5 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000]
7 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
11 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
12 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
13 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
14 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
15 request is improperly encoded.
18 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
19 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
22 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
23 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
25 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
26 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
30 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
31 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
32 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
35 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
36 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
37 BIO/fp routines also added.
40 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
41 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
43 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
44 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
48 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
49 generation and verification.
52 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
53 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
54 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
55 encode and decode it manually.
58 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
60 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
62 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
63 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
64 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
65 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
67 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
68 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
69 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
70 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
71 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
74 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
77 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
78 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
79 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
81 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
82 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
85 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
86 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
88 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
90 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
91 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
93 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
95 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
96 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
97 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
101 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
102 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
103 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
104 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
108 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
110 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
113 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
114 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
115 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
116 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
117 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
118 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
119 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
120 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
121 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
122 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
123 short or long names are found.
126 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
127 [Scott Uroff scott@xypro.com]
129 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
130 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
131 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
132 version rollback attacks was not effective.
134 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
135 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
136 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
137 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
140 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
141 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
142 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
145 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
146 these print out strings and name structures based on various
147 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
148 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
149 to allow the various flags to be set.
152 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
153 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
154 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
155 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
159 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
160 negative public key encodings) on by default,
161 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
164 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
165 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
166 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
169 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
170 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
173 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
174 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
175 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
176 are always statically linked for now, but there are
177 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
178 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
181 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
182 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
186 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
190 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
191 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
192 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
193 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
194 form signing output easier to verify.
197 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
200 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
201 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
202 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
203 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
204 are needed because all other string types have virtually
205 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
206 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
207 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
208 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
209 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
212 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
214 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
215 the syntax given in objects.README.
216 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
218 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
221 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
222 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
223 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
224 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
225 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
226 consistent name changes.
229 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
232 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
233 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
234 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
235 environment variable, or the default random state file.
238 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
239 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
240 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
244 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
245 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
246 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
247 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
250 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
251 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
252 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
253 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
254 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
255 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
256 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
257 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
258 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
259 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
263 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
264 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
265 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
266 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
267 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
268 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
269 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
270 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
271 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
272 algorithm to openssl-dev.
275 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
276 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
277 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
278 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
280 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
281 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
282 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
283 omit any duplicate addresses.
286 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
287 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
290 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
291 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
292 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
293 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
294 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
297 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
299 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
300 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
301 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
305 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
306 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
310 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
312 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
313 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
314 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
315 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
316 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
320 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
321 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
322 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
323 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
324 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
325 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
326 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
329 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
330 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
331 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
332 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
333 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
334 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
335 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
336 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
337 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
338 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
339 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
342 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
343 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
344 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
345 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
346 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
348 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
349 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
350 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
351 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
352 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
354 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
357 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
358 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
359 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
360 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
362 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
364 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
367 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
368 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
369 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
372 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
373 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
374 any installed hardware versions can.
377 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
378 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
379 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
383 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
384 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
385 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
386 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
387 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
389 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
390 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
393 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
394 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
397 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
398 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
399 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
403 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
406 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
407 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
408 but no ssl client purpose.
409 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
411 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
412 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
413 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
414 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
415 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
416 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
417 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
418 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
419 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
420 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
421 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
424 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
425 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
426 be obtained from the error queue.
429 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
430 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
431 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
432 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
435 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
438 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
439 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
440 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
441 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
442 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
445 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
446 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
447 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
448 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
449 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
452 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
453 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
454 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
456 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
458 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
459 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
460 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
461 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
462 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
463 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
464 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
465 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
466 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
467 or "the configuration storage API"...
469 The new configuration file reading functions are:
471 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
472 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
474 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
476 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
478 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
479 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
480 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
481 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
482 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
483 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
484 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
486 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
487 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
490 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
491 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
492 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
493 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
496 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
497 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
498 them in a portable way.
499 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
501 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
503 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
505 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
506 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
508 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
509 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
510 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
513 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
514 was larger than the MD block size.
