5 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
9 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
11 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
12 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
14 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
15 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
16 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
17 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
18 this only applies when building 'shared'.
19 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
21 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
22 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
23 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
26 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
27 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
28 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
29 - add new function for parameter creation
30 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
31 BN_BLINDING parameters
32 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
33 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
34 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
38 *) Add support for DTLS.
39 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
41 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
42 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
45 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
46 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
49 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
50 the apps/openssl applications.
53 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
54 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
55 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
58 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
59 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
61 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
62 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
64 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
65 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
66 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
67 avoid this algorithm.)
71 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
72 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
73 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
76 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
77 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
80 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
81 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
82 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
85 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
87 The blank line is mandatory.
91 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
92 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
96 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
97 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
99 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
100 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
101 to support policy checking and print out.
104 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
105 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
106 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
107 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
109 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
112 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
113 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
115 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
116 implementation contributed by IBM.
117 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
119 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
120 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
121 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
122 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
124 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
125 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
127 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
128 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
129 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
130 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
131 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
132 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
135 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
136 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
137 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
138 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
139 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
140 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
141 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
144 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
147 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
148 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
149 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
150 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
151 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
152 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
153 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
154 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
157 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
158 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
159 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
160 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
163 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
166 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
169 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
170 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
171 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
172 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
173 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
174 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
178 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
179 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
182 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
183 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
184 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
187 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
188 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
189 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
193 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
194 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
197 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
198 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
199 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
200 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
203 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
204 initialised value as BN_new().
205 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
207 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
210 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
211 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
212 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
213 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
214 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
215 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
216 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
217 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
218 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
219 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
220 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
221 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
222 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
223 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
224 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
226 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
227 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
228 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
229 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
232 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
233 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
234 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
235 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
236 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
237 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
238 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
239 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
240 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
243 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
244 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
245 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
246 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
247 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
248 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
249 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
252 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
253 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
254 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
255 these have been updated also.
258 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
259 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
260 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
261 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
262 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
266 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
267 structure of type "other".
270 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
271 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
272 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
273 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
274 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
275 situation in the script.
276 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
278 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
279 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
280 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
281 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
282 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
283 used as premaster secret.
284 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
286 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
287 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
288 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
290 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
291 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
293 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
294 control of the error stack.
297 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
300 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
301 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
302 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
303 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
306 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
307 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
308 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
311 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
312 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
313 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
317 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
318 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
319 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
320 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
323 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
324 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
325 the following flags are defined:
327 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
328 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
329 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
332 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
333 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
334 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
335 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
339 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
340 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
341 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
342 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
343 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
346 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
347 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
348 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
351 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
352 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
353 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
354 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
355 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
356 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
359 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
363 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
366 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
369 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
372 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
373 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
374 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
375 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
376 default implementation more easily.
379 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
383 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
384 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
387 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
388 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
389 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
390 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
392 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
393 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
394 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
398 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
399 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
403 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
404 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
405 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
406 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
407 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
409 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
411 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
412 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
413 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
417 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
418 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
419 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
420 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
421 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
422 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
423 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
424 linker additions, eg;
425 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
428 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
429 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
430 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
433 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
434 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
435 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
439 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
440 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
441 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
442 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
445 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
446 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
447 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
448 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
449 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
450 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
451 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
452 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
453 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
454 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
456 Example for using the new callback interface:
458 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
462 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
464 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
465 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
466 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
467 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
468 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
469 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
474 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
475 available to TLS with the number defined in
476 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
479 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
480 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
482 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
483 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
484 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
485 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
487 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
488 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
490 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
491 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
495 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
496 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
499 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
500 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
501 and a macro that behave like
502 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
504 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
507 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
508 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
509 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
511 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
513 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
516 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
517 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
518 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
519 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
521 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
522 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
523 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
524 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
525 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
526 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
527 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
528 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
530 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
531 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
534 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
535 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
537 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
538 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
539 files while avoiding the low level API.
