5 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add perl scripts to calculate FIPS signatures for Windows
8 exectuables including WinCE.
11 *) Don't attempt to insert current time into AES/3DES tests, we should
12 be just copying input line across and this breaks some systems lacking
16 *) Update Windows build system for FIPS. Don't compile algorithm test
17 utilties by default: the target build_tests is needed for that. Add
18 support for building fips_algvs with the build_algvs target.
21 *) Add initial cross compilation support for Windows build. The following
22 environment variables should be set:
24 FIPS_SHA1_PATH: path to fips_standalone_sha1 exectutable which will
25 be used explicitly and not built.
26 FIPS_SIG: similar to other builds: path to a "get signature" script
27 which is used to obtain the signature of the target instead of
28 executing it on the host.
31 *) Add flag to EC_KEY to use cofactor ECDH if set.
34 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
35 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
39 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
40 sign or verify all in one operation.
43 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
44 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
45 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
48 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
51 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
54 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
55 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
56 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
57 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
58 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
61 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
65 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
66 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
67 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
70 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
71 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
74 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
77 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
78 POST to handle HMAC cases.
81 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
82 to return numberical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
85 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
86 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implmeneted
87 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
90 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
91 there is no mutiple of the block length between min_len and
92 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
93 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
94 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
95 requested amount of entropy.
98 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
99 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
102 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
103 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
104 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
108 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
109 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
110 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
113 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
114 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
115 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
116 will never use XTS mode.
119 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
120 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
121 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
122 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
123 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
124 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
127 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
128 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
129 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
130 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
133 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
134 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
135 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
138 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
141 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
144 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
145 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
148 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
149 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
152 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
153 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
156 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
157 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
158 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
159 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
160 and rename any affected symbols.
163 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
164 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
167 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
168 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
169 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
172 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
175 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
176 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
177 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
180 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
181 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
184 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
185 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
186 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
187 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
188 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
189 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
193 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
194 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
195 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
196 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
197 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
198 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
199 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
200 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
203 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
204 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
207 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
209 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
210 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
212 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
213 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
214 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
215 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
216 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
217 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
219 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
220 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
221 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
223 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
225 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
226 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
227 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
229 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
231 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
232 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
233 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
236 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
237 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
240 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
241 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
242 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
243 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
246 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
250 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
251 Add CMAC pkey methods.
254 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
255 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
256 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
259 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
260 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
261 multi-process servers.
264 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
265 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
266 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
267 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
268 RAND_METHOD structure.
271 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
272 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
273 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
274 whose return value is often ignored.
277 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
279 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
280 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
281 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
282 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
283 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
285 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
286 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
287 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
289 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
290 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
291 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
293 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
294 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
296 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
298 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
299 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
300 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
303 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
304 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
308 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
309 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
310 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
313 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
314 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
315 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
316 the appropriate parameters.
319 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
320 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
321 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
322 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
323 against a number of sample certificates.
326 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
327 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
329 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
330 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
332 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
333 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
337 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
341 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
342 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
343 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
347 *) Session-handling fixes:
348 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
349 but also support Session Tickets.
350 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
351 presented a ticket with an expired session.
352 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
353 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
354 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
355 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
357 *) Fix PSK session representation.
360 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
362 This work was sponsored by Intel.
365 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
366 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
367 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
368 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
369 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
372 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
373 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
376 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
377 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
378 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
381 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
382 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
383 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
384 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
387 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
388 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
389 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
392 *) Add -attime option to openssl verify.
393 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org> and Ben Laurie]
395 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
398 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
399 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
402 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
405 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
406 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
409 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
410 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
413 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
416 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
417 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
418 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
421 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
424 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
427 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
428 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
431 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
432 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
433 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
436 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
439 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
443 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
444 FIPS modules versions.
447 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
448 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
449 until after the certificate request message is received.
452 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
453 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
454 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
455 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
458 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
459 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
460 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
461 support yet and no support for client certificates.
464 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
465 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
466 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
467 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
468 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
469 and version checking.
472 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
473 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
474 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
475 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
479 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
481 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
484 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
485 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
486 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
488 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
489 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
490 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
493 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
494 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
496 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
497 a few changes are required:
499 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
501 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
502 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
503 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
506 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [xx XXX xxxx]
508 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
509 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
510 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
512 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
513 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
514 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
515 the last update always remained unused).
516 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
518 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
519 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
521 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
523 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
524 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
525 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
527 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
528 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
529 [Adam Langley (Google)]
531 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
534 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
535 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
536 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
539 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
540 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
542 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
544 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
546 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
548 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
549 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
551 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
552 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
556 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
558 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
559 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
560 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
563 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
564 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
565 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
568 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
570 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
571 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
572 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
575 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
579 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
581 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
583 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
585 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
587 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
588 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
589 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
592 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
595 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
596 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
597 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
599 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
600 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
601 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
604 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
605 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
608 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
609 some responders need this.
612 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
614 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
616 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
617 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
618 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
621 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
624 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
625 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
626 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
627 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
628 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
629 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
630 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
631 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
634 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
635 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
636 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
637 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
639 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
640 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
642 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
646 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
647 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
648 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
649 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
650 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
651 attempting to work them out.
654 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
655 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
656 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
657 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
660 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
661 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
662 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
663 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
664 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
667 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
668 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
675 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
677 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
681 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
682 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
684 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
685 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
687 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
688 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
689 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
690 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
691 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
694 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
695 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
696 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
699 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
700 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
703 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
704 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
706 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
707 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
710 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
713 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
714 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
715 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
719 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
720 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
721 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
722 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
723 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
724 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
727 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
728 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
730 This work was sponsored by Google.
733 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
734 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
735 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
736 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
737 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
738 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
739 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
742 This work was sponsored by Google.
745 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
747 This work was sponsored by Google.
750 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
751 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
752 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
753 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
755 This work was sponsored by Google.
758 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
759 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
760 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
761 CRL functionality in future.
763 This work was sponsored by Google.
766 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
768 This work was sponsored by Google.
771 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
772 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
774 This work was sponsored by Google.
777 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
778 and URI types are currently supported.
780 This work was sponsored by Google.
783 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
784 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
785 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
786 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
787 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
788 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
789 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
790 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
792 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
793 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
794 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
796 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
797 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
798 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
799 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
801 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
802 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
803 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
804 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
805 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
806 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
807 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
808 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
810 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
812 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
813 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
814 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
816 This work was sponsored by Google.
819 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
822 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
823 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
824 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
827 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
828 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
831 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
832 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
835 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
836 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
837 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
838 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
839 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
840 content types and variants.
843 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
846 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
847 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
848 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
849 files from the associated perl scripts.
852 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
853 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
854 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
856 *) s390x assembler pack.
859 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
863 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
864 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
865 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
866 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
867 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
868 to use. For example, specify an option
870 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
872 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
873 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
874 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
875 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
876 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
877 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
879 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
880 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
881 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
882 return non-zero for success.
884 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
887 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
888 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
892 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
895 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
896 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
897 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
898 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
899 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
900 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
901 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
902 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
903 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
905 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
906 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
907 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
908 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
909 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
910 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
912 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
913 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
914 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
915 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
916 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
917 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
921 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
924 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
926 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
927 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
928 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
931 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
932 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
935 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
936 protection in servers so again support should be possible
937 with no application modification.
939 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
940 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
942 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
943 or server extensions to be examined.
945 This work was sponsored by Google.
948 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
949 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
950 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
952 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
953 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
955 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
957 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
958 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
959 to output in BER and PEM format.
962 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
963 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
964 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
965 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
966 -macopt options to dgst utility.
969 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
970 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
971 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
975 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
976 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
977 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
978 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
979 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
980 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
981 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
982 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
985 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
986 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
987 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
988 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
990 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
991 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
992 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
996 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
997 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
998 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
999 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1000 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1001 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1002 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1003 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1004 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1006 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1007 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1008 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1009 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1010 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1011 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1012 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1013 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1014 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1015 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1016 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1019 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1020 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1021 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1023 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1024 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1028 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1029 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1030 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1033 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1034 it yet and it is largely untested.
1037 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1040 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1041 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1042 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1045 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1048 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1049 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1050 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1051 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1054 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1055 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1056 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1057 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1058 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1061 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1062 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1065 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1066 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1067 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1068 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1071 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1072 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1073 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1074 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1077 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1078 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1081 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1082 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1083 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1084 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1087 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1088 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1089 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1092 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1096 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1097 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1100 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1101 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1102 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1106 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1107 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1108 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1111 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1112 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1113 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1114 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1117 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1118 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1119 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1120 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1121 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1122 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1125 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1126 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1127 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1128 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1129 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1131 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1132 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1133 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1134 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1135 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1138 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1139 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1140 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1141 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1143 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1144 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1145 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1146 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1147 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1153 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1154 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1158 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1159 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1162 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1163 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1166 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1167 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1168 functional reference processing.
1171 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1172 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1176 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1177 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1178 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1181 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1182 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1183 application to support multiple signers.