515 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
517 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
518 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
519 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
520 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
524 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
525 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
526 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
528 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
530 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
532 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
533 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
534 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
535 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
536 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
537 Additional arguments are always ignored.
539 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
540 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
542 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
543 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
546 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
549 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
550 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
552 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
553 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
554 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
555 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
558 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
559 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
560 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
561 does not suppress any output.
564 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
565 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
566 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
567 with all the associated security issues.
569 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
570 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
571 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
572 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
573 use the value in the default purpose.
576 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
577 and fix a memory leak.
580 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
581 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
582 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
583 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
586 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
587 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
588 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
589 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
592 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
593 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
594 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
597 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
598 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
601 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
602 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
606 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
607 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
610 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
611 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
612 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
615 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
616 number generation fails.
619 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
622 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
623 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
625 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
628 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
629 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
631 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
632 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
634 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
636 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
637 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
640 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
641 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
643 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
644 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
647 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
648 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
649 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
650 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
651 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
652 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
654 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
655 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
656 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
660 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
661 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
662 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
663 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
664 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
665 counter, some don't.)
666 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
667 counters or duplicate objects.
670 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
671 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
674 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
675 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
676 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
678 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
679 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
680 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
684 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
685 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
688 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
689 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
690 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
694 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
695 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
696 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
699 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
700 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
701 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
702 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
703 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
704 should work without changes.
707 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
708 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
709 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
710 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
711 must be defined. E.g.,
712 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
713 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
714 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
715 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
717 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
721 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
722 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
723 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
726 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
727 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
728 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
729 request header lines. Some software needs this.
732 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
733 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
734 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
735 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
736 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
737 is prompted for as usual.
740 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
741 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
742 autodetect the card and use it if present.
743 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
745 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
746 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
747 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
748 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
751 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
754 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
758 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
761 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
764 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
768 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
771 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
774 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
775 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
778 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
779 options to produce them.
782 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
783 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
786 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
790 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
791 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
792 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
793 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
794 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
795 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
796 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
799 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
802 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
803 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
804 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
807 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
808 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
810 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
811 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
814 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
815 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
816 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
820 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
821 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
823 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
824 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
825 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
826 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
827 generation becomes much faster.
829 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
830 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
831 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
832 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
833 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
834 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
835 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
836 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
837 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
838 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
841 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
842 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
843 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
844 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
845 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
846 trial division stage.
849 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
853 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
856 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
859 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
860 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
861 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
865 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
866 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
867 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
870 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
871 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
872 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
873 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
875 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
876 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
879 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
882 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
883 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
884 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
885 Rabin-Miller iterations.
888 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
889 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
890 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
893 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
894 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
895 (instead of parameters) in future.
898 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
899 when a new cipher list is set.
902 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
903 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
906 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
907 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
908 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
910 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
911 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
912 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
915 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
916 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
917 the readability was also increased :-)
918 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
920 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
921 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
922 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
923 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
927 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
928 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
931 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
932 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
933 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
934 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
937 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
938 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
939 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
940 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
941 because they handle more complex structures.)
944 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
945 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
947 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
949 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
950 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
951 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
952 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
953 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
954 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
955 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
958 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
959 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
960 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
961 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
962 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
965 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
968 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
969 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
970 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
971 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
972 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
975 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
979 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
980 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
981 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
982 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
985 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
988 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
989 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
990 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
991 international characters are used.
993 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
994 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
995 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
999 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
1000 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
1001 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
1004 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
1005 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
1006 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
1007 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
1008 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
1009 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
1011 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
1012 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
1013 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
1014 be handled by the string table functions.
1016 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
1017 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
1018 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
1019 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
1020 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
1024 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
1025 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
1026 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
1027 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
1028 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
1030 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
1031 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
1032 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
1033 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
1036 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
1037 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
1038 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
1039 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
1040 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
1044 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
1045 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
1046 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
1047 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
1048 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
1049 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
1050 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
1051 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
1053 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
1054 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
1055 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
1058 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
1059 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
1060 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
1061 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
1062 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
1063 support to pkcs8 application.
