5 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
8 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
9 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
10 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
11 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
12 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
13 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
14 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
17 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
18 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
19 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
20 between digests and public key types.
23 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
24 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
25 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
26 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
29 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
30 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
34 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
37 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
41 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
42 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
43 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
44 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
49 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
51 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
53 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
55 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
56 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
57 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
58 functionality for RSA.
61 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
62 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
63 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
66 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
67 key API, doesn't do much yet.
70 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
71 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
72 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
75 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
76 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
79 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
80 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
83 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
84 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
88 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
89 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
90 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
94 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
95 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
96 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
97 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
98 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
99 of public and private key structures.
102 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
103 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
106 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
107 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
108 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
111 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
115 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
116 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
118 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
120 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
122 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
123 and response verification functionality.
124 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
126 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
127 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
128 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
129 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
130 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
131 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
132 server_name extension.
134 New functions (subject to change):
137 SSL_get_servername_type()
140 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
142 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
143 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
144 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
145 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
146 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
148 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
150 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
151 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
152 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
153 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
154 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
155 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
158 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
160 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
163 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
164 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
165 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
166 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
167 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
170 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
172 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
173 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
174 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
176 The latter two were purportedly from
177 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
180 Other ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt
181 remain enabled for now, but are just as unofficial, and the ID
182 has long expired; these will probably disappear soon.
185 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
186 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
190 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
191 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
192 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
193 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
196 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
197 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
198 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
199 using the maximum available value.
202 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
203 in addition to the text details.
206 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
207 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
208 handle several customised structures at all.
211 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
212 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
213 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
216 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
219 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
220 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
221 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
224 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
225 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
226 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
229 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
230 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
234 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
237 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [xx XXX xxxx]
239 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
240 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
241 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
242 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
243 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
244 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
247 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
249 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
250 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
253 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
254 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
256 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
257 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
258 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
259 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
262 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
263 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
266 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
267 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
268 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
269 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
270 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
271 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
272 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
276 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
277 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
278 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
279 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
282 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
283 under VC++ build system.
286 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
287 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
290 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
292 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
293 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
294 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
295 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
296 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
298 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
299 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
300 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
302 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
305 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
306 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
309 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
310 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
312 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
315 *) Extended Windows CE support.
316 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
318 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
319 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
322 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
323 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
327 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
329 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
332 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
333 key into the same file any more.
336 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
339 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
340 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
342 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
343 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
346 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
347 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
348 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
349 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
350 this only applies when building 'shared'.
351 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
353 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
354 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
355 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
358 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
359 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
360 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
361 - add new function for parameter creation
362 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
363 BN_BLINDING parameters
364 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
365 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
366 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
370 *) Add support for DTLS.
371 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
373 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
374 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
377 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
378 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
381 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
382 the apps/openssl applications.
385 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
386 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
387 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
390 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
391 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
393 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
394 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
396 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
397 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
398 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
399 avoid this algorithm.)
403 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
404 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
405 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
408 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
409 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
412 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
413 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
414 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
417 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
419 The blank line is mandatory.
423 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
424 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
428 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
429 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
431 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
432 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
433 to support policy checking and print out.
436 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
437 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
438 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
439 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
441 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
444 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
445 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
447 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
448 implementation contributed by IBM.
449 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
451 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
452 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
453 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
454 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
456 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
457 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
459 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
460 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
461 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
462 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
463 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
464 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
467 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
468 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
469 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
470 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
471 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
472 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
473 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
476 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
479 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
480 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
481 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
482 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
483 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
484 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
485 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
486 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
489 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
490 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
491 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
492 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
495 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
498 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
501 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
502 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
503 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
504 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
505 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
506 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
510 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
511 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
514 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
515 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
516 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
519 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
520 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
521 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
525 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
526 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
529 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
530 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
531 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
532 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
535 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
536 initialised value as BN_new().
537 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
539 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
542 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
543 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
544 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
545 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
546 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
547 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
548 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
549 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
550 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
551 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
552 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
553 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
554 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
555 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
556 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
558 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
559 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
560 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
561 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
564 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
565 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
566 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
567 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
568 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
569 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
570 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
571 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
572 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
575 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
576 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
577 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
578 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
579 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
580 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
581 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
584 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
585 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
586 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
587 these have been updated also.
590 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
591 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
592 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
593 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
594 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
598 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
599 structure of type "other".
602 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
603 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
604 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
605 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
606 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
607 situation in the script.
608 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
610 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
611 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
612 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
613 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
614 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
615 used as premaster secret.
616 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
618 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
619 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
620 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
622 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
623 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
625 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
626 control of the error stack.
629 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
632 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
633 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
634 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
635 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
638 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
639 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
640 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
643 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
644 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
645 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
649 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
650 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
651 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
652 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
655 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
656 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
657 the following flags are defined:
659 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
660 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
661 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
664 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
665 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
666 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
667 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
671 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
672 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
673 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
674 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
675 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
678 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
679 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
680 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
683 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
684 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
685 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
686 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
687 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
688 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
691 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
695 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
698 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
701 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
704 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
705 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
706 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
707 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
708 default implementation more easily.
711 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
715 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
716 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
719 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
720 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
721 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
722 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
724 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
725 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
726 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
730 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
731 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
735 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
736 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
737 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
738 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
739 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
741 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
743 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
744 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
745 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
749 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
750 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
751 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
752 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
753 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
754 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
755 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
756 linker additions, eg;
757 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
760 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
761 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
762 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
765 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
766 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
767 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
771 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
772 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
773 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
774 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
777 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
778 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
779 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
780 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
781 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
782 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
783 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
784 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
785 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
786 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
788 Example for using the new callback interface:
790 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
794 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
796 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
797 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
798 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
799 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
800 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
801 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
806 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
807 available to TLS with the number defined in
808 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
811 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
812 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
814 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
815 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
816 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
817 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
819 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
820 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
822 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
823 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
827 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
828 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
831 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
832 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
833 and a macro that behave like
834 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
836 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
839 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
840 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
841 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
843 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
845 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
848 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
849 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
850 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
851 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
853 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
854 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
855 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
856 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
857 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
858 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
859 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
860 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
862 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
863 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
866 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
867 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
869 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
870 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
871 files while avoiding the low level API.
873 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
874 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
875 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
876 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
878 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
879 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
880 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
881 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
882 instead of the low level API.
885 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
886 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
887 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
888 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
889 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
892 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
893 down to the template encoder.
896 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
897 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
900 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
901 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
902 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
903 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
905 *) Add ECDH engine support.
906 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
908 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
909 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
911 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
912 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
915 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
916 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
917 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
920 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
921 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
923 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
924 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
926 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
927 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
930 EC_GF2m_simple_method
934 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
935 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
936 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
937 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
938 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
939 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
941 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
942 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
945 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
946 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
947 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
948 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
949 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
950 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
951 various internal method names.)
953 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
954 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
956 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
957 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
959 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
960 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
962 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
963 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
964 methods are undefined.
966 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
967 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
969 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
970 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
971 length of the modulus.