1186 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1190 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1191 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1192 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1193 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1194 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1197 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1201 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1202 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1203 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1204 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1208 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1209 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1210 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1211 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1212 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1213 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1214 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1215 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1218 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1219 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1220 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1221 between digests and public key types.
1224 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1225 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1226 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1227 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1230 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1231 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1235 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1238 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1242 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1243 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1244 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1245 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1250 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1252 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1254 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1256 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1257 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1258 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1259 functionality for RSA.
1262 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1263 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1264 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1267 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1268 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1271 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1272 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1273 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1276 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1277 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1280 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1281 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1284 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1285 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1289 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1290 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1291 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1295 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1296 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1297 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1298 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1299 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1300 of public and private key structures.
1303 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1304 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1307 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members

1321 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1323 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1324 and response verification functionality.
1325 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1327 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1328 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1329 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1330 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1331 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1332 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1333 server_name extension.
1335 New functions (subject to change):
1337 SSL_get_servername()
1338 SSL_get_servername_type()
1341 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1343 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1344 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1345 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1346 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1347 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1349 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1351 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1352 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1353 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1354 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1355 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1356 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1359 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1361 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1364 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1365 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1366 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1367 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1368 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1371 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1372 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1376 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1377 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1378 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1379 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1382 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1383 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1384 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1385 using the maximum available value.
1388 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1389 in addition to the text details.
1392 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1393 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1394 handle several customised structures at all.
1397 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1398 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1399 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1402 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1405 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1406 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1407 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1410 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1411 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1412 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1415 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1416 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1420 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1423 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1426 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [xx XXX xxxx]
1428 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1429 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1430 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1432 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1433 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1434 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1435 the last update always remained unused).
1436 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1438 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1439 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1440 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1442 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1445 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1446 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1448 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf

1457 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1458 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1462 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1464 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1465 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1466 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1469 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1470 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1471 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1474 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1476 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1477 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1478 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1481 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1484 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1485 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1486 some broken encodings work correctly.
1489 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1490 is also one of the inputs.
1491 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1493 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1494 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1495 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1499 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1501 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1504 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1505 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1506 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1508 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1509 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1510 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1514 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com

1517 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
1519 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1521 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1522 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1523 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1524 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1525 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1526 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1527 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1528 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1530 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1531 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1532 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1534 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1536 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1537 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1539 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1540 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1543 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1544 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1545 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1548 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1549 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1550 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1551 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1552 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1553 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1556 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1557 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1558 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1561 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1562 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1563 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1564 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1565 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1566 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1570 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1571 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1574 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1575 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1576 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1579 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1582 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1583 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1584 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1585 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1586 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1587 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1588 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1589 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1590 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1593 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1594 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1595 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1598 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1599 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1602 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1603 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1604 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1605 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1606 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1607 know what you are doing.
1608 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1610 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1611 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1612 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1613 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1614 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1615 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1619 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1620 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1621 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1623 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1625 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1626 warnings in other configurations.
1629 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1630 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1631 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1633 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1635 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1636 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1637 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1639 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1640 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1641 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1642 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1645 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1649 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1650 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1652 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1654 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1655 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1656 other than a simple chain.
1657 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1659 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1660 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1661 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1662 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1665 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1666 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1667 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1668 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1669 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1670 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1671 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1672 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1673 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1675 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1676 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1677 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1678 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1679 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1680 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1682 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1684 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1685 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1688 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1689 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1692 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1694 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1696 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1697 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1698 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1699 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1700 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1704 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1706 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1707 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1708 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1709 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1711 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1712 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1713 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1714 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1716 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1717 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1718 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1721 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1722 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1726 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1727 to handle some structures.
1730 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1732 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1734 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1737 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1740 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1743 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1744 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1748 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1750 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1752 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1754 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1757 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1758 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1759 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1760 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1762 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1763 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1765 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1766 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1769 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1770 s_client and s_server.
1773 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1774 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1776 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1777 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1779 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1780 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1781 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1782 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1783 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1786 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1788 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1789 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1792 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1793 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1796 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1797 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1798 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1799 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1801 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1802 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1804 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1806 *) Various precautionary measures:
1808 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1810 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1811 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1812 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1814 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1815 outside the expected range.
1817 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1820 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1822 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1823 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1824 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1826 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1829 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1832 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1834 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1837 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1838 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1839 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1841 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1844 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1845 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1846 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1850 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1852 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1853 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1854 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1855 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1857 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1858 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1861 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1863 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1864 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1865 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1867 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1869 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1870 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1871 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1872 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1875 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1876 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1877 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1878 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1879 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1880 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1881 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1883 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1885 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1886 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1887 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1888 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1889 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1891 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1892 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1894 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1895 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1896 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1897 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1898 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1900 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1902 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1903 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1904 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1905 sets may exist with different names.
1908 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1909 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1910 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1911 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1912 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1913 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1914 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1915 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1916 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1918 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1920 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1921 implemention in the following ways:
1923 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1926 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1927 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1928 ignored for embedded content.
1930 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1931 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1934 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1935 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1936 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1937 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1939 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1940 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1943 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1944 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1947 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1948 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1949 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1950 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1951 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1952 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1956 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1957 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1958 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1962 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets

1964 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1965 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1966 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1967 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,

1977 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1979 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1980 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1981 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1982 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1983 to s_client and s_server.
1986 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1988 *) Fix various bugs:
1989 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1990 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1991 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1992 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1993 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1995 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1997 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1998 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1999 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2000 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2001 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2002 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2003 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2004 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2007 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2008 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2009 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2012 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2013 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2014 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2017 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2018 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2021 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2022 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2023 with no application modification.
2025 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2026 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2028 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2029 or server extensions to be examined.
2031 This work was sponsored by Google.
2034 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2035 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2036 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2037 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2038 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2039 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2040 server_name extension.
2042 New functions (subject to change):
2044 SSL_get_servername()
2045 SSL_get_servername_type()
2048 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2050 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2051 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2052 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2053 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2054 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2056 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2058 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2059 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2060 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2061 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2062 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2063 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2066 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2068 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2071 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2074 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2075 (which previously caused an internal error).
2078 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2081 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2082 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2084 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2085 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2086 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2088 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2089 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2090 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2091 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2093 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2094 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2095 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2096 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2098 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2099 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2100 information. For detailed background information, see
2101 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2102 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2103 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2104 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2105 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2106 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2107 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2108 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2109 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2110 remove a conditional branch.
2112 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2113 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2114 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2115 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2116 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2117 remains as a deprecated alias.
2119 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2120 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2121 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2122 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2124 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2125 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2126 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2127 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2128 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2129 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2130 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2131 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2133 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2135 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2136 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2137 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2138 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2139 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2140 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2141 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2142 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2143 in a different context.
2146 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2147 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2148 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2151 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2152 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2153 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2155 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2157 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2158 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2159 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2160 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2161 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2164 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2165 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2166 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2167 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2168 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2169 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2172 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2173 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2174 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2175 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2176 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2179 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2180 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2182 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2183 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2184 Improve header file function name parsing.
2187 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2188 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2191 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2193 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2194 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2195 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2197 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2198 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2200 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2201 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2203 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2204 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2205 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2207 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2208 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2209 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2210 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2211 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2212 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2213 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2214 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2215 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2217 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2218 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2219 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2220 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2221 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2223 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2224 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2225 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2226 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2227 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2228 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2229 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2230 multiple values to extend the available space.
2234 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2236 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2237 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2239 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2242 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2243 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2244 undesirable limitations.
2245 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2247 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2248 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2249 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2250 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2251 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2252 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2253 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2256 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2258 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2259 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2260 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2262 The latter two were purportedly from
2263 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2266 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2267 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2268 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2271 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2272 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2275 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2276 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2277 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2278 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2280 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2281 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2282 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2285 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2286 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2287 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2288 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2289 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2290 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2293 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2295 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2296 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2299 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2300 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2302 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2303 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2304 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2305 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2308 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2309 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2312 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2313 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2314 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2315 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2316 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2317 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2318 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2322 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2323 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2324 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2325 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2328 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2329 under VC++ build system.
2332 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2333 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2336 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2338 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2339 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2340 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2341 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2342 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2344 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2345 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2346 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2348 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2351 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2352 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2355 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2356 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2358 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2361 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2362 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2364 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2365 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2368 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2369 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2373 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2375 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2378 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2381 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2382 key into the same file any more.
2385 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2388 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2389 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2391 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2392 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2395 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2396 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2397 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2398 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2399 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2400 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2402 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2403 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2404 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2407 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2408 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2409 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2410 - add new function for parameter creation
2411 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2412 BN_BLINDING parameters
2413 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2414 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2415 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2419 *) Add support for DTLS.
2420 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2422 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2423 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2426 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2427 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2430 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2431 the apps/openssl applications.
2434 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2435 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2436 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2439 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2440 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2442 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2443 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2445 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2446 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2447 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2448 avoid this algorithm.)
2452 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2453 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2454 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2457 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2458 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2461 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2462 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2463 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2466 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2468 The blank line is mandatory.