1066 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
1067 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
1068 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
1069 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
1070 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
1071 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
1074 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
1075 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
1076 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
1077 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
1078 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
1082 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
1083 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
1084 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
1085 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
1089 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
1090 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
1091 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
1092 and any application specific purposes.
1094 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
1095 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
1096 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
1097 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
1098 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
1099 if the certificate is self signed.
1102 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
1103 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
1106 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
1107 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
1108 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
1109 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
1112 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
1113 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
1114 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
1115 Update documentation.
1118 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
1119 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
1120 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
1121 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
1122 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
1125 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
1127 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
1129 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
1130 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
1131 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
1132 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
1133 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
1134 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
1135 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
1136 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
1137 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
1138 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
1140 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
1142 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1143 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1144 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
1145 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
1146 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
1148 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
1149 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
1150 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
1151 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
1152 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
1153 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
1154 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
1155 request additional information:
1156 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
1157 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
1159 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
1160 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
1161 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
1164 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
1165 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
1168 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
1171 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
1172 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1174 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
1175 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
1176 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
1180 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
1181 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
1182 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
1184 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
1185 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
1186 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
1187 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
1188 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
1189 included in OpenSSL.
1192 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
1193 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
1194 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
1195 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
1196 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
1197 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
1200 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
1204 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
1205 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
1206 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
1207 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
1208 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
1212 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
1216 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
1217 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
1218 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
1219 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
1220 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
1221 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
1222 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
1223 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
1224 be maintained manually.
1226 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
1227 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
1228 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
1229 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
1230 work because people forget to call this function]
1231 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
1232 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
1233 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
1236 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
1237 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
1238 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
1239 should be discouraged from doing it.
1242 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
1243 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
1244 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
1245 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
1246 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
1247 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
1250 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
1251 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
1252 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
1254 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
1255 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
1256 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
1258 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
1259 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
1260 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
1261 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
1262 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
1263 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
1265 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
1266 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
1267 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
1269 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
1270 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
1273 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
1274 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
1275 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
1276 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
1279 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
1282 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
1283 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
1284 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
1285 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
1286 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
1287 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
1288 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
1289 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
1290 keys so we should be OK.
1292 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
1293 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
1294 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
1295 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
1296 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
1297 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
1298 stay in the name of compatibility.
1300 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
1301 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
1302 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
1304 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
1305 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
1306 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
1307 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
1308 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
1309 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
1313 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
1314 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
1315 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
1316 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
1317 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
1318 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
1319 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
1320 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
1321 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
1322 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
1323 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
1324 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
1325 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
1328 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
1331 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
1332 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
1333 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
1334 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
1335 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
1336 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
1337 single self signed certificate. This means that:
1338 openssl verify ss.pem
1339 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
1340 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
1344 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
1345 (and add it to external session representation).
1346 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
1347 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
1348 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
1349 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
1350 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
1351 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
1353 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
1355 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
1356 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
1357 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
1358 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
1360 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
1361 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
1362 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
1365 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
1366 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
1367 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
1371 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
1372 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
1373 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
1375 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
1376 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
1377 certificate auxiliary information.
1380 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
1384 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
1385 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
1386 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
1387 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
1388 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
1389 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
1390 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
1393 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
1394 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
1397 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
1398 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
1399 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
1400 manpages and fix a few bugs.
1403 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
1406 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
1407 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
1410 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
1411 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
1412 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
1413 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
1414 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
1415 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
1416 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
1417 using the new 'x509' options.
1419 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
1420 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
1421 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
1422 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
1426 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
1427 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
1428 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
1429 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
1430 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
1433 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
1434 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
1435 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
1436 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
1437 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
1438 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
1439 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
1440 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
1441 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
1442 the key length and effective key length are equal.
1445 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
1446 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
1447 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
1448 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
1449 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
1450 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
1451 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
1454 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
1455 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
1456 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
1457 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
1458 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
1459 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
1460 openssl.cnf for more info.
1463 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
1464 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
1465 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
1466 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
1467 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
1468 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
1469 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
1470 md should be large enough anyway.
