10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
12 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
13 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
16 *) Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY context based on data
17 for methods from providers. This takes an algorithm name and a
18 property query string and simply stores them, with the intent
19 that any operation that uses this context will use those strings
20 to fetch the needed methods implicitly, thereby making the port
21 of application written for pre-3.0 OpenSSL easier.
24 *) The undocumented function NCONF_WIN32() has been deprecated; for
25 conversion details see the HISTORY section of doc/man5/config.pod
28 *) Introduced the new functions EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() and
29 EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex(). The macros EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
30 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() have been converted to functions. See the man
31 pages for further details.
34 *) Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
35 adding missing command flags, better style conformance, documentation
37 [Rich Salz, Richard Levitte]
39 *) s390x assembly pack: add hardware-support for P-256, P-384, P-521,
40 X25519, X448, Ed25519 and Ed448.
43 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
47 *) Deprecated the public definition of ERR_STATE as well as the function
48 ERR_get_state(). This is done in preparation of making ERR_STATE an
52 *) Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored function
53 names that have replaced the older function code based functions.
55 New functions are ERR_get_error_func(), ERR_peek_error_func(),
56 ERR_peek_last_error_func(), ERR_get_error_data(), ERR_peek_error_data(),
57 ERR_peek_last_error_data(), ERR_get_error_all(), ERR_peek_error_all()
58 and ERR_peek_last_error_all().
60 These functions have become deprecated: ERR_get_error_line_data(),
61 ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and
62 ERR_func_error_string().
65 *) Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
66 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
68 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
69 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
70 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
74 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
75 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
76 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
77 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
78 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
79 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
80 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
81 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
82 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
85 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
86 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
87 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
88 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
92 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
93 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
94 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
95 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
96 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
97 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
98 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
99 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
100 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
101 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
102 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
103 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
106 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
107 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
108 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
109 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
110 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
111 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
112 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
115 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
116 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
117 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
118 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
119 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
120 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
121 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
124 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
125 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
126 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
127 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
128 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
131 *) Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
132 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
133 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
134 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
137 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
138 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
139 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
140 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
141 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
145 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
146 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
147 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
150 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
153 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
154 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
155 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
156 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
159 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
162 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
166 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
167 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
168 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
169 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
170 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
171 functions for further details.
174 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
177 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
180 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
183 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
184 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
185 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
186 variables, only functions.
189 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
190 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
191 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
195 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
198 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
201 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
202 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
203 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
204 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
205 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
206 To enable or disable these checks use the control
207 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
210 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
211 #defines are deprecated.
214 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
215 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
216 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
219 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
222 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
223 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
224 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
225 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
228 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
231 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
234 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
235 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
236 for scripting purposes.
239 *) The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
240 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
241 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
242 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
243 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
244 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
245 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
246 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
247 should not use these modes.
250 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
253 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
254 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
257 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
258 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
259 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
260 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
262 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
263 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
264 The configuration option is now deprecated.
267 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
268 digest name in its output.
271 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
272 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
273 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
274 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
276 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
277 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
280 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
281 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
282 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
283 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
285 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
286 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
287 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
289 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
290 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
293 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
296 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
299 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
303 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
304 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
305 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
306 to affine coordinates.
307 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
309 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
310 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
311 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
312 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
313 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
316 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
319 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
322 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
323 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
324 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
325 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
326 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
327 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
329 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
330 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
333 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
336 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
339 *) Change the possible version information given with OPENSSL_API_COMPAT.
340 It may be a pre-3.0.0 style numerical version number as it was defined
341 in 1.1.0, and it may also simply take the major version number.
343 Because of the version numbering of pre-3.0.0 releases, the values 0,
344 1 and 2 are equivalent to 0x00908000L (0.9.8), 0x10000000L (1.0.0) and
345 0x10100000L (1.1.0), respectively.
348 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
350 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
351 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
352 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
353 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
354 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
355 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
356 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
357 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
360 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
363 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
364 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
365 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
368 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
369 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
372 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
373 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
377 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
380 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
383 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
384 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
385 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
386 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
389 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
390 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
393 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
394 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
395 are retained for backwards compatibility.
398 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
399 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
400 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
401 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
402 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
405 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
406 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
407 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
410 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
411 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
414 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
415 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
416 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
419 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
421 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
422 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
423 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
424 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
425 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
426 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
427 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
428 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
432 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
434 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
436 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
437 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
438 algorithm to recover the private key.
440 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
444 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
446 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
447 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
448 algorithm to recover the private key.
450 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
454 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
455 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
456 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
458 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
459 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
460 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
461 provided by the application.
463 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
465 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
466 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
467 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
468 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
469 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
473 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
476 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
477 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
478 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
481 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
482 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
483 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
486 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
487 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
488 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
489 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
490 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
491 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
492 to work in projective coordinates.
493 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
495 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
496 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
497 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
498 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
500 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
502 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
505 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
506 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
507 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
508 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
511 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
512 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
515 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
516 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
517 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
518 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
519 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
521 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
522 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
523 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
524 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
525 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
526 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
528 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
529 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
530 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
531 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
532 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
535 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
536 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
537 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
541 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
542 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
543 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
544 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
545 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
546 multi-version installation is managed.