2472 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2473 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2477 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2478 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2480 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2481 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2482 to support policy checking and print out.
2485 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2486 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2487 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2488 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2490 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2493 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2494 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2496 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2497 implementation contributed by IBM.
2498 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2500 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2501 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2502 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2503 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2505 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2506 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2508 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2509 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2510 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2511 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2512 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2513 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2516 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2517 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2518 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2519 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2520 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2521 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2522 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2525 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2528 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2529 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2530 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2531 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2532 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2533 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2534 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2535 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2538 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2539 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2540 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2541 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2544 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2547 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2550 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2551 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2552 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2553 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2554 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2555 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2556 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2559 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2560 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2563 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2564 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2565 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2568 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2569 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2570 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2574 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2575 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2578 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2579 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2580 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2581 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2584 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2585 initialised value as BN_new().
2586 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2588 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2591 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2592 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2593 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2594 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2595 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2596 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2597 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2598 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2599 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2600 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2601 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2602 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2603 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2604 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2605 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2607 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2608 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2609 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2610 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2613 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2614 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2615 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2616 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2617 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2618 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2619 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2620 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2621 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2624 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2625 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2626 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2627 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2628 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2629 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2630 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2633 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2634 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2635 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2636 these have been updated also.
2639 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2640 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2641 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2642 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2643 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2647 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2648 structure of type "other".
2651 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2652 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2653 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2654 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2655 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2656 situation in the script.
2657 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2659 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2660 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2661 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2662 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2663 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2664 used as premaster secret.
2665 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2667 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2668 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2669 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2671 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2672 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2674 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2675 control of the error stack.
2678 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2681 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2682 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2683 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2684 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2687 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2688 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2689 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2692 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2693 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2694 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2698 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2699 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2700 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2701 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2704 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2705 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2706 the following flags are defined:
2708 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2709 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2710 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2713 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2714 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2715 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2716 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2720 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2721 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2722 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2723 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2724 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2727 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2728 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2729 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2732 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2733 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2734 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2735 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2736 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2737 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2740 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2744 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2747 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2750 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2753 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2754 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2755 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2756 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2757 default implementation more easily.
2760 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2764 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2765 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2768 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2769 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2770 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2771 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2773 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2774 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2775 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2776 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2779 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2780 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2784 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2785 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2786 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2787 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2788 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2789 scalar * generator).
2790 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2792 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2793 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2794 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2798 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2799 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2800 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2801 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2802 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2803 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2804 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2805 linker additions, eg;
2806 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2809 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2810 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2811 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2814 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2815 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2816 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2820 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2821 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2822 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2823 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2826 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2827 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2828 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2829 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2830 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2831 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2832 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2833 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2834 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2835 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2837 Example for using the new callback interface:
2839 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2843 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2845 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2846 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2847 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2848 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2849 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2850 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2855 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2856 available to TLS with the number defined in
2857 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2860 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2861 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2863 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2864 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2865 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2866 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2868 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2869 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2871 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2872 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2876 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2877 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2880 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2881 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2882 and a macro that behave like
2883 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2885 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2888 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2889 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2890 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2892 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2894 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2897 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2898 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2899 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2900 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2902 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2903 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2904 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2905 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2906 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2907 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2908 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2909 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2911 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2912 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2915 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2916 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2918 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2919 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2920 files while avoiding the low level API.
2922 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2923 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2924 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2925 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2927 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2928 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2929 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2930 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2931 instead of the low level API.
2934 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2935 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2936 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2937 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2938 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2941 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2942 down to the template encoder.
2945 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2946 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2949 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2950 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2951 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2952 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2954 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2955 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2957 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2958 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2960 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2961 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2964 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2965 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2966 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2969 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2970 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2972 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2973 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2975 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2976 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2979 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2983 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2984 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2985 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2986 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2987 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2988 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2990 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2991 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2994 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2995 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2996 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2997 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2998 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2999 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3000 various internal method names.)
3002 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3003 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3005 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3006 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3008 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3009 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3011 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3012 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3013 methods are undefined.
3015 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3016 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3018 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3019 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3020 length of the modulus.
3022 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3023 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3025 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3026 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3028 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3029 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3031 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3032 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3033 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3036 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3037 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3038 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3039 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3041 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3042 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3043 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3044 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3046 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3047 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3049 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3050 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3051 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3052 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3053 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3055 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3056 This applies to the following functions:
3061 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3062 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3064 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3065 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3069 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3074 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3076 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3077 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3078 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3079 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3080 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3082 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3083 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3085 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3086 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3087 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3089 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3090 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3092 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3093 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3094 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3095 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3096 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3098 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3100 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3101 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3102 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3103 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3104 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3105 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3106 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3107 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3108 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3109 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3110 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3111 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3113 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3116 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3117 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3118 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3119 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3121 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3122 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3123 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3124 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3129 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3130 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3131 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3132 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3133 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3135 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3136 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3137 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3138 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3139 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3140 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3141 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3142 adding different types of curves.
3143 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3145 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3146 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3147 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3150 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3151 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3153 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3154 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3155 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3156 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3158 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3160 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3161 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3163 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3164 library. Most notably,
3165 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3166 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3167 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3168 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3169 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3170 extracted before the specific public key;
3171 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3172 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3174 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3175 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3177 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3178 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3179 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3180 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3182 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3183 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3184 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3186 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3187 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3188 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3189 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3190 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3191 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3195 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3197 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3199 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3201 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3202 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3203 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3206 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3207 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3208 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3211 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3214 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3215 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3218 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3219 run algorithm test programs.
3222 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3225 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3226 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3227 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3228 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3229 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3232 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3233 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3236 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3238 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3239 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3240 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3242 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3243 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3245 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3246 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3248 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3249 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3250 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3252 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3253 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3254 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3255 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3256 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3257 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3258 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3261 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3263 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3264 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3266 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3267 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3268 undesirable limitations.
3269 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3271 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3273 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3274 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3275 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3277 The latter two were purportedly from
3278 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3281 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3282 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3283 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3286 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3287 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3290 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3292 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3293 module in FIPS mode.
3296 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3299 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3300 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3301 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3302 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3305 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3307 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3308 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3309 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3310 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3311 the difference induced by this change.
3314 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3316 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3317 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3318 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3319 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3320 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3322 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3323 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3324 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3326 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3327 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3330 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3331 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3332 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3333 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3337 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3338 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3339 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3340 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3341 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3343 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3344 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3345 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3346 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3347 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3348 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3350 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3352 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3353 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3354 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3355 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3356 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3359 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3363 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3364 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3365 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3368 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3369 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3370 structures constant.
3373 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3375 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3378 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3379 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3380 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3381 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3382 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3383 some needed definitions.
3386 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3389 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3390 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3391 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3392 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3395 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3397 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3398 server and client random values. Previously
3399 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3400 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3402 This change has negligible security impact because:
3404 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3407 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3410 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3411 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3414 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3417 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3419 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3422 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3423 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3424 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3426 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3429 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3430 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3433 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3434 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3435 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3437 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3440 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3441 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3442 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3446 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3447 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3448 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3449 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3451 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3452 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3453 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3454 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3458 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3460 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3461 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3462 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3463 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3464 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3467 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3470 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3471 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3473 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3474 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3475 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3476 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3477 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3478 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3479 rather than being initialized to 1.
3482 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3484 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3485 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3486 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3488 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3490 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3492 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3493 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3494 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3495 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3496 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3497 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3500 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3501 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3502 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3503 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3504 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3508 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3509 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3510 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3511 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3512 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3515 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3516 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3517 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3521 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3522 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3524 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3527 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3529 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3531 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3532 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3534 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3536 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3537 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3541 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3542 exiting on the first error in a request.
3545 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3546 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3550 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3551 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3552 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3553 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3555 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3556 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3559 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3560 blocks during encryption.
3563 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3564 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3565 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3566 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3570 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3571 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3572 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3573 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3574 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3578 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3580 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3581 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3582 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3583 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3586 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3587 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3588 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3589 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3590 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3592 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3593 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3594 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3595 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3596 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3597 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3598 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3599 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3600 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3603 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3604 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3605 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3606 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3609 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3610 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3613 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3615 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3616 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3617 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3618 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3619 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3621 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3622 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3623 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3625 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3626 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3627 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3628 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3629 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3631 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3632 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3633 used by default when no-err is given.
3636 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3637 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3639 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3640 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3641 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3642 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3643 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3645 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3646 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3647 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3648 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3650 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3652 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3654 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3656 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3657 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3658 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3659 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3663 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3664 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3666 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3667 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3670 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3671 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3672 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3673 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3676 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3677 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3678 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3679 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3680 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3681 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3682 followup to PR #377.
3685 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3686 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3689 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3690 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3691 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

3696 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3699 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3700 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3701 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3702 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3704 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3708 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3709 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3713 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3714 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3715 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3716 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3717 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3718 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3720 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3721 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3722 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3723 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3724 have to be made anyway).