1473 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
1474 for handling the random seed file.
1476 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
1478 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
1481 x509 (when signing).
1482 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
1483 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
1484 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
1486 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
1487 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
1488 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
1489 that support '-rand'.
1492 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
1493 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
1496 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
1497 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
1500 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
1501 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
1502 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
1503 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
1507 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
1508 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
1509 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
1510 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
1513 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
1514 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
1515 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
1516 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
1517 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
1518 print out all the purposes.
1521 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
1525 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
1526 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
1527 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
1528 single function call.
1531 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
1532 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
1535 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
1536 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
1537 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
1540 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
1541 when producing the local key id.
1542 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
1544 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
1545 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
1546 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
1550 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
1551 a public key to be input or output. For example:
1552 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
1553 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
1556 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
1557 in the message. This was handled by allowing
1558 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
1559 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
1561 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
1562 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
1563 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
1564 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1566 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
1567 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
1568 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
1569 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
1570 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
1571 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
1572 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
1573 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
1574 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
1575 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
1576 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
1577 trivial: move one line.
1578 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
1580 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
1581 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
1582 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
1583 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
1584 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
1585 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
1586 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
1587 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
1588 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
1589 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
1590 with an event loop for example.
1593 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
1594 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
1595 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
1596 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
1597 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
1598 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
1599 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
1600 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
1601 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
1604 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
1605 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
1606 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
1607 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
1608 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
1609 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
1612 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
1613 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
1614 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
1615 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
1617 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
1618 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
1619 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
1620 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
1624 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
1625 (still largely untested)
1628 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
1629 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
1632 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
1633 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
1636 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
1637 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
1638 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
1641 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
1642 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
1643 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
1644 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
1645 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
1648 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
1651 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
1652 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
1653 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
1654 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
1655 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
1659 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
1660 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
1663 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
1666 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
1667 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
1668 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
1669 are otherwise ignored at present.
1672 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
1673 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
1674 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
1675 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
1676 copied until the next read.
1679 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
1680 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
1681 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
1684 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
1685 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
1686 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
1687 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
1688 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
1689 associated functions.
1692 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
1693 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
1694 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
1695 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
1696 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
1697 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
1698 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
1699 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
1700 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
1704 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
1705 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
1706 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
1707 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
1710 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
1711 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
1712 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
1713 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
1714 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
1718 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
1719 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
1723 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
1724 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
1725 extensions to be obtained and added.
1728 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
1729 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
1732 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
1734 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
1735 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1737 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
1738 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
1740 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
1744 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
1745 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
1746 DH parameters contain its length).
1748 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
1749 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
1750 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
1751 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
1752 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
1753 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
1754 utter importance to use
1755 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
1757 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
1758 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
1759 attacks may become possible!
1762 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
1765 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
1766 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
1769 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
1770 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
1771 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
1775 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
1776 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
1777 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
1778 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
1779 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
1780 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
1781 private key operations.
1784 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
1787 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
1788 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
1790 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
1791 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
1792 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
1793 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
1794 the password callback is called.
1795 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
1797 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
1799 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
1800 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
1801 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
1802 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
1803 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
1804 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
1807 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
1808 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
1809 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
1810 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
1811 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
1812 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
1815 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
1818 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
1819 delete an unused file.
1822 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
1823 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
1824 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
1825 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
1828 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
1829 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
1830 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
1834 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
1835 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
1836 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
1838 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
1839 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
1840 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
1841 comparison" warnings.
1842 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
1845 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
1846 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
1847 derived keys are printed to stderr.
1850 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
1851 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
1853 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
1854 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
1856 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
1857 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
1858 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
1860 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
1861 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
1862 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
1863 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
1864 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
1866 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
1868 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
1869 The interface is as follows:
1870 Applications can use
1871 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
1872 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
1873 "off" is now the default.
1874 The library internally uses
1875 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
1876 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
1877 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
1879 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
1880 even the default) are now avoided.
1882 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
1883 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
1884 than just having a counter.
