10 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
12 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
13 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
14 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
17 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
18 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
19 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
22 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
23 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
24 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
25 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
26 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
27 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
28 to work in projective coordinates.
29 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
31 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
32 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
33 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
34 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
36 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
38 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
41 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
42 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
43 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
44 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
47 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
48 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
51 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
52 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
53 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
54 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
55 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
57 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
58 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
59 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
60 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
61 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
62 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
64 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
65 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
66 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
67 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
68 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
71 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
72 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
73 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
77 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
78 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
79 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
80 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
81 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
82 multi-version installation is managed.
85 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
86 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
87 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
88 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
89 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
92 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
93 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
94 chosen point SCA attacks.
95 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
97 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
98 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
101 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
102 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
103 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
106 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
107 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
108 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
109 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
110 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
111 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
112 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
113 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
114 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
117 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
118 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
121 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
122 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
125 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
126 binary and prime elliptic curves.
129 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
130 constant time fixed point multiplication.
133 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
134 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
135 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
136 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
137 ECDH derive operations).
138 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
141 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
144 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
145 randomness from the system.
146 [Matthias St. Pierre]
148 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
151 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
152 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
155 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
158 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
159 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
161 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
164 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
165 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
166 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
169 *) Memory allocation failures consistenly add an error to the error
173 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
174 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
177 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
180 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
181 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
182 [Matthias St. Pierre]
184 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
185 for the license change).
188 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
189 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
192 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
193 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
194 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
195 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
196 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
197 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
198 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
201 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
202 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
203 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
204 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
205 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
206 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
207 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
208 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
209 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
210 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
211 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
215 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
219 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
220 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
221 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
222 get the search data out of them.
225 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
226 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
227 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
228 https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/02/08/tlsv1.3/
230 NOTE: In this pre-release of OpenSSL a draft version of the
231 TLSv1.3 standard has been implemented. Implementations of different draft
232 versions of the standard do not inter-operate, and this version will not
233 inter-operate with an implementation of the final standard when it is
234 eventually published. Different pre-release versions may implement
235 different versions of the draft. The final version of OpenSSL 1.1.1 will
236 implement the final version of the standard.
237 TODO(TLS1.3): Remove the above note before final release
240 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
242 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
243 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
244 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
245 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
246 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
247 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
249 Some of its new features are:
250 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
251 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
252 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
253 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
254 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
255 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
257 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
259 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
260 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
261 to display all sorts of configuration data.
264 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
267 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
270 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
274 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
275 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
276 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
277 debug (or make silent).
280 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
281 arguments to config / Configure.
284 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
287 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
288 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
289 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
290 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
292 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
293 as documented in RFC6066.
294 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
295 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
297 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
298 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
299 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
300 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
302 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
303 original author does not agree with the license change.
306 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
309 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
310 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
313 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
314 without clearing the errors.
317 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
318 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
319 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
325 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
326 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
327 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
330 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
331 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
332 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
333 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
336 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
337 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
338 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
339 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
340 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
341 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
342 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
345 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
346 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
347 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
348 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
351 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
352 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
353 error code calls like this:
355 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
357 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
358 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
360 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
362 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
365 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
366 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
367 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
368 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
371 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
372 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
373 than just the call where this user data is passed.
376 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
378 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
380 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
381 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
382 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
383 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
384 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
385 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
386 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
390 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
391 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
392 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
396 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
397 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
398 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
400 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
404 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
405 platform rather than 'mingw'.
408 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
409 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
410 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
411 certificates and CRLs.
414 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
415 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
418 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
419 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
422 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
423 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
424 which is the minimum version we support.
427 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
428 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
429 are no longer allowed.
432 *) Add support for ARIA
435 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
436 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
437 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
441 *) Add support for SipHash
444 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
445 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
446 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
447 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
450 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
451 using the algorithm defined in
452 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
455 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
456 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
458 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
461 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
462 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
466 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
468 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
470 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
471 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
472 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
473 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
474 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
475 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
476 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
477 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
478 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
479 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
480 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
481 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
482 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
485 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
487 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
489 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
490 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
491 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
492 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
493 so this is considered safe.
495 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
500 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
502 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
503 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
504 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
505 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
506 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
507 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
509 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
514 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
515 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
516 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
517 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
520 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
522 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
523 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
524 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
525 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
526 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
528 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
529 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
530 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
533 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
537 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
539 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
540 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
541 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
542 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
543 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
544 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
545 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
546 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
547 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
548 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
550 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
551 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
553 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
554 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
558 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
560 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
562 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
563 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
564 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
565 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
566 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
567 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
568 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
569 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
570 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
571 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
572 key that is shared between multiple clients.
574 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
575 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
577 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
581 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
583 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
584 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
585 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
587 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
591 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
593 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
594 platform rather than 'mingw'.
597 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
598 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
599 which is the minimum version we support.
602 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
604 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
606 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
607 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
608 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
609 and servers are affected.
611 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
615 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
617 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
619 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
620 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
621 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
623 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
627 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
629 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
630 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
631 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
634 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
638 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
640 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
641 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
642 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
643 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
644 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
645 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
646 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
647 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
648 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
649 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
650 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
651 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
652 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
654 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
658 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
660 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
662 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
663 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
664 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
666 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
670 *) CMS Null dereference
672 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
673 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
674 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
675 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
676 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
679 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
683 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
685 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
686 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
687 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
688 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
689 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
690 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
691 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
692 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
693 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
694 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
695 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
696 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
697 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
698 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
700 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
701 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
702 providing reproducible case.
706 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
707 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
710 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
712 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
714 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
715 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
716 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
717 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
718 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
719 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
721 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
723 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
727 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
729 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
731 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
732 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
733 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
734 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
735 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
736 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
737 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
739 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
743 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
745 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
746 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
747 Denial Of Service attack.
749 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
753 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
754 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
756 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
757 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
758 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
759 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
760 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
761 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
762 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
763 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
764 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
765 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
766 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
767 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
768 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
769 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
770 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
772 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
773 that the connection fails
775 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
776 very little free memory
778 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
779 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
780 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
781 memory to service the multiple requests.
783 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
784 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
785 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
786 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
787 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
789 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
790 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
793 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
794 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
795 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
796 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
797 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
798 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
799 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
802 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
804 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
805 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
806 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
807 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
808 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
812 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
813 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
814 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
817 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
818 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
819 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
820 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
823 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
824 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
828 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
829 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
830 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
831 no-ops and deprecated.
834 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
835 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
837 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
839 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
840 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
841 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
844 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
845 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
846 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
847 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
848 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
849 and the validity of object reference counter.
850 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
852 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
853 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
854 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
855 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
858 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
861 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
862 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
863 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
864 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
866 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
870 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
871 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
874 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
877 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
880 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
881 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
882 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
883 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
884 name and is used as is.
887 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
888 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
889 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
892 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
893 the "no-shared" Configure option.
896 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
897 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
901 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
902 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
903 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
904 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
905 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
906 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
907 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
908 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
912 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
913 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
914 enabled with '--debug' builds.
915 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
917 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
918 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
919 these have been added.
922 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
923 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
924 functions for managing these have been added.
927 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
928 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
929 these have been added.
932 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
933 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
937 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
940 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
943 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
944 it is always safe to #include a header now.
947 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
950 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
953 *) Add support for HKDF.
956 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
959 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
960 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
961 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
962 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
963 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
964 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
965 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
968 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
969 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
970 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
973 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
974 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
975 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
976 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
977 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
978 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
979 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
981 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
982 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
985 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
988 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
989 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
990 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
991 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
992 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
993 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
997 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
998 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1001 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1002 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1003 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1006 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1007 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1008 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1009 implemented by other servers.
1012 *) Add X25519 support.
1013 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1014 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1015 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1016 key generation and key derivation.
1018 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1022 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1023 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1024 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1025 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1026 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1028 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1029 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1030 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1031 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1032 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1033 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1034 that of a valid user.
1037 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1038 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1039 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1040 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1042 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1043 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1045 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1046 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1047 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1048 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1050 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1051 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1055 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1056 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1057 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1058 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1059 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1060 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1062 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1063 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1064 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1067 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1070 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1071 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1072 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1076 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1077 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1078 old #define's might need to be updated.
1079 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1081 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1084 *) New "unified" build system
1086 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1087 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1089 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1090 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1091 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1093 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1094 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1095 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1096 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1099 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1100 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1101 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1102 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1103 libraries" in INSTALL.
1105 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1108 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1109 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1110 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1111 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1114 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1115 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1117 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1118 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1119 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1120 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1121 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1122 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1123 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1124 have been adapted accordingly.
1127 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1131 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1132 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1133 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1134 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1137 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1138 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1139 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1143 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1144 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1147 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1148 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1149 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1151 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1152 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1153 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1155 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1156 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1158 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1159 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1160 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1161 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1164 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1165 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1166 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1167 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1168 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1172 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1173 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1174 straightforward and less interdependent.
1176 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1177 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1178 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1180 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1181 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1182 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1184 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1185 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1186 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1187 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1189 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1190 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1193 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1194 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1195 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1196 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1200 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1202 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1204 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1205 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1206 before trying to build now.*
1209 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1213 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1215 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1216 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1217 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1218 used to authenticate the peer.
1220 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1221 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1222 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1223 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1224 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1227 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1228 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1229 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1230 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1231 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1232 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1234 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1235 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1236 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1237 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1238 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1239 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1240 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1241 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1244 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1245 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1246 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1247 compile with later releases.
1249 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1250 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1251 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1252 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1253 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1256 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1257 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1258 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1259 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1260 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1261 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1262 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1263 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1266 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1269 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1270 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1271 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1274 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1275 include the ec.h header file instead.
1278 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1279 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1280 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1283 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1284 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1287 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1288 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1290 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1291 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1292 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1295 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1296 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1297 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1298 an already created structure.
1299 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1300 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1301 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1302 for deprecated builds.
1305 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1306 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1307 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1308 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1309 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1310 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1311 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1314 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1315 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1316 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1317 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1320 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1321 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1324 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1325 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1328 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1329 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1330 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1331 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1332 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1333 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1334 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1338 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1339 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1340 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1343 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1346 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1348 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1350 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1352 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1353 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1361 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1362 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1364 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1365 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1366 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1370 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1373 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1374 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1375 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1376 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1379 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1380 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1381 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1382 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1385 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1386 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1387 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1389 *) New testing framework
1390 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1391 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1392 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1393 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1394 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1395 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1397 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1399 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1400 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1404 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1405 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1406 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1407 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1410 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1412 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1414 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1415 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1417 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1418 original RSA_PSK patch.
1421 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1422 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1423 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1424 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1427 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1428 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1431 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1432 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1433 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1436 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1437 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1438 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1439 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1443 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1444 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1445 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1446 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1449 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1450 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1451 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1452 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1453 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1454 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1457 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1458 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1459 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1460 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1461 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1462 header file has been removed.
1465 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1466 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1469 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1470 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1471 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1473 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1477 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1480 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1484 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1487 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1488 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1489 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1492 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1493 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1494 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1495 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1498 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1499 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1500 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1501 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1502 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1503 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1506 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1507 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1508 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1509 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1512 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1513 compatible client hello.
1516 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1517 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1518 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1520 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1523 *) Removed old DES API.
1526 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1532 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1537 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1540 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1541 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1542 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1543 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1544 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1545 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1546 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1547 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1548 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1549 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1550 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1553 *) Cleaned up dead code
1554 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1557 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1558 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1559 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1562 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1563 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1564 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1567 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1568 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1569 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1571 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1572 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1573 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1575 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1577 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1579 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1580 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1581 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1583 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1584 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1586 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1587 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1590 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1591 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1592 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1593 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1595 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1596 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1597 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1598 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1600 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1601 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1602 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1604 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1605 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1608 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1610 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1611 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1613 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1614 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1616 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1619 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1623 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1624 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1625 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1626 algorithms and include tests cases.