3727 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3728 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3729 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3732 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3733 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3734 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3737 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3738 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3739 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3741 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3742 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3743 edit numbers of the version.
3744 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3746 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3747 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3748 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3750 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.

3753 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3754 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

3769 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer

3835 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

3849 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3850 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3851 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3853 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3854 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3855 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3857 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3858 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3859 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3860 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3862 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3863 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3864 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3867 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3868 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3869 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3870 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3871 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3872 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3873 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3874 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3877 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3878 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3879 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3882 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3883 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3884 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3885 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3886 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3888 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3889 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3891 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3892 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3895 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3896 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3897 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3898 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3899 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3900 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3903 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3904 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3905 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3908 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3909 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3912 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3913 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3914 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3915 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3916 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3917 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3918 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3921 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3922 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3923 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3924 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3925 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3926 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3929 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3930 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3931 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3932 declaration has been changed from
3935 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3936 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3937 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3938 has been changed into
3939 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3941 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3942 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3943 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3945 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3946 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3948 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3949 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3950 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3951 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3952 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3953 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3954 always load it have also been added.
3957 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3958 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3959 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3961 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3963 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3964 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3965 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3967 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3968 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3969 command line option can be used to specify an
3973 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3974 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3977 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3978 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3979 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3982 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3983 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3984 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3985 to work with the new engine framework.
3986 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3988 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3989 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3990 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3991 to work with the new engine framework.
3994 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3995 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3996 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3998 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3999 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]

4002 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4003 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4004 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant

4008 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4009 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4011 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4012 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4014 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4015 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4016 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4019 *) Add new functions
4021 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4022 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4023 These are similar to
4026 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4027 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4028 still in the error queue.
4029 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4031 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4033 default_algorithms = ALL
4034 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4037 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4040 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4043 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4044 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4045 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4046 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4048 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4049 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4051 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4052 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4054 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4055 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4058 *) New functions/macros
4060 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4061 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4062 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4063 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4065 to request calling a callback function
4067 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4068 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4070 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4071 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4072 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4073 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4074 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4075 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4076 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4077 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4078 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4079 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4081 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4082 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4085 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4086 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4087 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4088 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4089 the configuration scripts.
4091 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4092 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4093 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4095 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4096 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4098 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4099 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4100 when reusing an existing buffer.
4103 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4104 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4107 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4108 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4111 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4112 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4113 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4114 has the same effect.
4115 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4117 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4118 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4119 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4120 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4121 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4122 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4125 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4126 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4127 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4128 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4130 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4131 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4132 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4133 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4135 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4136 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4139 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4140 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4141 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4142 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4143 default), and then completely removed.
4146 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4147 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4148 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4149 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4150 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4151 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4152 particular extension is supported.
4155 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4156 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4159 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4160 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4161 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4162 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4163 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4164 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4165 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4166 requires the destination to be valid.
4168 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4169 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4172 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4173 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4174 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4177 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4178 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4180 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4181 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4182 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4183 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4184 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4185 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4186 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4187 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4188 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4189 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4190 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4191 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4192 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4193 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4194 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4195 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4196 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4197 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4198 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4202 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4205 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4206 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4207 become part of libeay.num as well.
4210 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4211 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4212 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4213 false once a handshake has been completed.
4214 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4215 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4216 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4217 client has followed the request.)
4220 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4221 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4222 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4223 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4225 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4226 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4227 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4230 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4233 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4234 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4235 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4238 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4239 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4242 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4243 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4244 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4245 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4248 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4249 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4250 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4251 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4252 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4253 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4256 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4257 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4258 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4259 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4260 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4261 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4262 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4263 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4266 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4267 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4270 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4273 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4274 md_data void pointer.
4277 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4278 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4279 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4280 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4281 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4282 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4285 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4286 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4287 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4288 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4289 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4290 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4291 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4292 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4293 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4294 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4295 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4296 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4297 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4298 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4299 rather than letting it slide.
4301 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4302 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4303 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4306 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4307 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4308 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4309 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4310 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4311 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4312 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4313 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4314 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4317 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4318 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4319 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4320 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4321 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4323 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4326 *) Add EVP test program.
4329 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4332 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4333 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4334 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4335 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4336 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4339 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4340 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4341 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4342 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4343 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4344 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4345 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4347 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4348 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4349 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4354 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4355 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4356 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4357 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4358 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4362 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4363 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4364 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4365 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4368 des_key_schedule ks;
4370 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4371 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4373 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4376 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4377 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4378 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4379 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4380 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4381 functions prevents this.
4384 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4387 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4388 correct _ecb suffix.
4391 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4392 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4393 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4394 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4395 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4398 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4401 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4402 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4403 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4404 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4406 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4407 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4409 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4410 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4411 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4412 via Richard Levitte]
4414 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4415 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4416 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4417 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4420 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4423 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

4438 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4439 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4441 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4442 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4443 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4444 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4445 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4446 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4449 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4450 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4453 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4454 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4455 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4456 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4458 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4459 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4460 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4461 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4462 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4463 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4467 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4468 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4469 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4470 and interrupts/cancellations.
4473 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4474 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4477 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4478 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4479 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4481 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4482 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4486 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4487 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4488 than this minimum value is recommended.
4491 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4492 that are easily reachable.
4495 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4496 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4498 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4500 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4501 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4502 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4503 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4506 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4507 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4508 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4511 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4512 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4513 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4514 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4515 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4516 internally such as S/MIME.
4518 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4519 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4520 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4522 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4526 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4527 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4528 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4529 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4531 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4533 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4535 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4536 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4537 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4541 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4542 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4543 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4544 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4545 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4546 a window system and the like.
4549 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4550 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4553 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4554 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4555 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4556 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4557 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4558 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4559 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4560 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4561 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4565 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4566 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4570 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4571 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4572 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4573 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4574 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4575 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4576 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4577 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4580 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4581 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4582 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4583 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4584 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4585 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4586 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4587 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4588 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4589 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4590 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4591 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4592 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4593 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4594 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4595 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4596 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4599 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4600 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4601 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4602 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4603 internal engine_int.h header.
4606 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4607 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4608 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4609 modify their own ones).
4612 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4613 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4614 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4615 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4616 later on via ctrl() commands.
4617 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4618 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4619 structural references.
4620 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4621 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4622 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4623 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4624 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4625 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4626 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4627 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4628 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4629 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4630 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4631 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4634 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4635 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4636 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4637 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4638 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4639 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4640 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4641 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4644 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4645 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4648 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4649 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4652 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4653 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4654 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4655 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4656 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4657 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4658 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4661 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4662 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4663 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4664 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4665 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4667 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4668 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4672 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4674 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4675 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4676 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4678 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4679 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4681 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4682 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4683 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4685 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4686 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4688 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4689 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4691 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4693 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4694 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4695 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4698 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4699 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4702 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4703 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4704 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4705 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4706 is 40 of more characters long.
4709 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4710 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4714 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4715 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4718 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4719 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4723 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4725 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4726 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4729 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4731 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4732 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4733 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4735 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4736 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4738 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4741 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4745 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4746 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4747 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4748 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4750 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4752 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4753 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4755 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4756 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4757 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4758 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4759 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4760 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4762 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4763 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4765 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4766 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4768 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4769 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4771 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4772 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4773 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4774 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4776 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4777 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4779 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4780 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4782 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4783 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4784 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4785 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4786 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4789 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4790 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4791 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4792 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4795 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4796 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4797 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4801 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4802 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4803 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4804 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4805 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4806 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4807 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4808 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4812 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4813 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4816 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4817 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4818 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4819 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4822 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4823 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4824 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4825 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4826 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4827 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4828 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4829 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4830 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4831 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4834 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4835 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4836 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4837 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4838 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4839 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4840 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4841 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4843 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4844 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4845 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4846 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4849 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4850 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4851 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4852 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4854 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4855 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4856 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4857 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4858 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4862 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4863 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4864 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4865 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4869 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4870 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4871 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4874 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4875 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4876 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4877 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4878 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4881 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4884 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4885 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4886 option to ocsp utility.
4889 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4890 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4891 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4892 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4893 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4894 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4895 the request is nonce-less.
4898 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4899 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4900 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4903 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4904 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4905 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4908 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4909 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4910 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4911 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4912 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4915 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4916 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4920 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4921 additional certificates supplied.
4924 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4925 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4929 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4930 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4933 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4934 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4935 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4936 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4937 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4938 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4939 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4940 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4941 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4943 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4944 request to response.
4947 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4948 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4949 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4950 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4951 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4952 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4953 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4954 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4955 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4956 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4957 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4960 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4961 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4962 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4963 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4966 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4967 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4969 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4970 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4971 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4974 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4975 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4976 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4977 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4978 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4980 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4981 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4982 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4985 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4986 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4987 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4988 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4989 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4990 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4991 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4992 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4994 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4995 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4996 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4997 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4998 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4999 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5002 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5003 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5004 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5005 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5006 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5007 printout format cleaned up.