1886 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
1888 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
1892 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
1893 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
1894 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
1895 Initial "mode" flags are:
1897 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
1898 a single record has been written.
1899 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
1900 retries use the same buffer location.
1901 (But all of the contents must be
1905 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
1908 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
1909 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
1911 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
1912 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
1913 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
1916 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
1917 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
1919 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
1921 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
1922 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
1923 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
1924 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
1926 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
1927 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
1929 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
1930 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
1931 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
1932 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
1933 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
1934 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
1937 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
1938 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
1939 necessary function names.
1942 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
1943 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
1944 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
1945 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
1948 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
1949 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
1950 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
1953 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
1954 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
1955 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
1956 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
1958 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
1962 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
1963 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
1964 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
1967 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
1968 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
1972 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
1973 for the encoded length.
1974 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
1976 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
1979 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
1980 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
1981 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
1982 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
1985 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
1986 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
1987 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1989 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
1990 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
1991 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
1995 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
1996 to use the new extension code.
1999 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
2000 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
2001 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
2005 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
2006 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
2007 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
2011 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
2014 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
2015 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
2016 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
2019 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
2020 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
2021 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
2022 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
2025 *) DES library cleanups.
2028 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
2029 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
2030 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
2031 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
2032 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
2036 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
2037 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
2040 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
2041 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
2042 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
2043 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
2044 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
2045 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
2046 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
2047 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
2048 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
2051 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
2052 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
2053 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
2054 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
2055 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
2056 value doesn't matter.
2059 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
2063 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
2064 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
2065 "linux-sparc" configuration.
2066 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
2068 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
2071 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
2072 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
2073 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2075 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
2076 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2078 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
2081 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
2084 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
2087 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
2091 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
2093 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
2095 *) Updated some demos.
2096 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
2098 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
2101 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
2104 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
2107 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
2108 instead of using a fixed path.
2111 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
2114 *) Improvements for VMS support.
2118 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
2120 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
2121 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
2122 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2124 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
2125 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
2126 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
2127 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
2128 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
2129 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
2130 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
2131 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
2132 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
2133 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
2136 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
2137 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
2140 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
2141 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
2142 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
2143 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
2144 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
2146 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
2149 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
2150 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
2151 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
2154 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
2157 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
2158 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
2159 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
2160 key elements as negative integers.
2163 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
2164 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2167 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
2169 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
2170 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
2171 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
2174 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
2175 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
2176 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
2177 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
2178 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
2181 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
2184 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
2185 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
2186 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
2187 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2189 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
2190 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
2191 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
2193 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
2194 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
2195 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
2196 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
2197 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
2198 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
2199 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
2200 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
2201 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
2203 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
2204 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
2205 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
2206 does not influence s as it used to.
2208 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
2209 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
2210 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
2211 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
2212 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
2213 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
2216 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
2217 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
2218 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
2222 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
2223 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
2224 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
2228 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
2229 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
2230 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
2234 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
2235 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
2238 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
2239 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2244 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
2245 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2247 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
2248 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2250 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
2253 *) Update HPUX configuration.
2256 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
2257 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2259 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
2260 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
2261 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
2265 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
2266 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
2267 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
2268 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
2269 now it really counts the depth.
2272 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
2273 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
2274 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
2275 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
2276 didn't match the private key).
2278 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
2279 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
2280 connection using the SSL_CTX).
2283 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
2286 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
2290 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
2291 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
2292 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
2295 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
2298 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
2299 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
2300 such as /usr/local/bin.
2303 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
2304 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
2306 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
2309 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
2310 extension adding in x509 utility.
2313 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
2316 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
2320 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
2323 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
2324 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
2325 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
2326 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
2327 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
2328 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
2329 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
2330 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
2331 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
2332 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
2335 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
2338 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
2339 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
2342 *) Fix some race conditions.
2345 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
2346 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
2349 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
2352 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
2353 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
2354 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
2355 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
2357 *) Fix lots of warnings.
2358 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2360 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
2361 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
2362 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2364 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
2365 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2367 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
2370 *) Fix typos in error codes.