1629 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1633 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1634 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1637 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1638 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1640 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1641 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1644 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1645 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1649 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1650 sign or verify all in one operation.
1653 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1654 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1655 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1658 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1661 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1664 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1665 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1666 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1667 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1668 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1671 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1675 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1676 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1677 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1680 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1683 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1684 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1687 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1688 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1691 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1692 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1693 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1696 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1697 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1698 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1699 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1700 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1701 requested amount of entropy.
1704 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1705 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1708 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1709 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1710 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1714 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1715 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1716 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1719 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1720 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1721 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1722 will never use XTS mode.
1725 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1726 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1727 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1728 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1729 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1730 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1733 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1734 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1735 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1736 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1739 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1740 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1741 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1744 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1747 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1750 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1751 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1754 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1755 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1758 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1759 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1762 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1763 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1764 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1765 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1766 and rename any affected symbols.
1769 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1770 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1773 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1774 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1775 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1778 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1781 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1782 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1783 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1786 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1787 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1790 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1791 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1792 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1793 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1794 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1795 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1799 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1800 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1801 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1802 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1803 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1804 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1805 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1806 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1809 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1810 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1813 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1815 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1816 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1818 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1819 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1820 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1821 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1822 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1823 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1825 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1826 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1827 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1829 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1831 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1835 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1836 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1839 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1840 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1841 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1844 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1845 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1846 multi-process servers.
1849 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1850 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1851 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1852 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1853 RAND_METHOD structure.
1856 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1857 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1858 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1859 whose return value is often ignored.
1862 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1863 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1864 validated when establishing a connection.
1865 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1867 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1869 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1871 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1872 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1875 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1876 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1877 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1878 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1879 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1882 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1886 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1888 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1889 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1890 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1893 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1894 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1895 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1896 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1897 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1898 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1900 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1904 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1906 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1907 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1908 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1909 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1910 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1911 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1912 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1913 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1914 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1915 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1916 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1917 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1918 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1919 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1920 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1921 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1923 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1927 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1929 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1930 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1931 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1933 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1934 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1935 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1936 applications are not affected.
1938 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1944 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1945 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1946 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1948 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1952 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1953 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1956 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1960 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1961 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1964 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1966 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1967 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1968 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1971 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1972 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1973 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1974 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1975 will need to explicitly call either of:
1977 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1979 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1981 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1982 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1983 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1984 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1985 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1989 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1991 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1992 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1993 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1996 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2001 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2003 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2005 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2006 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2007 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2010 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2011 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2012 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2013 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2014 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2015 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2016 that of a valid user.
2020 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2022 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2023 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2024 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2025 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2026 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2027 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2028 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2029 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2030 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2031 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2032 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2034 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2035 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2036 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2037 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2038 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2040 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2044 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2046 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2047 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2048 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2050 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2051 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2052 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2053 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2054 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2057 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2058 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2059 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2060 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2061 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2062 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2063 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2064 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2065 as command line arguments.
2067 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2068 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2069 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2071 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2075 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2077 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2078 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2079 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2080 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2081 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2083 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2084 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2085 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2086 http://cachebleed.info.
2090 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2091 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2092 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2093 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2096 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2097 *) DH small subgroups
2099 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2100 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2101 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2102 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2103 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2104 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2105 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2106 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2107 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2108 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2110 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2111 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2112 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2113 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2114 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2116 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2117 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2118 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2119 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2121 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2122 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2124 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2128 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2130 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2131 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2132 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2135 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
2136 and Sebastian Schinzel.
2140 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
2142 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2144 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2145 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2146 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2147 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2148 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2149 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2150 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2151 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2152 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2153 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2154 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2155 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
2157 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
2161 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2163 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2164 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2165 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2166 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2167 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2168 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2169 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2172 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
2176 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2178 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2179 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2180 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2181 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2183 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2188 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2189 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2190 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2191 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2194 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
2196 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
2198 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
2200 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2202 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2203 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2204 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2205 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2206 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2207 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2209 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2213 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
2215 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
2216 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2220 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2222 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2224 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2225 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2228 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2229 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2230 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2231 client authentication enabled.
2233 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2237 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2239 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2240 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2241 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2244 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2245 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2246 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2247 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2248 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2251 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2252 independently by Hanno Böck.
2256 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2258 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2259 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2260 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2262 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2263 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2264 servers are not affected.
2266 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2270 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2272 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2273 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2274 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2276 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
2280 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2282 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2283 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2284 a double free of the ticket data.
2288 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
2289 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
2290 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
2293 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2295 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2297 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2298 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2299 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2301 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2304 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2306 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2308 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2309 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2310 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2311 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2312 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2313 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2314 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2315 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2317 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2321 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2323 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2324 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2325 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2326 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2327 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2328 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2329 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2330 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2333 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2337 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2339 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2340 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2341 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2342 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2343 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2344 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2348 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2350 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2351 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2352 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2353 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2354 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2355 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2356 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2358 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2362 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2364 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2365 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2366 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2368 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2369 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2370 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2375 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2377 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2378 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2379 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2381 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2382 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2383 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2385 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2389 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2391 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2392 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2393 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2395 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2396 (OpenSSL development team).
2400 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2402 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2403 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2404 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2408 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2410 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2411 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2412 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2413 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2414 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2415 SSL_client_methodv23)
2416 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2417 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2419 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2420 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2421 output may be predictable.
2423 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2424 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2426 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2430 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2432 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2433 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2434 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2435 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2436 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2437 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2439 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2444 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2446 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2447 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2449 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2453 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2456 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2458 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2459 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2460 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2461 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2462 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2463 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2466 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2467 (other platforms pending).
2468 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2470 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2471 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2474 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2475 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2476 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2479 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2480 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2481 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2482 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2485 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2486 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2488 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2489 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2490 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2491 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2492 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2494 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2497 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2498 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2499 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2500 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2502 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2504 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2506 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2507 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2508 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2511 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2514 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2515 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2516 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2519 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2520 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2523 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2524 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2527 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2528 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2529 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2530 algorithms and include tests cases.
2533 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2535 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2537 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2538 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2541 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2542 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2543 summary of the connection parameters.
2546 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2547 of connection parameters.
2550 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2551 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2553 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2554 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2557 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2560 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2561 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2564 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2565 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2568 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2572 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2573 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2574 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2577 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2580 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2581 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2584 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2585 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2586 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2590 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2591 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2594 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2598 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2602 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2603 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2604 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2605 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2608 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2609 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2612 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2613 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2614 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2618 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2619 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2620 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2621 use the certificate.
2624 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2627 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2628 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2629 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2630 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2631 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2632 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2633 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2635 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2636 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2640 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2641 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2642 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2645 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2646 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2647 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2648 supported signature algorithms.
2651 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2654 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2655 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2656 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2657 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2658 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2659 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2660 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2663 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2664 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2665 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2666 to have similar checks in it.
2668 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2669 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2670 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2671 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2672 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2675 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2676 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2677 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2678 shared signature algorithms.
2681 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2682 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2686 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2687 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2688 it couldn't be removed.
2691 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2692 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2695 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2696 functions. Add manual page.
2697 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2699 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2700 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2704 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2705 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2707 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2708 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2709 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2710 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2714 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2715 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2718 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2719 platform support for Linux and Android.
2722 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2725 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2726 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2727 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2728 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2729 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2732 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2733 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2734 the new parameter format automatically.
2737 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2738 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2741 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2744 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2745 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2746 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2747 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2748 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2751 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2752 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2753 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2754 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2755 to set list of supported curves.
2758 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2759 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2760 to print out received values.
2763 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2764 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2765 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2768 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2769 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2772 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2773 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2776 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2780 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2782 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2783 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2784 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2786 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2788 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2789 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2791 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2793 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2794 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2795 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2796 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2800 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2801 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2802 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2803 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2804 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2805 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2809 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2810 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2811 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2812 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2816 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2819 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2820 reporting this issue.
2824 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2825 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2826 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2827 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2828 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2829 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2833 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2834 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2835 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2836 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2837 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2838 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2839 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2844 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2845 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2847 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2848 and can vary with the CTX.
2851 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2853 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2854 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2855 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2856 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2857 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2859 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2861 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2862 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2864 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2866 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2867 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2868 errors for some broken certificates.
2870 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2872 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2874 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2875 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2877 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2878 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2879 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2880 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2882 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2883 of the OpenSSL core team.
2888 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2889 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2890 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2891 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2892 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2893 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2894 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2895 the OpenSSL core team.
2899 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2900 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2901 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2902 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2903 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2905 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2906 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2907 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2910 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2911 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2912 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2913 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2914 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2916 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2917 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2918 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2921 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2923 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2925 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2926 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2927 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2928 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2929 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2930 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2931 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2933 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2937 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2939 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2940 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2941 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2942 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2943 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2948 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2950 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2951 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2952 configured to send them.
2954 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2956 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2957 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2958 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2960 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2962 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2964 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2965 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2966 DigestInfo structures.
2968 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2972 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2974 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2975 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2976 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2978 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2979 Group for discovering this issue.
2983 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2984 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2985 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2986 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2987 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2989 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2990 researching this issue.
2994 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2995 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2996 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2997 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2999 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3004 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3005 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3006 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3010 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3011 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3012 Denial of Service attack.
3013 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3017 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3018 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3019 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3020 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3025 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3026 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3027 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3029 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3034 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3035 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3036 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3037 Denial of Service attack.
3039 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3040 discovering and researching this issue.
3044 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3045 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3046 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3047 output to the attacker.
3049 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3051 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3053 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3054 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3055 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3058 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3060 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3061 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3062 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3064 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3065 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3066 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3068 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3069 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3072 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3074 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3076 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3077 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3078 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3079 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3081 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3082 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3084 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3085 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3087 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3088 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3089 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3091 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3093 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3095 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3096 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3097 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3099 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3100 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3102 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3104 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3105 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3108 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3109 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3110 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3111 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3113 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3114 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3115 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3116 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3118 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3119 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3120 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3122 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3124 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3125 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3126 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3127 is at least 512 bytes long.
3129 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3131 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3133 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3134 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3135 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3138 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3139 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3140 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3143 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3144 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3145 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3146 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3147 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3148 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3149 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3151 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3153 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3154 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3155 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3157 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3159 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3161 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3162 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3163 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3165 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3166 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3167 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3168 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3170 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3172 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3173 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3174 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3175 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3176 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3180 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3181 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3184 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3185 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3187 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3188 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3189 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3190 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3191 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3193 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3196 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3200 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3202 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3203 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3205 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3206 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3210 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3211 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3214 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3218 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3220 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3221 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3222 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3223 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3224 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3225 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3226 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3227 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3228 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3229 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3232 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3233 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3234 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3235 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3236 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3237 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3241 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3243 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3244 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3245 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3247 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3248 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3250 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3252 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3255 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3256 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3258 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3259 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3260 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3261 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3262 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3263 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3264 Most broken servers should now work.
3265 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3266 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3269 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3272 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3274 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3275 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3278 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3279 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3280 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3281 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3282 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3285 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3286 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3287 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3288 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3289 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3292 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3293 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3295 *) Add support for SCTP.
