5 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
7 OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
8 and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
10 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
11 -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
12 *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
13 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
15 +) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
18 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
19 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
20 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
21 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
22 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
23 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
24 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
27 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
28 using a local variable.
29 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
31 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
32 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
33 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
35 +) New experimental application configuration code.
38 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
41 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
42 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
44 +) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
45 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
46 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
47 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
49 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
50 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
51 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
53 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6c released [21 dec 2001]
55 +) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
56 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
58 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
59 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
60 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
61 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
64 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
68 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
69 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
70 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
71 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
72 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
74 +) Add option to output public keys in req command.
75 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
77 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
78 returns early because it has nothing to do.
79 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
81 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine and 0.9.7 release:]
82 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
83 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
85 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
86 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
87 (Use engine 'keyclient')
88 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
90 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
91 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
92 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
94 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
96 +) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
97 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
100 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
101 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
103 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
105 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
106 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
107 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
108 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
110 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
111 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
112 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
113 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
115 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
116 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
118 +) New functions/macros
120 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
121 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
122 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
123 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
125 to request calling a callback function
127 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
128 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
130 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
131 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
132 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
133 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
134 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
135 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
136 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
137 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
138 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
139 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
141 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
142 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
145 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
146 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
147 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
150 +) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
151 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
152 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
153 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
154 the configuration scripts.
156 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
157 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
158 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
160 +) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
161 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
163 +) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
164 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
165 when reusing an existing buffer.
168 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
169 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
170 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
172 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
174 +) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
175 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
178 +) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
179 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
182 +) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
183 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
184 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
186 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
188 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
189 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
190 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
191 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
192 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
193 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
194 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
197 +) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
198 with DES_ instead. This because there are increasing clashes with
199 libdes and other des libraries that are currently used by other
200 projects. The old libdes interface is provided, as well as crypt(),
201 if openssl/des_old.h is included. Note that crypt() is no longer
202 declared in openssl/des.h.
204 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
205 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
206 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
207 will be completely removed.
210 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
211 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
212 one of the SSL handshake functions.
213 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
215 +) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
216 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
217 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
218 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
219 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
220 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
221 particular extension is supported.
224 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
225 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
226 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
227 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
228 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
229 the client will at least see that alert.
232 +) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
233 to retain compatibility with existing code.
236 +) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
237 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
238 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
239 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
240 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
241 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
242 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
243 requires the destination to be valid.
245 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
246 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
249 +) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
250 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
251 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
254 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
258 +) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
259 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
261 +) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
262 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
263 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
264 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
265 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
266 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
267 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
268 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
269 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
270 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
271 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
272 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
273 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
274 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
275 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
276 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
277 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
278 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
279 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
283 +) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
286 +) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
287 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
288 become part of libeay.num as well.
291 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
292 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
293 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
295 +) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
296 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
297 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
298 false once a handshake has been completed.
299 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
300 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
301 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
302 client has followed the request.)
305 +) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
306 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
307 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
308 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
311 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
312 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
313 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
314 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
317 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
318 before just sending a HelloRequest.
319 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
321 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
322 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
323 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
324 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
325 may leak via logfiles.)
327 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
328 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
329 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
330 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
334 +) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
337 +) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
338 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
339 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
342 +) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
343 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
346 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
347 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
350 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
351 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
352 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
353 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
354 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
357 +) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
358 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
359 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
360 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
363 +) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
364 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
365 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
366 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
367 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
368 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
371 +) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
372 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
373 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
374 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
375 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
376 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
377 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
378 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
382 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
384 +) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
385 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
388 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
389 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
390 followed by modular reduction.
391 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
393 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
394 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
397 +) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
400 +) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
401 md_data void pointer.
404 +) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
405 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
406 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
407 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
408 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
409 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
412 +) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
413 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
414 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
415 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
416 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
417 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
418 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
419 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
420 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
421 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
422 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
423 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
424 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
425 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
426 rather than letting it slide.
428 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
429 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
430 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
433 +) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
434 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
435 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
436 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
437 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
438 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
439 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
440 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
441 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
444 +) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
445 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
446 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
447 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
448 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
450 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
453 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
454 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
455 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
456 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
459 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
462 +) Add EVP test program.
465 +) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
468 +) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
469 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
470 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
471 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
472 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
475 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
476 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
479 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
480 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
481 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
482 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
483 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
484 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
486 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
488 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
489 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
490 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
491 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
492 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
494 +) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
495 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
496 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
497 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
498 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
499 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
500 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
502 +) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
503 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
504 the number of header dependencies.
507 +) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
508 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
509 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
510 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
514 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
517 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
518 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
519 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
520 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
521 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
522 to allow the necessary settings.
525 +) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
526 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
527 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
528 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
529 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
530 functions prevents this.
533 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
534 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
535 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
536 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
539 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
540 dh->length and always used
542 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
544 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
545 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
546 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
547 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
548 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
553 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
555 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
561 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
562 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
563 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
564 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
566 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
567 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
568 always reject numbers >= n.
571 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
572 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
573 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
574 variable) is not atomic.
577 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID

579 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.

582 +) Cleanup of EVP macros.
585 +) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
589 +) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
590 revocation information is handled using the text based index
591 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
592 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
593 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
596 +) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
599 +) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
600 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
601 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
602 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
604 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
605 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
607 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

609 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
612 +) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
613 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
614 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
615 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
618 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.

625 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
628 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6b released [9 July 2001]
630 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
631 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
632 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
633 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
634 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
635 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
636 to traverse all of 'state'.
638 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
639 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
640 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
642 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
643 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
645 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
646 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
647 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
648 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
649 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
650 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
651 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
652 further strengthens the PRNG.