5010 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5011 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5012 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5013 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5014 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5015 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5016 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5017 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5020 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5021 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5022 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5023 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5024 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5025 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5026 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5027 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5030 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5031 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5032 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5033 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5035 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5037 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5038 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5039 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5040 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5043 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5044 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5045 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5046 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5048 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5050 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5051 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5052 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5053 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5055 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5056 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5058 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5059 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5060 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5063 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5064 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5065 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5068 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5069 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5070 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5071 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5072 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5073 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5074 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5075 functions are provided:
5077 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5078 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5079 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5080 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5082 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5083 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5084 extended allocation function is enabled.
5085 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5086 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5087 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5089 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5090 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5091 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5092 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5093 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5096 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5097 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5098 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5100 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5101 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5102 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5105 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5106 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5107 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5108 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5109 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5110 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5111 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5112 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5113 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5116 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5117 provide utility functions which an application needing
5118 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5119 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5120 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5122 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5123 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5124 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5125 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5126 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5127 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5128 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5129 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5130 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5132 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5133 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5134 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5135 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5138 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5139 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5140 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5141 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5142 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5143 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5144 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5145 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5146 will be added elsewhere.
5149 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5150 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5151 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5152 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5155 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5156 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5157 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5158 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5159 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5160 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5161 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5162 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5163 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5164 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5165 to produce the required SET OF.
5168 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5169 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5170 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5173 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5174 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5175 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5176 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5177 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5178 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5181 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5182 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5183 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5186 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5187 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5188 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5191 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5192 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5193 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5194 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5195 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5198 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5199 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5202 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5203 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5204 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5205 certifcates and CRLs.
5208 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5209 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5210 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5213 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5214 entries for variables.
5217 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5218 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5219 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5220 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5223 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5224 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5225 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5226 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5227 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5228 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5231 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5232 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5234 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5235 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5236 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5239 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5243 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5244 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5245 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5246 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5247 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5248 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5251 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5254 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5255 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5256 for now but they will eventually go away.
5259 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5260 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5261 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5262 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5263 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5264 has also been converted to the new form.
5267 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5268 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5269 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5270 for negative moduli.
5273 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5274 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5277 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5281 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5282 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5283 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5284 type-specific callbacks.
5287 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5289 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5290 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5292 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5293 in sections depending on the subject.
5296 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5300 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5301 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5302 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5303 be handled deterministically).
5304 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5306 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5307 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5308 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5311 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5314 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5315 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5316 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5317 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5318 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5321 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5322 sign of the number in question.
5324 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5326 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5327 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5328 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5329 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5330 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5333 *) New function BN_swap.
5336 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5337 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5338 results on negative inputs.
5341 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5342 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5343 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5346 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5347 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5348 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5349 and add new functions:
5358 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5362 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5364 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5365 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5367 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5368 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5369 be reduced modulo m.
5370 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5373 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5374 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5375 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5377 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5378 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5379 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5380 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5381 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5382 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5387 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5388 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5389 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5390 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5391 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5393 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5394 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5395 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5399 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5402 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5403 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5406 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5407 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5408 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5409 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5413 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5416 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5419 *) Add the following functions:
5421 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5423 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5425 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5427 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5428 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5429 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5430 libraries unless it's really needed.
5432 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5433 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5434 declarations (they differed!).
5437 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5440 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5443 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5446 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5447 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5450 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5451 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5452 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5454 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5455 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5458 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5461 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5464 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5467 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5468 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5469 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5471 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5472 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5473 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5474 different shared library filenames on each system.
5477 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5480 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5481 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5482 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5484 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5487 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5488 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5489 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5490 binary backward compatibility.
5491 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5492 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5493 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5497 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5498 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5499 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5500 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5504 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5507 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5508 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5509 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5510 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5514 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5517 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5519 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5520 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5521 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5523 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5525 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5527 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5528 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5531 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5533 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5535 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5536 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5538 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5539 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5543 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5544 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5548 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5549 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5550 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5551 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5553 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5554 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5557 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5559 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5560 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5561 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5562 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5565 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5566 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5567 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5568 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5569 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5571 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5572 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5573 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5574 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5575 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5576 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5577 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5578 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5579 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5582 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5584 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5585 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5586 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5587 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5588 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5590 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5591 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5592 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5594 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5596 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5597 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5598 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5599 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5600 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5601 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5604 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5605 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5606 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5607 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5608 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5611 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5612 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5613 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5615 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5616 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5617 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5621 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5622 being properly terminated.
5625 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5626 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5627 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5628 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5630 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5631 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5632 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5633 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5634 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5635 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5636 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5638 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5640 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5641 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5644 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5645 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5646 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5647 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5648 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5649 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5650 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5651 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5653 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5654 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5655 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5656 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5657 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5659 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5660 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5663 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5665 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5666 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5667 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5669 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5671 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5672 and get fix the header length calculation.
5673 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5674 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5677 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5678 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5679 assertions could call abort()).
5680 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5682 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5684 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5685 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5686 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5688 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5690 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5691 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5692 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5695 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5699 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5700 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5701 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5703 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5704 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5705 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5706 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5707 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5711 *) Changes in security patch:
5713 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5714 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5715 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5718 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5719 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5720 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5721 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5722 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5724 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5726 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5728 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5729 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5730 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5732 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5733 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5734 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5736 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5737 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5738 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5740 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5742 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5743 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5744 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5746 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5747 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5749 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5750 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5751 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5752 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5753 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5754 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5757 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5758 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5759 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5760 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5763 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5766 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5767 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5768 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5769 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5770 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5771 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5773 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5774 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5775 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5776 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5777 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5780 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5781 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5782 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5783 BN_generate_prime().)
5785 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5786 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5787 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5791 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5792 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5795 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5796 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5797 when using non-blocking I/O.
5798 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5800 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5801 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5803 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5804 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5807 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5808 configuration for the versions before that.
5809 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5811 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5812 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5813 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5814 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5817 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5818 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5819 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5822 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5826 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5827 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5828 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5830 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5831 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5833 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5834 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5835 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5836 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5837 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5838 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5839 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5842 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5843 using a local variable.
5844 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5846 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5847 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5848 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5850 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5853 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5854 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5856 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5857 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5858 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5860 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5862 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5863 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5864 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5865 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5868 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5872 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5873 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5874 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5875 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5876 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5878 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5879 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5880 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5882 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5883 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5884 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5886 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5887 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5888 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5889 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5891 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5892 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5893 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5895 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5897 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5898 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5900 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5902 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5903 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5904 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5905 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5907 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5908 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5909 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5910 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5912 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5913 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5915 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5916 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5917 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5920 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5921 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5922 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5924 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5926 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5927 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5928 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5929 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5930 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5931 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5932 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5935 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5936 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5937 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5938 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5940 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5941 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5942 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5943 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5944 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5945 the client will at least see that alert.
5948 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5952 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5953 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5954 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5956 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5957 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5958 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5959 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5962 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5963 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5964 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5966 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5967 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5968 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5969 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5970 may leak via logfiles.)
5972 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5973 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5974 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5975 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5979 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5980 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5983 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5984 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5985 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5986 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5987 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5990 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5991 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5993 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5994 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5995 followed by modular reduction.
5996 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5998 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5999 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6002 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6003 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6004 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6005 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6008 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6011 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6012 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6015 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6016 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6017 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6018 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6019 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6020 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6022 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6024 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6025 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6026 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6027 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6028 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6030 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6033 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6034 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6035 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6036 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6037 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6038 to allow the necessary settings.
6041 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6042 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6043 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6044 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6047 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6048 dh->length and always used
6050 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6052 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6053 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6054 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6055 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6056 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6061 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6063 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6069 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6070 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6071 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6072 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6074 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6075 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6076 always reject numbers >= n.
6079 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6080 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6081 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6082 variable) is not atomic.
6085 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6086 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6087 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6088 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6090 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6091 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6093 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6095 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6097 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6100 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6102 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6103 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6104 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6105 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6106 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6107 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6108 to traverse all of 'state'.
6110 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6111 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6112 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6114 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6115 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6117 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6118 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6119 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6120 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6121 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6122 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6123 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6124 further strengthens the PRNG.
6127 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6130 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6131 an error message in this case.
6134 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6137 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6138 positive and less than q.
6141 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6142 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6144 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6146 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6147 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6151 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6153 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6154 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6155 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6156 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6157 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6158 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6159 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6162 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6163 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6164 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6165 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6167 Both problems are now fixed.
6170 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6171 (previously it was 1024).
6174 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6175 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6178 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6181 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6182 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6183 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6186 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6187 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6188 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6189 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6190 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6191 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6192 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6193 environment variables.
6195 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6196 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6197 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6200 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6201 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6202 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6203 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6204 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6205 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6208 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6212 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6214 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6215 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6217 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6218 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6219 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6220 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6224 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6225 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6226 amount of data available.
6227 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6228 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6230 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6231 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6232 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6233 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6236 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6237 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6241 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6242 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6243 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6244 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6247 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6250 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6253 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6254 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6256 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6258 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6259 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6260 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6261 (but broken) behaviour.