3296 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3298 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3299 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3301 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3303 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3304 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3305 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3306 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3307 - s390x: z196 support;
3308 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3312 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3313 (removal of unnecessary code)
3314 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3316 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3319 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3322 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3323 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3324 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3326 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3328 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3329 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3330 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3331 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3332 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3334 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3335 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3336 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3338 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3339 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3340 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3342 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3343 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3345 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3347 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3348 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3349 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3352 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3353 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3357 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3358 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3359 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3362 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3363 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3364 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3365 the appropriate parameters.
3368 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3369 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3370 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3371 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3372 against a number of sample certificates.
3375 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3376 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3378 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3379 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3381 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3382 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3386 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3390 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3391 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3392 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3393 password based CMS).
3396 *) Session-handling fixes:
3397 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3398 but also support Session Tickets.
3399 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3400 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3401 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3402 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3403 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3404 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3406 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3409 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3411 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3414 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3415 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3416 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3417 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3418 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3421 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3422 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3425 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3426 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3427 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3430 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3431 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3432 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3433 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3436 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3437 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3438 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3441 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3442 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3444 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3447 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3448 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3451 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3454 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3455 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3458 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3459 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3462 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3465 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3466 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3467 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3470 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3473 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3476 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3477 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3480 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3481 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3482 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3485 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3488 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3492 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3493 FIPS modules versions.
3496 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3497 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3498 until after the certificate request message is received.
3501 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3502 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3503 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3504 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3507 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3508 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3509 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3510 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3513 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3514 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3515 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3516 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3517 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3518 and version checking.
3521 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3522 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3523 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3524 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3527 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3528 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3529 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3530 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3533 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3536 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3537 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3538 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3540 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3541 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3542 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3545 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3546 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3548 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3549 a few changes are required:
3551 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3552 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3553 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3554 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3555 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3558 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3560 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3561 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3562 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3563 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3564 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3565 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3566 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3567 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3568 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3571 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3572 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3573 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3576 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3578 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3579 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3580 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3581 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3584 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3586 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3587 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3588 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3589 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3590 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3591 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3592 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3593 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3594 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3595 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3596 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3597 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3598 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3600 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3602 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3604 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3605 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3606 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3607 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3609 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3610 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3612 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3613 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3614 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3615 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3617 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3618 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3620 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3621 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3623 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3624 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3626 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3627 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3628 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3630 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3631 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3632 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3634 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3635 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3636 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3637 the last update always remained unused).
3638 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3640 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3641 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3643 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3645 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3646 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3647 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3649 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3650 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3651 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3653 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3656 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3657 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3658 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3661 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3662 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3664 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3666 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3668 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3670 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3671 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3673 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3674 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3678 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3680 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3681 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3682 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3685 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3686 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3687 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3690 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3692 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3693 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3694 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3697 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3701 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3703 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3705 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3707 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3709 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3710 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3711 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3714 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3717 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3718 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3719 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3721 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3722 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3723 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3726 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3727 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3730 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3731 some responders need this.
3734 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3736 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3738 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3739 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3740 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3743 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3746 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3747 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3748 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3749 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3750 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3751 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3752 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3753 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3756 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3757 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3758 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3759 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3761 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3762 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3764 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3768 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3769 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3770 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3771 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3772 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3773 attempting to work them out.
3776 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3777 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3778 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3779 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3782 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3783 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3784 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3785 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3786 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3789 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3790 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3797 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3799 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3803 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3804 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3806 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3807 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3809 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3810 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3811 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3812 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3813 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3816 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3817 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3818 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3821 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3822 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3825 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3826 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3828 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3829 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3832 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3835 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3836 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3837 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3841 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3842 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3843 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3844 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3845 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3846 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3849 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3850 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3852 This work was sponsored by Google.
3855 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3856 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3857 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3858 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3859 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3860 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3861 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3864 This work was sponsored by Google.
3867 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3869 This work was sponsored by Google.
3872 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3873 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3874 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3875 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3877 This work was sponsored by Google.
3880 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3881 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3882 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3883 CRL functionality in future.
3885 This work was sponsored by Google.
3888 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3890 This work was sponsored by Google.
3893 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3894 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3896 This work was sponsored by Google.
3899 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3900 and URI types are currently supported.
3902 This work was sponsored by Google.
3905 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3906 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3907 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3908 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3909 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3910 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3911 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3912 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3914 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3915 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3916 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3918 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3919 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3920 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3921 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3923 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3924 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3925 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3926 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3927 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3928 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3929 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3930 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3932 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3934 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3935 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3936 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3938 This work was sponsored by Google.
3941 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3944 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3945 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3946 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3949 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3950 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3953 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3954 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3957 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3958 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3959 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3960 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3961 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3962 content types and variants.
3965 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3968 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3969 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3970 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3971 files from the associated perl scripts.
3974 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3975 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3976 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3978 *) s390x assembler pack.
3981 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3985 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3986 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3987 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3988 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3989 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3990 to use. For example, specify an option
3992 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3994 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3995 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3996 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3997 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3998 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3999 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4001 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4002 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4003 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4004 return non-zero for success.
4006 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4009 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4010 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4014 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4017 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4018 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4019 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4020 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4021 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4022 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4023 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4024 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4025 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4027 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4028 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4029 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4030 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4031 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4032 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4034 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4035 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4036 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4037 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4038 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4039 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4043 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4046 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4048 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4049 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4050 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4053 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4054 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4057 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4058 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4059 with no application modification.
4061 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4062 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4064 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4065 or server extensions to be examined.
4067 This work was sponsored by Google.
4070 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4071 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4072 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4074 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4075 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4076 ciphersuite support.
4077 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4079 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4080 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4081 to output in BER and PEM format.
4084 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4085 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4086 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4087 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4088 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4091 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4092 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4093 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4097 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4098 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4099 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4100 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4101 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4102 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4103 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4104 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4107 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4108 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4109 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4110 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4112 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4113 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4114 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4118 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4119 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4120 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4121 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4122 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4123 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4124 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4125 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4126 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4128 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4129 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4130 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4131 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4132 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4133 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4134 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4135 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4136 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4137 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4138 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4141 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4142 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4143 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4145 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4146 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4150 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4151 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4152 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4155 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4156 it yet and it is largely untested.
4159 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4162 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4163 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4164 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4167 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4170 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4171 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4172 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4173 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4176 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4177 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4178 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4179 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4180 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4183 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4184 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4187 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4188 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4189 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4190 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4193 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4194 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4195 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4196 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4199 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4200 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4203 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4204 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4205 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4206 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4209 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4210 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4211 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4214 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4218 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4219 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4222 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4223 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4224 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4228 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4229 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4230 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4233 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4234 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4235 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4236 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4239 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4240 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4241 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4242 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4243 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4244 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4247 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4248 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4249 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4250 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4251 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4253 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4254 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4255 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4256 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4257 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4260 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4261 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4262 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4263 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4265 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4266 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4267 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4268 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4269 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4275 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4276 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4280 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4281 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4284 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4285 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4288 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4289 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4290 functional reference processing.
4293 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4294 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4298 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4299 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4300 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4303 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4304 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4305 application to support multiple signers.
4308 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4312 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4313 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4314 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4315 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4316 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4319 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4323 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4324 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4325 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4326 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4330 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4331 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4332 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4333 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4334 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4335 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4336 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4337 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4340 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4341 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4342 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4343 between digests and public key types.
4346 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4347 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4348 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4349 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4352 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4353 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4357 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4360 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4364 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4365 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4366 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4367 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4372 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4374 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4376 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4378 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4379 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4380 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4381 functionality for RSA.
4384 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4385 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4386 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4389 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4390 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4393 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4394 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4395 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4398 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4399 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4402 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4403 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4406 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4407 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4411 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4412 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4413 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4417 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4418 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4419 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4420 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4421 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4422 of public and private key structures.
4425 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4426 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4429 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4430 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4431 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4434 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4438 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4439 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4440 SSL_get_psk_identity
4441 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4443 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4445 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4446 and response verification functionality.
4447 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4449 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4450 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4451 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4452 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4453 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4454 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4455 server_name extension.
4457 New functions (subject to change):
4459 SSL_get_servername()
4460 SSL_get_servername_type()
4463 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4465 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4466 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4467 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4468 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4469 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4471 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4473 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4474 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4475 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4476 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4477 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4478 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4481 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4483 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4486 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4487 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4488 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4489 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4490 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4493 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4494 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4498 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4499 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4500 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4501 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4504 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4505 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4506 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4507 using the maximum available value.
4510 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4511 in addition to the text details.
4514 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4515 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4516 handle several customised structures at all.
4519 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4520 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4521 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4524 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4527 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4528 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4529 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4532 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4533 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4534 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4537 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4538 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4542 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4545 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4548 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4550 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4551 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4552 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4553 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4554 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4555 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4556 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4557 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4559 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4560 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4561 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4563 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4565 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4566 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4568 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4569 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4572 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4573 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4574 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4577 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4578 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4579 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4580 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4581 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4582 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4585 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4586 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4587 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4590 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4591 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4592 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4593 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4594 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4595 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4599 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4600 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4603 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4604 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4605 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4608 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4611 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4612 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4613 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4614 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4615 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4616 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4617 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4618 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4619 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4622 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4623 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4624 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4627 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4628 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4631 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4632 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4633 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4634 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4635 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4636 know what you are doing.
4637 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4639 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4640 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4641 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4642 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4643 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4644 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4648 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4649 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4650 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4652 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4654 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4655 warnings in other configurations.
4658 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4659 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4660 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4662 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4664 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4665 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4666 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4668 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4669 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4670 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4671 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4674 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4678 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4679 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4681 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4683 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4684 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4685 other than a simple chain.
4686 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4688 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4689 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4690 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4691 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4694 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4695 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4696 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4697 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4698 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4699 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4700 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4701 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4702 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4704 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4705 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4706 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4707 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4708 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4709 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4711 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4713 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4714 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4717 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4718 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4721 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4723 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4725 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4726 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4727 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4728 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4729 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4733 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4735 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4736 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4737 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4738 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4740 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4741 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4742 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4743 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4745 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4746 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4747 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4750 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4751 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4755 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4756 to handle some structures.
4759 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4761 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4763 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4766 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4769 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4772 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4773 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4777 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4779 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4781 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4783 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4786 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4787 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4788 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4789 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4791 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4792 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4794 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4795 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4798 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4799 s_client and s_server.
4802 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4803 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4805 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4806 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4808 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4809 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4810 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4811 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4812 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4815 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4817 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4818 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4821 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4822 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4825 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4826 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4827 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4828 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4830 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4831 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4833 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4835 *) Various precautionary measures:
4837 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4839 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4840 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4841 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4843 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4844 outside the expected range.
4846 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4849 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4851 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4852 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4853 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4855 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4858 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4861 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4863 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4866 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4867 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4868 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4870 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4873 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4874 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4875 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4879 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4881 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4882 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
4883 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4884 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4886 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4887 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4890 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4892 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4893 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4894 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4896 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4898 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4899 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4900 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4901 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4904 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4905 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4906 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4907 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4908 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4909 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4910 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4912 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4914 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4915 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4916 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4917 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4918 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4920 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4921 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4923 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4924 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4925 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4926 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4927 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4929 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4931 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4932 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4933 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4934 sets may exist with different names.
4937 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4938 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4939 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4940 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4941 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4942 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4943 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4944 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4945 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4947 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4949 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4950 implementation in the following ways:
4952 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4955 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4956 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4957 ignored for embedded content.
4959 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4960 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4963 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4964 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4965 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4966 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4968 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4969 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4972 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4973 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4976 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4977 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4978 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4979 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4980 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4981 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4985 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4986 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4987 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4991 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4992 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4993 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4994 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4995 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4996 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4997 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4998 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5000 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5001 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5002 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5003 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5004 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5005 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5006 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5008 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5009 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5010 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5011 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5012 to s_client and s_server.