541 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
542 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
543 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
544 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
546 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
547 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
548 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
549 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
550 instead of the low level API.
553 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
554 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
555 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
556 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
557 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
560 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
561 down to the template encoder.
564 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
565 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
568 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
569 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
570 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
571 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
573 *) Add ECDH engine support.
574 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
576 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
577 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
579 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
580 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
583 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
584 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
585 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
588 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
589 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
591 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
592 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
594 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
595 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
598 EC_GF2m_simple_method
602 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
603 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
604 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
605 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
606 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
607 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
609 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
610 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
613 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
614 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
615 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
616 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
617 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
618 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
619 various internal method names.)
621 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
622 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
624 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
625 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
627 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
628 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
630 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
631 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
632 methods are undefined.
634 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
635 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
637 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
638 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
639 length of the modulus.
641 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
642 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
644 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
645 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
647 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
648 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
650 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
651 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
652 used) in the following functions [macros]:
655 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
656 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
657 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
658 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
660 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
661 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
662 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
663 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
665 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
666 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
668 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
669 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
670 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
671 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
672 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
674 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
675 This applies to the following functions:
680 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
681 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
684 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
688 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
693 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
695 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
696 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
697 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
698 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
699 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
701 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
702 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
704 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
705 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
706 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
708 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
709 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
711 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
712 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
713 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
714 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
715 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
717 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
719 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
720 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
721 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
722 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
723 These control ASN1 encoding details:
724 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
725 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
726 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
727 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
728 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
729 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
730 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
732 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
736 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
737 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
738 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
740 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
741 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
742 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
743 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
750 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
751 EC_POINT_oct2point().
752 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
754 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
755 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
756 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
758 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
759 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
760 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
761 adding different types of curves.
762 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
764 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
765 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
766 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
769 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
770 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
772 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
773 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
774 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
775 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
777 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
779 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
780 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
782 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
783 library. Most notably,
784 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
785 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
786 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
787 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
788 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
789 extracted before the specific public key;
790 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
791 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
793 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
794 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
796 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
797 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
798 EC_get_builtin_curves().
799 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
801 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
802 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
803 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
805 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
806 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
807 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
808 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
809 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
810 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
814 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [XX xxx XXXX]
816 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
817 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
820 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
821 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
822 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
823 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
827 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
828 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
829 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
830 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
831 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
833 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
834 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
835 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
836 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
837 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
838 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
840 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
842 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
843 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
844 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
845 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
846 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
849 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
853 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
854 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
855 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
858 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
859 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
863 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
865 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
866 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
867 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
868 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
869 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
870 some needed definitions.
873 *) Undo Cygwin change.
876 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
877 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
878 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
879 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
882 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
884 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
885 server and client random values. Previously
886 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
887 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
889 This change has negligible security impact because:
891 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
894 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
897 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
898 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
901 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
904 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
906 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
909 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
910 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
911 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
913 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
916 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
917 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
920 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
921 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
922 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
924 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
927 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
928 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
929 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
933 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
934 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
935 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
936 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
938 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
939 has chosen to ignore this fault)
940 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
941 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
945 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
947 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
948 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
949 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
950 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
951 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
954 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
957 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
958 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
960 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
961 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
962 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
963 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
964 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
965 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
966 rather than being initialized to 1.
969 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
971 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
972 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
973 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
975 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
977 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
979 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
980 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
981 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
982 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
983 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
984 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
987 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
988 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
989 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
990 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
991 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
995 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
996 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
997 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
998 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
999 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1002 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1003 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1004 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1008 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1009 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1011 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1014 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1016 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1018 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1019 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
1021 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
1023 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1024 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1028 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1029 exiting on the first error in a request.
1032 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1033 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1037 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1038 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1039 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1040 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1042 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1043 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1046 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1047 blocks during encryption.