6264 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6266 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6268 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6269 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6272 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6276 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6277 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6279 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6282 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6283 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6284 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6286 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6287 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6288 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6291 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6292 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6295 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6296 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6298 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6300 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6302 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6303 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6304 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6305 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6308 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6311 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6312 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6313 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6315 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6318 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6320 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6321 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6322 but the code is actually correct.
6325 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6326 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6327 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6328 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6329 and leaves the highest bit random.
6330 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6332 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6333 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6334 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6335 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6336 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6337 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6338 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6341 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6344 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6345 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6348 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6349 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6350 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6351 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6355 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6356 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6357 and break the signature.
6359 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6361 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6365 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6366 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6367 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6368 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6369 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6372 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6373 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6375 *) ./config script fixes.
6376 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6378 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6381 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6382 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6383 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6384 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6385 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6387 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6388 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6391 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6392 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6395 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6396 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6397 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6398 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6400 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6401 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6403 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6404 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6405 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6406 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6407 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6409 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6412 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6415 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6418 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6421 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6422 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6425 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6426 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6427 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6428 result of the server certificate verification.)
6431 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6432 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6433 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6437 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6438 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6439 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6440 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6441 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6442 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6443 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6444 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6447 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6448 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6449 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6450 happening the other way round.
6453 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6454 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6457 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6458 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6459 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6460 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6463 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6464 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6466 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6468 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6469 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6470 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6473 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6475 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6477 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6481 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6483 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6484 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6485 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6486 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6487 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6489 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6490 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6494 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6497 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6499 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6500 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6501 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6502 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6503 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6504 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6505 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6506 by the Finished messages.
6509 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6510 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6512 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6513 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6514 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6515 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6516 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6520 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6521 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6522 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6523 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6524 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6525 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6526 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6527 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6528 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6532 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6533 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6534 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6535 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6537 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6538 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6539 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6540 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6541 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6544 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6545 been tested well enough.
6548 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6549 it can return incorrect results.
6550 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6551 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6554 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6555 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6556 include zero length content when signing messages.
6559 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6560 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6563 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6566 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6570 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6571 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6572 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6573 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6574 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6575 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6578 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6579 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6581 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6582 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6584 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6585 random number < q in the DSA library.
6588 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6589 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6590 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6591 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6592 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6593 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6594 just makes things more complicated.)
6597 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6601 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6602 work better on such systems.
6603 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6605 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6606 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6607 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6610 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6611 if there was more than one signature.
6612 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6614 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6615 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6616 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6617 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6620 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6621 rather than always using the current time.
6624 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6625 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6626 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6627 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6628 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6629 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6631 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6632 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6634 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6636 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6637 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6638 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6639 the same hash value.
6641 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6642 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6643 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6644 with X509_STORE internally.
6646 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6647 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6649 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6650 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6651 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6652 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6653 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6654 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6655 entirely (maybe later...).
6657 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6659 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6660 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6661 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6662 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6663 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6664 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6665 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6666 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6668 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6669 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6671 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6672 to customise the verify behaviour.
6675 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6676 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6679 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6680 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6681 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6682 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6683 request is improperly encoded.
6686 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6687 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6690 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6691 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6693 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6694 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6698 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6699 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6700 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6703 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6704 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6705 BIO/fp routines also added.
6708 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6709 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6711 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6712 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6713 demos/state_machine.
6716 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6717 generation and verification.
6720 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6721 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6722 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6723 encode and decode it manually.
6726 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6728 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6730 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6731 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6732 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6733 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6735 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6736 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6737 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6738 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6739 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6742 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6745 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6746 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6747 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6749 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6750 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6751 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6752 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6753 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6754 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6755 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6756 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6758 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6759 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6761 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6763 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6764 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6765 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6769 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6770 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6771 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6772 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6776 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6778 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6781 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6782 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6783 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6784 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6785 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6786 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6787 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6788 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6789 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6790 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6791 short or long names are found.
6794 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6795 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6797 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6798 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6799 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6800 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6802 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6803 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6804 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6805 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6808 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6809 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6810 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6813 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6814 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6815 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6816 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6817 to allow the various flags to be set.
6820 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6821 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6822 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6823 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6824 dates to be checked.
6827 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6828 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6829 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6832 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6833 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6834 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6837 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6838 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6841 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6842 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6843 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6844 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6845 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6846 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6849 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6850 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6854 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6858 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6859 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6860 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6861 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6862 form signing output easier to verify.
6865 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6868 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6869 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6870 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6871 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6872 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6873 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6874 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6875 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6876 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6877 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6880 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6882 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6883 the syntax given in objects.README.
6884 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6886 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6889 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6890 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6891 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6892 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6893 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6894 consistent name changes.
6897 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6900 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6901 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6902 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6903 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6906 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6907 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6908 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6912 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6913 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6914 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6915 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6918 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6919 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6920 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6921 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6922 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6923 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6924 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6925 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6926 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6927 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6928 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6931 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6932 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6933 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6934 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6935 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6936 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6937 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6938 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6939 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6940 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6943 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6944 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6945 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6946 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6948 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6949 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6950 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6951 omit any duplicate addresses.
6954 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6955 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6958 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6959 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6960 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6961 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6962 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6965 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6967 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6968 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6969 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6970 Free => OPENSSL_free
6973 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6974 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6977 *) CygWin32 support.
6978 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6980 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6981 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6982 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6983 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6984 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6988 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6989 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6990 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6991 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6992 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6993 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6994 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6997 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6998 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6999 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7000 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7001 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7002 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7003 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7004 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7005 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7006 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7007 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7010 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7011 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7012 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7013 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7014 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7016 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7017 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7018 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7019 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7020 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7022 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7025 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7026 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7027 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7028 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7030 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7032 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7035 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7036 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7037 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7040 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7041 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7042 any installed hardware versions can.
7045 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7046 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7047 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7051 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7052 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7053 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7054 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7055 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7057 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7058 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7061 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7062 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7065 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7066 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7067 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7071 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7074 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7075 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7076 but no ssl client purpose.
7077 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7079 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7080 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7081 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7082 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7083 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7084 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7085 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7086 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7087 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7088 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7089 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7092 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7093 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7094 be obtained from the error queue.
7097 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7098 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7099 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7100 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7103 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7106 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7107 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7108 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7109 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7110 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7113 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7114 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7115 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7116 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7117 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7120 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7121 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7122 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7124 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7126 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7127 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7128 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7129 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7130 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7131 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7132 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7133 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7134 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7135 or "the configuration storage API"...
7137 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7139 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7140 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7142 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7144 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7146 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7147 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7148 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7149 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7150 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7151 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7152 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7154 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7155 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7158 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7159 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7160 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7161 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7164 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7165 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7166 them in a portable way.
7167 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7169 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7171 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7173 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7174 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7176 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7177 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7178 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7181 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7182 was larger than the MD block size.
7183 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7185 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7186 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7187 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7188 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7192 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7193 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7194 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7196 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7198 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7200 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7201 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7202 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7203 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7204 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7205 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7207 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7208 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7210 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7211 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7214 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7217 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7218 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7220 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7221 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7222 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7223 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7226 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7227 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7228 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7229 does not suppress any output.
7232 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7233 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7234 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7235 with all the associated security issues.
7237 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7238 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7239 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7240 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7241 use the value in the default purpose.
7244 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7245 and fix a memory leak.
7248 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7249 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7250 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7251 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7254 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7255 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7256 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7257 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7260 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7261 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7262 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7265 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7266 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7269 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7270 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7274 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7275 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7278 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7279 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7280 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7283 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7284 number generation fails.
7287 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7290 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7291 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7293 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7296 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7297 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7299 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7300 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7302 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7304 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7305 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7308 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7309 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7311 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7312 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7315 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7316 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7317 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7318 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7319 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7320 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7322 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7323 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7324 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7328 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7329 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7330 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7331 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7332 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7333 counter, some don't.)
7334 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7335 counters or duplicate objects.
7338 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7339 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7342 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7343 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7344 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7346 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7347 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7348 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7352 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7353 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7356 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7357 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7358 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7362 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7363 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7364 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7367 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7368 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7369 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7370 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7371 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7372 should work without changes.
7375 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7376 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7377 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7378 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7379 must be defined. E.g.,
7380 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7381 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7382 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7383 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7385 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7389 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7390 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7391 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7394 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7395 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7396 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7397 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7400 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7401 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7402 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7403 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7404 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7405 is prompted for as usual.
7408 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7409 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7410 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7411 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7413 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7414 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7415 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7416 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7419 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7422 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7426 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7429 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7432 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7436 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7439 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7442 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7443 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7446 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7447 options to produce them.
7450 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7451 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7454 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7458 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7459 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7460 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7461 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7462 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7463 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7464 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7467 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7470 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7471 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7472 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7475 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7476 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7478 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7479 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7482 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7483 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7484 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7488 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7489 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7491 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7492 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7493 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7494 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7495 generation becomes much faster.
