5 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
9 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
11 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
12 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
13 before trying to build now.*
16 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
20 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
22 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
23 the application's responsibility. The application provides
24 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
25 used to authenticate the peer.
27 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
28 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
29 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
30 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
31 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
34 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
35 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
36 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
37 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
38 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
39 or the 1.1.0 releases.
41 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
42 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
43 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
44 support for the deprecated features from the library and
45 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
46 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
47 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
48 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
51 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
52 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
53 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
54 compile with later releases.
56 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
57 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
58 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
59 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
60 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
63 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
64 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
65 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
66 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
67 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
68 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
69 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
70 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
73 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
76 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
77 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
78 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
81 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
82 include the ec.h header file instead.
85 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
86 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
87 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
90 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
91 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
94 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
95 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
97 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
98 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
99 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
102 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
103 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
104 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
105 an already created structure.
106 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
107 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
108 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
109 for deprecated builds.
112 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
113 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
114 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
115 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
116 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
117 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
118 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
121 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
122 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
123 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
124 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
127 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
128 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
131 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
132 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
135 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
136 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
137 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
138 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
139 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
140 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
141 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
145 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
146 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
147 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
150 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
153 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
155 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
157 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
159 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
160 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
168 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
169 set a mandatory field to NULL.
171 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
172 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
173 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
177 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
180 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
181 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
182 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
183 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
186 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
187 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
188 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
189 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
192 *) Fix no-stdio build.
193 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
194 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
196 *) New testing framework
197 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
198 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
199 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
200 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
201 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
202 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
204 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
206 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
207 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
211 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
212 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
213 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
214 and others were changed. All are now documented.
217 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
219 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
221 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
222 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
224 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
225 original RSA_PSK patch.
228 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
229 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
230 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
231 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
234 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
235 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
238 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
239 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
240 hasn't been working properly for a while.
243 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
244 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
245 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
246 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
250 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
251 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
252 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
253 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
256 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
257 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
258 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
259 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
260 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
261 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
264 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
265 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
266 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
267 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
268 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
269 header file has been removed.
272 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
273 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
276 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
277 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
278 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
280 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
284 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
287 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
291 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
294 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
295 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
296 initial patch which was a great help during development.
299 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
300 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
301 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
302 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
305 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
306 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
307 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
308 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
309 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
310 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
313 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
314 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
315 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
316 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
319 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
320 compatible client hello.
323 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
324 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
325 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
327 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
330 *) Removed old DES API.
333 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
339 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
344 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
347 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
348 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
349 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
350 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
351 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
352 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
353 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
354 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
355 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
356 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
357 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
360 *) Cleaned up dead code
361 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
364 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
365 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
366 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
369 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
370 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
371 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
374 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
375 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
376 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
378 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
379 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
380 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
382 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
384 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
386 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
387 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
388 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
390 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
391 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
393 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
394 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
397 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
398 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
399 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
400 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
402 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
403 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
404 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
405 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
407 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
408 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
409 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
411 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
412 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
415 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
417 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
418 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
420 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
421 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
423 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
426 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
430 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
431 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
432 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
433 algorithms and include tests cases.
436 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
440 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
441 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
444 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
445 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
447 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
448 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
451 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
452 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
456 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
457 sign or verify all in one operation.
460 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
461 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
462 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
465 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
468 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
471 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
472 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
473 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
474 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
475 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
478 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
482 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
483 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
484 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
487 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
488 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
491 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
494 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
495 POST to handle HMAC cases.
498 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
499 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
502 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
503 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
504 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
507 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
508 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
509 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
510 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
511 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
512 requested amount of entropy.
515 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
516 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
519 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
520 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
521 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
525 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
526 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
527 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
530 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
531 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
532 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
533 will never use XTS mode.
536 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
537 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
538 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
539 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
540 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
541 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
544 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
545 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
546 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
547 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
550 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
551 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
552 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
555 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
558 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
561 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
562 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
565 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
566 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
569 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
570 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
573 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
574 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
575 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
576 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
577 and rename any affected symbols.