973 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
974 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
976 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
977 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
979 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
980 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
982 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
983 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
984 used) in the following functions [macros]:
987 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
988 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
989 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
990 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
992 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
993 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
994 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
995 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
997 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
998 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1000 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1001 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1002 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1003 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1004 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1006 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1007 This applies to the following functions:
1012 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1013 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1015 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1016 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1020 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1025 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1027 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1028 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1029 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1030 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1031 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1033 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1034 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1036 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1037 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1038 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1040 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1041 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1043 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1044 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1045 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1046 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1047 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1049 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1051 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1052 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1053 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1054 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1055 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1056 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1057 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1058 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1059 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1060 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1061 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1062 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1064 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1067 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1068 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1069 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1070 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1072 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1073 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1074 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1075 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1080 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1081 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1082 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1083 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1084 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1086 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1087 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1088 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1089 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1090 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1091 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1092 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1093 adding different types of curves.
1094 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1096 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1097 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1098 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1101 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1102 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1104 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1105 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1106 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1107 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1109 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1111 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1112 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1114 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1115 library. Most notably,
1116 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1117 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1118 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1119 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1120 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1121 extracted before the specific public key;
1122 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1123 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1125 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1126 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1128 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1129 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1130 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1131 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1133 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1134 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1135 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1137 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1138 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1139 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1140 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1141 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1142 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1146 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1148 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1149 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1150 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1151 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1152 the difference induced by this change.
1155 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1157 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1158 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1159 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1160 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1161 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1163 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1164 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1165 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1167 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1168 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1171 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1172 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1173 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1174 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1178 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1179 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1180 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1181 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1182 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1184 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1185 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1186 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1187 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1188 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1189 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1191 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1193 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1194 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1195 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1196 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1197 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1200 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1204 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1205 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1206 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1209 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1210 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1211 structures constant.
1214 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1216 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1219 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1220 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1221 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1222 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1223 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1224 some needed definitions.
1227 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1230 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1231 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1232 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1233 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1236 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1238 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1239 server and client random values. Previously
1240 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1241 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1243 This change has negligible security impact because:
1245 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1248 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1251 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1252 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1255 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1258 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1260 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1263 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1264 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1265 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1267 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1270 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1271 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1274 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1275 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1276 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1278 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1281 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1282 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1283 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1287 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1288 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1289 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1290 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1292 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1293 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1294 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1295 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1299 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1301 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1302 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1303 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1304 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1305 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1308 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1311 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1312 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1314 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1315 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1316 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1317 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1318 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1319 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1320 rather than being initialized to 1.
1323 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1325 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1326 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1327 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1329 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1331 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1333 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1334 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1335 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1336 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1337 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1338 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1341 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1342 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1343 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1344 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1345 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1349 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1350 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1351 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1352 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1353 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1356 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1357 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1358 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1362 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1363 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1365 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1368 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1370 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1372 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1373 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1375 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1377 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1378 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1382 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1383 exiting on the first error in a request.
1386 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1387 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1391 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1392 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1393 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1394 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1396 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1397 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1400 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1401 blocks during encryption.
1404 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1405 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1406 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1407 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1411 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1412 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1413 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1414 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1415 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1419 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1421 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1422 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1423 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1424 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1427 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1428 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1429 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1430 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1431 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1433 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1434 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1435 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1436 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1437 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1438 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1439 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1440 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1441 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1444 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1445 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1446 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1447 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1450 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1451 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1454 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1456 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1457 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1458 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1459 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1460 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1462 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1463 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1464 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1466 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1467 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1468 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1469 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1470 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1472 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1473 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1474 used by default when no-err is given.
1477 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1478 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1480 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1481 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1482 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1483 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1484 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1486 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1487 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1488 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1489 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1491 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1493 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1495 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1497 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1498 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1499 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1500 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1504 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1505 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1507 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1508 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1511 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1512 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1513 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1514 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1517 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1518 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1519 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1520 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1521 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1522 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1523 followup to PR #377.
1526 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1527 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1530 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1531 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1532 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1537 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1540 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1541 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1542 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1543 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1545 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

1550 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1554 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1555 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1556 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1557 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1558 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1559 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1561 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1562 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1563 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1564 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1565 have to be made anyway).
1568 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1569 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1570 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1573 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1574 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1575 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1578 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1579 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1580 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1582 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1583 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1584 edit numbers of the version.
1585 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1587 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1588 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1589 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1591 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1592 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1594 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1595 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1596 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1598 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1599 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1601 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1602 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1604 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1605 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1607 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1608 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1610 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1612 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1614 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1615 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1616 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1618 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1619 representations in a platform independent manner.
1620 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1622 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1623 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1624 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1626 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1628 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1630 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1631 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1633 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1635 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1637 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1638 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.

1641 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1643 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1645 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1646 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1648 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1649 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1651 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1652 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1654 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1655 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1657 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1659 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1661 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().

1667 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1668 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1670 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1672 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1673 the 0.9.6 release series:
1675 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1676 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1678 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1680 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1683 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1684 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1686 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1687 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1689 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1690 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1691 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1692 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1694 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1695 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1696 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1698 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1699 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1700 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1701 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1703 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1704 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1705 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1708 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1709 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1710 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1711 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1712 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1713 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1714 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1715 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1718 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1719 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1720 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1723 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1724 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1725 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1726 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1727 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1729 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1730 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1732 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1733 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1736 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1737 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1738 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1739 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1740 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1741 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1744 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1745 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1746 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1749 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1750 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1753 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1754 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1755 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1756 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1757 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1758 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1759 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1762 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1763 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1764 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1765 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1766 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1767 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1770 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1771 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1772 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1773 declaration has been changed from
1776 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1777 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1778 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1779 has been changed into
1780 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1782 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1783 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1784 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1786 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1787 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1789 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1790 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1791 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1792 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1793 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1794 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1795 always load it have also been added.
1798 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1799 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1800 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1802 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1804 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1805 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1806 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1808 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1809 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1810 command line option can be used to specify an
1814 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1815 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1818 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1819 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1820 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1823 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1824 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1825 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1826 to work with the new engine framework.
1827 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1829 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1830 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1831 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1832 to work with the new engine framework.

1852 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1853 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1855 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1856 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1857 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1860 *) Add new functions
1862 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1863 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1864 These are similar to
1867 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1868 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1869 still in the error queue.
1870 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1872 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1874 default_algorithms = ALL
1875 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1878 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1881 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1884 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1885 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1886 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1887 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1889 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1890 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1892 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1893 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1895 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1896 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1899 *) New functions/macros
1901 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1902 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1903 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1904 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1906 to request calling a callback function
1908 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1909 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1911 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1912 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1913 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1914 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1915 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1916 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1917 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1918 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1919 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1920 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1922 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1923 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1926 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1927 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1928 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1929 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1930 the configuration scripts.
1932 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1933 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1934 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1936 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1937 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1939 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1940 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1941 when reusing an existing buffer.
1944 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1945 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1948 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1949 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1952 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1953 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1954 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1955 has the same effect.
1956 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1958 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1959 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1960 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1961 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1962 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1963 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1966 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1967 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1968 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1969 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1971 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1972 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1973 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1974 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1976 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1977 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1980 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1981 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1982 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1983 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1984 default), and then completely removed.