549 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
550 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
551 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
552 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
553 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
556 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
557 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
558 chosen point SCA attacks.
559 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
561 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
562 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
565 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
566 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
567 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
570 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
571 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
572 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
573 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
574 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
575 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
576 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
577 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
578 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
581 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
582 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
585 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
586 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
589 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
590 binary and prime elliptic curves.
593 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
594 constant time fixed point multiplication.
597 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
598 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
599 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
600 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
601 ECDH derive operations).
602 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
605 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
608 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
609 randomness from the system.
610 [Matthias St. Pierre]
612 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
615 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
616 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
619 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
622 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
623 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
625 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
628 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
629 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
630 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
633 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
637 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
638 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
641 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
644 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
645 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
646 [Matthias St. Pierre]
648 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
649 for the license change).
652 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
653 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
656 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
657 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
658 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
659 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
660 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
661 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
662 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
665 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
666 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
667 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
668 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
669 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
670 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
671 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
672 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
673 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
674 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
675 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
679 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
683 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
684 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
685 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
686 get the search data out of them.
689 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
690 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
691 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
692 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
695 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
697 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
698 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
699 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
700 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
701 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
702 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
704 Some of its new features are:
705 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
706 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
707 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
708 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
709 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
710 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
712 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
714 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
715 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
716 to display all sorts of configuration data.
719 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
722 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
725 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
729 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
730 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
731 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
732 debug (or make silent).
735 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
736 arguments to config / Configure.
739 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
742 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
743 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
744 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
745 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
747 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
748 as documented in RFC6066.
749 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
750 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
752 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
753 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
754 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
755 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
757 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
758 original author does not agree with the license change.
761 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
764 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
765 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
768 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
769 without clearing the errors.
772 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
773 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
774 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
780 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
781 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
782 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
785 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
786 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
787 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
788 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
791 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
792 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
793 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
794 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
795 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
796 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
797 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
800 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
801 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
802 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
803 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
806 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
807 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
808 error code calls like this:
810 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
812 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
813 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
815 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
817 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
820 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
821 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
822 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
823 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
826 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
827 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
828 than just the call where this user data is passed.
831 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
833 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
835 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
836 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
837 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
838 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
839 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
840 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
841 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
845 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
846 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
847 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
851 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
852 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
853 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
855 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
859 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
860 platform rather than 'mingw'.
863 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
864 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
865 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
866 certificates and CRLs.
869 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
870 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
873 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
874 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
877 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
878 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
879 which is the minimum version we support.
882 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
883 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
884 are no longer allowed.
887 *) Add support for ARIA
890 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
891 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
892 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
896 *) Add support for SipHash
899 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
900 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
901 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
902 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
905 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
906 using the algorithm defined in
907 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
910 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
911 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
913 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
916 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
917 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
921 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
923 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
925 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
926 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
927 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
928 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
929 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
931 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
935 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
937 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
938 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
939 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
940 recover the private key.
942 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
943 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
947 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
948 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
949 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
952 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
953 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
956 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
957 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
958 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
959 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
961 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
963 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
966 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
967 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
970 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
971 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
974 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
975 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
976 are no longer allowed.
979 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
981 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
982 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
983 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
984 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
985 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
986 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
987 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
988 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
989 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
990 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
991 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
992 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
993 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
996 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
998 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1000 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1001 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1002 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1003 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1004 so this is considered safe.
1006 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1011 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1013 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1014 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1015 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1016 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1017 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1018 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1020 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1025 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1026 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1027 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1028 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1031 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1033 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1034 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1035 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1036 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1037 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1039 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1040 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1041 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1044 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1048 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1050 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1051 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1052 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1053 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1054 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1055 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1056 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1057 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1058 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1059 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1061 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1062 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1064 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1065 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
1069 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1071 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1073 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1074 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1075 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1076 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1077 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1078 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1079 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1080 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1081 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1082 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1083 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1085 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1086 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1088 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1092 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1094 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1095 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1096 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1098 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1102 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1104 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1105 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1108 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1109 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1110 which is the minimum version we support.
1113 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1115 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1117 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1118 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1119 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1120 and servers are affected.
1122 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1126 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1128 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1130 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1131 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1132 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1134 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1138 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1140 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1141 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1142 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1145 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1149 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1151 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1152 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1153 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1154 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1155 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1156 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1157 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1158 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1159 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1160 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1161 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1162 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1163 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1165 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1169 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1171 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1173 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1174 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1175 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1177 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1181 *) CMS Null dereference
1183 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1184 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1185 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1186 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1187 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1190 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1194 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1196 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1197 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1198 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1199 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1200 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1201 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1202 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1203 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1204 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1205 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1206 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1207 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1208 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1209 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1211 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1212 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1213 providing reproducible case.
1217 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1218 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1221 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1223 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1225 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1226 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1227 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1228 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1229 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1230 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1232 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
1234 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
1238 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1240 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1242 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1243 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1244 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1245 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1246 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1247 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1248 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
1250 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1254 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1256 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1257 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1258 Denial Of Service attack.