5015 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5017 *) Fix various bugs:
5018 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5019 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5020 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5021 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5022 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5024 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5026 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5027 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5028 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5029 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5030 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5031 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5032 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5033 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5036 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5037 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5038 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5041 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5042 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5043 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5046 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5047 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5050 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5051 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5052 with no application modification.
5054 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5055 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5057 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5058 or server extensions to be examined.
5060 This work was sponsored by Google.
5063 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5064 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5065 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5066 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5067 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5068 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5069 server_name extension.
5071 New functions (subject to change):
5073 SSL_get_servername()
5074 SSL_get_servername_type()
5077 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5079 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5080 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5081 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5082 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5083 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5085 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5087 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5088 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5089 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5090 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5091 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5092 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5095 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5097 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5100 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5103 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5104 (which previously caused an internal error).
5107 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5110 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5111 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5113 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5114 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5115 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5117 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5118 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5119 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5120 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5122 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5123 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5124 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5125 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5127 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5128 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5129 information. For detailed background information, see
5130 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5131 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5132 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5133 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5134 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5135 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5136 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5137 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5138 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5139 remove a conditional branch.
5141 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5142 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5143 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5144 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5145 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5146 remains as a deprecated alias.
5148 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5149 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5150 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5151 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5153 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5154 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5155 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5156 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5157 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5158 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5159 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5160 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5162 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5164 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5165 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5166 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5167 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5168 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5169 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5170 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5171 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5172 in a different context.
5175 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5176 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5177 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5180 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5181 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5182 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5184 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5186 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5187 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5188 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5189 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5190 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5193 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5194 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5195 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5196 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5197 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5198 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5201 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5202 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5203 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5204 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5205 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5208 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5209 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5211 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5212 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5213 Improve header file function name parsing.
5216 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5217 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5220 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5222 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5223 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5224 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5226 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5227 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5229 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5230 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5232 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5233 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5234 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5236 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5237 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5238 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5239 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5240 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5241 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5242 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5243 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5244 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5246 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5247 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5248 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5249 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5250 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5252 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5253 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5254 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5255 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5256 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5257 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5258 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5259 multiple values to extend the available space.
5263 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5265 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5266 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5268 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5271 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5272 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5273 undesirable limitations.
5274 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5276 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5277 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5278 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5279 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5280 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5281 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5282 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5285 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5287 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5288 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5289 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5291 The latter two were purportedly from
5292 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5295 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5296 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5297 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5300 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5301 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5304 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5305 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5306 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5307 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5309 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5310 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5311 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5314 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5315 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5316 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5317 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5318 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5319 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5322 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5324 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5325 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5328 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5329 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5331 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5332 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5333 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5334 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5337 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5338 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5341 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5342 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5343 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5344 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5345 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5346 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5347 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5351 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5352 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5353 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5354 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5357 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5358 under VC++ build system.
5361 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5362 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5365 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5367 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5368 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5369 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5370 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5371 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5373 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5374 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5375 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5377 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5380 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5381 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5384 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5385 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5387 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5390 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5391 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5393 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5394 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5397 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5398 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5402 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5404 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5407 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5410 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5411 key into the same file any more.
5414 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5417 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5418 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5420 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5421 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5424 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5425 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5426 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5427 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5428 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5429 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5431 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5432 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5433 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5436 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5437 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5438 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5439 - add new function for parameter creation
5440 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5441 BN_BLINDING parameters
5442 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5443 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5444 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5448 *) Add support for DTLS.
5449 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5451 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5452 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5455 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5456 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5459 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5460 the apps/openssl applications.
5463 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5464 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5465 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5468 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5469 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5471 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5472 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5474 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5475 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5476 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5477 avoid this algorithm.)
5481 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5482 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5483 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5486 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5487 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5490 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5491 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5492 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5495 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5497 The blank line is mandatory.
5501 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5502 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5506 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5507 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5509 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5510 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5511 to support policy checking and print out.
5514 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5515 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5516 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5517 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5519 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5522 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5523 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5525 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5526 implementation contributed by IBM.
5527 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5529 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5530 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5531 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5532 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5534 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5535 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5537 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5538 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5539 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5540 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5541 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5542 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5545 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5546 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5547 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5548 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5549 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5550 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5551 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5554 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5557 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5558 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5559 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5560 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5561 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5562 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5563 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5564 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5567 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5568 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5569 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5570 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5573 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5576 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5579 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5580 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5581 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5582 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5583 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5584 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5585 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5588 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5589 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5592 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5593 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5594 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5597 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5598 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5599 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5603 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5604 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5607 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5608 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5609 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5610 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5613 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5614 initialised value as BN_new().
5615 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5617 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5620 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5621 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5622 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5623 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5624 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5625 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5626 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5627 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5628 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5629 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5630 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5631 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5632 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5633 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5634 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5636 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5637 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5638 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5639 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5642 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5643 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5644 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5645 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5646 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5647 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5648 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5649 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5650 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5653 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5654 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5655 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5656 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5657 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5658 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5659 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5662 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5663 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5664 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5665 these have been updated also.
5668 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5669 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5670 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5671 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5672 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5676 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5677 structure of type "other".
5680 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5681 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5682 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5683 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5684 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5685 situation in the script.
5686 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5688 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5689 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5690 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5691 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5692 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5693 used as premaster secret.
5694 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5696 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5697 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5698 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5700 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5701 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5703 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5704 control of the error stack.
5707 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5710 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5711 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5712 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5713 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5716 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5717 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5718 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5721 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5722 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5723 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5727 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5728 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5729 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5730 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5733 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5734 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5735 the following flags are defined:
5737 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5738 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5739 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5742 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5743 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5744 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5745 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5749 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5750 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5751 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5752 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5753 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5756 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5757 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5758 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5761 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5762 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5763 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5764 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5765 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5766 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5769 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5773 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5776 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5779 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5782 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5783 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5784 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5785 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5786 default implementation more easily.
5789 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5793 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5794 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5797 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5798 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5799 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5800 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5802 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5803 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5804 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5805 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5808 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5809 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5813 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5814 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5815 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5816 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5817 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5818 scalar * generator).
5819 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5821 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5822 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5823 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5827 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5828 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5829 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5830 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5831 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5832 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5833 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5834 linker additions, eg;
5835 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5838 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5839 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5840 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5843 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5844 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5845 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5849 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5850 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5851 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5852 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5855 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5856 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5857 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5858 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5859 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5860 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5861 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5862 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5863 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5864 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5866 Example for using the new callback interface:
5868 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5872 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5874 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5875 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5876 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5877 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5878 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5879 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5884 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5885 available to TLS with the number defined in
5886 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5889 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5890 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5892 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5893 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5894 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5895 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5897 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5898 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5900 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5901 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5905 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5906 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5909 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5910 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5911 and a macro that behave like
5912 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5914 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5917 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5918 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5919 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5921 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5923 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5926 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5927 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5928 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5929 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5931 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5932 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5933 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5934 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5935 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5936 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5937 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5938 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5940 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5941 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5944 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5945 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5947 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5948 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5949 files while avoiding the low level API.
5951 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5952 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5953 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5954 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5956 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5957 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5958 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5959 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5960 instead of the low level API.
5963 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5964 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5965 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5966 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5967 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5970 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5971 down to the template encoder.
5974 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5975 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5978 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5979 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5980 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5981 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5983 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5984 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5986 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5987 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5989 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5990 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5993 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5994 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5995 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5998 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5999 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6001 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6002 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6004 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6005 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6008 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6012 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6013 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6014 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6015 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6016 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6017 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6019 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6020 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6023 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6024 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6025 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6026 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6027 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6028 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6029 various internal method names.)
6031 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6032 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6034 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6035 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6037 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6038 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6040 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6041 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6042 methods are undefined.
6044 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6045 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6047 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6048 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6049 length of the modulus.
6051 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6052 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6054 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6055 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6057 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6058 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6060 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6061 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6062 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6065 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6066 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6067 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6068 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6070 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6071 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6072 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6073 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6075 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6076 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6078 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6079 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6080 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6081 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6082 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6084 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6085 This applies to the following functions:
6090 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6091 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6093 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6094 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6098 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6103 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6105 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6106 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6107 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6108 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6109 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6111 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6112 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6114 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6115 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6116 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6118 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6119 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6121 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6122 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6123 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6124 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6125 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6127 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6129 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6130 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6131 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6132 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6133 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6134 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6135 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6136 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6137 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6138 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6139 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6140 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6142 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6145 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6146 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6147 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6148 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6150 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6151 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6152 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6153 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6158 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6159 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6160 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6161 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6162 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6164 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6165 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6166 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6167 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6168 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6169 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6170 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6171 adding different types of curves.
6172 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6174 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6175 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6176 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6179 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6180 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6182 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6183 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6184 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6185 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6187 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6189 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6190 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6192 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6193 library. Most notably,
6194 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6195 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6196 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6197 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6198 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6199 extracted before the specific public key;
6200 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6201 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6203 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6204 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6206 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6207 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6208 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6209 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6211 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6212 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6213 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6215 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6216 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6217 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6218 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6219 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6220 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6224 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6226 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6228 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6230 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6231 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6232 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6235 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6236 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6237 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6240 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6243 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6244 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6247 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6248 run algorithm test programs.
6251 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6254 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6255 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6256 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6257 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6258 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6261 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6262 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6265 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6267 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6268 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6269 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6271 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6272 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6274 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6275 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6277 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6278 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6279 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6281 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6282 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6283 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6284 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6285 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6286 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6287 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6290 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6292 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6293 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6295 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6296 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6297 undesirable limitations.
6298 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6300 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6302 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6303 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6304 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6306 The latter two were purportedly from
6307 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6310 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6311 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6312 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6315 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6316 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6319 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6321 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6322 module in FIPS mode.
6325 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6328 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6329 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6330 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6331 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6334 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6336 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6337 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6338 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6339 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6340 the difference induced by this change.
6343 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6345 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6346 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6347 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6348 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6349 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6351 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6352 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6353 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6355 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6356 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6359 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6360 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6361 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6362 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6366 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6367 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6368 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6369 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6370 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6372 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6373 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6374 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6375 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6376 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6377 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6379 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6381 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6382 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6383 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6384 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6385 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6388 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6392 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6393 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6394 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6397 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6398 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6399 structures constant.
6402 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6404 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6407 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6408 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6409 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6410 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6411 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6412 some needed definitions.
6415 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6418 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6419 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6420 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6421 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6424 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6426 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6427 server and client random values. Previously
6428 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6429 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6431 This change has negligible security impact because:
6433 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6436 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6439 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6440 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6443 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6446 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6448 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6451 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6452 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6453 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6455 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6458 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6459 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6462 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6463 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6464 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6466 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6469 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6470 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6471 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6475 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6476 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6477 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6478 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6480 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6481 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6482 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6483 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6487 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6489 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6490 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6491 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6492 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6493 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6496 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6499 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6500 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6502 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6503 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6504 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6505 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6506 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6507 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6508 rather than being initialized to 1.
6511 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6513 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6514 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6515 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6517 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6519 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6521 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6522 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6523 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6524 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6525 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6526 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6529 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6530 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6531 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6532 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6533 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6537 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6538 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6539 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6540 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6541 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6544 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6545 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6546 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6550 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6551 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6553 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6556 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6558 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6560 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6561 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6563 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6565 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6566 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6570 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6571 exiting on the first error in a request.
6574 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6575 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6579 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6580 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6581 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6582 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6584 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6585 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6588 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6589 blocks during encryption.