655 +) Speed up EVP routines.

677 an error message in this case.
680 +) Added the OS2-EMX target.
681 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
683 +) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
684 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
685 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
686 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
687 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
688 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
691 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
694 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
695 positive and less than q.
698 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
699 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
702 +) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
703 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
704 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
705 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
707 +) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
708 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
709 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
710 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
711 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
712 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
716 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
717 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
718 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
719 and interrupts/cancellations.
722 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is

727 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
728 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
731 +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
732 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
736 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
738 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
739 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
740 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
741 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
742 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
743 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
744 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
747 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
748 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
749 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
750 detect the supposedly ignored error.
752 Both problems are now fixed.
755 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
756 (previously it was 1024).
759 +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
760 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
761 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
763 +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
764 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
768 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
769 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
772 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
775 +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
776 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
777 than this minimum value is recommended.
780 +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
781 that are easily reachable.
784 +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
785 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
787 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
789 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
790 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
791 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
792 needed for static libraries under Win32.
795 +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
796 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
797 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
800 +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
801 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
802 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
803 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
804 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
805 internally such as S/MIME.
807 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
808 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
809 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
811 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
815 +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
816 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
817 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
818 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
820 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
822 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
824 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
825 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
826 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
830 +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
831 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
832 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
833 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
834 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
835 a window system and the like.
838 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
839 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
840 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
843 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
844 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
845 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
846 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
847 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
848 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
849 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
850 environment variables.
852 +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
853 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
856 +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
857 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
858 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
859 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
860 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
861 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
862 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
863 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
864 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
868 +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
869 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
873 +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
874 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
875 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
876 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
877 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
878 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
879 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
880 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
883 +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
884 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
885 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
886 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
887 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
888 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
889 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
890 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
891 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
892 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
893 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
894 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
895 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
896 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
897 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
898 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
899 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
902 +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
903 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
904 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
905 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
906 internal engine_int.h header.
909 +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
910 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
911 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
912 modify their own ones).
915 +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
916 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
917 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
918 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
919 later on via ctrl() commands.
920 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
921 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
922 structural references.
923 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
924 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
925 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
926 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
927 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
928 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
929 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
930 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
931 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
932 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
933 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
934 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
937 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
938 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
939 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
942 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
943 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
944 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
945 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
946 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
947 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
950 +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
951 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
952 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
953 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
954 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
955 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
956 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
957 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
960 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
964 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
966 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
967 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
969 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
970 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
971 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
972 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
976 +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
977 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
980 -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
981 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
982 amount of data available.
983 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
984 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
986 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
987 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
988 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
989 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
992 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
993 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
997 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
998 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
999 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
1000 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
1003 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
1006 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
1009 -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
1010 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
1012 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1014 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
1015 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
1016 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
1017 (but broken) behaviour.
1020 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
1022 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
1024 +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1025 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1028 +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1029 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1030 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1031 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1032 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1033 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1034 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1037 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
1038 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
1041 +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1042 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1043 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1044 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1045 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1047 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1048 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1052 +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1054 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1055 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1056 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1058 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1059 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1061 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1062 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1063 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1065 +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1066 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1068 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1069 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1071 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1073 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1074 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1075 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1078 +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1079 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1082 +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1083 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1084 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1085 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1086 is 40 of more characters long.
1089 +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1090 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1094 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
1098 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
1099 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
1101 +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1102 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1105 +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1106 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1110 +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1112 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1113 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1116 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1118 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1119 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1120 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1122 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1123 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1125 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1128 +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1132 +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1133 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1134 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1135 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1137 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1139 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1140 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1142 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
1145 +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1146 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1147 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1148 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1149 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1150 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1152 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1153 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1155 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1156 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1158 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1159 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1161 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1162 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1163 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1164 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1166 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1167 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1169 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1170 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1172 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1173 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1174 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1175 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1176 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1179 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
1180 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
1181 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
1183 +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1184 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1185 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1186 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1189 +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1190 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1191 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1195 +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1196 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1197 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1198 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1199 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1200 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1201 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1202 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1206 +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1207 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1210 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
1211 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
1212 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
1215 +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1216 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1217 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1218 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1221 +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1222 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1223 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1224 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1225 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1226 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1227 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1228 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1229 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1230 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1233 +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1234 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1235 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1236 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1237 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1238 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1239 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1240 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1242 +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1243 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1244 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1245 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1248 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
1249 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
1252 +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1253 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1254 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1255 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1257 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1258 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1259 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1260 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1261 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1265 +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1266 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1267 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1268 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1272 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
1273 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
1275 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
1277 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
1279 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
1280 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
1281 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
1282 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
1285 +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1286 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1287 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1290 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
1293 +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1294 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1295 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1296 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1297 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1300 +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1303 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
1304 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
1305 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1307 +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1308 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1309 option to ocsp utility.
1312 +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1313 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1314 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1315 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1316 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1317 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1318 the request is nonce-less.
1321 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
1324 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1326 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
1327 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
1328 but the code is actually correct.
1331 +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1332 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1333 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1336 +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1337 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1338 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1341 +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1342 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1343 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1344 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1345 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1348 +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1349 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1353 +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1354 additional certificates supplied.
1357 +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1358 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1362 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
1363 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
1364 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
1365 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
1366 and leaves the highest bit random.
1367 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
1369 +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1370 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1371 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
1372 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
1373 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1375 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
1376 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
1377 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
1378 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
1379 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
1380 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
1381 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
1384 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
1387 +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1388 request to response.
1391 +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1392 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1393 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1394 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1395 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1396 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1397 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1398 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1399 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1400 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1401 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1404 +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1405 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1406 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1407 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1410 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
1411 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
1414 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
1415 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
1416 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
1417 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
1421 +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1422 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1424 +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1425 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1426 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1429 -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
1430 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
1431 and break the signature.
