5 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
8 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
9 to output in BER and PEM format.
12 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
13 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
14 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
15 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
16 -macopt options to dgst utility.
19 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
20 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
21 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
25 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
26 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
27 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
28 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
29 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
30 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
31 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
32 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
35 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
36 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
37 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
38 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
40 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
41 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
42 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
46 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
47 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
48 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
49 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
50 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
51 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
52 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
53 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
54 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
56 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
57 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
58 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
59 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
60 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
61 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
62 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
63 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
64 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
65 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
66 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
69 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
70 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
71 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
73 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
74 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
78 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
79 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
80 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
83 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
84 it yet and it is largely untested.
87 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
90 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
91 when OPENSSL_NO_FCAST is set: some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject
92 their use. Safestack is reimplemented using inline functions: tests show
93 that these calls are typically optimized away by compilers so they have
94 no additional overhead. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
97 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
100 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
101 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
102 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
103 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
106 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
107 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
108 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
109 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
110 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
113 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
114 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
117 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
118 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
119 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
120 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
123 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
124 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
125 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
126 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
129 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
130 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
133 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
134 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
135 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
136 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
139 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
140 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
141 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
144 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
148 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
149 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
152 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
153 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
154 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
158 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
159 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
160 to free up any added signature OIDs.
163 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
164 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
165 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
166 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
169 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
170 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
171 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
172 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
173 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
174 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
175 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
176 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
178 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
179 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
180 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
182 we now have additional functions
184 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
185 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
186 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
188 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
189 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
193 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
194 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
195 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
196 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
197 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
198 the array representation useful in a more general context.
201 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
202 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
203 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
204 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
205 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
207 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
208 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
209 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
210 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
211 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
214 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
215 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
216 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
217 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
219 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
220 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
221 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
222 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
223 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
229 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
230 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
234 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
235 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
238 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
239 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
242 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
243 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
244 functional reference processing.
247 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
248 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
252 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
253 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
254 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
257 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
258 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
259 application to support multiple signers.
262 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
266 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
267 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
268 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
269 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
270 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
273 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
277 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
278 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
279 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
280 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
284 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
285 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
286 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
287 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
288 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
289 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
290 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
291 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
294 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
295 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
296 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
297 between digests and public key types.
300 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
301 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
302 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
303 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
306 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
307 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
311 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
314 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
318 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
319 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
320 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
321 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
326 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
328 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
330 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
332 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
333 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
334 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
335 functionality for RSA.
338 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
339 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
340 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
343 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
344 key API, doesn't do much yet.
347 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
348 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
349 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
352 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
353 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
356 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
357 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
360 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
361 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
365 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
366 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
367 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
371 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
372 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
373 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
374 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
375 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
376 of public and private key structures.
379 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
380 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
383 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
384 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
385 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
388 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
392 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
393 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
395 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
397 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
399 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
400 and response verification functionality.
401 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
403 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
404 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
405 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
406 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
407 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
408 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
409 server_name extension.
411 New functions (subject to change):
414 SSL_get_servername_type()
417 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
419 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
420 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
421 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
422 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
423 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
425 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
427 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
428 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
429 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
430 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
431 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
432 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
435 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
437 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
440 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
441 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
442 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
443 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
444 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
447 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
448 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
452 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
453 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
454 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
455 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
458 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
459 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
460 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
461 using the maximum available value.
464 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
465 in addition to the text details.
468 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
469 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
470 handle several customised structures at all.
473 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
474 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
475 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
478 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
481 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
482 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
483 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
486 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
487 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
488 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
491 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
492 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
496 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
499 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
502 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [xx XXX xxxx]
504 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
507 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
508 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
510 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
511 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
512 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
514 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
515 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
516 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
517 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
519 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
520 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
521 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
524 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
525 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
526 information. For detailed background information, see
527 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
528 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
529 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
530 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
531 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
532 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
533 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
534 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
535 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
536 remove a conditional branch.
538 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
539 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
540 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
541 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
542 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
543 remains as a deprecated alias.
545 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
546 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
547 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
548 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
550 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
551 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
552 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
553 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
554 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
555 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
556 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
557 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
559 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
561 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
562 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
563 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
564 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
565 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
566 with applications using a single external cache for quite
567 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
568 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
569 in a different context.
572 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
573 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
574 authentication-only ciphersuites.
577 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
579 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
580 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
581 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
582 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
583 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
586 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
587 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
588 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
589 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
590 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
591 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
594 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
595 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
596 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
597 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
598 message has informed the client about his choice.)