6592 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6593 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6594 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6595 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6599 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6600 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6601 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6602 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6603 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6607 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6609 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6610 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6611 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6612 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6615 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6616 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6617 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6618 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6619 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6621 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6622 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6623 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6624 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6625 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6626 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6627 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6628 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6629 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6632 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6633 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6634 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6635 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6638 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6639 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6642 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6644 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6645 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6646 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6647 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6648 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6650 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6651 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6652 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6654 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6655 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6656 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6657 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6658 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6660 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6661 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6662 used by default when no-err is given.
6665 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6666 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6668 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6669 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6670 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6671 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6672 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6674 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6675 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6676 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6677 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6679 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6681 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6683 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6685 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6686 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6687 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6688 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6692 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6693 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6695 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6696 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6699 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6700 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6701 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6702 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6705 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6706 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6707 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6708 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6709 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6710 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6711 followup to PR #377.
6714 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6715 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6718 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6719 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6720 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

6723 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6725 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6728 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6729 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6730 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6731 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6733 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6737 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6738 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6742 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6743 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6744 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6745 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6746 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6747 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6749 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6750 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6751 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6752 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6753 have to be made anyway).
6756 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6757 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6758 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6761 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6762 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6763 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6766 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6767 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6768 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6770 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6771 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6772 edit numbers of the version.
6773 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6775 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6776 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6777 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6779 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6780 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6782 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6783 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6784 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6786 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6787 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6789 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6790 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6792 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6793 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6795 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6796 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6798 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6800 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6802 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6803 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6804 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6806 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6807 representations in a platform independent manner.
6808 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6810 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6811 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6812 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6814 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6816 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6818 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6819 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6821 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6823 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6825 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6826 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6827 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6829 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6831 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6833 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6834 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6836 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6837 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6839 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6840 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6842 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6843 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6845 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6847 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6849 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6850 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6852 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6853 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6855 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6856 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6858 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6860 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6861 the 0.9.6 release series:
6863 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6864 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6866 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6868 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6871 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6872 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6874 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6875 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6877 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6878 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6879 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6880 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6882 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6883 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6884 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6886 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6887 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6888 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6889 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6891 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6892 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6893 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6896 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6897 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6898 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6899 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6900 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6901 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6902 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6903 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6906 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6907 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6908 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6911 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6912 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6913 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6914 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6915 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6917 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6918 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6920 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6921 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6924 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6925 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6926 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6927 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6928 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6929 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6932 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6933 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6934 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6937 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6938 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6941 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6942 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6943 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6944 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6945 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6946 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6947 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6950 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6951 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6952 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6953 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6954 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6955 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
6958 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6959 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6960 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6961 declaration has been changed from
6964 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6965 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6966 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6967 has been changed into
6968 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6970 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6971 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6972 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6974 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6975 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6977 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6978 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6979 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6980 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6981 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6982 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6983 always load it have also been added.
6986 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6987 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6988 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6990 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6992 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6993 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6994 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6996 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6997 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6998 command line option can be used to specify an
7002 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7003 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7006 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7007 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7008 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7011 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7012 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7013 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7014 to work with the new engine framework.
7015 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7017 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7018 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7019 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7020 to work with the new engine framework.
7023 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7024 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7025 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7027 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7028 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7030 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7031 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7032 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7033 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7035 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7037 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7038 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7040 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7041 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7043 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7044 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7045 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7048 *) Add new functions
7050 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7051 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7052 These are similar to
7055 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7056 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7057 still in the error queue.
7058 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7060 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7062 default_algorithms = ALL
7063 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7066 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7069 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7072 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7073 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7074 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7075 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7077 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7078 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7080 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7081 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7083 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7084 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7087 *) New functions/macros
7089 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7090 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7091 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7092 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7094 to request calling a callback function
7096 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7097 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7099 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7100 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7101 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7102 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7103 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7104 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7105 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7106 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7107 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7108 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7110 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7111 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7114 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7115 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7116 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7117 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7118 the configuration scripts.
7120 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7121 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7122 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7124 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7125 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7127 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7128 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7129 when reusing an existing buffer.
7132 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7133 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7136 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7137 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7140 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7141 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7142 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7143 has the same effect.
7144 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7146 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7147 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7148 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7149 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7150 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7151 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7154 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7155 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7156 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7157 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7159 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7160 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7161 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7162 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7164 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7165 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7168 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7169 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7170 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7171 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7172 default), and then completely removed.
7175 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7176 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7177 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7178 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7179 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7180 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7181 particular extension is supported.
7184 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7185 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7188 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7189 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7190 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7191 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7192 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7193 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7194 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7195 requires the destination to be valid.
7197 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7198 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7201 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7202 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7203 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7206 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7207 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7209 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7210 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7211 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7212 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7213 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7214 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7215 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7216 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7217 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7218 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7219 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7220 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7221 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7222 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7223 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7224 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7225 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7226 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7227 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7231 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7234 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7235 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7236 become part of libeay.num as well.
7239 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7240 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7241 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7242 false once a handshake has been completed.
7243 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7244 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7245 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7246 client has followed the request.)
7249 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7250 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7251 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7252 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7254 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7255 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7256 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7259 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7262 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7263 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7264 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7267 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7268 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7271 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7272 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7273 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7274 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7277 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7278 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7279 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7280 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7281 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7282 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7285 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7286 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7287 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7288 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7289 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7290 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7291 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7292 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7295 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7296 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7299 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7302 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7303 md_data void pointer.
7306 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7307 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7308 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7309 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7310 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7311 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7314 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7315 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7316 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7317 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7318 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7319 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7320 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7321 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7322 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7323 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7324 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7325 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7326 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7327 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7328 rather than letting it slide.
7330 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7331 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7332 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7335 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7336 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7337 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7338 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7339 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7340 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7341 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7342 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7343 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7346 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7347 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7348 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7349 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7350 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7352 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7355 *) Add EVP test program.
7358 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7361 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7362 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7363 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7364 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7365 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7368 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7369 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7370 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7371 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7372 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7373 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7374 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7376 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7377 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7378 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7383 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7384 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7385 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7386 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7387 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7391 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7392 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7393 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7394 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7397 des_key_schedule ks;
7399 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7400 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7402 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7405 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7406 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7407 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7408 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7409 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7410 functions prevents this.
7413 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7416 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7417 correct _ecb suffix.
7420 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7421 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7422 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7423 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7424 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7427 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7430 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7431 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7432 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7433 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7435 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7436 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7438 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7439 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7440 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7441 via Richard Levitte]
7443 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7444 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7445 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7446 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7449 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7452 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7453 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

7467 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7468 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7470 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7471 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7472 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7473 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7474 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7475 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7478 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7479 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7482 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7483 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7484 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7485 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7487 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7488 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7489 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7490 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7491 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7492 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7496 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7497 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7498 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7499 and interrupts/cancellations.
7502 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7503 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7506 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7507 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7508 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7510 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7511 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7515 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7516 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7517 than this minimum value is recommended.
7520 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7521 that are easily reachable.
7524 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7525 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7527 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7529 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7530 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7531 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7532 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7535 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7536 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7537 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7540 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7541 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7542 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7543 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7544 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7545 internally such as S/MIME.
7547 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7548 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7549 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7551 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7555 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7556 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7557 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7558 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7560 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7562 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7564 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7565 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7566 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7570 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7571 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7572 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7573 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7574 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7575 a window system and the like.
7578 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7579 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7582 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7583 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7584 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7585 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7586 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7587 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7588 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7589 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7590 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7594 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7595 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7599 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7600 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7601 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7602 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7603 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7604 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7605 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7606 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7609 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7610 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7611 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7612 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7613 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7614 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7615 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7616 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7617 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7618 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7619 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7620 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7621 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7622 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7623 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7624 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7625 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7628 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7629 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7630 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7631 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7632 internal engine_int.h header.
7635 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7636 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7637 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7638 modify their own ones).
7641 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7642 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7643 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7644 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7645 later on via ctrl() commands.
7646 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7647 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7648 structural references.
7649 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7650 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7651 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7652 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7653 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7654 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7655 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7656 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7657 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7658 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7659 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7660 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7663 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7664 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7665 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7666 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7667 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7668 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7669 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7670 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7673 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7674 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7677 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7678 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7681 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7682 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7683 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7684 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7685 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7686 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7687 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7690 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7691 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7692 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7693 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7694 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7696 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7697 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7701 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7703 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7704 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7705 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7707 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7708 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7710 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7711 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7712 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7714 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7715 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7717 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7718 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7720 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7722 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7723 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7724 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7727 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7728 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7731 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7732 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7733 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7734 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7735 is 40 of more characters long.
7738 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7739 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7743 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7744 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7747 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7748 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7752 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7754 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7755 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7758 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7760 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7761 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7762 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7764 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7765 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7767 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7770 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7774 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7775 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7776 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7777 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7779 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7781 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7782 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7784 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7785 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7786 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7787 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7788 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7789 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7791 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7792 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7794 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7795 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7797 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7798 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7800 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7801 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7802 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7803 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7805 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7806 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7808 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7809 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7811 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7812 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7813 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7814 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7815 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7818 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7819 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7820 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7821 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7824 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7825 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7826 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7830 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7831 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7832 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7833 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7834 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7835 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7836 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7837 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7841 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7842 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7845 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7846 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7847 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7848 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7851 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7852 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7853 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7854 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7855 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7856 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7857 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7858 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7859 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7860 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7863 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7864 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7865 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7866 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7867 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7868 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7869 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7870 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7872 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7873 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7874 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7875 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7878 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7879 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7880 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7881 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7883 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7884 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7885 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7886 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7887 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7891 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7892 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7893 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7894 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7898 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7899 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7900 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7903 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7904 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7905 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7906 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7907 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7910 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7913 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7914 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7915 option to ocsp utility.
7918 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7919 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7920 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7921 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7922 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7923 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7924 the request is nonce-less.
7927 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7928 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7929 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7932 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7933 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7934 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7937 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7938 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7939 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7940 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7941 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7944 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7945 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7949 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7950 additional certificates supplied.
7953 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7954 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7958 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7959 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7962 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7963 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7964 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7965 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7966 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7967 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7968 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7969 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7970 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7972 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7973 request to response.
7976 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7977 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7978 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7979 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7980 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7981 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7982 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7983 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7984 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7985 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7986 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7989 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7990 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7991 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7992 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7995 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7996 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7998 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7999 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8000 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8003 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8004 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8005 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8006 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8007 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8009 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8010 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8011 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8014 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8015 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8016 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8017 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8018 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8019 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8020 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8021 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8023 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8024 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8025 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8026 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8027 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8028 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8031 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8032 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8033 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8034 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8035 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8036 printout format cleaned up.
8039 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8040 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8041 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8042 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8043 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8044 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8045 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8046 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8049 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8050 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8051 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8052 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8053 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8054 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8055 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8056 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8059 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8060 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8061 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8062 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8064 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8066 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8067 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8068 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8069 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8072 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8073 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8074 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8075 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8077 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8079 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8080 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8081 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8082 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8084 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8085 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8087 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8088 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8089 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8092 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8093 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8094 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8097 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8098 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8099 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8100 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8101 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8102 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8103 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8104 functions are provided:
8106 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8107 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8108 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8109 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8111 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8112 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8113 extended allocation function is enabled.
8114 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8115 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8116 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8118 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8119 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8120 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8121 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8122 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8125 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8126 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8127 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8129 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8130 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8131 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8134 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8135 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8136 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8137 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8138 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8139 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8140 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8141 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8142 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8145 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8146 provide utility functions which an application needing
8147 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8148 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8149 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8151 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8152 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8153 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8154 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8155 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8156 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8157 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8158 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8159 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8161 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8162 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8163 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8164 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8167 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8168 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8169 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8170 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8171 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8172 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8173 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8174 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8175 will be added elsewhere.