1050 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1051 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1052 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1053 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1057 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1058 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1059 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1060 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1061 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1065 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1067 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1068 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1069 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1070 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1073 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1074 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1075 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1076 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1077 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1079 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1080 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1081 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1082 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1083 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1084 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1085 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1086 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1087 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1090 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1091 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1092 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1093 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1096 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1097 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1100 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1102 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1103 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1104 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1105 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1106 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
1108 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1109 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1110 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1112 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1113 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1114 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1115 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1116 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1118 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1119 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1120 used by default when no-err is given.
1123 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1124 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1126 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1127 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1128 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1129 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1130 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1132 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1133 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1134 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1135 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1137 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1139 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1141 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1143 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1144 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1145 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1146 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1150 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1151 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1153 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1154 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1157 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1158 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1159 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1160 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1163 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1164 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1165 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1166 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1167 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1168 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1169 followup to PR #377.
1172 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1173 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1176 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1177 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1178 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1201 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1202 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1203 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.

1205 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part

1208 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1209 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1210 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1211 have to be made anyway).

1215 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1216 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.

1244 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1245 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1247 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1248 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1250 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1251 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1253 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1256 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1258 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1260 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1261 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1262 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1264 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1265 representations in a platform independent manner.
1266 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1268 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1269 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1272 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1274 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1276 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1279 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1283 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1284 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1285 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1287 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1291 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1292 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1294 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1295 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1297 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1300 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1301 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1303 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1305 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1307 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1308 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1310 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1311 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1313 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1314 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1316 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1318 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1319 the 0.9.6 release series:
1321 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1322 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1324 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1326 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1329 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1330 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1332 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1333 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1335 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1336 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1337 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1338 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1340 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1341 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1342 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1344 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1345 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1346 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1347 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1349 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1350 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1351 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1354 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1355 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1356 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1357 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1358 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1359 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1360 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1361 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1364 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1365 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1366 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1369 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1370 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1371 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1372 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1373 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1375 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1376 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1378 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1379 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1382 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1383 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1384 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1385 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1386 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1387 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1390 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1391 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1392 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1395 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1396 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1399 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1400 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1401 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1402 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1403 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1404 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1405 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1408 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1409 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1410 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1411 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1412 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1413 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1416 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1417 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1418 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1419 declaration has been changed from
1422 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1423 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1424 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1425 has been changed into
1426 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1428 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1429 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1430 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1432 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1433 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1435 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1436 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1437 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1438 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1439 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1440 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1441 always load it have also been added.
1444 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1445 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1446 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1448 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1450 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1451 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1452 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1454 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1455 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1456 command line option can be used to specify an
1460 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1461 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1464 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1465 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1466 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1469 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1470 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1471 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1472 to work with the new engine framework.
1473 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1475 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1476 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1477 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1478 to work with the new engine framework.
1481 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1482 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1483 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1485 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1486 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1488 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1489 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1490 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1491 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1493 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1495 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1496 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1498 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1499 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1501 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1502 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1503 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1506 *) Add new functions
1508 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1509 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1510 These are similar to
1513 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1514 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1515 still in the error queue.
1516 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1518 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1520 default_algorithms = ALL
1521 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1524 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1527 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1530 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1531 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1532 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1533 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1535 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1536 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1538 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1539 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1541 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1542 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1545 *) New functions/macros
1547 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1548 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1549 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1550 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1552 to request calling a callback function
1554 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1555 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1557 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1558 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1559 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1560 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1561 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1562 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1563 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1564 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1565 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1566 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1568 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1569 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1572 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1573 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1574 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1575 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1576 the configuration scripts.
1578 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1579 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1580 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1582 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1583 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1585 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1586 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1587 when reusing an existing buffer.
1590 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1591 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1594 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1595 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1598 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1599 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1600 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1601 has the same effect.
1602 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1604 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1605 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1606 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1607 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1608 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1609 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1612 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1613 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1614 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1615 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1617 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1618 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1619 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1620 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1622 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1623 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1626 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1627 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1628 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1629 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1630 default), and then completely removed.