601 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
602 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
604 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
605 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
606 Improve header file function name parsing.
609 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
610 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
613 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
615 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
616 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
617 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
619 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
620 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
622 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
623 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
625 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
626 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
627 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
629 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
630 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
631 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
632 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
633 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
634 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
635 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
636 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
637 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
639 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
640 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
641 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
642 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
643 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
645 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
646 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
647 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
648 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
649 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
650 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
651 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
652 multiple values to extend the available space.
656 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
658 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
659 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
661 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
664 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
665 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
666 undesirable limitations.
667 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
669 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
670 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
671 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
672 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
673 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
674 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
675 to avoid potential handshake problems.
678 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
680 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
681 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
682 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
684 The latter two were purportedly from
685 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
688 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
689 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
690 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
693 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
694 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
697 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
698 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
699 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
700 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
702 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
703 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
704 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
707 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
708 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
709 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
710 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
711 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
712 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
715 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
717 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
718 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
721 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
722 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
724 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
725 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
726 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
727 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
730 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
731 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
734 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
735 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
736 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
737 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
738 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
739 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
740 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
744 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
745 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
746 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
747 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
750 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
751 under VC++ build system.
754 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
755 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
758 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
760 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
761 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
762 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
763 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
764 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
766 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
767 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
768 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
770 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
773 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
774 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
777 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
778 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
780 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
783 *) Extended Windows CE support.
784 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
786 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
787 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
790 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
791 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
795 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
797 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
800 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
803 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
804 key into the same file any more.
807 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
810 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
811 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
813 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
814 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
817 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
818 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
819 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
820 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
821 this only applies when building 'shared'.
822 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
824 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
825 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
826 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
829 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
830 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
831 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
832 - add new function for parameter creation
833 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
834 BN_BLINDING parameters
835 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
836 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
837 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
841 *) Add support for DTLS.
842 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
844 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
845 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
848 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
849 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
852 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
853 the apps/openssl applications.
856 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
857 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
858 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
861 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
862 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
864 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
865 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
867 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
868 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
869 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
870 avoid this algorithm.)
874 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
875 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
876 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
879 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
880 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
883 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
884 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
885 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
888 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
890 The blank line is mandatory.
894 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
895 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
899 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
900 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
902 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
903 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
904 to support policy checking and print out.
907 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
908 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
909 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
910 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
912 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
915 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
916 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
918 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
919 implementation contributed by IBM.
920 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
922 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
923 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
924 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
925 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
927 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
928 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
930 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
931 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
932 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
933 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
934 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
935 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
938 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
939 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
940 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
941 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
942 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
943 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
944 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
947 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
950 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
951 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
952 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
953 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
954 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
955 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
956 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
957 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
960 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
961 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
962 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
963 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
966 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
969 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
972 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
973 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
974 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
975 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
976 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
977 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
981 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
982 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
985 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
986 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
987 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
990 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
991 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
992 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
996 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
997 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1000 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1001 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1002 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1003 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1006 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1007 initialised value as BN_new().
1008 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1010 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1013 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1014 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1015 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1016 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1017 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1018 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1019 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1020 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1021 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1022 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1023 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1024 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1025 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1026 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1027 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1029 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1030 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1031 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1032 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1035 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1036 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1037 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1038 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1039 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1040 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1041 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1042 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1043 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1046 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1047 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1048 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1049 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1050 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1051 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1052 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1055 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1056 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1057 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1058 these have been updated also.
1061 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1062 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1063 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1064 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1065 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1069 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1070 structure of type "other".
1073 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1074 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1075 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1076 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1077 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1078 situation in the script.
1079 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1081 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1082 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1083 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1084 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1085 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1086 used as premaster secret.
1087 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1089 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1090 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1091 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1093 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1094 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1096 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1097 control of the error stack.
1100 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1103 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1104 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1105 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1106 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1109 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1110 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1111 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1114 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1115 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1116 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1120 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1121 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1122 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1123 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1126 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1127 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1128 the following flags are defined:
1130 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1131 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1132 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1135 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1136 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1137 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1138 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1142 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1143 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1144 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1145 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1146 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1149 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1150 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1151 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1154 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1155 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1156 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1157 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1158 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1159 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1162 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1166 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1169 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1172 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1175 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1176 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1177 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1178 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1179 default implementation more easily.