580 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
581 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
584 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
585 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
586 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
589 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
592 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
593 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
594 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
597 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
598 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
601 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
602 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
603 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
604 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
605 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
606 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
610 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
611 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
612 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
613 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
614 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
615 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
616 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
617 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
620 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
621 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
624 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
626 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
627 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
629 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
630 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
631 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
632 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
633 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
634 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
636 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
637 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
638 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
640 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
642 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
646 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
647 Add CMAC pkey methods.
650 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
651 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
652 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
655 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
656 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
657 multi-process servers.
660 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
661 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
662 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
663 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
664 RAND_METHOD structure.
667 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
668 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
669 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
670 whose return value is often ignored.
673 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
675 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
677 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
678 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
679 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
680 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
681 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
682 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
683 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
684 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
685 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
686 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
687 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
688 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
690 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
694 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
696 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
697 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
698 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
699 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
700 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
701 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
702 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
705 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
709 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
711 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
712 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
713 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
714 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
716 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
721 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
722 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
723 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
724 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
727 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
729 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
731 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
733 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
735 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
736 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
737 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
738 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
739 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
740 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
742 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
746 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
748 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
749 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
753 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
755 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
757 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
758 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
761 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
762 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
763 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
764 client authentication enabled.
766 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
770 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
772 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
773 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
774 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
777 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
778 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
779 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
780 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
781 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
784 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
785 independently by Hanno Böck.
789 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
791 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
792 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
793 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
795 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
796 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
797 servers are not affected.
799 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
803 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
805 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
806 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
807 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
809 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
813 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
815 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
816 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
817 a double free of the ticket data.
821 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
822 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
823 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
826 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
828 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
830 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
831 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
832 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
834 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
837 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
839 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
841 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
842 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
843 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
844 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
845 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
846 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
847 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
848 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
850 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
854 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
856 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
857 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
858 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
859 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
860 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
861 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
862 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
863 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
866 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
870 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
872 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
873 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
874 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
875 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
876 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
877 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
881 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
883 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
884 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
885 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
886 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
887 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
888 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
889 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
891 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
895 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
897 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
898 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
899 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
901 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
902 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
903 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
908 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
910 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
911 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
912 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
914 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
915 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
916 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
918 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
922 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
924 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
925 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
926 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
928 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
929 (OpenSSL development team).
933 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
935 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
936 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
937 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
941 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
943 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
944 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
945 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
946 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
947 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
948 SSL_client_methodv23)
949 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
950 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
952 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
953 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
954 output may be predictable.
956 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
957 succeed on an unpatched platform:
959 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
963 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
965 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
966 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
967 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
968 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
969 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
970 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
972 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
977 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
979 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
980 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
982 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
986 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
989 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
991 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
992 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
993 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
994 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
995 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
996 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
999 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1000 (other platforms pending).
1001 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1003 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1004 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1007 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1008 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1009 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1012 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1013 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1014 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1015 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1018 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1019 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1021 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1022 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1023 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1024 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1025 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1027 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1030 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1031 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1032 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1033 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1035 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1037 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1039 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1040 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1041 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1044 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1047 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1048 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1049 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1052 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1053 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1056 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1057 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1060 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1061 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1062 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1063 algorithms and include tests cases.
1066 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1068 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1070 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1071 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1074 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1075 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1076 summary of the connection parameters.
1079 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1080 of connection parameters.
1083 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1084 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1086 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1087 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1090 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1093 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1094 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1097 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1098 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1101 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1105 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1106 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1107 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1110 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1113 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1114 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1117 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1118 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1119 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1123 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1124 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1127 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1131 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1135 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1136 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1137 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1138 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1141 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1142 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1145 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1146 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1147 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1151 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1152 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1153 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1154 use the certificate.
1157 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1160 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1161 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1162 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1163 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1164 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1165 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1166 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1168 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1169 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1173 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1174 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1175 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1178 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1179 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1180 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1181 supported signature algorithms.
1184 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1187 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1188 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1189 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1190 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1191 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1192 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1193 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1196 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1197 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1198 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1199 to have similar checks in it.
1201 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1202 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1203 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1204 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1205 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1208 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1209 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1210 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1211 shared signature algorithms.
1214 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1215 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1219 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1220 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1221 it couldn't be removed.
1224 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1225 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1228 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1229 functions. Add manual page.
1230 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1232 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1233 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1237 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1238 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1240 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1241 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1242 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1243 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1247 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1248 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1251 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1252 platform support for Linux and Android.