1433 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1435 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
1439 +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1440 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1441 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1442 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1443 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1445 +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1446 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1447 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1450 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
1451 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
1452 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
1453 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
1454 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
1457 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
1458 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1460 *) ./config script fixes.
1461 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
1463 +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1464 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1465 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1466 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1467 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1468 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1469 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1470 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1472 +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1473 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1474 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1475 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1476 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1477 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1480 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
1483 +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1484 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1485 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1486 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1487 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1488 printout format cleaned up.
1491 +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1492 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1493 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1494 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1495 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1496 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1497 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1498 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1501 +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1502 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1503 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1504 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1505 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1506 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1507 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1508 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1511 +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1512 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1513 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1514 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1516 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1518 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
1519 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
1520 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
1521 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
1522 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
1524 +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1525 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1526 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1527 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1530 +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1531 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1532 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1533 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1535 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1537 +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1538 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1539 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1540 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1542 +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1543 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1545 +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1546 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1547 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1550 +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1551 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1552 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1555 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
1556 call failed, free the DSA structure.
1559 +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1560 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1561 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1562 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1563 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1564 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1565 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1566 functions are provided:
1568 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1569 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1570 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1571 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1573 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1574 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1575 extended allocation function is enabled.
1576 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1577 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1578 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1580 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
1581 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
1584 +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1585 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1586 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1587 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1588 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1591 +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1592 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1593 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1595 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1596 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1597 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1600 +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1601 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1602 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1603 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1604 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1605 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1606 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1607 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1608 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1611 +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1612 provide utility functions which an application needing
1613 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1614 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1615 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1617 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1618 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1619 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1620 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1621 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1622 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1623 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1624 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1625 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1627 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1628 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1629 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1630 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1633 +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1634 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1635 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1636 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1637 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1638 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1639 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1640 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1641 will be added elsewhere.
1644 +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1645 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1646 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1647 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1650 +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1651 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1652 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1653 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1654 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1655 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1656 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1657 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1658 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1659 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1660 to produce the required SET OF.
1663 +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1664 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1665 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1668 +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1669 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1670 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1671 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1672 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1673 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1676 +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1677 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1678 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1681 +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1682 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1683 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1686 +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1687 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1688 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1689 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1690 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1693 +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1694 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1697 +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1698 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1699 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1700 certifcates and CRLs.
1703 +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1704 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1705 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1708 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
1709 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
1710 when writing a 32767 byte record.
1711 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
1713 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
1714 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
1716 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
1717 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
1718 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
1719 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
1720 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
1722 +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1723 entries for variables.
1726 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
1729 +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1730 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1731 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1732 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1735 +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1736 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1737 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1738 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1739 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1740 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1743 +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1744 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1746 +) Move common extension printing code to new function
1747 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1748 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1751 +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1755 +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1756 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1757 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1758 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1759 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1760 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1763 +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1766 +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1767 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1768 for now but they will eventually go away.
1771 +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1772 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1773 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1774 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1775 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1776 has also been converted to the new form.
1779 +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1780 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1781 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1782 for negative moduli.
1785 +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1786 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1789 +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1793 +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1794 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1795 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1796 type-specific callbacks.
1799 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
1802 +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1804 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1805 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1807 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
1810 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
1813 +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1814 in sections depending on the subject.
1817 +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1821 +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1822 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1823 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1824 be handled deterministically).
1825 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1827 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
1828 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
1831 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
1832 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
1833 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
1834 result of the server certificate verification.)
1837 +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1838 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1839 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1842 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
1843 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
1844 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
1848 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
1849 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
1850 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
1851 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
1852 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
1853 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
1854 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
1855 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
1858 +) New function BN_kronecker.
1861 +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1862 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1863 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1864 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1865 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1868 +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1869 sign of the number in question.
1871 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1873 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1874 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1875 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1876 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1877 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1880 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
1881 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
1882 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
1883 happening the other way round.
1886 +) New function BN_swap.
1889 +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1890 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1891 results on negative inputs.
1894 +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1895 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1896 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1899 +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1900 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1901 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1902 and add new functions:
1911 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1915 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1917 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1918 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1920 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1921 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1922 be reduced modulo m.
1923 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1925 +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1926 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1927 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1928 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1929 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1930 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1934 +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1935 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1936 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1937 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1938 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1940 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1941 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1942 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1946 +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1949 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
1950 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
1953 +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1954 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1957 +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1958 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1959 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1960 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1964 +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1967 +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1970 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
1971 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
1972 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
1973 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
1976 +) Add the following functions:
1978 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1980 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1982 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1984 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1985 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1986 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1987 libraries unless it's really needed.
1989 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1990 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1991 declarations (they differed!).
1994 +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1997 +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2000 +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2003 +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2004 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2007 +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2008 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2009 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2011 +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2012 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2015 +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2018 +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2021 +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2024 +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2025 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2026 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2028 +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2029 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2030 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2031 different shared library filenames on each system.
2034 +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2037 +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2038 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2039 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2041 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2044 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2045 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2046 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2047 binary backward compatibility.
2048 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2049 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2050 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2054 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2055 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2057 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2059 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2060 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2061 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2064 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2066 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2068 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2072 +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2073 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2074 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2075 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2079 +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2082 +) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2083 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2084 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2085 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2089 +) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2092 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2094 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2095 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2096 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2097 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2098 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2100 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2101 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2105 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2108 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2110 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2111 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2112 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2113 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2114 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2115 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2116 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2117 by the Finished messages.