1633 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1634 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1635 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1636 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1637 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1638 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1639 particular extension is supported.
1642 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1643 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1646 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1647 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1648 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1649 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1650 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1651 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1652 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1653 requires the destination to be valid.
1655 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1656 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1659 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1660 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1661 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1664 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1665 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1667 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1668 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1669 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1670 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1671 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1672 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1673 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1674 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1675 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1676 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1677 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1678 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1679 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1680 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1681 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1682 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1683 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1684 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1685 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1689 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1692 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1693 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1694 become part of libeay.num as well.
1697 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1698 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1699 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1700 false once a handshake has been completed.
1701 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1702 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1703 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1704 client has followed the request.)
1707 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1708 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1709 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1710 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1712 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1713 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1714 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1717 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1720 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1721 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1722 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1725 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1726 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1729 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1730 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1731 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1732 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1735 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1736 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1737 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1738 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1739 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1740 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1743 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1744 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1745 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1746 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1747 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1748 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1749 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1750 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1753 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1754 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1757 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1760 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1761 md_data void pointer.
1764 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1765 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1766 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1767 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1768 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1769 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1772 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1773 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1774 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1775 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1776 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1777 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1778 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1779 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1780 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1781 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1782 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1783 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1784 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1785 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1786 rather than letting it slide.
1788 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1789 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1790 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1793 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1794 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1795 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1796 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1797 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1798 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1799 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1800 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1801 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1804 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1805 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1806 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1807 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1808 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1810 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1813 *) Add EVP test program.
1816 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1819 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1820 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1821 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1822 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1823 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1826 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1827 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1828 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1829 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1830 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1831 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1832 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1834 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1835 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1836 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1841 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1842 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1843 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1844 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1845 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1849 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1850 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1851 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1852 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1855 des_key_schedule ks;
1857 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1858 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1860 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1863 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1864 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1865 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1866 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1867 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1868 functions prevents this.
1871 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1874 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1875 correct _ecb suffix.
1878 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1879 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1880 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1881 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1882 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1885 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1888 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1889 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1890 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1891 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1893 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1894 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1896 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1897 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1898 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1899 via Richard Levitte]
1901 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1902 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1903 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1904 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1907 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1910 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
1911 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
1912 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

1922 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
1925 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1926 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1928 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1929 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1930 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1931 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1932 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1933 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1936 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1937 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1940 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1941 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1942 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1943 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1945 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1946 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1947 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1948 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1949 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1950 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1954 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1955 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1956 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1957 and interrupts/cancellations.
1960 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1961 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1964 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1965 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1966 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1968 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1969 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1973 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1974 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1975 than this minimum value is recommended.
1978 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1979 that are easily reachable.
1982 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1983 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1985 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1987 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1988 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1989 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1990 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1993 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1994 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1995 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1998 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1999 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2000 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2001 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2002 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2003 internally such as S/MIME.
2005 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2006 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2007 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2009 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2013 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2014 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2015 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2016 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2018 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2020 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2022 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2023 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2024 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2028 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2029 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2030 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2031 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2032 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2033 a window system and the like.
2036 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2037 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2040 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2041 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2042 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2043 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2044 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2045 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2046 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2047 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2048 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2052 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2053 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2057 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2058 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2059 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2060 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2061 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2062 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2063 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2064 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2067 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2068 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2069 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2070 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2071 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2072 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2073 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2074 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2075 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2076 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2077 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2078 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2079 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2080 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2081 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2082 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2083 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2086 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2087 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2088 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2089 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2090 internal engine_int.h header.
2093 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2094 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2095 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2096 modify their own ones).
2099 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2100 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2101 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2102 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2103 later on via ctrl() commands.
2104 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2105 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2106 structural references.