1182 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1186 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1187 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1190 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1191 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1192 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1193 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1195 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1196 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1197 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1198 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1201 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1202 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1206 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1207 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1208 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1209 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1210 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1211 scalar * generator).
1212 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1214 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1215 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1216 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1220 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1221 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1222 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1223 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1224 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1225 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1226 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1227 linker additions, eg;
1228 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1231 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1232 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1233 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1236 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1237 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1238 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1242 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1243 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1244 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1245 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1248 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1249 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1250 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1251 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1252 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1253 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1254 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1255 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1256 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1257 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1259 Example for using the new callback interface:
1261 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1265 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1267 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1268 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1269 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1270 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1271 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1272 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1277 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1278 available to TLS with the number defined in
1279 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1282 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1283 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1285 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1286 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1287 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1288 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1290 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1291 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1293 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1294 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1298 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1299 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1302 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1303 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1304 and a macro that behave like
1305 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1307 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1310 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1311 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1312 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1314 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1316 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1319 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1320 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1321 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1322 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1324 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1325 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1326 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1327 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1328 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1329 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1330 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1331 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1333 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1334 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1337 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1338 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1340 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1341 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1342 files while avoiding the low level API.
1344 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1345 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1346 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1347 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1349 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1350 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1351 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1352 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1353 instead of the low level API.
1356 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1357 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1358 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1359 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1360 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1363 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1364 down to the template encoder.
1367 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1368 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1371 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1372 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1373 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1374 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1376 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1377 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1379 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1380 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1382 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1383 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1386 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1387 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1388 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1391 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1392 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1394 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1395 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1397 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1398 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1401 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1405 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1406 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1407 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1408 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1409 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1410 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1412 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1413 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1416 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1417 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1418 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1419 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1420 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1421 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1422 various internal method names.)
1424 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1425 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1427 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1428 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1430 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1431 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1433 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1434 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1435 methods are undefined.
1437 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1438 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1440 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1441 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1442 length of the modulus.
1444 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1445 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1447 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1448 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1450 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1451 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1453 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1454 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1455 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1458 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1459 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1460 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1461 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1463 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1464 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1465 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1466 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1468 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1469 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1471 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1472 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1473 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1474 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1475 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1477 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1478 This applies to the following functions:
1483 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1484 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1486 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1487 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1491 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1496 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1498 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1499 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1500 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1501 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1502 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1504 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1505 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1507 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1508 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1509 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1511 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1512 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1514 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1515 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1516 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1517 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1518 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1520 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1522 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1523 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1524 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1525 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1526 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1527 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1528 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1529 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1530 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1531 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1532 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1533 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1535 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1538 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1539 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1540 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1541 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1543 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1544 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1545 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1546 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1551 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1552 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1553 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1554 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1555 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1557 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1558 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1559 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1560 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1561 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1562 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1563 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1564 adding different types of curves.
1565 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1567 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1568 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1569 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1572 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1573 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1575 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1576 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1577 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1578 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1580 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1582 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1583 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1585 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1586 library. Most notably,
1587 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1588 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1589 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1590 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1591 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1592 extracted before the specific public key;
1593 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1594 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1596 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1597 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1599 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1600 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1601 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1602 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1604 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1605 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1606 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1608 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1609 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1610 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1611 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1612 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1613 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1617 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1619 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1620 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1621 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1622 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1623 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1624 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1625 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1626 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1627 in a different context.
1630 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1632 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1634 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1636 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1637 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1638 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1641 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1642 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1643 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1646 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1649 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1650 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1653 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1654 run algorithm test programs.
1657 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1660 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1661 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1662 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1663 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1664 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1667 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1668 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1671 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1673 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1674 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1675 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1677 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1678 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1680 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1681 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1683 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1684 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1685 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1687 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1688 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1689 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1690 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1691 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1692 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1693 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1696 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1698 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1699 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1701 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1702 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1703 undesirable limitations.
1704 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1706 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1708 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1709 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1710 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1712 The latter two were purportedly from
1713 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1716 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1717 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1718 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1721 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1722 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1725 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1727 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1728 module in FIPS mode.
1731 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1734 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1735 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1736 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1737 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1740 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1742 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1743 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1744 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1745 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1746 the difference induced by this change.
1749 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1751 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1752 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1753 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1754 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1755 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1757 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1758 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1759 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1761 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1762 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1765 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1766 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1767 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1768 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1772 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1773 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1774 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1775 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1776 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1778 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1779 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1780 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1781 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1782 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1783 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1785 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1787 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1788 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1789 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1790 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1791 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1794 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1798 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1799 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1800 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1803 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1804 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1805 structures constant.