2371 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
2373 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
2376 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
2377 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2379 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
2380 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
2383 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
2384 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
2387 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
2388 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
2391 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
2392 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
2395 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
2396 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
2399 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
2400 support typesafe stack.
2403 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
2404 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
2406 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
2407 old X509V3 handling code.
2410 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
2413 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
2416 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
2419 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
2420 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
2422 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
2423 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
2424 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
2425 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
2426 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
2429 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
2430 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
2431 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
2432 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
2433 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
2435 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
2436 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
2437 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
2438 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2440 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
2441 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
2442 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
2443 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2445 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
2446 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
2447 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
2448 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
2449 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
2450 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
2453 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
2454 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
2457 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
2458 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
2461 *) Tweaks to Configure
2462 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
2464 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
2468 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
2471 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
2472 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
2475 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
2476 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
2477 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
2480 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
2483 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
2484 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
2487 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
2488 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
2489 to library startup routines.
2492 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
2493 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
2494 codes along the way.
2497 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
2498 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
2499 objects to objects.h
2502 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
2503 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
2506 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
2507 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
2509 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
2510 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
2511 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
2513 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
2514 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
2515 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2517 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
2518 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
2519 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
2522 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
2524 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
2525 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
2528 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
2529 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
2530 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
2531 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
2532 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
2534 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
2535 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
2536 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
2538 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2540 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
2542 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
2544 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
2545 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2547 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
2548 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
2549 if someone would make that last step automatic.
2550 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
2552 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
2555 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
2556 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
2557 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
2558 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
2561 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
2562 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
2563 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
2566 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
2567 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
2568 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
2569 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
2570 installed as `perl').
2571 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
2573 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
2574 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
2576 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
2577 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
2578 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
2579 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
2580 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
2583 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
2586 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
2587 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
2588 is horrible: I feel ill....
2591 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
2592 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
2593 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
2594 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
2597 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
2598 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2600 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
2601 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
2602 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
2603 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2605 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
2606 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
2607 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
2608 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
2609 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
2610 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
2612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2614 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
2615 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
2617 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
2618 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
2620 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
2623 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
2624 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
2628 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
2629 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
2630 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
2631 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
2632 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
2633 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
2634 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
2635 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
2636 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
2637 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
2638 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2640 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
2643 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
2644 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
2645 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
2646 for linking it into DSOs.
2647 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2649 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
2653 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
2654 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
2655 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
2656 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
2657 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
2658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2660 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
2661 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
2662 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
2663 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
2664 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
2665 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
2666 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2668 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
2669 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
2670 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
2674 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
2675 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
2676 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
2677 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
2680 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
2681 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
2682 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
2683 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
2684 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
2688 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
2689 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
2690 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
2691 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
2692 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2694 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
2695 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
2696 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
2698 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
2699 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
2701 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
2702 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
2703 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
2704 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
2705 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
2708 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
2709 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
2710 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
2711 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
2712 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
2713 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
2714 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
2717 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
2719 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
2720 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
2723 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
2724 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
2726 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
2727 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
2730 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
2731 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
2732 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
2733 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
2734 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
2736 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
2737 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
2738 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
2739 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
2740 no way to reconfigure them.
2741 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
2742 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
2743 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
2744 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
2745 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
2746 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2748 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
2749 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
2750 recognized by the users.
2751 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2753 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
2754 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
2755 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
2756 already masked variable.
2757 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2759 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
2760 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2762 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
2763 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
2764 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
2765 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2767 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
2768 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
2769 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2771 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
2772 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
2773 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
2774 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
2775 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
2776 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
2777 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
2778 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
2780 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2782 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
2783 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
2784 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2786 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
2787 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
2791 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
2792 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
2794 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
2795 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
2796 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
2797 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
2800 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
2803 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
2804 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2806 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
2809 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
2810 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
2813 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
2814 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
2817 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
2818 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
2819 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
2820 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
2821 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
2822 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
2823 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
2826 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
2827 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2829 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
2830 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
2831 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
2832 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
2833 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2835 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
2836 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
2837 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
2840 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
2841 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
2845 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
2846 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
2847 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
2849 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
2850 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
2851 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
2855 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
2856 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
2857 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
2858 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
2861 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
2862 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
2863 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
2864 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
2867 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
2868 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
2869 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
2870 so it wasn't spotted.