2120 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2121 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2123 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2124 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2125 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2126 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2127 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2131 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2132 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2133 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2134 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2135 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2136 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2137 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2138 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2139 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2143 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2144 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2145 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2146 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2148 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2149 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2150 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2151 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2152 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2155 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2156 been tested well enough.
2159 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2160 it can return incorrect results.
2161 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2162 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2165 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2166 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2167 include zero length content when signing messages.
2170 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2171 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2174 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2177 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2181 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2182 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2183 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2184 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2185 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2186 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2189 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2190 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2192 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2193 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2195 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2196 random number < q in the DSA library.
2199 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2200 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2201 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2202 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2203 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2204 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2205 just makes things more complicated.)
2208 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2212 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2213 work better on such systems.
2214 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2216 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2217 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2218 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2221 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2222 if there was more than one signature.
2223 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2225 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2226 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2227 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2228 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2231 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2232 rather than always using the current time.
2235 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2236 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2237 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2238 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2239 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2240 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2242 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2243 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2245 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2247 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2248 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2249 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2250 the same hash value.
2252 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2253 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2254 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2255 with X509_STORE internally.
2257 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2258 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2260 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2261 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2262 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2263 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2264 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2265 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2266 entirely (maybe later...).
2268 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2270 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2271 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2272 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2273 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2274 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2275 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2276 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2277 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2279 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2280 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2282 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2283 to customise the verify behaviour.
2286 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2287 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2290 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2291 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2292 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2293 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2294 request is improperly encoded.
2297 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2298 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2301 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2302 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2304 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2305 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2309 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2310 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2311 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2314 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2315 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2316 BIO/fp routines also added.
2319 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2320 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2322 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2323 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2324 demos/state_machine.
2327 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2328 generation and verification.
2331 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2332 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2333 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2334 encode and decode it manually.
2337 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2339 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2341 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2342 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2343 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2344 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2346 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2347 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2348 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2349 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2350 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2353 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2356 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2357 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2358 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2360 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2361 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2362 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2363 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2364 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2365 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2366 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2367 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2369 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2370 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2372 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2374 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2375 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2376 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2380 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2381 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2382 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2383 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2387 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2389 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2392 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2393 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2394 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2395 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2396 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2397 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2398 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2399 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2400 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2401 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2402 short or long names are found.
2405 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2406 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2408 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2409 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2410 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2411 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2413 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2414 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2415 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2416 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2419 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2420 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2421 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2424 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2425 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2426 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2427 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2428 to allow the various flags to be set.
2431 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2432 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2433 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2434 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2435 dates to be checked.
2438 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
2439 negative public key encodings) on by default,
2440 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
2443 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
2444 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
2445 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
2448 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2449 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2452 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2453 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2454 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2455 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2456 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2457 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2460 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2461 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2465 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2469 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2470 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2471 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2472 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2473 form signing output easier to verify.
2476 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2479 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2480 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2481 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2482 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2483 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2484 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2485 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2486 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2487 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2488 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2491 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2493 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2494 the syntax given in objects.README.
2495 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2497 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2500 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2501 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2502 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2503 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2504 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2505 consistent name changes.
2508 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2511 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2512 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2513 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2514 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2517 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2518 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2519 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2523 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2524 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2525 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2526 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2529 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2530 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2531 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2532 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2533 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2534 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2535 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2536 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2537 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2538 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2539 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2542 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2543 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2544 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2545 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2546 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2547 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2548 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2549 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2550 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2551 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2554 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2555 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2556 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2557 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2559 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2560 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
2561 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
2562 omit any duplicate addresses.
2565 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2566 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2569 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2570 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2571 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2572 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2573 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2576 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2578 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2579 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2580 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2581 Free => OPENSSL_free
2584 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2585 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2588 *) CygWin32 support.
2589 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2591 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2592 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2593 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2594 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2595 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2599 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2600 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2601 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2602 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2603 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2604 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2605 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2608 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2609 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2610 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2611 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2612 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2613 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2614 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2615 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2616 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2617 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2618 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2621 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2622 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2623 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2624 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2625 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2627 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2628 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2629 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2630 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2631 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2633 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2636 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2637 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2638 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2639 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2641 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2643 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2646 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2647 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2648 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2651 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2652 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2653 any installed hardware versions can.
2656 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2657 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2658 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2662 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2663 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2664 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2665 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2666 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2668 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2669 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2672 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2673 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2676 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2677 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2678 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2682 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2685 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2686 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2687 but no ssl client purpose.
2688 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2690 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2691 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2692 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2693 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2694 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2695 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2696 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2697 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2698 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2699 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2700 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2703 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2704 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2705 be obtained from the error queue.
2708 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2709 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2710 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2711 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2714 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2717 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2718 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2719 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2720 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2721 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
2724 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
2725 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
2726 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
2727 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
2728 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
2731 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
2732 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
2733 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
2735 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
2737 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
2738 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
2739 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
2740 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
2741 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
2742 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
2743 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
2744 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
2745 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
2746 or "the configuration storage API"...
2748 The new configuration file reading functions are:
2750 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
2751 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
2753 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
2755 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
2757 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
2758 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
2759 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
2760 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
2761 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
2762 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
2763 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
2765 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
2766 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
2769 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
2770 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
2771 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
2772 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
2775 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
2776 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
2777 them in a portable way.
2778 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
2780 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
2782 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
2784 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
2785 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
2787 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
2788 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
2789 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
2792 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
2793 was larger than the MD block size.
2794 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
2796 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
2797 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
2798 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
2799 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
2803 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
2804 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
2805 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
2807 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
2809 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
2811 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
2812 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
2813 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
2814 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
2815 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
2816 Additional arguments are always ignored.
2818 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
2819 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
2821 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
2822 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
2825 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
2828 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
2829 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
2831 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
2832 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
2833 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
2834 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
2837 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
2838 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
2839 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
2840 does not suppress any output.