8178 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8179 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8180 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8181 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8184 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8185 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8186 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8187 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8188 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8189 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8190 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8191 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8192 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8193 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8194 to produce the required SET OF.
8197 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8198 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8199 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8202 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8203 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8204 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8205 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8206 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8207 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8210 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8211 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8212 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8215 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8216 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8217 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8220 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8221 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8222 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8223 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8224 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8227 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8228 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8231 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8232 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8233 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8234 certificates and CRLs.
8237 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8238 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8239 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8242 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8243 entries for variables.
8246 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8247 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8248 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8249 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8252 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8253 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8254 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8255 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8256 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8257 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8260 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8261 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8263 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8264 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8265 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8268 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8272 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8273 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8274 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8275 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8276 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8277 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8280 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8283 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8284 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8285 for now but they will eventually go away.
8288 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8289 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8290 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8291 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8292 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8293 has also been converted to the new form.
8296 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8297 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8298 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8299 for negative moduli.
8302 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8303 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8306 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8310 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8311 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8312 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8313 type-specific callbacks.
8316 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8318 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8319 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8321 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8322 in sections depending on the subject.
8325 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8329 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8330 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8331 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8332 be handled deterministically).
8333 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8335 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8336 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8337 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8340 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8343 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8344 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8345 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8346 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8347 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8350 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8351 sign of the number in question.
8353 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8355 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8356 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8357 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8358 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8359 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8362 *) New function BN_swap.
8365 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8366 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8367 results on negative inputs.
8370 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8371 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8372 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8375 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8376 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8377 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8378 and add new functions:
8387 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8391 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8393 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8394 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8396 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8397 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8398 be reduced modulo m.
8399 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8402 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8403 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8404 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8406 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8407 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8408 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8409 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8410 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8411 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8416 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8417 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8418 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8419 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8420 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8422 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8423 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8424 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8428 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8431 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8432 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8435 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8436 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8437 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8438 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8442 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8445 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8448 *) Add the following functions:
8450 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8452 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8454 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8456 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8457 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8458 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8459 libraries unless it's really needed.
8461 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8462 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8463 declarations (they differed!).
8466 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8469 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8472 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8475 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8476 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8479 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8480 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8481 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8483 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8484 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8487 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8490 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8493 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8496 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8497 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8498 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8500 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8501 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8502 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8503 different shared library filenames on each system.
8506 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8509 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8510 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8511 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8513 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8516 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8517 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8518 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8519 binary backward compatibility.
8520 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8521 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8522 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8526 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8527 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8528 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8529 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8533 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8536 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8537 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8538 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8539 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8543 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8546 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8548 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8549 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8550 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8552 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8554 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8556 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8557 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8560 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8562 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8564 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8565 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8567 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8568 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8572 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8573 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8577 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8578 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8579 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8580 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8582 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8583 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8586 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8588 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8589 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8590 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8591 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8594 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8595 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8596 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8597 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8598 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8600 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8601 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8602 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8603 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8604 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8605 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8606 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8607 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8608 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8611 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8613 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8614 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8615 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8616 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8617 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8619 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8620 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8621 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8623 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8625 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8626 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8627 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8628 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8629 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8630 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8633 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8634 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8635 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8636 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8637 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8640 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8641 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8642 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8644 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8645 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8646 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8650 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8651 being properly terminated.
8654 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8655 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8656 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8657 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8659 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8660 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8661 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8662 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8663 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8664 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8665 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8667 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8669 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8670 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8673 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8674 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8675 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8676 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8677 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8678 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8679 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8680 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8682 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8683 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8684 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8685 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8686 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8688 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8689 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8692 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8694 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8695 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8696 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8698 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8700 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8701 and get fix the header length calculation.
8702 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8703 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8706 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8707 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8708 assertions could call abort()).
8709 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8711 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8713 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8714 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8715 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8717 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8719 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8720 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8721 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8724 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8728 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8729 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8730 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8732 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8733 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8734 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8735 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8736 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8740 *) Changes in security patch:
8742 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8743 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8744 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8747 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8748 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8749 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8750 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8751 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8753 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8755 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8757 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8758 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8759 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8761 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8762 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8763 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8765 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8766 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8767 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8769 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8771 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8772 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8773 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8775 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8776 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8778 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8779 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8780 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8781 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8782 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8783 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8786 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8787 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8788 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8789 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8792 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8795 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8796 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8797 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8798 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8799 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8800 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8802 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8803 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8804 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8805 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8806 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8809 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8810 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8811 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8812 BN_generate_prime().)
8814 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8815 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8816 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8820 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8821 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8824 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8825 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8826 when using non-blocking I/O.
8827 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8829 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8830 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8832 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8833 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8836 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8837 configuration for the versions before that.
8838 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8840 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8841 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8842 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8843 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8846 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8847 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8848 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8851 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8855 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8856 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8857 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8859 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8860 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8862 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8863 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8864 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8865 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8866 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8867 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8868 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8871 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8872 using a local variable.
8873 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8875 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8876 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8877 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8879 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8882 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8883 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8885 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8886 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8887 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8889 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8891 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8892 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8893 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8894 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8897 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8901 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8902 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8903 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8904 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8905 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8907 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8908 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8909 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8911 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8912 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8913 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8915 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8916 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8917 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8918 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8920 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8921 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8922 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8924 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8926 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8927 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8929 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8931 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8932 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8933 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8934 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8936 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8937 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8938 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8939 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8941 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8942 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8944 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8945 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8946 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8949 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8950 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8951 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8953 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8955 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8956 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8957 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8958 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8959 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8960 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8961 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8964 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8965 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8966 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8967 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8969 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8970 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8971 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8972 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8973 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8974 the client will at least see that alert.
8977 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8981 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8982 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8983 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8985 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8986 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8987 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8988 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8991 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8992 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8993 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8995 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8996 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8997 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8998 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8999 may leak via logfiles.)
9001 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9002 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9003 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9004 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9008 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9009 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9012 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9013 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9014 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9015 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9016 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9019 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9020 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9022 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9023 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9024 followed by modular reduction.
9025 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9027 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9028 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9031 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9032 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9033 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9034 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9037 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9040 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9041 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9044 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9045 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9046 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9047 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9048 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9049 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9051 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9053 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9054 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9055 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9056 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9057 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9059 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9062 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9063 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9064 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9065 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9066 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9067 to allow the necessary settings.
9070 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9071 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9072 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9073 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9076 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9077 dh->length and always used
9079 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9081 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9082 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9083 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9084 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9085 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9090 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9092 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9098 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9099 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9100 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9101 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9103 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9104 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9105 always reject numbers >= n.
9108 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9109 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9110 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9111 variable) is not atomic.
9114 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9115 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9116 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9117 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9119 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9120 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9122 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9124 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9126 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9129 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9131 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9132 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9133 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9134 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9135 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9136 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9137 to traverse all of 'state'.
9139 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9140 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9141 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9143 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9144 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9146 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9147 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9148 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9149 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9150 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9151 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9152 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9153 further strengthens the PRNG.
9156 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9159 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9160 an error message in this case.
9163 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9166 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9167 positive and less than q.
9170 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9171 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9173 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9175 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9176 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9180 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9182 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9183 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9184 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9185 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9186 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9187 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9188 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9191 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9192 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9193 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9194 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9196 Both problems are now fixed.
9199 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9200 (previously it was 1024).
9203 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9204 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9207 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9210 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9211 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9212 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9215 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9216 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9217 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9218 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9219 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9220 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9221 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9222 environment variables.
9224 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9225 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9226 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9229 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9230 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9231 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9232 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9233 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9234 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9237 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9241 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9243 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9244 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9246 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9247 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9248 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9249 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9253 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9254 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9255 amount of data available.
9256 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9257 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9259 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9260 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9261 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9262 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9265 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9266 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9270 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9271 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9272 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9273 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9276 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9279 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9282 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9283 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9285 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9287 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9288 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9289 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9290 (but broken) behaviour.
9293 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9295 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9297 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9298 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9301 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9305 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9306 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9308 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9311 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9312 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9313 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9315 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9316 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9317 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9320 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9321 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9324 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9325 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9327 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9329 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9331 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9332 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9333 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9334 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9337 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9340 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9341 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9342 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9344 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9347 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9349 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9350 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9351 but the code is actually correct.
9354 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9355 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9356 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9357 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9358 and leaves the highest bit random.
9359 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9361 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9362 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9363 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9364 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9365 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9366 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9367 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9370 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9373 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9374 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9377 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9378 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9379 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9380 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9384 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9385 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9386 and break the signature.
9388 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9390 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9394 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9395 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9396 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9397 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9398 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9401 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9402 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9404 *) ./config script fixes.
9405 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9407 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9410 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9411 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9412 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9413 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9414 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9416 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9417 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9420 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9421 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9424 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9425 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9426 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9427 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9429 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9430 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9432 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9433 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9434 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9435 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9436 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9438 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9441 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9444 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9447 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9450 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9451 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9454 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9455 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9456 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9457 result of the server certificate verification.)
9460 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9461 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9462 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9466 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9467 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9468 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9469 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9470 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9471 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9472 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9473 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9476 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9477 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9478 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9479 happening the other way round.
9482 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9483 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9486 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9487 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9488 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9489 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9492 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9493 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9495 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9497 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9498 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9499 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9502 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9504 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9506 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9510 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9512 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9513 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9514 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9515 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9516 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9518 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9519 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9523 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9526 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9528 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9529 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9530 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9531 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9532 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9533 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9534 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9535 by the Finished messages.
9538 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9539 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9541 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9542 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9543 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9544 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9545 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9549 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9550 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9551 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9552 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9553 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9554 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9555 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9556 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9557 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9561 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9562 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9563 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9564 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9566 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9567 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9568 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9569 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9570 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9573 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9574 been tested well enough.
9577 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9578 it can return incorrect results.
9579 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9580 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9583 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9584 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9585 include zero length content when signing messages.
9588 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9589 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9592 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9595 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9599 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9600 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9601 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9602 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9603 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9604 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9607 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9608 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9610 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9611 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9613 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9614 random number < q in the DSA library.
9617 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9618 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9619 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9620 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9621 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9622 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9623 just makes things more complicated.)
9626 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9630 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9631 work better on such systems.
9632 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9634 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9635 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9636 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9639 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9640 if there was more than one signature.
9641 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9643 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9644 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9645 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9646 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9649 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9650 rather than always using the current time.
9653 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9654 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9655 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9656 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9657 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9658 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9660 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9661 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9663 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9665 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9666 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9667 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9668 the same hash value.
9670 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9671 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9672 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9673 with X509_STORE internally.
9675 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9676 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9678 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9679 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9680 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9681 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9682 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9683 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9684 entirely (maybe later...).
9686 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9688 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9689 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9690 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9691 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9692 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9693 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9694 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9695 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9697 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9698 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9700 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9701 to customise the verify behaviour.
9704 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9705 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9708 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9709 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9710 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9711 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9712 request is improperly encoded.
9715 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9716 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9719 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9720 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9722 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9723 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9727 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9728 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9729 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9732 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9733 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9734 BIO/fp routines also added.
9737 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9738 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9740 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9741 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9742 demos/state_machine.
9745 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9746 generation and verification.
9749 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9750 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9751 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9752 encode and decode it manually.
9755 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9757 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9759 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9760 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9761 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9762 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9764 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9765 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9766 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9767 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9768 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9771 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9774 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9775 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9776 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9778 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9779 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9780 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9781 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9782 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9783 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9784 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9785 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9787 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9788 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9790 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9792 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9793 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9794 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9798 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9799 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9800 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9801 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9805 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9807 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9810 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9811 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9812 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9813 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9814 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9815 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9816 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9817 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9818 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9819 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9820 short or long names are found.