1260 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1264 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1265 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1267 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1268 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1269 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1270 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1271 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1272 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1273 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1274 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1275 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1276 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1277 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1278 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1279 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1280 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1281 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1283 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1284 that the connection fails
1286 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1287 very little free memory
1289 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1290 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1291 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1292 memory to service the multiple requests.
1294 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1295 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1296 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1297 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1298 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
1300 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1301 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1304 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1305 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1306 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1307 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1308 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1309 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1310 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1313 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1315 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1316 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1317 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1318 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1319 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1323 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1324 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1325 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1328 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1329 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1330 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1331 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1334 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1335 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1339 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1340 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1341 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1342 no-ops and deprecated.
1345 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1346 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1348 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1350 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1351 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1352 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1355 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1356 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1357 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1358 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1359 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1360 and the validity of object reference counter.
1361 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1363 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1364 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1365 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1366 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1369 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1372 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1373 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1374 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1375 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1377 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1381 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1382 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1385 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1388 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1391 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1392 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1393 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1394 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1395 name and is used as is.
1398 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1399 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1400 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1403 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1404 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1407 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1408 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1412 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1413 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1414 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1415 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1416 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1417 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1418 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1419 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1420 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1423 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1424 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1425 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1426 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1428 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1429 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1430 these have been added.
1433 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1434 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1435 functions for managing these have been added.
1438 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1439 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1440 these have been added.
1443 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1444 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1448 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1451 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1454 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1455 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1458 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1461 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1464 *) Add support for HKDF.
1465 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1467 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1470 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1471 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1472 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1473 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1474 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1475 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1476 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1479 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1480 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1481 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1484 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1485 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1486 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1487 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1488 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1489 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1490 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1492 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1493 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1496 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1499 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1500 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1501 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1502 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1503 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1504 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1508 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1509 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1512 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1513 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1514 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1517 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1518 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1519 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1520 implemented by other servers.
1523 *) Add X25519 support.
1524 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1525 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1526 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1527 key generation and key derivation.
1529 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1533 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1534 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1535 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1536 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1537 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1539 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1540 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1541 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1542 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1543 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1544 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1545 that of a valid user.
1548 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1549 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1550 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1551 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1553 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1554 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1556 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1557 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1558 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1559 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1561 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1562 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1566 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1567 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1568 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1569 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1570 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1571 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1573 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1574 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1575 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1578 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1581 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1582 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1583 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1587 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1588 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1589 old #define's might need to be updated.
1590 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1592 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1595 *) New "unified" build system
1597 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1598 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1600 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1601 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1602 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1604 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1605 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1606 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1607 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1610 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1611 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1612 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1613 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1614 libraries" in INSTALL.
1616 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1619 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1620 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1621 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1622 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1625 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1626 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1628 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1629 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1630 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1631 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1632 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1633 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1634 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1635 have been adapted accordingly.
1638 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1642 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1643 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1644 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1645 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1648 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1649 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1650 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1654 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1655 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1658 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1659 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1660 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1662 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1663 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1664 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1666 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1667 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1669 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1670 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1671 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1672 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1675 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1676 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1677 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1678 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1679 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1683 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1684 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1685 straightforward and less interdependent.
1687 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1688 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1689 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1691 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1692 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1693 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1695 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1696 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1697 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1698 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1700 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1701 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1704 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1705 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1706 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1707 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1711 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1713 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1715 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1716 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1717 before trying to build now.*
1720 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1724 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1726 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1727 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1728 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1729 used to authenticate the peer.
1731 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1732 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1733 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1734 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1735 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1738 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1739 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1740 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1741 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1742 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1743 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1745 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1746 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1747 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1748 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1749 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1750 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1751 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1752 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1755 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1756 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1757 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1758 compile with later releases.
1760 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1761 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1762 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1763 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1764 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1767 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1768 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1769 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1770 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1771 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1772 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1773 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1774 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1777 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1780 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1781 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1782 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1785 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1786 include the ec.h header file instead.
1789 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1790 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1791 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1794 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1795 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1798 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1799 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1801 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1802 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1803 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1806 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1807 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1808 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1809 an already created structure.
1810 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1811 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1812 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1813 for deprecated builds.
1816 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1817 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1818 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1819 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1820 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1821 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1822 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1825 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1826 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1827 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1828 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1831 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1832 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1835 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1836 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1839 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1840 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1841 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1842 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1843 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1844 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1845 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1849 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1850 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1851 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1854 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1857 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1859 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1861 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1863 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1864 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1872 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1873 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1875 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1876 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1877 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1881 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1884 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1885 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1886 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1887 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1890 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1891 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1892 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1893 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1896 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1897 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1898 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1900 *) New testing framework
1901 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1902 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1903 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1904 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1905 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1906 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1908 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1910 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1911 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1915 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1916 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1917 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1918 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1921 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1923 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1925 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1926 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1928 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1929 original RSA_PSK patch.