1987 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1988 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1989 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1990 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1991 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1992 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1993 particular extension is supported.
1996 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1997 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2000 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2001 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2002 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2003 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2004 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2005 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2006 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2007 requires the destination to be valid.
2009 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2010 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2013 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2014 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2015 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2018 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2019 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2021 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2022 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2023 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2024 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2025 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2026 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2027 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2028 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2029 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2030 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2031 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2032 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2033 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2034 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2035 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2036 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2037 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2038 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2039 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2043 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2046 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2047 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2048 become part of libeay.num as well.
2051 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2052 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2053 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2054 false once a handshake has been completed.
2055 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2056 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2057 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2058 client has followed the request.)
2061 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2062 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2063 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2064 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2066 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2067 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2068 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2071 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2074 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2075 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2076 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2079 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2080 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2083 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2084 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2085 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2086 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2089 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2090 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2091 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2092 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2093 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2094 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2097 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2098 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2099 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2100 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2101 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2102 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2103 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2104 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2107 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2108 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2111 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2114 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2115 md_data void pointer.
2118 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2119 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2120 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2121 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2122 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2123 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2126 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2127 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2128 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2129 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2130 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2131 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2132 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2133 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2134 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2135 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2136 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2137 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2138 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2139 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2140 rather than letting it slide.
2142 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2143 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2144 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2147 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2148 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2149 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2150 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2151 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2152 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2153 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2154 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2155 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2158 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2159 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2160 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2161 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2162 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2164 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2167 *) Add EVP test program.
2170 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2173 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2174 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2175 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2176 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2177 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2180 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2181 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2182 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2183 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2184 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2185 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2186 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2188 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2189 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2190 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2195 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2196 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2197 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2198 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2199 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2203 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2204 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2205 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2206 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2209 des_key_schedule ks;
2211 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2212 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2214 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2217 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2218 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2219 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2220 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2221 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2222 functions prevents this.
2225 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2228 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2229 correct _ecb suffix.
2232 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2233 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2234 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2235 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2236 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2239 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2242 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2243 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2244 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2245 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2247 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2248 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2250 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2251 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2252 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2253 via Richard Levitte]
2255 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2256 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2257 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2258 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2261 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2264 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2265 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2279 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2280 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2282 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2283 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2284 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2285 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2286 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2287 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2290 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2291 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2294 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2295 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2296 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2297 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2299 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2300 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2301 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2302 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2303 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2304 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2308 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2309 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2310 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2311 and interrupts/cancellations.
2314 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2315 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2318 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2319 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2320 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2322 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2323 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2327 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2328 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2329 than this minimum value is recommended.
2332 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2333 that are easily reachable.
2336 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2337 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2339 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2341 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2342 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2343 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2344 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2347 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2348 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2349 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2352 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2353 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2354 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2355 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2356 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2357 internally such as S/MIME.
2359 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2360 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2361 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2363 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2367 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2368 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2369 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2370 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2372 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2374 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2376 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2377 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2378 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2382 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2383 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2384 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2385 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2386 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2387 a window system and the like.
2390 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2391 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2394 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2395 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2396 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2397 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2398 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2399 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2400 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2401 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2402 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2406 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2407 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2411 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2412 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2413 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2414 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2415 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2416 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2417 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2418 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2421 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2422 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2423 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2424 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2425 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2426 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2427 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2428 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2429 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2430 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2431 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2432 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2433 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2434 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2435 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2436 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2437 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2440 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2441 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2442 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2443 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2444 internal engine_int.h header.
2447 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2448 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2449 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2450 modify their own ones).
2453 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2454 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2455 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2456 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2457 later on via ctrl() commands.
2458 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2459 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2460 structural references.
2461 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2462 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2463 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2464 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2465 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2466 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2467 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2468 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2469 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2470 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2471 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2472 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2475 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2476 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2477 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2478 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2479 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2480 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2481 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2482 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2485 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2486 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2489 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2490 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2493 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2494 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2495 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2496 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2497 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2498 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2499 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2502 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2503 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2504 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2505 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2506 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2508 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2509 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2513 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2515 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2516 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2517 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2519 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2520 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2522 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2523 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2524 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2526 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2527 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2529 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2530 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2532 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2534 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2535 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2536 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2539 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2540 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2543 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2544 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2545 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2546 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2547 is 40 of more characters long.
2550 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2551 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2555 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2556 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2559 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2560 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2564 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2566 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2567 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2570 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2572 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2573 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2574 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2576 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2577 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2579 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2582 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2586 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2587 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2588 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2589 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2591 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2593 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2594 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2596 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2597 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2598 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2599 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2600 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2601 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2603 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2604 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2606 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2607 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2609 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2610 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2612 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2613 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2614 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2615 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2617 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2618 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2620 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2621 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2623 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2624 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2625 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2626 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2627 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2630 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2631 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2632 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2633 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2636 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2637 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2638 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2642 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2643 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2644 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2645 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2646 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2647 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2648 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2649 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2653 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2654 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2657 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2658 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2659 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2660 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2663 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2664 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2665 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2666 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2667 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2668 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2669 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2670 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2671 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2672 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2675 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2676 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2677 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2678 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2679 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2680 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2681 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2682 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2684 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2685 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2686 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2687 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2690 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2691 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2692 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2693 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2695 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2696 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2697 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2698 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2699 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2703 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2704 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2705 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2706 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2710 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2711 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2712 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2715 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2716 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2717 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2718 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2719 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2722 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2725 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2726 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2727 option to ocsp utility.
2730 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2731 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2732 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2733 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2734 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2735 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2736 the request is nonce-less.
2739 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2740 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2741 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2744 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2745 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2746 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2749 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2750 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2751 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2752 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2753 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2756 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2757 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2761 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2762 additional certificates supplied.
2765 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2766 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2770 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2771 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2774 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2775 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2776 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2777 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2778 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2779 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2780 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2781 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2782 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2784 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2785 request to response.
2788 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2789 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2790 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2791 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2792 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2793 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2794 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2795 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2796 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2797 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2798 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2801 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2802 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2803 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2804 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2807 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2808 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2810 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2811 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2812 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2815 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2816 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2817 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2818 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2819 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2821 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2822 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2823 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2826 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2827 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2828 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2829 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2830 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2831 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2832 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2833 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2835 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2836 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2837 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2838 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2839 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2840 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2843 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2844 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2845 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2846 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2847 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2848 printout format cleaned up.
2851 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2852 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2853 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2854 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2855 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2856 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2857 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2858 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2861 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2862 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2863 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2864 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2865 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2866 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2867 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2868 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2871 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2872 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2873 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2874 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2876 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2878 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2879 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2880 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2881 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2884 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2885 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2886 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2887 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2889 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2891 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2892 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2893 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2894 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2896 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2897 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2899 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2900 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2901 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2904 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2905 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2906 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2909 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2910 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2911 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2912 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2913 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2914 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2915 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2916 functions are provided:
2918 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2919 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2920 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2921 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2923 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2924 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2925 extended allocation function is enabled.