1255 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1258 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1259 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1260 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1261 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1262 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1265 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1266 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1267 the new parameter format automatically.
1270 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1271 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1274 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1277 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1278 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1279 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1280 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1281 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1284 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1285 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1286 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1287 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1288 to set list of supported curves.
1291 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1292 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1293 to print out received values.
1296 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1297 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1298 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1301 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1302 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1305 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1306 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1309 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1313 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1315 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1316 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1317 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1319 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1321 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1322 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1324 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1326 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1327 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1328 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1329 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1333 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1334 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1335 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1336 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1337 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1338 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1342 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1343 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1344 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1345 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1349 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1352 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1353 reporting this issue.
1357 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1358 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1359 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1360 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1361 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1362 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1366 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1367 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1368 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1369 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1370 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1371 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1372 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1377 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1378 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1380 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1381 and can vary with the CTX.
1384 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1386 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1387 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1388 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1389 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1390 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1392 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1394 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1395 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1397 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1399 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1400 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1401 errors for some broken certificates.
1403 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1405 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1407 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1408 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1410 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1411 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1412 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1413 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1415 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1416 of the OpenSSL core team.
1421 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1422 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1423 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1424 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1425 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1426 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1427 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1428 the OpenSSL core team.
1432 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1433 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1434 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1435 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1436 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1438 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1439 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1440 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1443 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1444 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1445 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1446 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1447 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1449 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1450 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1451 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1454 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1456 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1458 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1459 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1460 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1461 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1462 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1463 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1464 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1466 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1470 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1472 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1473 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1474 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1475 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1476 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1481 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1483 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1484 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1485 configured to send them.
1487 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1489 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1490 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1491 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1493 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1495 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1497 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1498 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1499 DigestInfo structures.
1501 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1505 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1507 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1508 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1509 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1511 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1512 Group for discovering this issue.
1516 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1517 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1518 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1519 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1520 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1522 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1523 researching this issue.
1527 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1528 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1529 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1530 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1532 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1537 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1538 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1539 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1543 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1544 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1545 Denial of Service attack.
1546 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1550 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1551 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1552 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1553 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1558 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1559 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1560 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1562 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1567 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1568 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1569 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1570 Denial of Service attack.
1572 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1573 discovering and researching this issue.
1577 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1578 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1579 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1580 output to the attacker.
1582 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1584 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1586 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1587 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1588 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1591 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1593 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1594 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1595 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1597 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1598 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1599 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1601 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1602 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1605 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1607 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1609 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1610 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1611 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1612 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1614 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1615 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1617 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1618 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1620 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1621 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1622 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1624 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1626 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1628 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1629 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
1630 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1632 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1633 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1635 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1637 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1638 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1641 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1642 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1643 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1644 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1646 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1647 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1648 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1649 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1651 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1652 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1653 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1655 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1657 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1658 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1659 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1660 is at least 512 bytes long.
1662 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1664 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1666 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1667 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1668 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1671 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1672 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1673 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1676 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1677 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1678 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1679 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1680 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1681 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1682 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1684 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1686 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1687 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1688 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1690 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1692 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1694 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1695 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1696 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1698 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1699 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1700 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1701 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1703 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1705 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1706 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1707 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1708 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1709 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1713 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1714 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1717 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1718 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1720 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1721 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1722 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1723 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1724 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1726 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1729 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1733 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1735 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1736 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1738 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1739 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1743 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1744 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1747 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1751 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1753 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1754 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1755 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1756 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1757 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1758 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1759 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1760 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1761 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1762 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1765 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1766 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1767 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1768 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1769 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1770 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1774 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1776 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1777 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1778 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1780 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1781 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1783 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1785 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1788 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1789 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1791 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1792 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1793 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1794 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1795 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1796 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1797 Most broken servers should now work.
1798 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1799 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1802 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1805 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1807 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1808 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1811 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1812 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1813 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1814 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1815 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1818 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1819 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1820 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
1821 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1822 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1825 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1826 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1828 *) Add support for SCTP.