1932 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1933 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1934 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1935 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1938 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1939 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1942 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1943 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1944 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1947 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1948 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1949 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1950 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1954 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1955 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1956 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1957 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1960 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1961 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1962 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1963 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1964 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1965 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1968 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1969 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1970 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1971 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1972 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1973 header file has been removed.
1976 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1977 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1980 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1981 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1982 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1984 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1988 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1991 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1995 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1998 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1999 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2000 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2003 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2004 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2005 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2006 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2009 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2010 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2011 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2012 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2013 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2014 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2017 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2018 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2019 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2020 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2023 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2024 compatible client hello.
2027 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2028 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2029 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
2031 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2034 *) Removed old DES API.
2037 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2043 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2048 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2051 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2052 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2053 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2054 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2055 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2056 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2057 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2058 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2059 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2060 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2061 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2064 *) Cleaned up dead code
2065 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2068 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2069 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2070 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2073 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2074 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2075 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2078 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2079 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2080 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2082 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2083 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2084 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2086 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2088 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2090 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2091 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2092 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2094 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2095 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2097 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2098 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2101 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2102 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2103 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2104 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2106 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2107 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2108 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2109 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2111 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2112 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2113 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2115 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2116 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2119 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2121 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2122 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2124 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2125 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2127 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2130 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2134 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2135 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2136 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2137 algorithms and include tests cases.
2140 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2144 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2145 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2148 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2149 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2151 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2152 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2155 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2156 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2160 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2161 sign or verify all in one operation.
2164 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2165 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2166 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2169 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2172 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2175 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2176 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2177 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2178 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2179 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2182 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2186 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2187 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2188 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2191 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2194 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2195 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2198 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2199 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2202 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2203 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2204 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2207 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2208 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2209 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2210 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2211 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2212 requested amount of entropy.
2215 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2216 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2219 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2220 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2221 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2225 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2226 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2227 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2230 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2231 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2232 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2233 will never use XTS mode.
2236 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2237 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2238 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2239 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2240 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2241 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2244 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2245 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2246 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2247 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2250 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2251 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2252 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2255 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2258 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2261 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2262 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2265 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2266 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2269 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2270 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2273 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2274 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2275 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2276 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2277 and rename any affected symbols.
2280 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2281 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2284 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2285 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2286 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2289 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2292 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2293 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2294 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2297 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2298 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2301 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2302 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2303 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2304 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2305 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2306 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2310 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2311 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2312 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2313 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2314 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2315 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2316 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2317 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2320 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2321 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2324 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2326 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2327 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2329 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2330 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2331 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2332 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2333 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2334 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2336 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2337 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2338 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2340 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2342 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2346 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2347 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2350 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2351 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2352 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2355 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2356 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2357 multi-process servers.
2360 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2361 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2362 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2363 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2364 RAND_METHOD structure.
2367 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2368 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2369 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2370 whose return value is often ignored.
2373 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2374 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2375 validated when establishing a connection.
2376 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
2378 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2380 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2382 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2383 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2386 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2387 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2388 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2389 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2390 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2393 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2397 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2399 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2400 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2401 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2404 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2405 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2406 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2407 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2408 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2409 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2411 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2415 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2417 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2418 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2419 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2420 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2421 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2422 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2423 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2424 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2425 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2426 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2427 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2428 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2429 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2430 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2431 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2432 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2434 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2438 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2440 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2441 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2442 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2444 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2445 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2446 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2447 applications are not affected.
2449 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2455 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2456 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2457 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2459 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2463 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2464 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2467 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2471 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2472 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2475 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2477 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2478 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2479 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2482 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2483 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2484 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2485 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2486 will need to explicitly call either of:
2488 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2490 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2492 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2493 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2494 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2495 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2496 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2500 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2502 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2503 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2504 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2507 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2512 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2514 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2516 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2517 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2518 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2521 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2522 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2523 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2524 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2525 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2526 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2527 that of a valid user.
2531 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2533 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2534 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2535 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2536 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2537 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2538 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2539 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2540 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2541 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2542 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2543 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2545 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2546 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2547 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2548 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2549 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2551 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2555 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2557 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2558 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2559 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2561 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2562 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2563 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2564 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2565 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2568 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2569 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2570 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2571 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2572 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2573 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2574 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2575 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2576 as command line arguments.
2578 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2579 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2580 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2582 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2586 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2588 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2589 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2590 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2591 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2592 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2594 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2595 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2596 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2597 http://cachebleed.info.
2601 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2602 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2603 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2604 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2607 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2608 *) DH small subgroups
2610 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2611 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2612 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2613 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2614 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2615 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2616 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2617 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2618 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2619 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2621 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2622 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2623 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2624 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2625 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2627 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2628 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2629 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2630 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2632 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2633 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2635 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2639 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2641 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2642 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2643 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2646 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
2647 and Sebastian Schinzel.