9823 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9824 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9826 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9827 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9828 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9829 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9831 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9832 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9833 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9834 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9837 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9838 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9839 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9842 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9843 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9844 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9845 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9846 to allow the various flags to be set.
9849 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9850 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9851 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9852 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9853 dates to be checked.
9856 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9857 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9858 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9861 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9862 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9863 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9866 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9867 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9870 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9871 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9872 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9873 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9874 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9875 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9878 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9879 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9883 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9887 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9888 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9889 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9890 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9891 form signing output easier to verify.
9894 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9897 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9898 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9899 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9900 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9901 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9902 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9903 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9904 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9905 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9906 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9909 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9911 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9912 the syntax given in objects.README.
9913 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9915 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9918 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9919 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9920 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9921 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9922 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9923 consistent name changes.
9926 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9929 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9930 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9931 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9932 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9935 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9936 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9937 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9941 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9942 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9943 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9944 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9947 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9948 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9949 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9950 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9951 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9952 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9953 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9954 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9955 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9956 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9957 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9960 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9961 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9962 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9963 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9964 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9965 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9966 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9967 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9968 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9969 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9972 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9973 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9974 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9975 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9977 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9978 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9979 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9980 omit any duplicate addresses.
9983 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9984 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9987 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9988 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9989 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9990 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9991 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9994 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9996 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9997 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9998 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9999 Free => OPENSSL_free
10002 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10003 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10006 *) CygWin32 support.
10007 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10009 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10010 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10011 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10012 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10013 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10017 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10018 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10019 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10020 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10021 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10022 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10023 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10026 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10027 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10028 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10029 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10030 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10031 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10032 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10033 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10034 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10035 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10036 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10039 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10040 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10041 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10042 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10043 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10045 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10046 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10047 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10048 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10049 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10051 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10054 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10055 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10056 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10057 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10059 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10061 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10064 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10065 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10066 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10069 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10070 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10071 any installed hardware versions can.
10074 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10075 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10076 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10080 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10081 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10082 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10083 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10084 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10086 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10087 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10090 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10091 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10094 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10095 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10096 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10100 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10103 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10104 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10105 but no ssl client purpose.
10106 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10108 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10109 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10110 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10111 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10112 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10113 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10114 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10115 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10116 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10117 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10118 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10121 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10122 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10123 be obtained from the error queue.
10126 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10127 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10128 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10129 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10132 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10135 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10136 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10137 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10138 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10139 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10142 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10143 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10144 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10145 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10146 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10149 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10150 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10151 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10153 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10155 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10156 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10157 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10158 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10159 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10160 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10161 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10162 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10163 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10164 or "the configuration storage API"...
10166 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10168 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10169 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10171 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10173 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10175 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10176 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10177 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10178 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10179 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10180 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10181 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10183 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10184 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10187 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10188 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10189 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10190 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10193 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10194 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10195 them in a portable way.
10196 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10198 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10200 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10202 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10203 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10205 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10206 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10207 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10208 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10210 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10211 was larger than the MD block size.
10212 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10214 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10215 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10216 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10217 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10221 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10222 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10223 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10225 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10227 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10229 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10230 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10231 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10232 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10233 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10234 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10236 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10237 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10239 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10240 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10243 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10246 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10247 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10249 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10250 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10251 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10252 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10255 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10256 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10257 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10258 does not suppress any output.
10261 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10262 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10263 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10264 with all the associated security issues.
10266 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10267 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10268 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10269 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10270 use the value in the default purpose.
10273 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10274 and fix a memory leak.
10277 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10278 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10279 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10280 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10283 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10284 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10285 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10286 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10289 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10290 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10291 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10294 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10295 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10298 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10299 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10303 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10304 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10307 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10308 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10309 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10312 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10313 number generation fails.
10316 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10319 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10320 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10322 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10325 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10326 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10328 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10329 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10331 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10333 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10334 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10337 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10338 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10340 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10341 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10344 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10345 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10346 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10347 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10348 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10349 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10351 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10352 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10353 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10357 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10358 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10359 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10360 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10361 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10362 counter, some don't.)
10363 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10364 counters or duplicate objects.
10367 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10368 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10371 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10372 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10373 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10375 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10376 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10377 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10381 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10382 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10385 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10386 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10387 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10391 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10392 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10393 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10396 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10397 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10398 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10399 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10400 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10401 should work without changes.
10404 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10405 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10406 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10407 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10408 must be defined. E.g.,
10409 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10410 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10411 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10412 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10414 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10418 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10419 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10420 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10423 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10424 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10425 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10426 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10429 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10430 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10431 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10432 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10433 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10434 is prompted for as usual.
10437 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10438 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10439 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10440 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10442 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10443 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10444 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10445 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10448 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10451 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10455 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10458 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10461 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10465 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10468 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10471 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10472 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10475 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10476 options to produce them.
10479 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10480 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10483 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10487 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10488 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10489 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10490 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10491 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10492 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10493 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10496 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10499 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10500 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10501 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10504 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10505 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10507 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10508 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10511 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10512 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10513 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10517 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10518 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10520 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10521 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10522 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10523 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10524 generation becomes much faster.
10526 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10527 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10528 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10529 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10530 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10531 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10532 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10533 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10534 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10535 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10538 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10539 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10540 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10541 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10542 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10543 trial division stage.
10546 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10550 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10553 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10556 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10557 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10558 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10562 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10563 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10564 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10567 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10568 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10569 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10570 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10572 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10573 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10576 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10579 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10580 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10581 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10582 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10585 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10586 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10587 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10590 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10591 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10592 (instead of parameters) in future.
10595 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10596 when a new cipher list is set.
10599 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10600 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10603 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10604 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10605 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10607 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10608 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10609 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10610 an error is flagged.
10612 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10613 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10614 the readability was also increased :-)
10615 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10617 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10618 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10619 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10620 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10624 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10625 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10628 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10629 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10630 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10631 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10634 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10635 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10636 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10637 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10638 because they handle more complex structures.)
10641 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10642 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10643 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10644 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10646 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10647 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10648 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10649 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10650 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10651 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10652 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10655 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10656 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10657 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10658 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10659 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10662 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10665 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10666 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10667 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10668 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10669 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10672 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10676 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10677 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10678 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10679 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10682 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10685 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10686 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10687 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10688 international characters are used.
10690 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10691 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10692 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10696 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10697 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10698 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10701 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10702 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10703 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10704 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10705 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10706 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10708 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10709 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10710 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10711 be handled by the string table functions.
10713 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10714 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10715 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10716 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10717 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10721 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10722 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10723 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10724 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10725 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10727 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10728 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10729 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10730 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10733 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10734 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10735 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10736 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10737 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10741 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10742 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10743 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10744 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10745 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10746 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10747 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10748 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10750 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10751 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10752 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10755 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10756 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10757 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10758 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10759 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10760 support to pkcs8 application.
10763 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10764 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10765 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10766 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10767 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10768 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10771 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10772 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10773 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10774 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10775 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10779 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10780 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10781 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10782 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10786 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10787 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10788 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10789 and any application specific purposes.
10791 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10792 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10793 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10794 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10795 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10796 if the certificate is self signed.
10799 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10800 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10803 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10804 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10805 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10806 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10809 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10810 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10811 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10812 Update documentation.
10815 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10816 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10817 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10818 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10819 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10822 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10824 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10826 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10827 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10828 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10829 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10830 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10831 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10832 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10833 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10834 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10835 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10837 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10839 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10840 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10841 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10842 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10843 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10845 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10846 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10847 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10848 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10849 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10850 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10851 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10852 request additional information:
10853 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10854 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10856 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10857 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10858 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10861 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10862 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10864 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10865 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10868 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10869 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10871 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10872 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10873 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10877 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10878 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10879 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10881 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10882 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10883 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10884 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10885 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10886 included in OpenSSL.
10889 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10890 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10891 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10892 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10893 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10894 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10897 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10901 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10902 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10903 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10904 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10905 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10909 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10913 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10914 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10915 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10916 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10917 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10918 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10919 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10920 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10921 be maintained manually.
10923 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10924 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10925 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10926 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10927 work because people forget to call this function]
10928 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10929 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10930 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10933 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10934 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10935 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10936 should be discouraged from doing it.
10939 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10940 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10941 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10942 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10943 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10944 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10947 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10948 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10949 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10951 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10952 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10953 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10955 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10956 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10957 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10958 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10959 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10960 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10962 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10963 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10964 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10966 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10967 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10970 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10971 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10972 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10973 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10976 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10979 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10980 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10981 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10982 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10983 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10984 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10985 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10986 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10987 keys so we should be OK.
10989 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10990 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10991 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10992 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10993 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10994 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10995 stay in the name of compatibility.
10997 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10998 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10999 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11001 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11002 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11003 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11004 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11005 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11006 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11010 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11011 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11012 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11013 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11014 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11015 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11016 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11017 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11018 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11019 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11020 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11021 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11022 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11025 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11028 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11029 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11030 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11031 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11032 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11033 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11034 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11035 openssl verify ss.pem
11036 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11037 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11041 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11042 (and add it to external session representation).
11043 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11044 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11045 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11046 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11047 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11048 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11050 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11052 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11053 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11054 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11055 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11057 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11058 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11059 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11062 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11063 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11064 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11068 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11069 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11070 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11072 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11073 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11074 certificate auxiliary information.
11077 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11081 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11082 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11083 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11084 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11085 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11086 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11087 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11090 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11091 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11094 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11095 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11096 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11097 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11100 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11103 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11104 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11107 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11108 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11109 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11110 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11111 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11112 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11113 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11114 using the new 'x509' options.
11116 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11117 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11118 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11119 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11123 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11124 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11125 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11126 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11127 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11130 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11131 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11132 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11133 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11134 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11135 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11136 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11137 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11138 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11139 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11142 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11143 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11144 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11145 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11146 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11147 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11148 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11151 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11152 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11153 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11154 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11155 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11156 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11157 openssl.cnf for more info.
11160 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11161 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11162 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11163 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11164 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11165 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11166 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11167 md should be large enough anyway.
11170 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11171 for handling the random seed file.
11173 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11175 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11178 x509 (when signing).
11179 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11180 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11181 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11183 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11184 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11185 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11186 that support '-rand'.
11189 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11190 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11193 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11194 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11197 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11198 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11199 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11200 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11204 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11205 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11206 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11207 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11210 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11211 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11212 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11213 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11214 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11215 print out all the purposes.
11218 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11222 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11223 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11224 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11225 single function call.
11228 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11229 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11232 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11233 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11234 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11237 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11238 when producing the local key id.
11239 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11241 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11242 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11243 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11247 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11248 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11249 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11250 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11253 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11254 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11255 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11256 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11258 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11259 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11260 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11261 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11263 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11264 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11265 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11266 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11267 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11268 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11269 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11270 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11271 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11272 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11273 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11274 trivial: move one line.
11275 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11277 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11278 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11279 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11280 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11281 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11282 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11283 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11284 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11285 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11286 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11287 with an event loop for example.
11290 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11291 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11292 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11293 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11294 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11295 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11296 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11297 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11298 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11301 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11302 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11303 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11304 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11305 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11306 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11309 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11310 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11311 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11312 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11314 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11315 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11316 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11317 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11321 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11322 (still largely untested)
11325 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11326 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11329 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11330 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11333 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11334 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11335 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11338 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11339 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11340 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11341 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11342 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11345 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11348 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11349 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11350 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11351 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11352 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11356 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11357 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11360 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11363 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11364 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11365 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11366 are otherwise ignored at present.