2843 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
2844 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
2845 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
2846 with all the associated security issues.
2848 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
2849 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
2850 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
2851 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
2852 use the value in the default purpose.
2855 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
2856 and fix a memory leak.
2859 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
2860 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
2861 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
2862 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
2865 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
2866 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
2867 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
2868 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
2871 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
2872 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
2873 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
2876 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
2877 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
2880 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
2881 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
2885 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
2886 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
2889 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
2890 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
2891 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
2894 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
2895 number generation fails.
2898 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
2901 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
2902 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
2904 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
2907 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
2908 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
2910 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
2911 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
2913 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
2915 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
2916 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
2919 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
2920 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
2922 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
2923 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
2926 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
2927 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
2928 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
2929 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
2930 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
2931 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
2933 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
2934 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
2935 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
2939 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
2940 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
2941 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
2942 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
2943 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
2944 counter, some don't.)
2945 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
2946 counters or duplicate objects.
2949 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
2950 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
2953 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
2954 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
2955 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
2957 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
2958 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
2959 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
2963 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
2964 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
2967 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
2968 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
2969 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
2973 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
2974 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
2975 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
2978 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
2979 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
2980 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
2981 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
2982 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
2983 should work without changes.
2986 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
2987 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
2988 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
2989 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
2990 must be defined. E.g.,
2991 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
2992 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
2993 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
2994 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
2996 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3000 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3001 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3002 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3005 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3006 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3007 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3008 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3011 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3012 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3013 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3014 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3015 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3016 is prompted for as usual.
3019 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3020 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3021 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3022 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3024 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3025 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3026 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3027 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3030 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3033 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3037 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3040 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3043 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3047 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3050 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3053 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3054 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3057 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3058 options to produce them.
3061 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3062 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3065 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3069 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3070 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3071 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3072 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3073 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3074 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3075 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3078 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3081 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3082 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3083 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3086 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3087 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3089 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3090 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3093 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3094 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3095 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3099 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3100 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3102 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3103 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3104 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3105 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3106 generation becomes much faster.
3108 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3109 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3110 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3111 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3112 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3113 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3114 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3115 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3116 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3117 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3120 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3121 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3122 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3123 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3124 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3125 trial division stage.
3128 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3132 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3135 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3138 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3139 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3140 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3144 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3145 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3146 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3149 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3150 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3151 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3152 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3154 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3155 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3158 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3161 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3162 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3163 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3164 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3167 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3168 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3169 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3172 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3173 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3174 (instead of parameters) in future.
3177 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3178 when a new cipher list is set.
3181 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3182 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3185 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3186 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3187 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3189 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3190 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3191 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3192 an error is flagged.
3194 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3195 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3196 the readability was also increased :-)
3197 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3199 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3200 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3201 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3202 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3206 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3207 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3210 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3211 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3212 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3213 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3216 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3217 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3218 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3219 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3220 because they handle more complex structures.)
3223 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3224 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3225 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3226 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3228 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3229 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3230 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3231 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3232 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3233 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3234 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3237 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3238 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3239 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3240 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3241 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3244 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3247 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3248 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3249 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3250 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3251 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3254 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3258 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3259 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3260 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3261 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3264 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3267 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3268 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3269 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3270 international characters are used.
3272 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3273 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3274 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3278 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3279 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3280 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3283 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3284 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3285 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3286 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3287 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3288 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3290 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3291 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3292 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3293 be handled by the string table functions.
3295 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3296 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3297 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3298 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3299 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3303 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3304 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3305 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3306 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3307 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3309 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3310 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3311 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3312 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3315 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3316 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3317 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3318 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3319 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3323 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3324 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3325 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3326 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3327 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3328 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3329 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3330 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3332 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3333 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3334 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3337 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3338 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3339 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3340 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3341 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3342 support to pkcs8 application.
3345 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3346 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3347 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3348 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3349 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3350 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3353 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3354 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3355 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3356 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3357 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3361 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3362 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3363 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3364 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3368 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3369 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3370 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3371 and any application specific purposes.
3373 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3374 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3375 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3376 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3377 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3378 if the certificate is self signed.
3381 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
3382 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
3385 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
3386 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
3387 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
3388 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
3391 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
3392 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
3393 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
3394 Update documentation.
3397 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
3398 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
3399 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
3400 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
3401 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
3404 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
3406 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
3408 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
3409 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
3410 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
3411 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
3412 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
3413 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
3414 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
3415 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
3416 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
3417 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
3419 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
3421 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3422 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3423 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
3424 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
3425 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
3427 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
3428 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
3429 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
3430 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
3431 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
3432 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
3433 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
3434 request additional information:
3435 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
3436 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
3438 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
3439 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
3440 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
3443 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
3444 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
3447 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
3450 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
3451 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3453 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
3454 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
3455 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
3459 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
3460 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
3461 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
3463 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
3464 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
3465 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
3466 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
3467 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
3468 included in OpenSSL.
3471 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
3472 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
3473 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
3474 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
3475 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
3476 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
3479 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
3483 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
3484 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
3485 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
3486 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
3487 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
3491 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
3495 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
3496 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
3497 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
3498 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
3499 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
3500 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
3501 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
3502 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
3503 be maintained manually.
3505 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
3506 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
3507 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
3508 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
3509 work because people forget to call this function]
3510 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
3511 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
3512 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
3515 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
3516 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
3517 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
3518 should be discouraged from doing it.