2107 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2108 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2109 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2110 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2111 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2112 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2113 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2114 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2115 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2116 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2117 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2118 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2121 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2122 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2123 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2124 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2125 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2126 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2127 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2128 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2131 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2132 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2135 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2136 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2139 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2140 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2141 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2142 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2143 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2144 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2145 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2148 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2149 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2150 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2151 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2152 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2154 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2155 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2159 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2161 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2162 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2163 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2165 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2166 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2168 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2169 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2170 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2172 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2173 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2175 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2176 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2178 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2180 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2181 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2182 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2185 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2186 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2189 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2190 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2191 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2192 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2193 is 40 of more characters long.
2196 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2197 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2201 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2202 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2205 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2206 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2210 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2212 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2213 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2216 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2218 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2219 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2220 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2222 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2223 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2225 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2228 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2232 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2233 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2234 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2235 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2237 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2239 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2240 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2242 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2243 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2244 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2245 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2246 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2247 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2249 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2250 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2252 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2253 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2255 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2256 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2258 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2259 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2260 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2261 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2263 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2264 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2266 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2267 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2269 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2270 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2271 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2272 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2273 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2276 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2277 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2278 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2279 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2282 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2283 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2284 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2288 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2289 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2290 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2291 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2292 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2293 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2294 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2295 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2299 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2300 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2303 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2304 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2305 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2306 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2309 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2310 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2311 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2312 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2313 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2314 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2315 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2316 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2317 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2318 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2321 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2322 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2323 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2324 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2325 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2326 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2327 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2328 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2330 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2331 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2332 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2333 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2336 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2337 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2338 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2339 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2341 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2342 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2343 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2344 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2345 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2349 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2350 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2351 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2352 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2356 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2357 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2358 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2361 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2362 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2363 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2364 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2365 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2368 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2371 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2372 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2373 option to ocsp utility.
2376 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2377 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2378 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2379 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2380 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2381 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2382 the request is nonce-less.
2385 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2386 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2387 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2390 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2391 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2392 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2395 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2396 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2397 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2398 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2399 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2402 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2403 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2407 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2408 additional certificates supplied.
2411 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2412 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2416 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2417 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2420 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2421 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2422 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2423 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2424 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2425 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2426 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2427 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2428 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2430 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2431 request to response.
2434 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2435 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2436 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2437 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2438 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2439 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2440 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2441 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2442 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2443 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2444 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2447 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2448 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2449 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2450 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2453 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2454 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2456 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2457 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2458 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2461 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2462 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2463 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2464 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2465 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2467 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2468 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2469 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2472 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2473 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2474 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2475 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2476 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2477 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2478 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2479 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2481 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2482 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2483 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2484 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2485 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2486 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2489 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2490 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2491 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2492 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2493 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2494 printout format cleaned up.
2497 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2498 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2499 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2500 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2501 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2502 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2503 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2504 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2507 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2508 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2509 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2510 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2511 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2512 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2513 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2514 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2517 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2518 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2519 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2520 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2522 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2524 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2525 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2526 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2527 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2530 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2531 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2532 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2533 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2535 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2537 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2538 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2539 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2540 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2542 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2543 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2545 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2546 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2547 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2550 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2551 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2552 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2555 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2556 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2557 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2558 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2559 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2560 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2561 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2562 functions are provided:
2564 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2565 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2566 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2567 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2569 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2570 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2571 extended allocation function is enabled.
2572 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2573 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2574 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2576 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2577 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2578 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2579 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2580 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2583 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2584 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2585 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2587 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2588 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2589 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2592 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2593 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2594 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2595 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2596 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2597 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2598 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2599 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2600 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2603 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2604 provide utility functions which an application needing
2605 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2606 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2607 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2609 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2610 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2611 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2612 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2613 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2614 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2615 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2616 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2617 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2619 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2620 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2621 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2622 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2625 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2626 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2627 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2628 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2629 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2630 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2631 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2632 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2633 will be added elsewhere.
2636 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2637 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2638 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2639 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2642 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2643 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2644 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2645 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2646 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2647 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2648 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2649 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2650 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2651 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2652 to produce the required SET OF.