2926 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2927 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2928 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2930 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2931 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2932 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2933 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2934 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2937 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2938 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2939 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2941 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2942 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2943 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2946 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2947 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2948 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2949 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2950 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2951 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2952 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2953 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2954 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2957 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2958 provide utility functions which an application needing
2959 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2960 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2961 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2963 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2964 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2965 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2966 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2967 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2968 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2969 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2970 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2971 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2973 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2974 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2975 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2976 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2979 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2980 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2981 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2982 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2983 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2984 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2985 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2986 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2987 will be added elsewhere.
2990 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2991 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2992 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2993 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2996 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2997 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2998 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2999 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3000 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3001 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3002 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3003 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3004 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3005 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3006 to produce the required SET OF.
3009 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3010 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3011 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3014 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3015 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3016 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3017 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3018 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3019 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3022 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3023 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3024 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3027 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3028 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3029 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3032 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3033 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3034 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3035 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3036 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3039 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3040 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3043 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3044 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3045 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3046 certifcates and CRLs.
3049 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3050 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3051 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3054 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3055 entries for variables.
3058 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3059 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3060 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3061 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3064 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3065 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3066 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3067 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3068 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3069 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3072 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3073 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3075 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3076 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3077 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3080 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3084 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3085 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3086 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3087 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3088 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3089 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3092 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3095 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3096 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3097 for now but they will eventually go away.
3100 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3101 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3102 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3103 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3104 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3105 has also been converted to the new form.
3108 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3109 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3110 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3111 for negative moduli.
3114 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3115 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3118 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3122 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3123 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3124 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3125 type-specific callbacks.
3128 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3130 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3131 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3133 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3134 in sections depending on the subject.
3137 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3141 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3142 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3143 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3144 be handled deterministically).
3145 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3147 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3148 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3149 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3152 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3155 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3156 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3157 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3158 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3159 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3162 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3163 sign of the number in question.
3165 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3167 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3168 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3169 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3170 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3171 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3174 *) New function BN_swap.
3177 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3178 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3179 results on negative inputs.
3182 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3183 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3184 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3187 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3188 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3189 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3190 and add new functions:
3199 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3203 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3205 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3206 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3208 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3209 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3210 be reduced modulo m.
3211 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3214 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3215 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3216 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3218 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3219 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3220 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3221 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3222 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3223 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3228 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3229 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3230 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3231 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3232 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3234 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3235 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3236 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3240 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3243 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3244 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3247 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3248 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3249 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3250 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3254 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3257 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3260 *) Add the following functions:
3262 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3264 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3266 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3268 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3269 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3270 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3271 libraries unless it's really needed.
3273 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3274 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3275 declarations (they differed!).
3278 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3281 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3284 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3287 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3288 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3291 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3292 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3293 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3295 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3296 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3299 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3302 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3305 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3308 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3309 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3310 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3312 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3313 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3314 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3315 different shared library filenames on each system.
3318 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3321 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3322 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3323 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3325 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3328 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3329 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3330 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3331 binary backward compatibility.
3332 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3333 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3334 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3338 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3339 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3340 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3341 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3345 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3348 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3349 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3350 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3351 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3355 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3358 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3360 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3361 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3362 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3364 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3366 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3368 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3369 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3372 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3374 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3376 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3377 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3379 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3380 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3384 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3385 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3389 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3390 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3391 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3392 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3394 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3395 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3398 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3400 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3401 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3402 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3403 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3406 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3407 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3408 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3409 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3410 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3412 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3413 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3414 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3415 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3416 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3417 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3418 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3419 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3420 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3423 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3425 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3426 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3427 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3428 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3429 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3431 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3432 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3433 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3435 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3437 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3438 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3439 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3440 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3441 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3442 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3445 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3446 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3447 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3448 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3449 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3452 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3453 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3454 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3456 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3457 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3458 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3462 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3463 being properly terminated.
3466 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3467 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3468 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3469 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3471 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3472 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3473 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3474 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3475 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3476 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3477 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3479 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3481 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3482 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3485 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3486 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3487 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3488 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3489 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3490 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3491 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3492 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3494 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3495 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3496 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3497 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3498 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3500 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3501 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3504 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3506 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3507 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3508 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3510 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3512 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3513 and get fix the header length calculation.
3514 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3515 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3518 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3519 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3520 assertions could call abort()).
3521 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3523 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3525 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3526 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3527 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3529 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3531 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3532 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3533 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3536 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3540 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3541 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3542 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3544 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3545 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3546 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3547 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3548 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3552 *) Changes in security patch:
3554 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3555 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3556 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3559 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3560 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3561 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3562 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3563 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3565 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3567 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3569 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3570 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3571 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3573 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3574 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3575 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3577 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3578 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3579 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3581 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3583 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3584 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3585 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3587 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3588 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3590 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3591 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3592 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3593 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3594 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3595 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3598 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3599 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3600 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3601 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3604 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3607 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3608 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3609 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3610 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3611 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3612 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3614 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3615 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3616 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3617 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3618 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3621 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3622 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3623 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3624 BN_generate_prime().)
3626 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3627 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3628 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3632 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3633 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3636 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3637 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3638 when using non-blocking I/O.
3639 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3641 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3642 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3644 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3645 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3648 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3649 configuration for the versions before that.
3650 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3652 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3653 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3654 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3655 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3658 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3659 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3660 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3663 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3667 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3668 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3669 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3671 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3672 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3674 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3675 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3676 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3677 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3678 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3679 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3680 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3683 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3684 using a local variable.
3685 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3687 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3688 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3689 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3691 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3694 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3695 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3697 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3698 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3699 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3701 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3703 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3704 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3705 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3706 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3709 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3713 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3714 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3715 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3716 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3717 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3719 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3720 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3721 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3723 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3724 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3725 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3727 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3728 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3729 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3730 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3732 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3733 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3734 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3736 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3738 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3739 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3741 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3743 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3744 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3745 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3746 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3748 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3749 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3750 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3751 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3753 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3754 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3756 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3757 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3758 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3761 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3762 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3763 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3765 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3767 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3768 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3769 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3770 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3771 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3772 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3773 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3776 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3777 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3778 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3779 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3781 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3782 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3783 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3784 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3785 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3786 the client will at least see that alert.
3789 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3793 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3794 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3795 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3797 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3798 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3799 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3800 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3803 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3804 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3805 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3807 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3808 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3809 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3810 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3811 may leak via logfiles.)
3813 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3814 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3815 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3816 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3820 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3821 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3824 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3825 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3826 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3827 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3828 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3831 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3832 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3834 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3835 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3836 followed by modular reduction.
3837 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3839 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3840 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3843 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3844 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3845 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3846 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3849 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3852 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3853 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3856 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3857 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3858 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3859 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3860 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3861 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3863 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3865 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3866 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3867 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3868 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3869 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3871 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3874 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3875 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3876 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3877 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3878 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3879 to allow the necessary settings.
3882 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3883 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3884 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3885 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3888 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3889 dh->length and always used
3891 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3893 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3894 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3895 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3896 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3897 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3902 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3904 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3910 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3911 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3912 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3913 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3915 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3916 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3917 always reject numbers >= n.