2651 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
2653 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2655 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2656 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2657 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2658 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2659 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2660 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2661 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2662 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2663 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2664 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2665 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2666 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
2668 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
2672 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2674 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2675 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2676 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2677 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2678 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2679 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2680 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2683 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
2687 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2689 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2690 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2691 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2692 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2694 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2699 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2700 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2701 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2702 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2705 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
2707 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
2709 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
2711 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2713 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2714 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2715 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2716 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2717 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2718 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2720 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2724 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
2726 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
2727 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2731 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2733 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2735 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2736 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2739 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2740 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2741 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2742 client authentication enabled.
2744 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2748 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2750 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2751 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2752 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2755 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2756 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2757 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2758 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2759 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2762 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2763 independently by Hanno Böck.
2767 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2769 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2770 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2771 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2773 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2774 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2775 servers are not affected.
2777 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2781 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2783 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2784 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2785 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2787 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
2791 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2793 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2794 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2795 a double free of the ticket data.
2799 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
2800 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
2801 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
2804 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2806 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2808 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2809 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2810 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2812 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2815 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2817 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2819 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2820 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2821 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2822 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2823 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2824 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2825 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2826 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2828 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2832 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2834 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2835 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2836 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2837 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2838 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2839 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2840 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2841 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2844 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2848 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2850 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2851 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2852 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2853 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2854 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2855 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2859 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2861 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2862 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2863 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2864 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2865 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2866 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2867 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2869 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2873 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2875 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2876 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2877 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2879 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2880 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2881 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2886 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2888 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2889 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2890 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2892 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2893 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2894 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2896 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2900 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2902 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2903 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2904 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2906 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2907 (OpenSSL development team).
2911 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2913 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2914 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2915 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2919 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2921 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2922 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2923 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2924 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2925 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2926 SSL_client_methodv23)
2927 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2928 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2930 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2931 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2932 output may be predictable.
2934 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2935 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2937 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2941 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2943 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2944 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2945 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2946 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2947 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2948 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2950 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2955 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2957 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2958 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2960 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2964 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2967 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2969 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2970 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2971 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2972 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2973 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2974 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2977 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2978 (other platforms pending).
2979 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2981 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2982 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2985 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2986 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2987 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2990 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2991 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2992 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2993 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2996 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2997 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2999 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
3000 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
3001 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
3002 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
3003 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
3005 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
3008 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
3009 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
3010 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
3011 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
3013 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
3015 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
3017 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
3018 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
3019 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
3022 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
3025 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
3026 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
3027 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
3030 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3031 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3034 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3035 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3038 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3039 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3040 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3041 algorithms and include tests cases.
3044 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3046 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3048 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3049 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3052 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3053 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3054 summary of the connection parameters.
3057 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3058 of connection parameters.
3061 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3062 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
3064 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3065 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3068 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3071 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3072 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3075 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3076 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3079 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3083 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3084 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3085 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3088 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3091 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3092 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3095 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3096 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3097 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3101 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3102 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3105 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3109 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3113 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3114 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3115 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3116 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3119 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3120 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3123 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3124 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3125 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3129 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3130 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3131 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3132 use the certificate.
3135 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3138 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3139 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3140 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3141 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3142 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3143 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3144 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3146 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3147 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3151 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3152 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3153 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3156 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3157 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3158 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3159 supported signature algorithms.
3162 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3165 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3166 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3167 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3168 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3169 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3170 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3171 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3174 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3175 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3176 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3177 to have similar checks in it.
3179 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3180 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3181 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3182 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3183 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3186 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3187 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3188 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3189 shared signature algorithms.
3192 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3193 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3197 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3198 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3199 it couldn't be removed.
3202 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3203 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3206 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3207 functions. Add manual page.
3208 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3210 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3211 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3215 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3216 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3218 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3219 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3220 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3221 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3225 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3226 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3229 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3230 platform support for Linux and Android.
3233 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3236 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3237 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3238 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3239 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3240 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3243 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3244 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3245 the new parameter format automatically.
3248 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3249 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3252 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3255 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3256 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3257 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3258 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3259 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3262 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3263 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3264 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3265 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3266 to set list of supported curves.
3269 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3270 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3271 to print out received values.
3274 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3275 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3276 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3279 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3280 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3283 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3284 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3287 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3291 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3293 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3294 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3295 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3297 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3299 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3300 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3302 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3304 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3305 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3306 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3307 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3311 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3312 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3313 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3314 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3315 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3316 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3320 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3321 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3322 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3323 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3327 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3330 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3331 reporting this issue.
3335 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3336 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3337 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3338 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3339 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3340 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3344 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3345 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3346 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3347 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3348 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3349 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3350 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3355 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3356 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3358 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3359 and can vary with the CTX.
3362 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3364 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3365 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3366 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3367 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3368 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3370 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3372 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3373 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3375 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3377 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3378 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3379 errors for some broken certificates.
3381 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3383 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3385 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3386 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3388 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3389 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3390 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3391 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3393 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3394 of the OpenSSL core team.
3399 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3400 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3401 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3402 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3403 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3404 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3405 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3406 the OpenSSL core team.
3410 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3411 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3412 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3413 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3414 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3416 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3417 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3418 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3421 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3422 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3423 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3424 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3425 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3427 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3428 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3429 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3432 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3434 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3436 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3437 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3438 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3439 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3440 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3441 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3442 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3444 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3448 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3450 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3451 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3452 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3453 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3454 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3459 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3461 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3462 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3463 configured to send them.