2655 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2656 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2657 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2660 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2661 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2662 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2663 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2664 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2665 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2668 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2669 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2670 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2673 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2674 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2675 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2678 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2679 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2680 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2681 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2682 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2685 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2686 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2689 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2690 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2691 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2692 certifcates and CRLs.
2695 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2696 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2697 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2700 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2701 entries for variables.
2704 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2705 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2706 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2707 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2710 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2711 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2712 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2713 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2714 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2715 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2718 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2719 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2721 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2722 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2723 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2726 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2730 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2731 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2732 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2733 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2734 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2735 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2738 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2741 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2742 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2743 for now but they will eventually go away.
2746 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2747 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2748 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2749 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2750 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2751 has also been converted to the new form.
2754 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2755 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2756 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2757 for negative moduli.
2760 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2761 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2764 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2768 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2769 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2770 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2771 type-specific callbacks.
2774 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2776 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2777 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2779 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2780 in sections depending on the subject.
2783 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2787 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2788 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2789 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2790 be handled deterministically).
2791 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2793 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2794 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2795 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2798 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2801 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2802 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2803 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2804 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2805 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2808 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2809 sign of the number in question.
2811 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2813 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2814 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2815 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2816 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2817 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2820 *) New function BN_swap.
2823 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2824 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2825 results on negative inputs.
2828 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2829 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2830 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2833 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2834 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2835 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2836 and add new functions:
2845 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2849 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2851 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2852 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2854 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2855 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2856 be reduced modulo m.
2857 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2860 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2861 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2862 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2864 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2865 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2866 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2867 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2868 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2869 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2874 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2875 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2876 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2877 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2878 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2880 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2881 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2882 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2886 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2889 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2890 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2893 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2894 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2895 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2896 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2900 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2903 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2906 *) Add the following functions:
2908 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2910 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2912 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2914 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2915 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2916 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2917 libraries unless it's really needed.
2919 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2920 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2921 declarations (they differed!).
2924 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2927 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2930 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2933 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2934 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2937 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2938 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2939 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2941 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2942 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2945 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2948 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2951 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2954 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2955 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2956 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2958 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2959 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2960 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2961 different shared library filenames on each system.
2964 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2967 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2968 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2969 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2971 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2974 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2975 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2976 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2977 binary backward compatibility.
2978 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2979 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2980 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2984 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2985 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2986 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2987 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2991 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2994 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2995 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2996 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2997 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3001 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3004 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3006 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3007 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
3008 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3010 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3012 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3014 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3015 certain ASN.1 tags (CAN-2003-0851)
3018 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3020 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3022 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3023 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
3025 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3026 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3030 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3031 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3035 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3036 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3037 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3038 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3040 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3041 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3044 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3046 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3047 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3048 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3049 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3052 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3053 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3054 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3055 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3056 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3058 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3059 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3060 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3061 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3062 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3063 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3064 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3065 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3066 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3069 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3071 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3072 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3073 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3074 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3075 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
3077 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3078 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3079 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3081 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3083 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3084 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3085 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3086 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3087 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3088 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3091 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3092 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3093 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3094 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3095 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3098 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3099 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3100 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3102 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3103 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3104 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3108 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3109 being properly terminated.
3112 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3113 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3114 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3115 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3117 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3118 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3119 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3120 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3121 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3122 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3123 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3125 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3127 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3128 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3131 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3132 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3133 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3134 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3135 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3136 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3137 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3138 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3140 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3141 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3142 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3143 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3144 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3146 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3147 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3150 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3152 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3153 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3154 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3156 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3158 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3159 and get fix the header length calculation.
3160 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3161 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3164 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3165 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3166 assertions could call abort()).