7497 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7498 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7499 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7500 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7501 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7502 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7503 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7504 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7505 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7506 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7509 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7510 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7511 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7512 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7513 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7514 trial division stage.
7517 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7521 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7524 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7527 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7528 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7529 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7533 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7534 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7535 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7538 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7539 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7540 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7541 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7543 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7544 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7547 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7550 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7551 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7552 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7553 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7556 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7557 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7558 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7561 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7562 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7563 (instead of parameters) in future.
7566 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7567 when a new cipher list is set.
7570 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7571 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7574 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7575 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7576 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7578 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7579 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7580 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7581 an error is flagged.
7583 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7584 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7585 the readability was also increased :-)
7586 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7588 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7589 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7590 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7591 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7595 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7596 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7599 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7600 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7601 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7602 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7605 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7606 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7607 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7608 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7609 because they handle more complex structures.)
7612 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7613 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7614 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7615 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7617 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7618 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7619 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7620 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7621 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7622 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7623 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7626 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7627 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7628 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7629 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7630 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7633 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7636 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7637 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7638 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7639 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7640 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7643 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7647 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7648 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7649 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7650 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7653 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7656 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7657 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7658 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7659 international characters are used.
7661 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7662 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7663 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7667 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7668 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7669 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7672 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7673 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7674 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7675 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7676 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7677 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7679 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7680 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7681 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7682 be handled by the string table functions.
7684 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7685 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7686 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7687 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7688 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7692 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7693 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7694 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7695 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7696 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7698 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7699 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7700 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7701 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7704 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7705 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7706 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7707 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7708 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7712 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7713 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7714 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7715 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7716 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7717 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7718 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7719 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7721 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7722 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7723 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7726 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7727 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7728 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7729 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7730 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7731 support to pkcs8 application.
7734 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7735 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7736 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7737 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7738 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7739 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7742 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7743 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7744 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7745 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7746 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7750 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7751 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7752 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7753 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7757 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7758 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7759 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7760 and any application specific purposes.
7762 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7763 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7764 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7765 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7766 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7767 if the certificate is self signed.
7770 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7771 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7774 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7775 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7776 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7777 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7780 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7781 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7782 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7783 Update documentation.
7786 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7787 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7788 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7789 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7790 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7793 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7795 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7797 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7798 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7799 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7800 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7801 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7802 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7803 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7804 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7805 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7806 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7808 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7810 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7811 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7812 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7813 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7814 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7816 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7817 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7818 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7819 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7820 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7821 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7822 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7823 request additional information:
7824 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7825 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7827 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7828 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7829 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7832 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7833 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7836 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7839 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7840 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7842 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7843 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7844 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7848 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7849 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7850 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7852 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7853 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7854 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7855 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7856 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7857 included in OpenSSL.
7860 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7861 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7862 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7863 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7864 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7865 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7868 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7872 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7873 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7874 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7875 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7876 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7880 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7884 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7885 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7886 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7887 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7888 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7889 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7890 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7891 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7892 be maintained manually.
7894 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7895 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7896 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7897 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7898 work because people forget to call this function]
7899 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7900 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7901 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7904 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7905 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7906 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7907 should be discouraged from doing it.
7910 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7911 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7912 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7913 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7914 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7915 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7918 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7919 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7920 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7922 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7923 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7924 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7926 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7927 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7928 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7929 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7930 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7931 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7933 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7934 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7935 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7937 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7938 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7941 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7942 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7943 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7944 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7947 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7950 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7951 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7952 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7953 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7954 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7955 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7956 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7957 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7958 keys so we should be OK.
7960 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7961 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7962 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7963 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7964 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7965 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7966 stay in the name of compatibility.
7968 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7969 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7970 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7972 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7973 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7974 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7975 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7976 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7977 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7981 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7982 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7983 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7984 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7985 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7986 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7987 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7988 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7989 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7990 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7991 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7992 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7993 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7996 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7999 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8000 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8001 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8002 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8003 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8004 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8005 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8006 openssl verify ss.pem
8007 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8008 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8012 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8013 (and add it to external session representation).
8014 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8015 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8016 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8017 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8018 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8019 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8021 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8023 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8024 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8025 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8026 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8028 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8029 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8030 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8033 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8034 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8035 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8039 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8040 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8041 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8043 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8044 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8045 certificate auxiliary information.
8048 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8052 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8053 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8054 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8055 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8056 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8057 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8058 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8061 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8062 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8065 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8066 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8067 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8068 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8071 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8074 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8075 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8078 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8079 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8080 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8081 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8082 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8083 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8084 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8085 using the new 'x509' options.
8087 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8088 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8089 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8090 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8094 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8095 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8096 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8097 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8098 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8101 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8102 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8103 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8104 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8105 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8106 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8107 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8108 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8109 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8110 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8113 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8114 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8115 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8116 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8117 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8118 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8119 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8122 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8123 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8124 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8125 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8126 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8127 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8128 openssl.cnf for more info.
8131 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8132 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8133 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8134 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8135 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8136 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8137 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8138 md should be large enough anyway.
8141 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8142 for handling the random seed file.
8144 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8146 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8149 x509 (when signing).
8150 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8151 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8152 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8154 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8155 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8156 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8157 that support '-rand'.
8160 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8161 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8164 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8165 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8168 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8169 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8170 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8171 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8175 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8176 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8177 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8178 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8181 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8182 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8183 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8184 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8185 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8186 print out all the purposes.
8189 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8193 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8194 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8195 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8196 single function call.
8199 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8200 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8203 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8204 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8205 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8208 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8209 when producing the local key id.
8210 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8212 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8213 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8214 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8218 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8219 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8220 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8221 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8224 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8225 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8226 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8227 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8229 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8230 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8231 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8232 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8234 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8235 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8236 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8237 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8238 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8239 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8240 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8241 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8242 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8243 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8244 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8245 trivial: move one line.
8246 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8248 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8249 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8250 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8251 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8252 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8253 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8254 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8255 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8256 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8257 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8258 with an event loop for example.
8261 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8262 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8263 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8264 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8265 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8266 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8267 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8268 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8269 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8272 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8273 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8274 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8275 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8276 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8277 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8280 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8281 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8282 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8283 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8285 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8286 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8287 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8288 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8292 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8293 (still largely untested)
8296 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8297 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8300 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8301 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8304 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8305 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8306 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8309 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8310 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8311 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8312 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8313 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8316 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8319 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8320 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8321 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8322 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8323 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8327 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8328 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8331 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8334 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8335 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8336 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8337 are otherwise ignored at present.
8340 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8341 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8342 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8343 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8344 copied until the next read.
8347 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8348 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8349 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8352 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8353 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8354 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8355 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8356 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8357 associated functions.
8360 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8361 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8362 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8363 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8364 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8365 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8366 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8367 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8368 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8372 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8373 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8374 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8375 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8378 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8379 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8380 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8381 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8382 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8386 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8387 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8391 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8392 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8393 extensions to be obtained and added.
8396 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8397 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8400 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8402 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8403 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8405 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8406 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8408 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8412 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8413 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8414 DH parameters contain its length).
8416 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8417 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8418 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8419 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8420 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8421 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8422 utter importance to use
8423 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8425 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8426 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8427 attacks may become possible!
8430 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8433 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8434 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8437 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8438 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8439 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8443 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8444 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8445 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8446 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8447 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8448 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8449 private key operations.
8452 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8455 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8456 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8458 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8459 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8460 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8461 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8462 the password callback is called.
8463 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8465 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8467 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8468 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8469 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8470 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8471 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8472 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8475 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8476 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8477 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8478 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8479 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8480 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8483 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8486 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8487 delete an unused file.
8490 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8491 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8492 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8493 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8496 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8497 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8498 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8502 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8503 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8504 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8506 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8507 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8508 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8509 comparison" warnings.
8510 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8513 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8514 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8515 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8518 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8519 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8521 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8522 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8524 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8525 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8526 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8528 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8529 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8530 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8531 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8532 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8534 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8536 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8537 The interface is as follows:
8538 Applications can use
8539 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8540 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8541 "off" is now the default.
8542 The library internally uses
8543 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8544 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8545 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8547 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8548 even the default) are now avoided.
8550 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8551 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8552 than just having a counter.
8554 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8556 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8560 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8561 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8562 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8563 Initial "mode" flags are:
8565 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8566 a single record has been written.
8567 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8568 retries use the same buffer location.
8569 (But all of the contents must be
8573 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8576 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8577 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8579 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8580 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8581 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8584 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8585 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8587 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8589 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8590 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8591 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8592 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8594 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8595 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8597 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8598 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8599 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8600 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8601 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8602 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8605 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8606 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8607 necessary function names.
8610 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8611 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8612 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8613 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8616 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8617 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8618 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8621 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8622 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8623 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8624 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8626 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8630 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8631 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8632 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8635 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8636 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8640 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8641 for the encoded length.
8642 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8644 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8647 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8648 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8649 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8650 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8653 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8654 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8655 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8657 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8658 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8659 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8663 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8664 to use the new extension code.