1808 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1810 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1813 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1814 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1815 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1816 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1817 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1818 some needed definitions.
1821 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1824 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1825 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1826 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1827 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1830 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1832 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1833 server and client random values. Previously
1834 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1835 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1837 This change has negligible security impact because:
1839 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1842 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1845 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1846 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1849 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1852 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1854 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1857 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1858 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1859 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1861 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1864 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1865 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1868 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1869 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1870 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1872 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1875 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1876 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1877 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1881 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1882 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1883 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1884 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1886 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1887 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1888 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1889 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1893 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1895 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1896 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1897 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1898 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1899 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1902 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1905 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1906 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1908 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1909 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1910 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1911 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1912 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1913 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1914 rather than being initialized to 1.
1917 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1919 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1920 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1921 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1923 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1925 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1927 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1928 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1929 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1930 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1931 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1932 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1935 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1936 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1937 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1938 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1939 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1943 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1944 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1945 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1946 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1947 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1950 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1951 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1952 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1956 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1957 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1959 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1962 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1964 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1966 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1967 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1969 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1971 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1972 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1976 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1977 exiting on the first error in a request.
1980 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1981 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1985 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1986 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1987 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1988 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1990 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1991 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1994 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1995 blocks during encryption.
1998 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1999 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2000 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2001 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2005 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2006 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2007 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2008 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2009 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2013 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2015 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2016 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2017 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2018 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2021 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2022 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2023 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2024 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2025 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2027 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2028 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2029 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2030 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2031 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2032 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2033 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2034 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2035 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2038 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2039 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2040 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2041 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2044 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2045 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2048 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2050 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2051 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2052 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2053 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2054 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2056 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2057 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2058 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2060 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2061 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2062 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2063 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2064 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2066 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2067 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2068 used by default when no-err is given.
2071 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2072 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2074 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2075 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2076 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2077 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2078 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2080 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2081 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2082 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2083 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2085 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2087 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2089 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2091 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2092 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2093 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2094 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2098 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2099 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2101 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2102 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2105 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2106 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2107 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2108 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2111 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2112 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2113 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2114 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2115 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2116 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2117 followup to PR #377.
2120 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2121 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2124 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2125 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2126 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2127 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2129 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2131 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2134 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2135 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2136 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2137 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2139 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2143 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2144 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2148 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2149 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2150 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2151 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2152 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2153 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2155 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2156 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2157 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2158 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2159 have to be made anyway).
2162 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2163 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2164 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2167 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2168 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2169 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2172 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2173 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2174 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2176 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2177 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2178 edit numbers of the version.
2179 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2181 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2182 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2183 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2185 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2188 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2189 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2190 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2192 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2193 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2195 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2196 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2198 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2199 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2201 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2202 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2204 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2206 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2208 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2209 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2210 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2212 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2213 representations in a platform independent manner.
2214 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2216 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2217 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2218 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2220 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2222 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2224 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2225 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2227 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2229 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2231 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2232 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2233 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2235 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2237 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2239 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2240 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2242 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2245 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2246 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2248 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2249 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2251 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2253 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2255 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2256 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2258 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2259 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2261 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2262 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2264 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2266 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2267 the 0.9.6 release series:
2269 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2270 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2272 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2274 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2277 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2278 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2280 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2281 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2283 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2284 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2285 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2286 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2288 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2289 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2290 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2292 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2293 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2294 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2295 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2297 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2298 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2299 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2302 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2303 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2304 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2305 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2306 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2307 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2308 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2309 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2312 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2313 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2314 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2317 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2318 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2319 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2320 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2321 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2323 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2324 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2326 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2327 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2330 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2331 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2332 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2333 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2334 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2335 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2338 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2339 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2340 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2343 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2344 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2347 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2348 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2349 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2350 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2351 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2352 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2353 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2356 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2357 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2358 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2359 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2360 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2361 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2364 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2365 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2366 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2367 declaration has been changed from
2370 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2371 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2372 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2373 has been changed into
2374 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2376 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2377 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2378 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2380 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2381 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2383 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2384 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2385 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2386 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2387 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2388 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2389 always load it have also been added.
2392 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2393 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2394 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2396 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2398 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2399 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2400 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2402 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2403 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2404 command line option can be used to specify an
2408 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2409 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2412 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2413 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2414 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2417 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2418 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2419 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2420 to work with the new engine framework.