3167 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3169 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3171 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3172 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3173 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3175 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3177 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3178 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3179 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3182 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3186 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3187 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3188 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3190 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3191 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3192 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3193 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3194 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3198 *) Changes in security patch:
3200 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3201 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3202 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3205 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3206 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3207 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3208 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
3209 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3211 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3213 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3215 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3216 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
3217 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3219 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3220 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
3221 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3223 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3224 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
3225 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3227 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3229 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3230 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3231 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3233 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3234 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3236 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3237 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3238 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3239 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3240 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3241 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3244 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3245 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3246 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3247 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3250 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3253 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3254 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3255 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3256 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3257 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3258 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3260 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3261 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3262 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3263 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3264 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3267 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3268 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3269 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3270 BN_generate_prime().)
3272 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3273 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3274 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3278 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3279 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3282 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3283 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3284 when using non-blocking I/O.
3285 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3287 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3288 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3290 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3291 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3294 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3295 configuration for the versions before that.
3296 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3298 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3299 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3300 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3301 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3304 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3305 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3306 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3309 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3313 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3314 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3315 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3317 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3318 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3320 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3321 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3322 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3323 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3324 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3325 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3326 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3329 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3330 using a local variable.
3331 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]

3334 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3335 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3337 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3340 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3341 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3343 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3344 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3345 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3347 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3349 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3350 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3351 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3352 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3355 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3359 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3360 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3361 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3362 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3363 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3365 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3366 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3367 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3369 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3370 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3371 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3373 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3374 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3375 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3376 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3378 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3379 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3380 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3382 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3384 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3385 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3387 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3389 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3390 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3391 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3392 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3394 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3395 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3396 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3397 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3399 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3400 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3402 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3403 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3404 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3407 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3408 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3409 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3411 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3413 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3414 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3415 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3416 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3417 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3418 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3419 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3422 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3423 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3424 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3425 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3427 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3428 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3429 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3430 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3431 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3432 the client will at least see that alert.
3435 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3439 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3440 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3441 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3443 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3444 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3445 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3446 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3449 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3450 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3451 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3453 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3454 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3455 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3456 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3457 may leak via logfiles.)
3459 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3460 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3461 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3462 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3466 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3467 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3470 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3471 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3472 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3473 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3474 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3477 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3478 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3480 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3481 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3482 followed by modular reduction.
3483 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3485 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3486 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3489 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3490 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3491 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3492 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3495 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3498 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3499 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3502 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3503 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3504 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3505 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3506 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3507 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected

3511 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3512 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3513 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3514 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3515 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3517 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3520 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3521 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3522 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3523 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3524 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3525 to allow the necessary settings.
3528 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3529 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3530 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3531 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3534 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3535 dh->length and always used
3537 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3539 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3540 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3541 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3542 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3543 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3548 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3550 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3556 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3557 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3558 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3559 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3561 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3562 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3563 always reject numbers >= n.
3566 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3567 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3568 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3569 variable) is not atomic.
3572 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3573 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3574 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3575 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3577 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3578 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3580 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3582 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3584 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3587 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3589 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3590 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3591 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3592 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3593 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3594 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3595 to traverse all of 'state'.
3597 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3598 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3599 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3601 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3602 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3604 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3605 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3606 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3607 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3608 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3609 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3610 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3611 further strengthens the PRNG.
3614 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3617 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3618 an error message in this case.
3621 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3624 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3625 positive and less than q.
3628 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3629 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3631 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3633 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3634 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3638 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3640 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3641 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3642 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3643 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3644 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3645 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3646 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3649 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3650 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3651 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3652 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3654 Both problems are now fixed.
3657 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3658 (previously it was 1024).
3661 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3662 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3665 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3668 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3669 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3670 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3673 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3674 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3675 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3676 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3677 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3678 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3679 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3680 environment variables.
3682 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3683 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3684 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3687 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3688 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3689 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3690 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3691 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3692 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3695 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3699 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3701 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3702 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3704 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3705 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3706 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3707 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3711 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3712 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3713 amount of data available.