3521 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
3522 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
3523 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
3524 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
3525 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
3526 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
3529 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
3530 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
3531 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
3533 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
3534 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
3535 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
3537 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
3538 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
3539 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
3540 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
3541 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
3542 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
3544 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
3545 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
3546 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
3548 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
3549 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
3552 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
3553 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
3554 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
3555 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
3558 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
3561 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
3562 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
3563 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
3564 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
3565 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
3566 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
3567 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
3568 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
3569 keys so we should be OK.
3571 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
3572 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
3573 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
3574 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
3575 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
3576 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
3577 stay in the name of compatibility.
3579 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
3580 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
3581 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
3583 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
3584 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
3585 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
3586 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
3587 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
3588 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
3592 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
3593 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
3594 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
3595 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
3596 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
3597 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
3598 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
3599 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
3600 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
3601 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
3602 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
3603 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
3604 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
3607 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
3610 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
3611 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
3612 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
3613 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
3614 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
3615 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
3616 single self signed certificate. This means that:
3617 openssl verify ss.pem
3618 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
3619 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
3623 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
3624 (and add it to external session representation).
3625 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
3626 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
3627 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
3628 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
3629 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
3630 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
3632 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
3634 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
3635 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
3636 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
3637 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
3639 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
3640 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
3641 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
3644 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
3645 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
3646 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
3650 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
3651 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
3652 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
3654 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
3655 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
3656 certificate auxiliary information.
3659 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
3663 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
3664 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
3665 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
3666 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
3667 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
3668 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
3669 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
3672 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
3673 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
3676 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
3677 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
3678 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
3679 manpages and fix a few bugs.
3682 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
3685 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
3686 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
3689 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
3690 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
3691 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
3692 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
3693 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
3694 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
3695 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
3696 using the new 'x509' options.
3698 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
3699 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
3700 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
3701 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
3705 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
3706 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
3707 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
3708 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
3709 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
3712 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
3713 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
3714 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
3715 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
3716 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
3717 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
3718 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
3719 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
3720 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
3721 the key length and effective key length are equal.
3724 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
3725 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
3726 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
3727 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
3728 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
3729 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
3730 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
3733 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
3734 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
3735 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
3736 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
3737 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
3738 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
3739 openssl.cnf for more info.
3742 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
3743 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
3744 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
3745 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
3746 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
3747 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
3748 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
3749 md should be large enough anyway.
3752 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
3753 for handling the random seed file.
3755 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
3757 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
3760 x509 (when signing).
3761 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
3762 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
3763 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
3765 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
3766 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
3767 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
3768 that support '-rand'.
3771 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
3772 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
3775 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
3776 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
3779 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
3780 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
3781 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
3782 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
3786 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
3787 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
3788 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
3789 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
3792 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
3793 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
3794 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
3795 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
3796 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
3797 print out all the purposes.
3800 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
3804 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
3805 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
3806 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
3807 single function call.
3810 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
3811 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
3814 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
3815 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
3816 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
3819 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
3820 when producing the local key id.
3821 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3823 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
3824 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
3825 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
3829 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
3830 a public key to be input or output. For example:
3831 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
3832 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
3835 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
3836 in the message. This was handled by allowing
3837 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
3838 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
3840 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
3841 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
3842 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
3843 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3845 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
3846 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
3847 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
3848 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
3849 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
3850 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
3851 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
3852 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
3853 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
3854 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
3855 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
3856 trivial: move one line.
3857 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
3859 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
3860 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
3861 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
3862 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
3863 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
3864 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
3865 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
3866 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
3867 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
3868 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
3869 with an event loop for example.
3872 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
3873 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
3874 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
3875 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
3876 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
3877 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
3878 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
3879 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
3880 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
3883 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
3884 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
3885 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
3886 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
3887 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
3888 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
3891 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
3892 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
3893 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
3894 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
3896 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
3897 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
3898 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
3899 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
3903 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
3904 (still largely untested)
3907 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
3908 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
3911 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
3912 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
3915 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
3916 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
3917 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
3920 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
3921 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
3922 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
3923 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
3924 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
3927 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
3930 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
3931 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
3932 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
3933 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
3934 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
3938 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
3939 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
3942 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
3945 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
3946 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
3947 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
3948 are otherwise ignored at present.
3951 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
3952 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
3953 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
3954 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
3955 copied until the next read.
3958 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
3959 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
3960 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
3963 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
3964 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
3965 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
3966 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
3967 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
3968 associated functions.
3971 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
3972 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
3973 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
3974 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
3975 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
3976 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
3977 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
3978 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
3979 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
3983 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
3984 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
3985 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
3986 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
3989 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
3990 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
3991 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
3992 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
3993 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
3997 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
3998 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4002 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4003 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4004 extensions to be obtained and added.
4007 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4008 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4011 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4013 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4016 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4017 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4019 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4023 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4024 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4025 DH parameters contain its length).
4027 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4028 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4029 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4030 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4031 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4032 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4033 utter importance to use
4034 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4036 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4037 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4038 attacks may become possible!
4041 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4044 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4045 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4048 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4049 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4050 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4054 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4055 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4056 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4057 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4058 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4059 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4060 private key operations.
4063 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4066 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4067 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4069 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4070 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4071 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4072 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4073 the password callback is called.
4074 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4076 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4078 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4079 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4080 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4081 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4082 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4083 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4086 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4087 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4088 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4089 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4090 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4091 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4094 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4097 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4098 delete an unused file.
4101 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4102 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4103 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4104 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4107 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4108 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4109 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4113 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4114 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4115 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4117 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4118 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4119 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4120 comparison" warnings.
4121 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4124 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4125 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4126 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4129 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4130 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4132 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4133 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4135 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4136 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4137 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4139 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4140 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4141 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4142 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4143 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4145 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4147 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4148 The interface is as follows:
4149 Applications can use
4150 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4151 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4152 "off" is now the default.