3465 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3467 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3468 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3469 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3471 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3473 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3475 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3476 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3477 DigestInfo structures.
3479 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3483 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3485 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3486 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3487 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3489 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3490 Group for discovering this issue.
3494 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3495 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3496 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3497 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3498 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3500 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3501 researching this issue.
3505 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3506 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3507 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3508 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3510 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3515 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3516 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3517 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3521 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3522 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3523 Denial of Service attack.
3524 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3528 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3529 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3530 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3531 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3536 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3537 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3538 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3540 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3545 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3546 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3547 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3548 Denial of Service attack.
3550 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3551 discovering and researching this issue.
3555 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3556 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3557 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3558 output to the attacker.
3560 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3562 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3564 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3565 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3566 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3569 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3571 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3572 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3573 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3575 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3576 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3577 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3579 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3580 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3583 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3585 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3587 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3588 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3589 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3590 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3592 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3593 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3595 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3596 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3598 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3599 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3600 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3602 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3604 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3606 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3607 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3608 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3610 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3611 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3613 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3615 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3616 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3619 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3620 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3621 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3622 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3624 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3625 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3626 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3627 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3629 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3630 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3631 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3633 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3635 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3636 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3637 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3638 is at least 512 bytes long.
3640 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3642 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3644 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3645 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3646 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3649 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3650 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3651 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3654 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3655 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3656 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3657 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3658 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3659 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3660 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3662 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3664 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3665 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3666 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3668 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3670 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3672 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3673 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3674 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3676 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3677 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3678 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3679 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3681 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3683 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3684 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3685 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3686 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3687 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3691 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3692 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3695 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3696 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3698 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3699 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3700 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3701 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3702 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3704 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3707 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3711 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3713 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3714 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3716 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3717 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3721 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3722 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3725 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3729 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3731 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3732 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3733 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3734 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3735 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3736 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3737 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3738 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3739 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3740 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3743 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3744 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3745 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3746 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3747 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3748 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3752 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3754 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3755 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3756 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3758 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3759 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3761 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3763 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3766 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3767 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3769 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3770 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3771 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3772 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3773 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3774 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3775 Most broken servers should now work.
3776 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3777 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3780 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3783 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3785 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3786 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3789 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3790 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3791 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3792 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3793 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3796 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3797 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3798 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3799 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3800 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3803 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3804 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3806 *) Add support for SCTP.
3807 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3809 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3810 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3812 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3814 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3815 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3816 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3817 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3818 - s390x: z196 support;
3819 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3823 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3824 (removal of unnecessary code)
3825 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3827 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3830 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3833 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3834 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3835 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3837 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3839 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3840 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3841 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3842 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3843 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3845 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3846 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3847 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3849 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3850 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3851 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3853 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3854 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3856 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3858 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3859 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3860 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3863 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3864 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3868 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3869 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3870 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3873 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3874 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3875 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3876 the appropriate parameters.
3879 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3880 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3881 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3882 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3883 against a number of sample certificates.
3886 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3887 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3889 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3890 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3892 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3893 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3897 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3901 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3902 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3903 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3904 password based CMS).
3907 *) Session-handling fixes:
3908 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3909 but also support Session Tickets.
3910 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3911 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3912 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3913 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3914 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3915 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3917 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3920 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3922 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3925 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3926 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3927 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3928 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3929 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3932 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3933 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3936 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3937 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3938 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3941 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3942 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3943 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3944 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3947 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3948 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3949 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3952 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3953 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3955 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3958 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3959 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3962 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3965 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3966 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3969 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3970 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3973 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3976 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3977 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3978 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3981 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3984 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3987 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3988 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3991 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3992 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3993 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3996 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3999 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4003 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4004 FIPS modules versions.
4007 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4008 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4009 until after the certificate request message is received.
4012 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4013 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4014 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4015 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4018 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4019 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4020 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4021 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4024 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4025 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4026 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4027 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4028 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4029 and version checking.
4032 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4033 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4034 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4035 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4038 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4039 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4040 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
4041 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
4044 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4047 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4048 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4049 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4051 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4052 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4053 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4056 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4057 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4059 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4060 a few changes are required:
4062 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4063 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4064 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4065 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4066 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4069 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4071 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4072 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4073 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4074 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4075 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4076 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4077 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4078 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4079 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4082 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4083 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4084 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4087 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4089 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4090 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4091 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4092 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4095 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4097 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4098 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4099 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4100 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4101 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4102 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4103 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4104 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4105 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4106 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4107 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4108 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4109 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4111 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4113 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4115 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4116 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4117 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4118 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4120 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4121 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4123 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4124 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4125 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4126 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4128 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4129 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4131 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4132 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4134 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4135 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4137 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4138 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4139 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4141 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4142 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4143 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4145 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4146 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4147 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4148 the last update always remained unused).