3714 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3715 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3717 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3718 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3719 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3720 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3723 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3724 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3728 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3729 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3730 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3731 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3734 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3737 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3740 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3741 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3743 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3745 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3746 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3747 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3748 (but broken) behaviour.
3751 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3753 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3755 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3756 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3759 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3763 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3764 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3766 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3769 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3770 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3771 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3773 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3774 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3775 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3778 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3779 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3782 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3783 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3785 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3787 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3789 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3790 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3791 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3792 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3795 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3798 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3799 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3800 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3802 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3805 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3807 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3808 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3809 but the code is actually correct.
3812 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3813 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3814 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3815 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3816 and leaves the highest bit random.
3817 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3819 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3820 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3821 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3822 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3823 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3824 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3825 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3828 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3831 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3832 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3835 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3836 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3837 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3838 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3842 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3843 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3844 and break the signature.
3846 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3848 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3852 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3853 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3854 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3855 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3856 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3859 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3860 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3862 *) ./config script fixes.
3863 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3865 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3868 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3869 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3870 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3871 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3872 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3874 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3875 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3878 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3879 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3882 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3883 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3884 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3885 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3887 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3888 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3890 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3891 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3892 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3893 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3894 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3896 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3899 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3902 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3905 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3908 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3909 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3912 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3913 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3914 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3915 result of the server certificate verification.)
3918 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3919 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3920 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3924 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3925 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3926 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3927 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3928 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3929 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3930 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3931 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3934 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3935 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3936 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3937 happening the other way round.
3940 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3941 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3944 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3945 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3946 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3947 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3950 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3951 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3953 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3955 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3956 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3957 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3960 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3962 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3964 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3968 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3970 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3971 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3972 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3973 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3974 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3976 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3977 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3981 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3984 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3986 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3987 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3988 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3989 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3990 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3991 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3992 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3993 by the Finished messages.
3996 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3997 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3999 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4000 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4001 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4002 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4003 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4007 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4008 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4009 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4010 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4011 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4012 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4013 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4014 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4015 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4019 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4020 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4021 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4022 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4024 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4025 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4026 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4027 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4028 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4031 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4032 been tested well enough.
4035 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4036 it can return incorrect results.
4037 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4038 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4041 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4042 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4043 include zero length content when signing messages.
4046 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4047 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4050 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4053 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4057 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4058 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4059 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4060 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4061 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4062 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4065 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4066 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4068 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4069 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4071 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4072 random number < q in the DSA library.
4075 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4076 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4077 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4078 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4079 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4080 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4081 just makes things more complicated.)
4084 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4088 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4089 work better on such systems.
4090 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4092 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4093 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4094 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4097 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4098 if there was more than one signature.
4099 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4101 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4102 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4103 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4104 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4107 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4108 rather than always using the current time.
4111 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4112 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4113 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4114 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4115 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4116 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4118 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4119 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4121 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4123 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4124 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4125 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4126 the same hash value.
4128 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4129 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4130 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4131 with X509_STORE internally.
4133 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4134 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4136 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4137 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4138 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4139 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4140 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4141 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4142 entirely (maybe later...).
4144 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4146 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4147 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4148 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4149 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4150 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4151 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4152 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4153 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4155 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4156 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4158 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4159 to customise the verify behaviour.
4162 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4163 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4166 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4167 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4168 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4169 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4170 request is improperly encoded.
4173 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4174 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4177 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4178 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4180 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4181 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4185 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4186 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4187 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4190 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4191 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4192 BIO/fp routines also added.
4195 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4196 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4198 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4199 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4200 demos/state_machine.
4203 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4204 generation and verification.
4207 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4208 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4209 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4210 encode and decode it manually.
4213 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4215 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4217 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4218 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4219 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4220 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4222 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4223 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4224 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4225 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4226 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4229 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4232 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4233 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4234 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4236 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4237 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4238 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4239 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4240 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4241 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4242 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4243 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4245 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4246 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4248 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4250 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