8667 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8668 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8669 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8673 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8674 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8675 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8679 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8682 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8683 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8684 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8687 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8688 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8689 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8690 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8693 *) DES library cleanups.
8696 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8697 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8698 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8699 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8700 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8704 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8705 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8708 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8709 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8710 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8711 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8712 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8713 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8714 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8715 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8716 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8719 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8720 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8721 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8722 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8723 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8724 value doesn't matter.
8727 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8731 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8732 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8733 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8734 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8736 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8739 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8740 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8741 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8743 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8744 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8746 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8749 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8752 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8755 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8759 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8761 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8763 *) Updated some demos.
8764 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8766 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8769 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8772 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8775 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8776 instead of using a fixed path.
8779 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8782 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8786 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8788 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8789 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8790 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8792 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8793 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8794 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8795 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8796 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8797 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8798 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8799 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8800 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8801 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8804 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8805 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8808 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8809 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8810 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8811 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8812 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8814 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8817 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8818 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8819 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8822 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8825 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8826 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8827 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8828 key elements as negative integers.
8831 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8832 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8835 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8837 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8838 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8839 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8842 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8843 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8844 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8845 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8846 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8849 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8852 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8853 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8854 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8855 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8857 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8858 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8859 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8861 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8862 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8863 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8864 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8865 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8866 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8867 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8868 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8869 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8871 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8872 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8873 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8874 does not influence s as it used to.
8876 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8877 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8878 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8879 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8880 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8881 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8884 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8885 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8886 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8890 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8891 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8892 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8896 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8897 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8898 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8902 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8903 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8906 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8907 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8912 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8913 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8915 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8916 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8918 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8921 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8924 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8925 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8927 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8928 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8929 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8933 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8934 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8935 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8936 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8937 now it really counts the depth.
8940 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8941 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8942 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8943 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8944 didn't match the private key).
8946 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8947 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8948 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8951 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8954 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8958 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8959 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8960 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8963 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8966 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8967 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8968 such as /usr/local/bin.
8971 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8972 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8974 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8977 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8978 extension adding in x509 utility.
8981 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8984 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8988 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8991 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8992 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8993 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8994 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8995 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8996 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8997 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8998 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8999 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9000 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9003 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9006 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9007 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9010 *) Fix some race conditions.
9013 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9014 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9017 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9020 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9021 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9022 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9023 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9025 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9026 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9028 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9029 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9030 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9032 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9033 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9035 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9038 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9039 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9041 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9044 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9045 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9047 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9048 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9051 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9052 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9055 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9056 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9059 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9060 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9063 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9064 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9067 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9068 support typesafe stack.
9071 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9072 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9074 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9075 old X509V3 handling code.
9078 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9081 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9084 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9087 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9088 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9090 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9091 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9092 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9093 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9094 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9097 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9098 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9099 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9100 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9101 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9103 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9104 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9105 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9106 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9108 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9109 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9110 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9111 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9113 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9114 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9115 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9116 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9117 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9118 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9121 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9122 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9125 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9126 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9129 *) Tweaks to Configure
9130 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9132 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9136 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9139 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9140 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9143 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9144 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9145 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9148 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9151 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9152 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9155 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9156 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9157 to library startup routines.
9160 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9161 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9162 codes along the way.
9165 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9166 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9167 objects to objects.h
9170 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9171 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9174 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9175 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9177 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9178 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9179 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9181 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9182 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9183 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9185 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9186 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9187 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9190 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9192 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9193 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9196 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9197 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9198 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9199 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9200 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9202 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9203 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9204 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9206 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9208 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9210 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9212 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9213 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9215 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9216 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9217 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9218 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9220 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9223 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9224 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9225 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9226 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9229 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9230 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9231 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9234 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9235 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9236 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9237 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9238 installed as `perl').
9239 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9241 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9242 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9244 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9245 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9246 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9247 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9248 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9251 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9254 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9255 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9256 is horrible: I feel ill....
9259 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9260 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9261 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9262 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9265 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9268 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9269 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9270 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9271 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9273 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9274 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9275 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9276 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9277 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9278 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9280 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9282 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9283 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9285 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9286 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9288 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9291 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9292 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9296 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9297 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9298 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9299 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9300 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9301 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9302 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9303 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9304 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9305 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9306 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9308 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9311 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9312 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9313 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9314 for linking it into DSOs.
9315 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9317 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9321 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9322 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9323 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9324 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9325 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9326 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9328 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9329 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9330 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9331 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9332 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9333 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9334 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9336 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9337 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9338 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9342 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9343 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9344 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9345 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9348 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9349 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9350 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9351 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9352 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9356 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9357 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9358 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9359 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9362 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9363 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9364 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9366 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9367 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9369 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9370 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9371 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9372 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9373 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9376 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9377 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9378 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9379 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9380 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9381 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9382 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9385 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9387 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9388 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9391 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9392 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9394 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9395 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9398 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9399 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9400 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9401 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9402 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9404 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9405 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9406 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9407 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9408 no way to reconfigure them.
9409 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9410 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9411 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9412 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9413 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9414 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9416 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9417 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9418 recognized by the users.
9419 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9421 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9422 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9423 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9424 already masked variable.
9425 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9427 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9428 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9430 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9431 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9432 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9433 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9435 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9436 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9437 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9439 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9440 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9441 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9442 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9443 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9444 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9445 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9446 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9450 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9451 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9452 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9454 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9455 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9459 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9460 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9462 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9463 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9464 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9465 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9468 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9471 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9472 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9474 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9477 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9478 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9481 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9482 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9485 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9486 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9487 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9488 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9489 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9490 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9491 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9494 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9495 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9497 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9498 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9499 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9500 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9501 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9503 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9504 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9505 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9508 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9509 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9513 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9514 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9515 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9517 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9518 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9519 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9523 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9524 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9525 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9526 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9529 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9530 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9531 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9532 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9535 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9536 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9537 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9538 so it wasn't spotted.
9539 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9541 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9542 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9543 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9544 vectors if you have them.
9547 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9548 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9551 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9552 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9553 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9554 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9556 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9557 it will update them.
9560 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9561 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9562 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9563 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9564 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9565 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9566 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9567 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9569 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9570 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9571 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9572 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9573 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9574 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9575 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9576 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9577 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9578 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9580 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9581 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9582 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9583 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9584 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9587 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9591 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9592 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9594 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9595 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9597 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9598 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9601 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9602 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9604 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9605 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9607 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9610 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9614 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9615 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9616 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9617 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9619 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9622 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9625 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9628 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9629 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9632 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9633 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9637 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9638 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9641 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9642 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9643 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9646 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9647 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9648 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9649 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9650 properly to be processed.
9653 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9654 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9655 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9658 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9659 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9661 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9662 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9663 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9664 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9665 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9666 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9667 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9668 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9669 or delete all the .err files.
9672 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9673 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9674 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9675 to regenerate it if needed.
9676 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9677 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9679 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9680 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9682 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9683 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9684 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9685 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9686 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9689 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9690 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9692 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9693 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9695 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9696 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9697 error, but didn't set one).
9698 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9700 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9703 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9704 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9707 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9708 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9710 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9711 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9712 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9713 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9714 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9715 OID is not part of the table.
9718 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9719 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9722 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9725 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9726 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9730 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9731 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9733 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9735 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9737 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9738 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9740 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9741 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9743 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9744 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9746 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9747 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9750 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9751 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9754 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9755 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9757 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9758 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9760 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9761 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9763 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9764 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9766 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9767 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9768 unused in the certificate verification process.
9769 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9771 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9772 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9775 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9776 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9777 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9779 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9780 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9781 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9782 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9783 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9785 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9786 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9789 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9792 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9795 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9796 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9798 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9801 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9804 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9807 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9808 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9809 other error libraries.
9812 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9815 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9816 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9820 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9821 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9822 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9823 the new set of documenation files.
9824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9826 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9827 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9828 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9829 number of arguments.
9830 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9832 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9835 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9836 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9837 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9839 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9842 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9846 unixware-2.0-pentium
9850 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9851 before they are needed.
9854 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9858 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9860 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9861 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9862 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9864 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9867 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9868 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9871 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9872 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9873 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9875 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9876 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9877 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9879 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9880 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9882 *) Updated the README file.
9883 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9885 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9886 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9887 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9889 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9890 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9891 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9893 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9894 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9895 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9896 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9897 o removed obsolete TODO file
9898 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9899 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9901 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9902 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9903 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

9906 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9907 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9909 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9912 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9913 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9914 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9916 [The OpenSSL Project]
9919 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9921 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9924 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9927 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9928 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9931 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9932 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9936 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9938 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9940 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9943 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9946 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9949 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9952 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9955 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9958 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9961 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9964 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9967 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9970 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9973 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9976 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9979 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9982 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9985 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9988 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9991 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9992 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9993 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9996 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9997 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10000 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10003 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10006 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10007 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10010 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10013 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10016 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10017 bytes sent in the client random.