3920 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3921 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3922 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3923 variable) is not atomic.
3926 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3927 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3928 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3929 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3931 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3932 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3934 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3936 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3938 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3941 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3943 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3944 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3945 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3946 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3947 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3948 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3949 to traverse all of 'state'.
3951 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3952 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3953 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3955 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3956 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3958 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3959 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3960 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3961 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3962 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3963 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3964 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3965 further strengthens the PRNG.
3968 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3971 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3972 an error message in this case.
3975 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3978 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3979 positive and less than q.
3982 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3983 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3985 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3987 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3988 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3992 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3994 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3995 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3996 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3997 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3998 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3999 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4000 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4003 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4004 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4005 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4006 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4008 Both problems are now fixed.
4011 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4012 (previously it was 1024).
4015 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4016 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4019 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4022 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4023 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4024 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4027 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4028 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4029 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4030 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4031 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4032 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4033 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4034 environment variables.
4036 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4037 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4038 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4041 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4042 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4043 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4044 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4045 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4046 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4049 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4053 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4055 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4056 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4058 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4059 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4060 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4061 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4065 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4066 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4067 amount of data available.
4068 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4069 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4071 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4072 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4073 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4074 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4077 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4078 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4082 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4083 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4084 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4085 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4088 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4091 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4094 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4095 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4097 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4099 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4100 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4101 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4102 (but broken) behaviour.
4105 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4107 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4109 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4110 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4113 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4117 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4118 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4120 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4123 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4124 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4125 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4127 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4128 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4129 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4132 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4133 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4136 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4137 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4139 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4141 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4143 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4144 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4145 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4146 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4149 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4152 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4153 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4154 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4156 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4159 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4161 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4162 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4163 but the code is actually correct.
4166 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4167 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4168 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4169 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4170 and leaves the highest bit random.
4171 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4173 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4174 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4175 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4176 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4177 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4178 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4179 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4182 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4185 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4186 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4189 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4190 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4191 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4192 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4196 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4197 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4198 and break the signature.
4200 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4202 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4206 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4207 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4208 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4209 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4210 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4213 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4214 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4216 *) ./config script fixes.
4217 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4219 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4222 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4223 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4224 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4225 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4226 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4228 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4229 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4232 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4233 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4236 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4237 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4238 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4239 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4241 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4242 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4244 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4245 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4246 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4247 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4248 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4250 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4253 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4256 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4259 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4262 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4263 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4266 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4267 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4268 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4269 result of the server certificate verification.)
4272 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4273 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4274 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4278 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4279 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4280 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4281 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4282 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4283 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4284 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4285 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4288 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4289 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4290 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4291 happening the other way round.
4294 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4295 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4298 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4299 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4300 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4301 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4304 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4305 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4307 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4309 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4310 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4311 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4314 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4316 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4318 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4322 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4324 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4325 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4326 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4327 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4328 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4330 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4331 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4335 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4338 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4340 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4341 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4342 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4343 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4344 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4345 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4346 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4347 by the Finished messages.
4350 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4351 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4353 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4354 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4355 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4356 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4357 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4361 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4362 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4363 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4364 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4365 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4366 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4367 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4368 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4369 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4373 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4374 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4375 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4376 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4378 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4379 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4380 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4381 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4382 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4385 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4386 been tested well enough.
4389 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4390 it can return incorrect results.
4391 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4392 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4395 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4396 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4397 include zero length content when signing messages.
4400 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4401 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4404 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4407 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4411 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4412 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4413 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4414 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4415 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4416 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4419 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4420 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4422 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4423 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4425 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4426 random number < q in the DSA library.
4429 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4430 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4431 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4432 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4433 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4434 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4435 just makes things more complicated.)
4438 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4442 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4443 work better on such systems.
4444 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4446 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4447 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4448 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4451 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4452 if there was more than one signature.
4453 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4455 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4456 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4457 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4458 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4461 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4462 rather than always using the current time.
4465 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4466 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4467 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4468 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4469 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4470 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4472 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4473 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4475 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4477 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4478 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4479 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4480 the same hash value.
4482 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4483 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4484 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4485 with X509_STORE internally.
4487 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4488 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4490 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4491 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4492 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4493 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4494 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4495 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4496 entirely (maybe later...).
4498 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4500 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4501 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4502 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4503 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4504 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4505 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4506 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4507 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4509 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4510 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4512 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4513 to customise the verify behaviour.
4516 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4517 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4520 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4521 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4522 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4523 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4524 request is improperly encoded.
4527 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4528 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4531 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4532 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4534 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4535 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4539 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4540 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4541 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4544 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4545 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4546 BIO/fp routines also added.
4549 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4550 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4552 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4553 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4554 demos/state_machine.
4557 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4558 generation and verification.
4561 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4562 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4563 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4564 encode and decode it manually.
4567 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4569 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4571 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4572 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4573 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4574 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4576 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4577 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4578 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4579 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4580 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4583 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4586 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4587 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4588 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4590 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4591 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4592 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4593 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4594 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4595 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4596 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4597 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4599 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4600 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4602 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4604 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4605 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4606 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4610 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4611 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4612 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4613 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4617 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4619 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4622 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4623 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4624 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4625 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4626 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4627 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4628 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4629 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4630 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4631 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4632 short or long names are found.
4635 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4636 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4638 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4639 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4640 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4641 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4643 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4644 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4645 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4646 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4649 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4650 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4651 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4654 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4655 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4656 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4657 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4658 to allow the various flags to be set.
4661 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4662 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4663 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4664 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4665 dates to be checked.
4668 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4669 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4670 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4673 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4674 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4675 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4678 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4679 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4682 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4683 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4684 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4685 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4686 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4687 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4690 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4691 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4695 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4699 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4700 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4701 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4702 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4703 form signing output easier to verify.
4706 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4709 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4710 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4711 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4712 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4713 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4714 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4715 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4716 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4717 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4718 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4721 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4723 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4724 the syntax given in objects.README.
4725 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4727 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4730 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4731 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4732 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4733 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4734 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4735 consistent name changes.
4738 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4741 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4742 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4743 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4744 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4747 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4748 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4749 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4753 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4754 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4755 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4756 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4759 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4760 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4761 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4762 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4763 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4764 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4765 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4766 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4767 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4768 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4769 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4772 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4773 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4774 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4775 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4776 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4777 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4778 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4779 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4780 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4781 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4784 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4785 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4786 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4787 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4789 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4790 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4791 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4792 omit any duplicate addresses.
4795 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4796 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4799 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4800 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4801 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4802 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4803 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4806 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4808 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4809 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4810 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4811 Free => OPENSSL_free
4814 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4815 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4818 *) CygWin32 support.
4819 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4821 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4822 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4823 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4824 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4825 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4829 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4830 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4831 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4832 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4833 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4834 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4835 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4838 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4839 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4840 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4841 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4842 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4843 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4844 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4845 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4846 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4847 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4848 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4851 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4852 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4853 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4854 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4855 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4857 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4858 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4859 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4860 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4861 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4863 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4866 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4867 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4868 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4869 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4871 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4873 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4876 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4877 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4878 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4881 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4882 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4883 any installed hardware versions can.