2421 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2423 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2424 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2425 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2426 to work with the new engine framework.
2429 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2430 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2431 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2433 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2434 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2436 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2437 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2438 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2439 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2441 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2443 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2444 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2446 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2447 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2449 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2450 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2451 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2454 *) Add new functions
2456 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2457 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2458 These are similar to
2461 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2462 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2463 still in the error queue.
2464 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2466 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2468 default_algorithms = ALL
2469 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2472 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2475 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2478 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2479 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2480 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2481 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2483 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2484 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2486 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2487 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2489 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2490 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2493 *) New functions/macros
2495 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2496 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2497 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2498 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2500 to request calling a callback function
2502 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2503 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2505 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2506 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2507 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2508 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2509 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2510 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2511 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2512 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2513 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2514 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2516 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2517 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2520 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2521 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2522 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2523 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2524 the configuration scripts.
2526 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2527 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2528 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2530 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2531 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2533 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2534 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2535 when reusing an existing buffer.
2538 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2539 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2542 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2543 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2546 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2547 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2548 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2549 has the same effect.
2550 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2552 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2553 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2554 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2555 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2556 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2557 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2560 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2561 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2562 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2563 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2565 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2566 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2567 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2568 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2570 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2571 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2574 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2575 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2576 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2577 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2578 default), and then completely removed.
2581 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2582 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2583 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2584 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2585 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2586 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2587 particular extension is supported.
2590 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2591 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2594 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2595 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2596 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2597 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2598 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2599 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2600 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2601 requires the destination to be valid.
2603 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2604 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2607 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2608 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2609 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2612 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2613 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2615 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2616 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2617 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2618 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2619 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2620 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2621 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2622 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2623 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2624 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2625 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2626 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2627 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2628 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2629 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2630 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2631 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2632 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2633 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2637 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2640 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2641 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2642 become part of libeay.num as well.
2645 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2646 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2647 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2648 false once a handshake has been completed.
2649 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2650 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2651 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2652 client has followed the request.)
2655 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2656 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2657 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2658 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2660 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2661 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2662 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2665 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2668 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2669 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2670 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2673 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2674 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2677 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2678 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2679 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2680 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2683 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2684 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2685 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2686 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2687 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2688 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2691 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2692 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2693 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2694 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2695 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2696 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2697 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2698 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2701 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2702 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2705 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2708 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2709 md_data void pointer.
2712 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2713 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2714 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2715 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2716 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2717 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2720 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2721 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2722 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2723 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2724 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2725 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2726 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2727 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2728 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2729 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2730 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2731 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2732 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2733 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2734 rather than letting it slide.
2736 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2737 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2738 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2741 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2742 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2743 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2744 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2745 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2746 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2747 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2748 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2749 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2752 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2753 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2754 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2755 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2756 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2758 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2761 *) Add EVP test program.
2764 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2767 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2768 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2769 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2770 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2771 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2774 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2775 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2776 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2777 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2778 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2779 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2780 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2782 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2783 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2784 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2789 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2790 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2791 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2792 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2793 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2797 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2798 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2799 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2800 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2803 des_key_schedule ks;
2805 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2806 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2808 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2811 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2812 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2813 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2814 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2815 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2816 functions prevents this.
2819 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2822 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2823 correct _ecb suffix.
2826 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2827 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2828 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2829 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2830 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2833 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2836 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2837 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2838 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2839 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2841 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2842 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2844 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2845 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2846 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2847 via Richard Levitte]
2849 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2850 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2851 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2852 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2855 *) Speed up EVP routines.

2873 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2874 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2876 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2877 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2878 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2879 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2880 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2881 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2884 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2885 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2888 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2889 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2890 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2891 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2893 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2894 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2895 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2896 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2897 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2898 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2902 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2903 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2904 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2905 and interrupts/cancellations.
2908 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2909 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2912 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2913 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2914 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2916 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2917 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2921 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2922 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2923 than this minimum value is recommended.
2926 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2927 that are easily reachable.
2930 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2931 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2933 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2935 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2936 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2937 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2938 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2941 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2942 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2943 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2946 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2947 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2948 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2949 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2950 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2951 internally such as S/MIME.
2953 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2954 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2955 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2957 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2961 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2962 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2963 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2964 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2966 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2968 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2970 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2971 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2972 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2976 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2977 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2978 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2979 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2980 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2981 a window system and the like.