1829 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1831 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1832 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1834 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1836 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1837 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1838 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1839 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1840 - s390x: z196 support;
1841 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1845 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1846 (removal of unnecessary code)
1847 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1849 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1852 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1855 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1856 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1857 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1859 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1861 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1862 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1863 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1864 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1865 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1867 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1868 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1869 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1871 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1872 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1873 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1875 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1876 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1878 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1880 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1881 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1882 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1885 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1886 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1890 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1891 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1892 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1895 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1896 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1897 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1898 the appropriate parameters.
1901 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1902 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1903 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1904 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1905 against a number of sample certificates.
1908 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1909 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1911 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1912 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1914 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1915 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1919 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1923 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1924 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1925 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1926 password based CMS).
1929 *) Session-handling fixes:
1930 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1931 but also support Session Tickets.
1932 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1933 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1934 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1935 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1936 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1937 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1939 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1942 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1944 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1947 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1948 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1949 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1950 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
1951 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1954 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1955 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1958 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1959 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1960 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1963 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1964 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
1965 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
1966 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1969 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1970 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1971 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1974 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1975 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1977 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1980 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1981 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1984 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1987 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1988 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1991 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1992 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1995 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1998 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1999 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2000 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2003 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2006 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2009 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2010 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2013 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2014 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2015 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2018 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2021 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2025 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2026 FIPS modules versions.
2029 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2030 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2031 until after the certificate request message is received.
2034 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2035 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2036 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2037 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2040 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2041 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2042 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2043 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2046 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2047 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2048 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2049 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2050 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2051 and version checking.
2054 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2055 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2056 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2057 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2061 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2063 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2066 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2067 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2068 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2070 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2071 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2072 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2075 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2076 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2078 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2079 a few changes are required:
2081 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2082 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2083 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2084 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2085 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2088 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2090 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2091 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2092 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2093 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2094 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2095 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2096 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2097 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2098 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2101 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2102 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2103 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2106 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2108 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2109 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2110 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2111 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2114 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2116 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2117 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2118 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2119 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2120 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2121 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2122 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2123 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2124 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2125 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2126 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2127 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2128 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2130 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2132 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2134 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2135 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2136 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2137 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2139 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2140 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2142 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2143 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2144 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2145 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2147 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2148 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2150 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2151 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2153 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2154 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2156 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2157 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2158 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2160 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2161 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2162 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2164 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2165 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2166 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2167 the last update always remained unused).
2168 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2170 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2171 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2173 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2175 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2176 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2177 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2179 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2180 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2181 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2183 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2186 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2187 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2188 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2191 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2192 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2194 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2196 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2198 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2200 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2201 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2203 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2204 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2208 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2210 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2211 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2212 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2215 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2216 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2217 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2220 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2222 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2223 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2224 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2227 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2231 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2233 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2235 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2237 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2239 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2240 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2241 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2244 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2247 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2248 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2249 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2251 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2252 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2253 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2256 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2257 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2260 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2261 some responders need this.
2264 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2266 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2268 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2269 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2270 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2273 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2276 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2277 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2278 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2279 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2280 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2281 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2282 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2283 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2286 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2287 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2288 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2289 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2291 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2292 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2294 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2298 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2299 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2300 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2301 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2302 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2303 attempting to work them out.
2306 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2307 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2308 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2309 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2312 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2313 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2314 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2315 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2316 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2319 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2320 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2327 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2329 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2333 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2334 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2336 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2337 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2339 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2340 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2341 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2342 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2343 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2346 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2347 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2348 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2351 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2352 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2355 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2356 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2358 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2359 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2362 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2365 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2366 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2367 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2371 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2372 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2373 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2374 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2375 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2376 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2379 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2380 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2382 This work was sponsored by Google.
2385 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2386 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2387 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2388 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2389 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2390 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2391 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2394 This work was sponsored by Google.
2397 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2399 This work was sponsored by Google.
2402 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2403 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2404 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2405 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2407 This work was sponsored by Google.
2410 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2411 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2412 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2413 CRL functionality in future.
2415 This work was sponsored by Google.
2418 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2420 This work was sponsored by Google.
2423 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2424 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2426 This work was sponsored by Google.
2429 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2430 and URI types are currently supported.
2432 This work was sponsored by Google.
2435 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2436 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2437 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2438 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2439 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2440 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2441 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2442 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2444 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2445 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2446 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2448 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2449 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2450 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2451 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2453 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2454 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2455 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2456 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2457 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2458 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2459 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2460 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2462 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2464 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2465 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2466 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2468 This work was sponsored by Google.