4886 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4887 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4888 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4892 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4893 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4894 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4895 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4896 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4898 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4899 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4902 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4903 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4906 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4907 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4908 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4912 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4915 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4916 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4917 but no ssl client purpose.
4918 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4920 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4921 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4922 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4923 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4924 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4925 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4926 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4927 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4928 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4929 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4930 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4933 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4934 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4935 be obtained from the error queue.
4938 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4939 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4940 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4941 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4944 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4947 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4948 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4949 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4950 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4951 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4954 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4955 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4956 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4957 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4958 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4961 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4962 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4963 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4965 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4967 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4968 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4969 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4970 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4971 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4972 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4973 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4974 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4975 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4976 or "the configuration storage API"...
4978 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4980 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4981 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4983 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4985 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4987 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4988 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4989 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4990 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4991 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4992 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4993 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4995 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4996 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4999 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5000 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5001 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5002 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5005 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5006 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5007 them in a portable way.
5008 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5010 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5012 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5014 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5015 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5017 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5018 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5019 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5022 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5023 was larger than the MD block size.
5024 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5026 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5027 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5028 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5029 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5033 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5034 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5035 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5037 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5039 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5041 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5042 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5043 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5044 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5045 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5046 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5048 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5049 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5051 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5052 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5055 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5058 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5059 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5061 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5062 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5063 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5064 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5067 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5068 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5069 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5070 does not suppress any output.
5073 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5074 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5075 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5076 with all the associated security issues.
5078 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5079 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5080 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5081 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5082 use the value in the default purpose.
5085 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5086 and fix a memory leak.
5089 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5090 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5091 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5092 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5095 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5096 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5097 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5098 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5101 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5102 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5103 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5106 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5107 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5110 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5111 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5115 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5116 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5119 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5120 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5121 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5124 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5125 number generation fails.
5128 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5131 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5132 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5134 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5137 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5138 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5140 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5141 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5143 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5145 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5146 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5149 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5150 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5152 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5153 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5156 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5157 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5158 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5159 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5160 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5161 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5163 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5164 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5165 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5169 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5170 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5171 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5172 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5173 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5174 counter, some don't.)
5175 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5176 counters or duplicate objects.
5179 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5180 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5183 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5184 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5185 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5187 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5188 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5189 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5193 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5194 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5197 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5198 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5199 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5203 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5204 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5205 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5208 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5209 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5210 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5211 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5212 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5213 should work without changes.
5216 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5217 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5218 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5219 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5220 must be defined. E.g.,
5221 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5222 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5223 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5224 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5226 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5230 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5231 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5232 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5235 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5236 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5237 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5238 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5241 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5242 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5243 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5244 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5245 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5246 is prompted for as usual.
5249 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5250 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5251 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5252 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5254 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5255 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5256 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5257 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5260 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5263 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5267 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5270 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5273 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5277 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5280 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5283 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5284 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5287 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5288 options to produce them.
5291 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5292 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5295 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5299 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5300 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5301 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5302 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5303 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5304 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5305 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5308 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5311 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5312 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5313 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5316 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5317 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5319 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5320 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5323 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5324 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5325 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5329 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5330 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5332 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5333 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5334 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5335 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5336 generation becomes much faster.
5338 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5339 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5340 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5341 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5342 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5343 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5344 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5345 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5346 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5347 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5350 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5351 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5352 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5353 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5354 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5355 trial division stage.
5358 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5362 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5365 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5368 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5369 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5370 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5374 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5375 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5376 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5379 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5380 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5381 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5382 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5384 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5385 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5388 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5391 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5392 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5393 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5394 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5397 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5398 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5399 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5402 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5403 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5404 (instead of parameters) in future.
5407 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5408 when a new cipher list is set.
5411 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5412 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5415 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5416 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5417 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5419 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5420 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5421 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5422 an error is flagged.
5424 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5425 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5426 the readability was also increased :-)
5427 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5429 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5430 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5431 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5432 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5436 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5437 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5440 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5441 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5442 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5443 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5446 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5447 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5448 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5449 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5450 because they handle more complex structures.)
5453 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5454 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5455 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5456 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5458 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5459 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5460 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5461 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5462 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5463 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5464 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5467 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5468 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5469 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5470 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5471 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5474 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5477 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5478 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5479 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5480 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5481 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5484 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5488 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5489 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5490 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5491 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5494 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5497 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5498 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5499 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5500 international characters are used.
5502 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5503 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5504 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5508 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5509 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5510 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5513 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5514 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5515 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5516 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5517 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5518 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5520 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5521 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5522 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5523 be handled by the string table functions.
5525 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5526 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5527 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5528 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5529 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5533 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5534 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5535 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5536 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5537 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5539 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5540 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5541 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5542 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5545 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5546 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5547 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5548 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5549 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5553 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5554 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5555 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5556 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5557 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5558 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5559 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5560 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5562 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5563 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5564 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5567 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5568 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5569 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5570 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5571 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5572 support to pkcs8 application.
5575 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5576 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5577 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5578 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5579 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5580 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5583 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5584 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5585 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5586 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5587 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5591 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5592 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5593 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5594 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5598 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5599 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5600 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5601 and any application specific purposes.
5603 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5604 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5605 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5606 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5607 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5608 if the certificate is self signed.
5611 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5612 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5615 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5616 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5617 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5618 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5621 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5622 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5623 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5624 Update documentation.
5627 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5628 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5629 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5630 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5631 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5634 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5636 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5638 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5639 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5640 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5641 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5642 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5643 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5644 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5645 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5646 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5647 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5649 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5651 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5652 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5653 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5654 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5655 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5657 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5658 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5659 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5660 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5661 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5662 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5663 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5664 request additional information:
5665 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5666 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5668 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5669 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5670 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5673 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5674 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5677 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5680 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5681 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5683 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5684 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5685 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5689 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5690 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5691 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5693 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5694 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5695 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5696 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5697 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5698 included in OpenSSL.
5701 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5702 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5703 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5704 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5705 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5706 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5709 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5713 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5714 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5715 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5716 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5717 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5721 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5725 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5726 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5727 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5728 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5729 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5730 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5731 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5732 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5733 be maintained manually.
5735 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5736 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5737 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5738 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5739 work because people forget to call this function]
5740 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5741 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5742 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5745 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5746 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5747 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5748 should be discouraged from doing it.
5751 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5752 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5753 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5754 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5755 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5756 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5759 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5760 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5761 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5763 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5764 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5765 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5767 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5768 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5769 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5770 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5771 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5772 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5774 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5775 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5776 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5778 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5779 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5782 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5783 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5784 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5785 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5788 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5791 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5792 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5793 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5794 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5795 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5796 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5797 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5798 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5799 keys so we should be OK.
5801 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5802 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5803 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5804 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5805 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5806 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5807 stay in the name of compatibility.
5809 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5810 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5811 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5813 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5814 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5815 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5816 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5817 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5818 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5822 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5823 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5824 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5825 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5826 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5827 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5828 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5829 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5830 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5831 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5832 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5833 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5834 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5837 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5840 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5841 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5842 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5843 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5844 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5845 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5846 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5847 openssl verify ss.pem
5848 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5849 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5853 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5854 (and add it to external session representation).