2984 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2985 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2988 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2989 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2990 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2991 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2992 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2993 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2994 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2995 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2996 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3000 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3001 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3005 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3006 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3007 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3008 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3009 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3010 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3011 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3012 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3015 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3016 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3017 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3018 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3019 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3020 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3021 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3022 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3023 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3024 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3025 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3026 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3027 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3028 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3029 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3030 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3031 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3034 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3035 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3036 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3037 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3038 internal engine_int.h header.
3041 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3042 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3043 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3044 modify their own ones).
3047 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3048 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3049 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3050 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3051 later on via ctrl() commands.
3052 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3053 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3054 structural references.
3055 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3056 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3057 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3058 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3059 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3060 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3061 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3062 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3063 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3064 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3065 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3066 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3069 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3070 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3071 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3072 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3073 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3074 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3075 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3076 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3079 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3080 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3083 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3084 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3087 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3088 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3089 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3090 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3091 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3092 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3093 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3096 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3097 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3098 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3099 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3100 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3102 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3103 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3107 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3109 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3110 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3111 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3113 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3114 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3116 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3117 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3118 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3120 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3121 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3123 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3124 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3126 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3128 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3129 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3130 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3133 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3134 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3137 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3138 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3139 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3140 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3141 is 40 of more characters long.
3144 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3145 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3149 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3150 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3153 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3154 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3158 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3160 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3161 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3164 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3166 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3167 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3168 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3170 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3171 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3173 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3176 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3180 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3181 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3182 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3183 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3185 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3187 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3188 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3190 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3191 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3192 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3193 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3194 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3195 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3197 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3198 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3200 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3201 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3203 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3204 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3206 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3207 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3208 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3209 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3211 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3212 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3214 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3215 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3217 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3218 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3219 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3220 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3221 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3224 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3225 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3226 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3227 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3230 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3231 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3232 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3236 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3237 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3238 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3239 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3240 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3241 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3242 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3243 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3247 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3248 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3251 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3252 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3253 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3254 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3257 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3258 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3259 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3260 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3261 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3262 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3263 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3264 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3265 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3266 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3269 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3270 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3271 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3272 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3273 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3274 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3275 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3276 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3278 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3279 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3280 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3281 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3284 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3285 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3286 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3287 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3289 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3290 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3291 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3292 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3293 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3297 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3298 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3299 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3300 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3304 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3305 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3306 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3309 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3310 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3311 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3312 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3313 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3316 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3319 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3320 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3321 option to ocsp utility.
3324 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3325 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3326 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3327 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3328 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3329 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3330 the request is nonce-less.
3333 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3334 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3335 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3338 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3339 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3340 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3343 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3344 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3345 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3346 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3347 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3350 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3351 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3355 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3356 additional certificates supplied.
3359 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3360 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3364 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3365 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3368 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3369 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3370 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3371 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3372 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3373 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3374 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3375 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3376 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3378 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3379 request to response.
3382 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3383 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3384 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3385 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3386 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3387 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3388 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3389 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3390 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3391 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3392 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3395 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3396 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3397 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3398 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3401 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3402 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3404 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3405 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3406 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3409 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3410 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3411 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3412 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3413 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3415 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3416 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3417 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3420 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3421 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3422 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3423 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3424 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3425 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3426 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3427 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3429 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3430 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3431 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3432 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3433 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3434 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3437 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3438 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3439 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3440 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3441 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3442 printout format cleaned up.
3445 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3446 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3447 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3448 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3449 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3450 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3451 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3452 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3455 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3456 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3457 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3458 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3459 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3460 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3461 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3462 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3465 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3466 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3467 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3468 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3470 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3472 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3473 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3474 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3475 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3478 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3479 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3480 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3481 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3483 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3485 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3486 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3487 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3488 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3490 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3491 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3493 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3494 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3495 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3498 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3499 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3500 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3503 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3504 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3505 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3506 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3507 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3508 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3509 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3510 functions are provided:
3512 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3513 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3514 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3515 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3517 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3518 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3519 extended allocation function is enabled.
3520 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3521 a conventional allocation function is enabled.

3524 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3525 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3526 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3527 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3528 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3531 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3532 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3533 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3535 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3536 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3537 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3540 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3541 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3542 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3543 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3544 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3545 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3546 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3547 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3548 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3551 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3552 provide utility functions which an application needing
3553 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3554 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3555 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3557 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3558 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3559 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3560 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3561 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3562 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3563 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3564 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3565 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3567 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3568 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3569 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3570 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3573 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3574 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3575 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3576 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3577 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3578 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3579 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3580 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