2471 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2474 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2475 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2476 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2479 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2480 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2483 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2484 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2487 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2488 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2489 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2490 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2491 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2492 content types and variants.
2495 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2498 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2499 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2500 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2501 files from the associated perl scripts.
2504 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2505 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2506 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2508 *) s390x assembler pack.
2511 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2515 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2516 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2517 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2518 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2519 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2520 to use. For example, specify an option
2522 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2524 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2525 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2526 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2527 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2528 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2529 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2531 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2532 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2533 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2534 return non-zero for success.
2536 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2539 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2540 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2544 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2547 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2548 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2549 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2550 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2551 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2552 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2553 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2554 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2555 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2557 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2558 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2559 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2560 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2561 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2562 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2564 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2565 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2566 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2567 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2568 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2569 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2573 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2576 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2578 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2579 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2580 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2583 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2584 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2587 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2588 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2589 with no application modification.
2591 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2592 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2594 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2595 or server extensions to be examined.
2597 This work was sponsored by Google.
2600 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2601 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2602 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2604 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2605 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2606 ciphersuite support.
2607 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2609 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2610 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2611 to output in BER and PEM format.
2614 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2615 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2616 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2617 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2618 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2621 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2622 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2623 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2627 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2628 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2629 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2630 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2631 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2632 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2633 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2634 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2637 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2638 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2639 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2640 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2642 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2643 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2644 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2648 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2649 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2650 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2651 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2652 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2653 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2654 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2655 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2656 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2658 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2659 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2660 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2661 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2662 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2663 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2664 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2665 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2666 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2667 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2668 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2671 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2672 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2673 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2675 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2676 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2680 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2681 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2682 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2685 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2686 it yet and it is largely untested.
2689 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2692 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2693 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2694 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2697 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2700 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2701 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2702 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2703 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2706 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2707 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2708 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2709 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2710 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2713 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2714 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2717 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2718 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2719 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2720 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2723 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2724 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2725 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2726 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2729 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2730 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2733 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2734 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2735 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2736 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2739 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2740 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2741 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2744 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2748 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2749 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2752 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2753 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2754 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2758 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2759 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2760 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2763 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2764 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2765 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2766 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2769 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2770 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2771 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2772 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2773 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2774 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2777 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2778 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2779 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2780 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2781 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2783 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2784 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2785 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2786 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2787 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2790 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2791 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2792 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2793 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2795 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2796 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2797 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2798 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2799 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2805 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2806 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2810 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2811 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2814 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2815 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2818 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2819 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2820 functional reference processing.
2823 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2824 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2828 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2829 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2830 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2833 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2834 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2835 application to support multiple signers.
2838 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2842 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2843 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2844 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2845 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2846 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2849 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2853 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2854 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2855 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2856 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2860 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2861 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2862 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2863 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
2864 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2865 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2866 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2867 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2870 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2871 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2872 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2873 between digests and public key types.
2876 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2877 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2878 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2879 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2882 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2883 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2887 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2890 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2894 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2895 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2896 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2897 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2902 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2904 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2906 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2908 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2909 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2910 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2911 functionality for RSA.
2914 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2915 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2916 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2919 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2920 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2923 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2924 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2925 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2928 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2929 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2932 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2933 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2936 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2937 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2941 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2942 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2943 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2947 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2948 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2949 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2950 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2951 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2952 of public and private key structures.
2955 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2956 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2959 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2960 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2961 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2964 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2968 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2969 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2970 SSL_get_psk_identity
2971 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2973 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2975 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2976 and response verification functionality.
2977 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2979 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2980 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2981 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2982 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2983 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2984 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2985 server_name extension.
2987 New functions (subject to change):
2989 SSL_get_servername()
2990 SSL_get_servername_type()
2993 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2995 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2996 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2997 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2998 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2999 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3001 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3003 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3004 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3005 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3006 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3007 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3008 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3011 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3013 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3016 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3017 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3018 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3019 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3020 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3023 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3024 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3028 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3029 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3030 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3031 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3034 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3035 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3036 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3037 using the maximum available value.
3040 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3041 in addition to the text details.
3044 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3045 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3046 handle several customised structures at all.