11369 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11370 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11371 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11372 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11373 copied until the next read.
11376 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11377 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11378 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11381 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11382 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11383 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11384 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11385 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11386 associated functions.
11389 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11390 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11391 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11392 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11393 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11394 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11395 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11396 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11397 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11401 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11402 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11403 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11404 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11407 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11408 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11409 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11410 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11411 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11415 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11416 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11420 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11421 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11422 extensions to be obtained and added.
11425 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11426 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11429 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11431 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11432 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11434 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11435 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11437 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11441 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11442 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11443 DH parameters contain its length).
11445 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11446 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11447 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11448 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11449 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11450 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11451 utter importance to use
11452 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11454 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11455 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11456 attacks may become possible!
11459 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11462 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11463 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11466 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11467 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11468 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11472 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11473 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11474 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11475 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11476 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11477 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11478 private key operations.
11481 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11484 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11485 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11487 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11488 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11489 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11490 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11491 the password callback is called.
11492 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11494 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11496 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11497 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11498 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11499 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11500 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11501 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11504 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11505 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11506 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11507 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11508 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11509 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11512 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11515 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11516 delete an unused file.
11519 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11520 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11521 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11522 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11525 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11526 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11527 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11531 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11532 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11533 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11535 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11536 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11537 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11538 comparison" warnings.
11539 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11542 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11543 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11544 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11547 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11548 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11550 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11551 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11553 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11554 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11555 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11557 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11558 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11559 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11560 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11561 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11563 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11565 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11566 The interface is as follows:
11567 Applications can use
11568 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11569 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11570 "off" is now the default.
11571 The library internally uses
11572 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11573 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11574 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11576 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11577 even the default) are now avoided.
11579 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11580 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11581 than just having a counter.
11583 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11585 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11589 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11590 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11591 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11592 Initial "mode" flags are:
11594 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11595 a single record has been written.
11596 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11597 retries use the same buffer location.
11598 (But all of the contents must be
11602 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11605 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11606 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11608 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11609 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11610 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11613 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11614 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11616 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11618 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11619 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11620 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11621 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11623 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11624 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11626 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11627 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11628 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11629 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11630 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11631 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11634 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11635 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11636 necessary function names.
11639 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11640 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11641 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11642 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11645 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11646 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11647 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11650 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11651 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11652 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11653 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11655 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11659 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11660 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11661 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11664 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11665 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11669 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11670 for the encoded length.
11671 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11673 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11676 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11677 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11678 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11679 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11682 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11683 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11684 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11686 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11687 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11688 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11689 unusual formatting.
11692 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11693 to use the new extension code.
11696 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11697 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11698 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11702 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11703 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11704 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11708 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11711 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11712 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11713 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11716 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11717 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11718 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11719 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11722 *) DES library cleanups.
11725 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11726 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11727 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11728 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11729 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11733 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11734 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11737 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11738 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11739 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11740 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11741 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11742 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11743 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11744 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11745 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11748 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11749 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11750 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11751 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11752 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11753 value doesn't matter.
11756 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11760 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11761 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11762 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11763 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11765 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11768 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11769 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11770 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11772 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11773 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11775 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11778 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11781 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11784 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11788 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11790 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11792 *) Updated some demos.
11793 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11795 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11798 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11801 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11804 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11805 instead of using a fixed path.
11808 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11811 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11815 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11817 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11818 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11819 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11821 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11822 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11823 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11824 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11825 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11826 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11827 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11828 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11829 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11830 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11833 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11834 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11837 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11838 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11839 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11840 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11841 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11843 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11846 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11847 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11848 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11851 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11854 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11855 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11856 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11857 key elements as negative integers.
11860 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11861 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11864 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11866 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11867 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11868 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11871 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11872 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11873 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11874 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11875 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11878 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11881 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11882 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11883 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11884 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11886 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11887 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11888 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11890 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11891 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11892 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11893 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11894 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11895 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11896 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11897 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11898 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11900 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11901 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11902 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11903 does not influence s as it used to.
11905 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11906 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11907 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11908 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11909 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11910 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11913 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11914 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11915 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11919 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11920 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11921 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11925 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11926 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11927 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11931 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11932 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11935 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11936 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11938 *) Support Mingw32.
11941 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11942 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11944 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11945 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11947 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11950 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11953 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11954 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11956 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11957 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11958 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11962 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11963 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11964 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11965 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11966 now it really counts the depth.
11969 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11970 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11971 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11972 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11973 didn't match the private key).
11975 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11976 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11977 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11980 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11983 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11987 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11988 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11989 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11992 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11995 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11996 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11997 such as /usr/local/bin.
12000 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12001 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12003 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12006 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12007 extension adding in x509 utility.
12010 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12013 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12017 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12020 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12021 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12022 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12023 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12024 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12025 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12026 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12027 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12028 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12029 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12032 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12035 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12036 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12039 *) Fix some race conditions.
12042 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12043 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12046 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12049 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12050 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12051 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12052 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12054 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12055 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12057 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12058 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12059 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12061 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12062 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12064 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12067 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12068 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12070 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12073 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12074 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12076 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12077 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12080 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12081 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12084 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12085 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12088 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12089 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12092 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12093 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12096 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12097 support typesafe stack.
12100 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12101 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12103 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12104 old X509V3 handling code.
12107 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12110 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12113 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12116 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12117 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12119 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12120 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12121 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12122 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12123 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12126 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12127 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12128 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12129 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12130 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12132 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12133 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12134 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12135 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12137 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12138 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12139 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12140 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12142 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12143 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12144 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12145 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12146 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12147 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12150 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12151 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12154 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12155 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12158 *) Tweaks to Configure
12159 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12161 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12165 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12168 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12169 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12172 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12173 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12174 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12177 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12180 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12181 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12184 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12185 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12186 to library startup routines.
12189 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12190 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12191 codes along the way.
12194 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12195 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12196 objects to objects.h
12199 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12200 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12203 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12204 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12206 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12207 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12208 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12210 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12211 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12212 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12214 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12215 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12216 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12219 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12221 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12222 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12225 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12226 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12227 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12228 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12229 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12231 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12232 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12233 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12235 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12237 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12239 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12241 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12242 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12244 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12245 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12246 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12247 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12249 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12252 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12253 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12254 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12255 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12258 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12259 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12260 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12263 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12264 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12265 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12266 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12267 installed as `perl').
12268 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12270 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12271 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12273 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12274 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12275 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12276 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12277 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12280 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12283 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12284 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12285 is horrible: I feel ill....
12288 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12289 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12290 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12291 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12294 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12295 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12297 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12298 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12299 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12300 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12302 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12303 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12304 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12305 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12306 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12307 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12309 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12311 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12312 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12314 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12315 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12317 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12320 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12321 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12325 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12326 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12327 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12328 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12329 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12330 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12331 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12332 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12333 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12334 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12335 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12337 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12340 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12341 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12342 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12343 for linking it into DSOs.
12344 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12346 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12350 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12351 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12352 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12353 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12354 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12355 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12357 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12358 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12359 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12360 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12361 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12362 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12363 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12365 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12366 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12367 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12371 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12372 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12373 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12374 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12377 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12378 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12379 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12380 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12381 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12385 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12386 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12387 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12388 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12389 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12391 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12392 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12393 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12395 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12396 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12398 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12399 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12400 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12401 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12402 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12405 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12406 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12407 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12408 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12409 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12410 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12411 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12414 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12416 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12417 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12420 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12421 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12423 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12424 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12427 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12428 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12429 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12430 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12431 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12433 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12434 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12435 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12436 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12437 no way to reconfigure them.
12438 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12439 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12440 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12441 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12442 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12443 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12445 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12446 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12447 recognized by the users.
12448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12450 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12451 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12452 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12453 already masked variable.
12454 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12456 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12457 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12459 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12460 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12461 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12462 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12464 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12465 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12466 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12468 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12469 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12470 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12471 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12472 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12473 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12474 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12475 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12477 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12479 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12480 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12481 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12483 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12484 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12488 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12489 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12491 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12492 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12493 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12494 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12497 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12500 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12501 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12503 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12506 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12507 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12510 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12511 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12514 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12515 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12516 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12517 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12518 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12519 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12520 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12523 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12524 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12526 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12527 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12528 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12529 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12530 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12532 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12533 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12534 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12537 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12538 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12542 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12543 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12544 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12546 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12547 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12548 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12549 build instructions.
12552 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12553 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12554 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12555 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12558 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12559 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12560 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12561 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12564 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12565 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12566 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12567 so it wasn't spotted.
12568 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12570 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12571 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12572 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12573 vectors if you have them.
12576 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12577 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12580 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12581 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12582 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12583 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12585 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12586 it will update them.
12589 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12590 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12591 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12592 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12593 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12594 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12595 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12598 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12599 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12600 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12601 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12602 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12603 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12604 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12605 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12606 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12607 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12609 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12610 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12611 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12612 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12613 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12616 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12620 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12621 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12623 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12624 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12626 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12627 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12630 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12631 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12633 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12634 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12636 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12639 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12643 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12644 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12645 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12646 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12648 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12651 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12654 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12657 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12658 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12661 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12662 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12666 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12667 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12670 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12671 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12672 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12675 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12676 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12677 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12678 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12679 properly to be processed.
12682 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12683 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12684 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12687 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12688 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12690 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12691 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12692 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12693 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12694 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12695 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12696 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12697 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12698 or delete all the .err files.
12701 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12702 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12703 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12704 to regenerate it if needed.
12705 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12706 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12708 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12709 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12711 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12712 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12713 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12714 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12715 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12718 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12719 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12721 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12722 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12724 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12725 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12726 error, but didn't set one).
12727 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12729 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12732 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12733 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12736 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12737 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12739 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12740 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12741 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12742 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12743 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12744 OID is not part of the table.
12747 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12748 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12751 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12754 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12755 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12759 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12760 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12762 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12764 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12766 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12767 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12769 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12770 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12772 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12773 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12775 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12776 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12779 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12780 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12783 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12784 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12786 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12787 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12789 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12790 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12792 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12793 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12795 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12796 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12797 unused in the certificate verification process.
12798 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12800 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12801 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12804 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12805 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12806 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12808 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12809 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12810 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12811 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12812 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12814 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12815 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12818 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12821 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12824 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12825 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12827 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12830 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12833 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12836 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12837 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12838 other error libraries.
12841 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12844 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12845 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12849 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12850 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12851 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12852 the new set of documentation files.
12853 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12855 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12856 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12857 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12858 number of arguments.
12859 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12861 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12864 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12865 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12866 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12868 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12871 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12875 unixware-2.0-pentium
12879 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12880 before they are needed.
12883 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12887 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12889 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12890 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12891 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12893 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12896 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12897 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12898 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12900 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12901 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12902 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12904 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12905 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12906 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12908 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12909 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12911 *) Updated the README file.
12912 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12914 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12915 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12916 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12918 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12919 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12920 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12922 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12923 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12924 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12925 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12926 o removed obsolete TODO file
12927 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12930 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12931 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12932 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

12935 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12936 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12938 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12941 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12942 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12943 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12945 [The OpenSSL Project]
12948 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
12950 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
12953 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12956 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12957 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12960 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12961 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12965 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12967 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12969 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12972 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
12975 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
12978 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
12981 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
12984 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
12987 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
12990 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
12993 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
12996 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12999 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13002 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13005 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13008 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13011 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13014 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13017 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13020 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13021 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13022 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13025 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13026 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13029 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13032 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13035 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
13036 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13039 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
13042 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
13045 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