4153 The library internally uses
4154 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4155 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4156 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4158 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4159 even the default) are now avoided.
4161 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4162 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4163 than just having a counter.
4165 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4167 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4171 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4172 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4173 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4174 Initial "mode" flags are:
4176 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4177 a single record has been written.
4178 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4179 retries use the same buffer location.
4180 (But all of the contents must be
4184 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4187 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4188 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4190 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4191 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4192 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4195 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4196 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4198 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4200 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4201 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4202 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4203 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4205 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4206 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4208 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4209 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4210 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4211 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4212 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4213 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4216 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4217 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4218 necessary function names.
4221 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4222 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4223 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4224 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4227 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4228 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4229 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4232 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4233 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4234 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4235 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4237 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4241 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4242 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4243 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4246 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4247 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4251 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4252 for the encoded length.
4253 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4255 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4258 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4259 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4260 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4261 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4264 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4265 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4268 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
4269 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
4270 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
4274 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
4275 to use the new extension code.
4278 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
4279 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
4280 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4284 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4285 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4286 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4290 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4293 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4294 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4295 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4298 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4299 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4300 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4301 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4304 *) DES library cleanups.
4307 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4308 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4309 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4310 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4311 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4315 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4316 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4319 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4320 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4321 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4322 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4323 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4324 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4325 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4326 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4327 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4330 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4331 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4332 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4333 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4334 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4335 value doesn't matter.
4338 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4342 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4343 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4344 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4345 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4347 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4350 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4351 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4352 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4354 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
4355 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4357 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
4360 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
4363 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
4366 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
4370 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
4372 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
4374 *) Updated some demos.
4375 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
4377 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
4380 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
4383 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
4386 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
4387 instead of using a fixed path.
4390 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
4393 *) Improvements for VMS support.
4397 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
4399 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
4400 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
4401 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4403 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
4404 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
4405 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
4406 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
4407 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
4408 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
4409 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
4410 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
4411 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
4412 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
4415 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
4416 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
4419 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
4420 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
4421 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
4422 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
4423 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
4425 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
4428 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
4429 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
4430 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
4433 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
4436 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
4437 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
4438 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
4439 key elements as negative integers.
4442 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
4443 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4446 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
4448 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
4449 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
4450 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
4453 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
4454 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
4455 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
4456 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
4457 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
4460 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
4463 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
4464 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
4465 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
4466 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4468 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
4469 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
4470 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
4472 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
4473 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
4474 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
4475 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
4476 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
4477 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
4478 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
4479 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
4480 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
4482 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
4483 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
4484 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
4485 does not influence s as it used to.
4487 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
4488 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
4489 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
4490 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
4491 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
4492 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
4495 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
4496 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
4497 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
4501 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
4502 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
4503 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
4507 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
4508 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
4509 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
4513 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
4514 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
4517 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
4518 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4523 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
4524 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4526 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
4527 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4529 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
4532 *) Update HPUX configuration.
4535 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
4536 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4538 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
4539 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
4540 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
4544 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
4545 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
4546 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
4547 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
4548 now it really counts the depth.
4551 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
4552 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
4553 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
4554 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
4555 didn't match the private key).
4557 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
4558 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
4559 connection using the SSL_CTX).
4562 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
4565 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
4569 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
4570 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
4571 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
4574 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
4577 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
4578 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
4579 such as /usr/local/bin.
4582 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
4583 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4585 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
4588 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
4589 extension adding in x509 utility.
4592 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
4595 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
4599 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
4602 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
4603 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
4604 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
4605 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
4606 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
4607 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
4608 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
4609 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
4610 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
4611 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
4614 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
4617 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
4618 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
4621 *) Fix some race conditions.
4624 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
4625 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
4628 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
4631 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
4632 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
4633 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
4634 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
4636 *) Fix lots of warnings.
4637 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4639 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
4640 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
4641 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4643 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
4644 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4646 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
4649 *) Fix typos in error codes.
4650 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
4652 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
4655 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
4656 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4658 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
4659 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
4662 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
4663 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
4666 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
4667 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
4670 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
4671 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
4674 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
4675 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
4678 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
4679 support typesafe stack.
4682 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
4683 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
4685 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
4686 old X509V3 handling code.
4689 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
4692 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
4695 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
4698 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
4699 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
4701 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
4702 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
4703 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
4704 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
4705 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
4708 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
4709 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
4710 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
4711 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
4712 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4714 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
4715 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
4716 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
4717 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4719 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
4720 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
4721 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
4722 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4724 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
4725 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
4726 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
4727 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
4728 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
4729 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
4732 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
4733 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
4736 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
4737 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
4740 *) Tweaks to Configure
4741 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4743 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
4747 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
4750 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
4751 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
4754 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
4755 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
4756 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
4759 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
4762 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
4763 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
4766 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
4767 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
4768 to library startup routines.
4771 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
4772 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
4773 codes along the way.
4776 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
4777 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
4778 objects to objects.h
4781 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
4782 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
4785 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
4786 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
4788 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
4789 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
4790 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
4792 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
4793 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4794 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4796 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
4797 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
4798 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
4801 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
4803 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
4804 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
4807 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
4808 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
4809 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
4810 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
4811 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
4813 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
4814 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
4815 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
4817 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4819 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
4821 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
4823 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
4824 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4826 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
4827 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
4828 if someone would make that last step automatic.
4829 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
4831 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
4834 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
4835 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
4836 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
4837 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
4840 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
4841 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
4842 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
4845 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
4846 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
4847 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
4848 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
4849 installed as `perl').
4850 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4852 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
4853 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4855 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
4856 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
4857 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
4858 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
4859 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
4862 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
4865 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
4866 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
4867 is horrible: I feel ill....