5855 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5856 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5857 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5858 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5859 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5860 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5862 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5864 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5865 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5866 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5867 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5869 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5870 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5871 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5874 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5875 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5876 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5880 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5881 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5882 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5884 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5885 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5886 certificate auxiliary information.
5889 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5893 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5894 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5895 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5896 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5897 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5898 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5899 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5902 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5903 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5906 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5907 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5908 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5909 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5912 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5915 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5916 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5919 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5920 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5921 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5922 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5923 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5924 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5925 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5926 using the new 'x509' options.
5928 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5929 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5930 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5931 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5935 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5936 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5937 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5938 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5939 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5942 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5943 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5944 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5945 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5946 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5947 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5948 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5949 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5950 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5951 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5954 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5955 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5956 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5957 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5958 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5959 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5960 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5963 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5964 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5965 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5966 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5967 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5968 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5969 openssl.cnf for more info.
5972 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5973 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5974 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5975 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5976 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5977 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5978 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5979 md should be large enough anyway.
5982 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5983 for handling the random seed file.
5985 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5987 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5990 x509 (when signing).
5991 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5992 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5993 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5995 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5996 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5997 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5998 that support '-rand'.
6001 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6002 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6005 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6006 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6009 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6010 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6011 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6012 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6016 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6017 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6018 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6019 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6022 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6023 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6024 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6025 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6026 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6027 print out all the purposes.
6030 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6034 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6035 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6036 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6037 single function call.
6040 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6041 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6044 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6045 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6046 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6049 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6050 when producing the local key id.
6051 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6053 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6054 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6055 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6059 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6060 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6061 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6062 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6065 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6066 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6067 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6068 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6070 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6071 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6072 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6073 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6075 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6076 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6077 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6078 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6079 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6080 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6081 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6082 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6083 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6084 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6085 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6086 trivial: move one line.
6087 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6089 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6090 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6091 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6092 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6093 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6094 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6095 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6096 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6097 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6098 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6099 with an event loop for example.
6102 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6103 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6104 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6105 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6106 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6107 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6108 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6109 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6110 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6113 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6114 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6115 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6116 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6117 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6118 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6121 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6122 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6123 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6124 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6126 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6127 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6128 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6129 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6133 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6134 (still largely untested)
6137 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6138 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6141 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6142 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6145 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6146 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6147 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6150 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6151 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6152 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6153 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6154 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6157 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6160 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6161 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6162 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6163 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6164 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6168 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6169 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6172 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6175 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6176 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6177 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6178 are otherwise ignored at present.
6181 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6182 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6183 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6184 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6185 copied until the next read.
6188 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6189 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6190 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6193 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6194 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6195 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6196 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6197 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6198 associated functions.
6201 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6202 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6203 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6204 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6205 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6206 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6207 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6208 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6209 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6213 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6214 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6215 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6216 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6219 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6220 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6221 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6222 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6223 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6227 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6228 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6232 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6233 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6234 extensions to be obtained and added.
6237 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6238 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6241 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6243 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6244 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6246 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6247 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6249 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6253 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6254 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6255 DH parameters contain its length).
6257 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6258 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6259 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6260 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6261 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6262 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6263 utter importance to use
6264 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6266 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6267 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6268 attacks may become possible!
6271 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6274 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6275 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6278 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6279 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6280 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6284 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6285 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6286 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6287 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6288 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6289 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6290 private key operations.
6293 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6296 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6297 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6299 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6300 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6301 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6302 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6303 the password callback is called.
6304 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6306 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6308 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6309 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6310 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6311 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6312 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6313 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6316 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6317 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6318 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6319 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6320 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6321 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6324 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6327 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6328 delete an unused file.
6331 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6332 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6333 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6334 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6337 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6338 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6339 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6343 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6344 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6345 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6347 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6348 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6349 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6350 comparison" warnings.
6351 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6354 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6355 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6356 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6359 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6360 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6362 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6363 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6365 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6366 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6367 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6369 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6370 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6371 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6372 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6373 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6375 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6377 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6378 The interface is as follows:
6379 Applications can use
6380 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6381 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6382 "off" is now the default.
6383 The library internally uses
6384 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6385 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6386 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6388 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6389 even the default) are now avoided.
6391 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6392 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6393 than just having a counter.
6395 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6397 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6401 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6402 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6403 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6404 Initial "mode" flags are:
6406 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6407 a single record has been written.
6408 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6409 retries use the same buffer location.
6410 (But all of the contents must be
6414 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6417 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6418 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6420 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6421 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6422 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6425 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6426 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6428 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6430 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6431 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6432 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6433 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6435 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6436 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6438 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6439 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6440 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6441 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6442 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6443 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6446 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6447 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6448 necessary function names.
6451 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6452 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6453 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6454 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6457 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6458 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6459 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6462 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6463 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6464 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6465 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6467 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6471 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6472 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6473 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6476 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6477 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6481 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6482 for the encoded length.
6483 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6485 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6488 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6489 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6490 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6491 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6494 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6495 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6496 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6498 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6499 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6500 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6504 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6505 to use the new extension code.
6508 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6509 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6510 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6514 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6515 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6516 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6520 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6523 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6524 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6525 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6528 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6529 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6530 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6531 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6534 *) DES library cleanups.
6537 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6538 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6539 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6540 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6541 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6545 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6546 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6549 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6550 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6551 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6552 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6553 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6554 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6555 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6556 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6557 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6560 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6561 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6562 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6563 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6564 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6565 value doesn't matter.
6568 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6572 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6573 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6574 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6575 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6577 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6580 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6581 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6582 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6584 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6585 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6587 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6590 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6593 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6596 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6600 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6602 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6604 *) Updated some demos.
6605 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6607 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6610 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6613 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6616 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6617 instead of using a fixed path.
6620 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6623 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6627 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6629 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6630 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6631 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6633 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6634 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6635 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6636 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6637 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6638 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6639 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6640 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6641 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6642 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6645 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6646 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6649 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6650 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6651 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6652 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6653 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6655 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6658 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6659 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6660 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6663 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6666 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6667 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6668 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6669 key elements as negative integers.
6672 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6673 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6676 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6678 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6679 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6680 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6683 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6684 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6685 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6686 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6687 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6690 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6693 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6694 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6695 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6696 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6698 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6699 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6700 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6702 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6703 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6704 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6705 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6706 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6707 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6708 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6709 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6710 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6712 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6713 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6714 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6715 does not influence s as it used to.
6717 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6718 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6719 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6720 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6721 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6722 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6725 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6726 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6727 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6731 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6732 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6733 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6737 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6738 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6739 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6743 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6744 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6747 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6748 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6753 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6754 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6756 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6757 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6759 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6762 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6765 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6766 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6768 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6769 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6770 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6774 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6775 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6776 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6777 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6778 now it really counts the depth.
6781 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6782 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6783 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6784 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6785 didn't match the private key).
6787 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6788 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6789 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6792 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6795 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6799 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6800 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6801 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6804 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6807 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6808 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6809 such as /usr/local/bin.