4149 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4151 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4152 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4154 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4156 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4157 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4158 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4160 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4161 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4162 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4164 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4167 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4168 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4169 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4172 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4173 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4175 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4177 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4179 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4181 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4182 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4184 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4185 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4189 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4191 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4192 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4193 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4196 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4197 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4198 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4201 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4203 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4204 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4205 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4208 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4212 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4214 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4216 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4218 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4220 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4221 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4222 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4225 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4228 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4229 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4230 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4232 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4233 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4234 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4237 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4238 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4241 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4242 some responders need this.
4245 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4247 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4249 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4250 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4251 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4254 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4257 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4258 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4259 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4260 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4261 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4262 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4263 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4264 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4267 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4268 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4269 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4270 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4272 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4273 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4275 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4279 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4280 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4281 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4282 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4283 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4284 attempting to work them out.
4287 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4288 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4289 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4290 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4293 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4294 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4295 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4296 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4297 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4300 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4301 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4308 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4310 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4314 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4315 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4317 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4318 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4320 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4321 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4322 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4323 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4324 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4327 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4328 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4329 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4332 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4333 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4336 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4337 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4339 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4340 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4343 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4346 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4347 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4348 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4352 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4353 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4354 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4355 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4356 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4357 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4360 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4361 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4363 This work was sponsored by Google.
4366 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4367 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4368 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4369 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4370 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4371 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4372 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4375 This work was sponsored by Google.
4378 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4380 This work was sponsored by Google.
4383 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4384 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4385 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4386 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4388 This work was sponsored by Google.
4391 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4392 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4393 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4394 CRL functionality in future.
4396 This work was sponsored by Google.
4399 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4401 This work was sponsored by Google.
4404 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4405 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4407 This work was sponsored by Google.
4410 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4411 and URI types are currently supported.
4413 This work was sponsored by Google.
4416 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4417 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4418 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4419 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4420 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4421 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4422 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4423 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4425 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4426 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4427 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4429 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4430 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4431 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4432 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4434 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4435 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4436 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4437 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4438 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4439 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4440 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4441 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4443 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4445 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4446 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4447 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4449 This work was sponsored by Google.
4452 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4455 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4456 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4457 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4460 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4461 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4464 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4465 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4468 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4469 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4470 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4471 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4472 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4473 content types and variants.
4476 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4479 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4480 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4481 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4482 files from the associated perl scripts.
4485 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4486 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4487 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4489 *) s390x assembler pack.
4492 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4496 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4497 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4498 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4499 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4500 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4501 to use. For example, specify an option
4503 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4505 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4506 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4507 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4508 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4509 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4510 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4512 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4513 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4514 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4515 return non-zero for success.
4517 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4520 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4521 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4525 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4528 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4529 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4530 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4531 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4532 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4533 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4534 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4535 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4536 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4538 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4539 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4540 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4541 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4542 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4543 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4545 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4546 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4547 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4548 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4549 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4550 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4554 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4557 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4559 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4560 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4561 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4564 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4565 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4568 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4569 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4570 with no application modification.
4572 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4573 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4575 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4576 or server extensions to be examined.
4578 This work was sponsored by Google.
4581 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4582 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4583 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4585 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4586 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4587 ciphersuite support.
4588 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4590 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4591 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4592 to output in BER and PEM format.
4595 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4596 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4597 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4598 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4599 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4602 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4603 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4604 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4608 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4609 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4610 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4611 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4612 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4613 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4614 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4615 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4618 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4619 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4620 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4621 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4623 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4624 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4625 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4629 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4630 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4631 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4632 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4633 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4634 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4635 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4636 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4637 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4639 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4640 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4641 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4642 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4643 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4644 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4645 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4646 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4647 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4648 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4649 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4652 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4653 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4654 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4656 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4657 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4661 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4662 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4663 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4666 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4667 it yet and it is largely untested.
4670 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4673 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4674 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4675 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4678 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4681 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4682 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4683 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4684 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4687 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4688 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4689 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4690 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4691 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4694 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4695 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4698 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4699 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4700 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4701 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4704 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4705 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4706 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4707 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4710 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4711 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4714 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4715 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4716 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4717 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4720 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4721 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4722 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4725 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4729 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4730 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4733 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4734 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4735 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4739 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4740 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4741 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4744 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4745 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4746 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4747 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4750 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4751 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4752 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4753 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4754 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4755 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4758 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4759 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4760 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4761 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4762 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4764 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4765 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4766 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4767 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4768 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4771 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4772 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4773 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4774 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4776 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4777 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4778 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4779 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4780 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4786 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4787 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4791 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4792 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4795 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4796 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4799 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4800 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4801 functional reference processing.
4804 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4805 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4809 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4810 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4811 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4814 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4815 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4816 application to support multiple signers.
4819 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4823 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4824 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4825 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4826 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4827 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4830 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4834 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4835 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4836 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4837 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4841 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4842 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4843 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4844 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4845 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4846 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4847 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4848 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4851 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4852 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4853 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4854 between digests and public key types.
4857 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4858 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4859 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4860 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4863 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4864 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4868 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4871 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4875 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4876 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4877 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4878 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4883 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4885 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4887 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4889 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4890 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4891 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4892 functionality for RSA.