2871 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
2873 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
2874 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
2875 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
2876 vectors if you have them.
2879 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
2880 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
2883 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
2884 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
2885 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
2886 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
2888 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
2889 it will update them.
2892 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
2893 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
2894 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
2895 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
2896 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
2897 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
2898 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
2899 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2901 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
2902 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
2903 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
2904 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
2905 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
2906 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
2907 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
2908 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
2909 the crypto/md/ stuff).
2910 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2912 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
2913 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
2914 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
2915 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
2916 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
2919 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
2923 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
2924 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2926 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
2927 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
2929 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
2930 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
2933 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
2934 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
2936 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
2937 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
2939 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
2942 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
2946 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
2947 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
2948 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
2949 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2951 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
2954 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
2957 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
2960 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
2961 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
2964 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
2965 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
2969 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
2970 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
2973 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
2974 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
2975 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
2978 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
2979 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
2980 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
2981 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
2982 properly to be processed.
2985 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
2986 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
2987 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
2990 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
2991 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
2993 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
2994 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
2995 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
2996 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
2997 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
2998 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
2999 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
3000 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
3001 or delete all the .err files.
3004 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
3005 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
3006 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
3007 to regenerate it if needed.
3008 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
3009 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
3011 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
3012 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3014 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
3015 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
3016 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
3017 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
3018 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
3021 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
3022 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3024 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
3025 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3027 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
3028 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
3029 error, but didn't set one).
3030 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3032 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
3035 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
3036 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
3039 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
3040 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
3042 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
3043 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
3044 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
3045 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
3046 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
3047 OID is not part of the table.
3050 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
3051 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
3054 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
3057 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
3058 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
3062 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
3063 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
3065 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
3067 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3069 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
3070 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3072 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
3073 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3075 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
3076 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3078 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
3079 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
3082 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
3083 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
3086 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
3087 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3089 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
3090 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3092 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
3093 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3095 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
3096 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3098 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
3099 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
3100 unused in the certificate verification process.
3101 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3103 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
3104 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
3107 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
3108 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
3109 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
3111 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
3112 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
3113 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
3114 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
3115 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
3117 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
3118 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
3121 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
3124 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
3127 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
3128 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
3130 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
3133 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
3136 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
3139 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
3140 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
3141 other error libraries.
3144 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
3147 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
3148 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
3152 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
3153 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
3154 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
3155 the new set of documenation files.
3156 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3158 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
3159 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
3160 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
3161 number of arguments.
3162 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
3164 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
3167 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
3168 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
3169 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3171 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
3174 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
3178 unixware-2.0-pentium
3182 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
3183 before they are needed.
3186 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
3190 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
3192 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
3193 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
3194 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3196 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
3199 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
3200 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
3201 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3203 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
3204 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
3205 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
3207 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
3208 when "ssleay" is still not found.
3209 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3211 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
3212 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
3214 *) Updated the README file.
3215 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3217 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
3218 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
3219 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3221 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
3222 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
3223 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3225 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
3226 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
3227 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
3228 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
3229 o removed obsolete TODO file
3230 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
3231 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3233 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
3234 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
3235 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
3236 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
3237 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
3238 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
3239 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3241 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
3244 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
3245 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
3246 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
3248 [The OpenSSL Project]
3251 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
3253 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
3256 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
3259 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
3260 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
3263 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
3264 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
3268 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
3270 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
3272 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
3275 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
3278 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
3281 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
3284 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
3287 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
3290 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
3293 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
3296 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
3299 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
3302 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
3305 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
3308 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
3311 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
3314 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
3317 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
3320 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
3323 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
3324 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
3325 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3328 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
3329 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
3332 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
3335 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
3338 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
3339 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
3342 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
3345 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
3348 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
3349 bytes sent in the client random.