6812 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6813 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6815 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6818 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6819 extension adding in x509 utility.
6822 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6825 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6829 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6832 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6833 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6834 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6835 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6836 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6837 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6838 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6839 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6840 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6841 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6844 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6847 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6848 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6851 *) Fix some race conditions.
6854 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6855 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6858 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6861 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6862 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6863 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6864 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6866 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6867 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6869 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6870 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6871 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6873 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6874 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6876 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6879 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6880 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6882 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6885 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6886 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6888 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6889 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6892 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6893 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6896 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6897 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6900 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6901 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6904 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6905 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6908 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6909 support typesafe stack.
6912 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6913 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6915 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6916 old X509V3 handling code.
6919 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6922 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6925 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6928 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6929 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6931 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6932 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6933 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6934 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6935 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6938 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6939 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6940 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6941 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6942 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6944 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6945 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6946 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6947 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6949 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6950 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6951 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6952 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6954 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6955 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6956 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6957 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6958 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6959 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6962 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6963 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6966 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6967 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6970 *) Tweaks to Configure
6971 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6973 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6977 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6980 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6981 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6984 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6985 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6986 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6989 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6992 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6993 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6996 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6997 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6998 to library startup routines.
7001 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7002 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7003 codes along the way.
7006 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7007 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7008 objects to objects.h
7011 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7012 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7015 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7016 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7018 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7019 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7020 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7022 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7023 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7024 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7026 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7027 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7028 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7031 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7033 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7034 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7037 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7038 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7039 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7040 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7041 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7043 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7044 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7045 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7047 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7049 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7051 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7053 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7054 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7056 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7057 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7058 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7059 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7061 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7064 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7065 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7066 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7067 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7070 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7071 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7072 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7075 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7076 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7077 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7078 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7079 installed as `perl').
7080 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7082 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7083 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7085 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7086 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7087 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7088 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7089 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7092 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7095 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7096 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7097 is horrible: I feel ill....
7100 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7101 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7102 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7103 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7106 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7107 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7109 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7110 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7111 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7112 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7114 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7115 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7116 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7117 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7118 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7119 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7121 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7123 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7124 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7126 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7127 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7129 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7132 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7133 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7137 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7138 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7139 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7140 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7141 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7142 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7143 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7144 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7145 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7146 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7147 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7149 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7152 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7153 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7154 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7155 for linking it into DSOs.
7156 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7158 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7162 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7163 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7164 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7165 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7166 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7167 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7169 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7170 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7171 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7172 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7173 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7174 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7175 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7177 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7178 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7179 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7183 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7184 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7185 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7186 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7189 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7190 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7191 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7192 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7193 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7197 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7198 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7199 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7200 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7201 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7203 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7204 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7205 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7207 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7208 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7210 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7211 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7212 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7213 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7214 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7217 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7218 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7219 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7220 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7221 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7222 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7223 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7226 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7228 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7229 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7232 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7233 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7235 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7236 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7239 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7240 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7241 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7242 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7243 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7245 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7246 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7247 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7248 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7249 no way to reconfigure them.
7250 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7251 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7252 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7253 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7254 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7255 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7257 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7258 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7259 recognized by the users.
7260 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7262 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7263 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7264 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7265 already masked variable.
7266 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7268 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7269 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7271 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7272 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7273 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7274 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7276 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7277 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7278 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7280 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7281 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7282 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7283 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7284 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7285 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7286 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7287 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7289 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7291 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7292 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7293 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7295 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7296 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7300 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7301 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7303 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7304 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7305 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7306 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7309 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7312 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7313 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7315 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7318 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7319 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7322 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7323 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7326 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7327 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7328 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7329 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7330 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7331 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7332 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7335 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7336 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7338 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7339 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7340 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7341 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7342 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7344 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7345 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7346 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7349 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7350 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7354 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7355 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7356 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7358 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7359 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7360 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7364 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7365 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7366 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7367 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7370 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7371 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7372 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7373 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7376 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7377 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7378 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7379 so it wasn't spotted.
7380 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7382 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7383 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7384 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7385 vectors if you have them.
7388 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7389 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7392 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7393 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7394 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7395 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7397 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7398 it will update them.
7401 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7402 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7403 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7404 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7405 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7406 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7407 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7408 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7410 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7411 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7412 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7413 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7414 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7415 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7416 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7417 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7418 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7419 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7421 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7422 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7423 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7424 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7425 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7428 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7432 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7433 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7435 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7436 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7438 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7439 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7442 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7443 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7445 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7446 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7448 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7451 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7455 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7456 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7457 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7458 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7460 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7463 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7466 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7469 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7470 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7473 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7474 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7478 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7479 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7482 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7483 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7484 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7487 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7488 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7489 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7490 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7491 properly to be processed.
7494 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7495 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7496 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7499 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7500 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7502 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7503 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7504 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7505 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7506 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7507 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7508 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7509 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7510 or delete all the .err files.
7513 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7514 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7515 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7516 to regenerate it if needed.
7517 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7518 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7520 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7521 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7523 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7524 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7525 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7526 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7527 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7530 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7531 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7533 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7534 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7536 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7537 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7538 error, but didn't set one).
7539 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7541 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7544 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7545 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7548 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7549 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7551 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7552 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7553 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7554 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7555 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7556 OID is not part of the table.
7559 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7560 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7563 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7566 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7567 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7571 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7572 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7574 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7576 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7578 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7579 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7581 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7582 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7584 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7585 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7587 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7588 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7591 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7592 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7595 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7596 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7598 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7599 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7601 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7602 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7604 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7605 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7607 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7608 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7609 unused in the certificate verification process.
7610 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7612 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7613 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7616 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7617 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7618 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7620 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7621 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7622 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7623 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7624 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7626 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7627 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7630 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7633 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7636 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7637 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7639 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7642 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7645 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7648 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7649 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7650 other error libraries.
7653 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7656 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7657 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7661 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7662 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7663 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7664 the new set of documenation files.
7665 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7667 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7668 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7669 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7670 number of arguments.
7671 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7673 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7676 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7677 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7678 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7680 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7683 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7687 unixware-2.0-pentium
7691 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7692 before they are needed.
7695 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7699 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7701 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7702 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7703 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7705 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7708 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7709 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7710 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7712 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7713 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7714 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7716 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7717 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7718 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7720 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7721 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7723 *) Updated the README file.
7724 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7726 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7727 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7728 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7730 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7731 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7732 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7734 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7735 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7736 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7737 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7738 o removed obsolete TODO file
7739 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7742 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7743 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7744 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
7745 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
7746 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
7747 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7748 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7750 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7753 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7754 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7755 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7757 [The OpenSSL Project]
7760 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7762 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7765 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7768 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7769 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7772 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7773 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7777 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7779 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7781 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7784 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7787 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7790 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7793 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7796 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7799 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7802 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7805 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7808 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7811 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7814 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7817 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7820 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7823 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7826 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7829 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7832 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7833 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7834 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7837 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7838 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7841 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7844 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7847 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7848 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7851 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7854 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7857 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7858 bytes sent in the client random.