3049 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3050 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3051 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3054 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3057 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3058 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3059 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3062 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3063 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3064 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3067 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3068 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3072 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3075 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3078 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3080 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3081 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3082 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3083 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3084 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3085 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3086 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3087 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3089 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3090 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3091 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3093 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3095 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3096 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3098 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3099 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3102 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3103 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3104 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3107 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3108 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3109 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3110 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3111 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3112 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3115 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3116 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3117 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3120 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3121 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3122 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3123 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3124 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3125 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3129 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3130 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3133 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3134 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3135 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3138 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3141 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3142 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3143 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3144 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3145 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3146 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3147 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3148 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3149 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3152 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3153 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3154 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3157 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3158 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3161 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3162 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3163 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3164 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3165 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3166 know what you are doing.
3167 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3169 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3170 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3171 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3172 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3173 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3174 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3178 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3179 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3180 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3182 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3184 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3185 warnings in other configurations.
3188 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3189 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3190 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3192 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3194 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3195 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3196 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3198 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3199 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3200 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3201 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3204 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3208 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3209 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3211 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3213 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3214 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3215 other than a simple chain.
3216 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3218 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3219 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3220 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3221 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3224 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3225 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3226 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3227 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3228 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3229 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3230 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3231 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3232 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3234 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3235 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3236 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3237 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3238 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3239 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3241 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3243 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3244 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3247 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3248 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3251 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3253 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3255 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3256 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3257 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3258 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3259 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3263 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3265 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3266 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3267 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3268 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3270 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3271 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3272 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3273 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3275 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3276 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3277 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3280 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3281 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3285 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3286 to handle some structures.
3289 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3291 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3293 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3296 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3299 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3302 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3303 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3307 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3309 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3311 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3313 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3316 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3317 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3318 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3319 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3321 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3322 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3324 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3325 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3328 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3329 s_client and s_server.
3332 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3333 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3335 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3336 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3338 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3339 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3340 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3341 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3342 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3345 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3347 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3348 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3351 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3352 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3355 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3356 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3357 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3358 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3360 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3361 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3363 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3365 *) Various precautionary measures:
3367 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3369 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3370 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3371 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3373 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3374 outside the expected range.
3376 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3379 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3381 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3382 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3383 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3385 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3388 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3391 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3393 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3396 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3397 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3398 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3400 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3403 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3404 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3405 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3409 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3411 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3412 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3413 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3414 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3416 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3417 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3420 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3422 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3423 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3424 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3426 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3428 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3429 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3430 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3431 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3434 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3435 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3436 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3437 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3438 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3439 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3440 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3442 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3444 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3445 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3446 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3447 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3448 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3450 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3451 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3453 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3454 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3455 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3456 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3457 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3459 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3461 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3462 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3463 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3464 sets may exist with different names.
3467 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3468 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3469 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3470 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3471 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3472 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3473 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3474 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3475 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3477 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3479 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3480 implemention in the following ways:
3482 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3485 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3486 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3487 ignored for embedded content.
3489 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3490 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3493 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3494 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3495 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3496 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3498 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3499 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3502 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3503 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3506 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3507 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3508 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3509 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3510 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3511 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3515 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3516 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3517 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3521 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3522 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3523 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3524 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3525 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3526 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3527 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3528 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3530 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3531 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3532 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3533 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3534 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3535 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3536 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3538 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3539 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3540 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3541 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3542 to s_client and s_server.
3545 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3547 *) Fix various bugs:
3548 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3549 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3550 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3551 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3552 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3554 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3556 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3557 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3558 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3559 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3560 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3561 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3562 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3563 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3566 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3567 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3568 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3571 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3572 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3573 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3576 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3577 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3580 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3581 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3582 with no application modification.
3584 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3585 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3587 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3588 or server extensions to be examined.
3590 This work was sponsored by Google.
3593 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3594 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3595 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3596 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3597 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3598 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3599 server_name extension.
3601 New functions (subject to change):
3603 SSL_get_servername()
3604 SSL_get_servername_type()
3607 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3609 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3610 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3611 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3612 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3613 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3615 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3617 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3618 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3619 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3620 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3621 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3622 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3625 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3627 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3630 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3633 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3634 (which previously caused an internal error).
3637 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3640 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3641 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3643 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3644 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3645 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3647 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3648 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