4870 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
4871 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
4872 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
4873 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
4876 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
4877 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4879 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
4880 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
4881 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
4882 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4884 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
4885 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
4886 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
4887 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
4888 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
4889 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
4891 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4893 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
4894 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4896 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
4897 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
4899 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
4902 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
4903 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
4907 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
4908 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
4909 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
4910 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
4911 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
4912 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
4913 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
4914 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
4915 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
4916 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
4917 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4919 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
4922 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
4923 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
4924 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
4925 for linking it into DSOs.
4926 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4928 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
4932 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
4933 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
4934 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
4935 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
4936 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
4937 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4939 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
4940 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
4941 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
4942 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
4943 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
4944 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
4945 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4947 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
4948 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
4949 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
4953 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
4954 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
4955 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
4956 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
4959 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
4960 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
4961 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
4962 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
4963 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
4967 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
4968 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
4969 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
4970 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
4971 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4973 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
4974 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
4975 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4977 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
4978 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4980 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
4981 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
4982 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
4983 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
4984 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
4987 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
4988 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
4989 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
4990 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
4991 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
4992 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
4993 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
4996 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
4998 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
4999 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5002 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5003 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5005 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5006 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5009 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5010 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5011 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5012 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5013 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5015 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5016 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5017 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5018 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5019 no way to reconfigure them.
5020 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5021 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5022 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5023 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5024 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5025 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5027 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5028 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5029 recognized by the users.
5030 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5032 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5033 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5034 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5035 already masked variable.
5036 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5038 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5039 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5041 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5042 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5043 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5044 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5046 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5047 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5048 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5050 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5051 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5052 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5053 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5054 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5055 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5056 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5057 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5059 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5061 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5062 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5063 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5065 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5066 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5070 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5071 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5073 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5074 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5075 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5076 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5079 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5082 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5083 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5085 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5088 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5089 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5092 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5093 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5096 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5097 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5098 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5099 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5100 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5101 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5102 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5105 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5106 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5108 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5109 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5110 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5111 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5112 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5114 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5115 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5116 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5119 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5120 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5124 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5125 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5126 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5128 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5129 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5130 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5134 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5135 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5136 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5137 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5140 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5141 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5142 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5143 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5146 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5147 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5148 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5149 so it wasn't spotted.
5150 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5152 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5153 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5154 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5155 vectors if you have them.
5158 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5159 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5162 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5163 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5164 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5165 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5167 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5168 it will update them.
5171 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5172 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5173 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5174 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5175 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5176 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5177 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5178 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5180 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5181 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5182 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5183 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5184 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5185 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5186 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5187 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5188 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5189 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5191 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5192 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5193 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5194 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5195 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5198 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5202 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5203 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5205 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5206 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5208 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5209 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5212 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5213 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5215 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5216 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5218 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5221 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5225 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5226 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5227 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5228 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5230 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5233 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5236 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5239 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5240 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5243 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5244 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5248 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5249 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5252 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5253 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5254 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5257 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5258 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5259 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5260 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5261 properly to be processed.
5264 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5265 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5266 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5269 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
5270 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
5272 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
5273 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
5274 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
5275 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
5276 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
5277 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
5278 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
5279 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
5280 or delete all the .err files.
5283 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5284 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5285 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5286 to regenerate it if needed.
5287 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5288 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5290 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5291 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5293 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5294 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5295 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5296 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5297 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5300 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5301 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5303 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5304 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5306 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5307 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5308 error, but didn't set one).
5309 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5311 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5314 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5315 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5318 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5319 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5321 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5322 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5323 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5324 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5325 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5326 OID is not part of the table.
5329 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5330 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5333 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5336 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5337 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5341 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5342 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5344 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5346 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5348 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5349 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5351 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5352 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5354 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
5355 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5357 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
5358 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
5361 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
5362 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
5365 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
5366 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5368 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
5369 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5371 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
5372 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5374 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
5375 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5377 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
5378 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
5379 unused in the certificate verification process.
5380 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5382 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
5383 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
5386 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
5387 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
5388 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
5390 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
5391 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
5392 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
5393 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
5394 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
5396 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
5397 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
5400 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
5403 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
5406 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
5407 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
5409 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
5412 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
5415 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
5418 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
5419 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
5420 other error libraries.
5423 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
5426 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
5427 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
5431 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
5432 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
5433 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
5434 the new set of documenation files.
5435 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5437 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
5438 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
5439 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
5440 number of arguments.
5441 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
5443 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
5446 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
5447 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
5448 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5450 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
5453 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
5457 unixware-2.0-pentium
5461 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
5462 before they are needed.
5465 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
5469 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
5471 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
5472 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
5473 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5475 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
5478 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
5479 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
5480 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5482 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
5483 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
5484 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
5486 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
5487 when "ssleay" is still not found.
5488 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5490 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
5491 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
5493 *) Updated the README file.
5494 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5496 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
5497 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
5498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5500 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
5501 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
5502 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5504 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
5505 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
5506 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
5507 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
5508 o removed obsolete TODO file
5509 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
5510 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5512 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
5513 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
5514 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
5515 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
5516 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
5517 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
5518 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5520 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
5523 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
5524 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
5525 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
5527 [The OpenSSL Project]
5530 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
5532 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
5535 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
5538 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
5539 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
5542 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
5543 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
5547 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
5549 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
5551 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
5554 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
5557 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
5560 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
5563 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
5566 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
5569 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
5572 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
5575 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
5578 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
5581 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
5584 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
5587 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
5590 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
5593 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
5596 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
5599 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
5602 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
5603 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
5604 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5607 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
5608 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
5611 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
5614 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
5617 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
5618 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
5621 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
5624 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
5627 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
5628 bytes sent in the client random.