4895 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4896 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4897 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4900 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4901 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4904 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4905 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4906 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4909 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4910 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4913 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4914 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4917 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4918 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4922 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4923 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4924 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4928 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4929 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4930 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4931 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4932 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4933 of public and private key structures.
4936 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4937 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4940 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4941 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4942 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4945 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4949 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4950 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4951 SSL_get_psk_identity
4952 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4954 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4956 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4957 and response verification functionality.
4958 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4960 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4961 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4962 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4963 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4964 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4965 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4966 server_name extension.
4968 New functions (subject to change):
4970 SSL_get_servername()
4971 SSL_get_servername_type()
4974 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4976 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4977 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4978 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4979 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4980 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4982 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4984 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4985 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4986 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4987 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4988 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4989 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4992 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4994 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4997 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4998 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4999 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
5000 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
5001 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
5004 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
5005 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
5009 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
5010 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
5011 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
5012 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
5015 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
5016 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
5017 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
5018 using the maximum available value.
5021 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
5022 in addition to the text details.
5025 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
5026 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
5027 handle several customised structures at all.
5030 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5031 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5032 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5035 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5038 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5039 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5040 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5043 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5044 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5045 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5048 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5049 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5053 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5056 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5059 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5061 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5062 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5063 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5064 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5065 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5066 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5067 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5068 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
5070 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5071 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5072 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
5074 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5076 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5077 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5079 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5080 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5083 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5084 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5085 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5088 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5089 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5090 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5091 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5092 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5093 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5096 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5097 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5098 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5101 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5102 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5103 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5104 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5105 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5106 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5110 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5111 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5114 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5115 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5116 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5119 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5122 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5123 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5124 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5125 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5126 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5127 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5128 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5129 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5130 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5133 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5134 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5135 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5138 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5139 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5142 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5143 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5144 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5145 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5146 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5147 know what you are doing.
5148 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5150 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5151 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5152 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5153 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5154 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5155 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5159 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5160 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5161 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5163 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5165 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5166 warnings in other configurations.
5169 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5170 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5171 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5173 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5175 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5176 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5177 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5179 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5180 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5181 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5182 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5185 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5189 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5190 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5192 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5194 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5195 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5196 other than a simple chain.
5197 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5199 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5200 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5201 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5202 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5205 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5206 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5207 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5208 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5209 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5210 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5211 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5212 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5213 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5215 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5216 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5217 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5218 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5219 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5220 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5222 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5224 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5225 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5228 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5229 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5232 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5234 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5236 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5237 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5238 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5239 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5240 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5244 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5246 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5247 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5248 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5249 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5251 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5252 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5253 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5254 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5256 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5257 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5258 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5261 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5262 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5266 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5267 to handle some structures.
5270 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5272 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5274 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5277 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5280 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5283 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5284 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5288 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5290 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5292 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5294 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5297 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5298 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5299 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5300 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5302 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5303 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5305 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5306 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5309 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5310 s_client and s_server.
5313 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5314 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5316 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5317 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5319 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5320 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5321 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5322 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5323 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5326 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5328 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5329 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5332 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5333 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5336 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5337 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5338 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5339 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5341 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5342 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5344 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5346 *) Various precautionary measures:
5348 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5350 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5351 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5352 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5354 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5355 outside the expected range.
5357 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5360 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5362 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5363 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5364 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5366 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5369 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5372 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5374 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5377 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5378 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5379 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5381 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5384 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5385 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5386 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5390 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5392 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5393 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5394 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5395 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5397 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5398 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5401 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5403 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5404 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5405 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5407 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5409 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5410 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5411 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5412 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5415 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5416 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5417 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5418 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5419 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5420 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5421 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5423 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5425 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5426 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5427 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5428 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5429 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5431 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5432 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5434 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5435 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5436 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5437 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5438 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5440 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5442 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5443 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5444 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5445 sets may exist with different names.
5448 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5449 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5450 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5451 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5452 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5453 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5454 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5455 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5456 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5458 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5460 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5461 implementation in the following ways:
5463 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5466 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5467 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5468 ignored for embedded content.
5470 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5471 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5474 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5475 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5476 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5477 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5479 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5480 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5483 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5484 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5487 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5488 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5489 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5490 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5491 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5492 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5496 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5497 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5498 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5502 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5503 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5504 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5505 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5506 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5507 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5508 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5509 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5511 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5512 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5513 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5514 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5515 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5516 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5517 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5519 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5520 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5521 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5522 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5523 to s_client and s_server.
5526 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5528 *) Fix various bugs:
5529 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5530 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5531 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5532 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5533 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5535 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5537 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5538 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5539 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5540 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5541 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5542 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5543 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5544 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5547 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5548 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5549 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5552 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5553 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5554 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5557 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5558 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5561 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5562 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5563 with no application modification.
5565 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5566 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5568 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5569 or server extensions to be examined.
5571 This work was sponsored by Google.
5574 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5575 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5576 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5577 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5578 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5579 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5580 server_name extension.
5582 New functions (subject to change):
5584 SSL_get_servername()
5585 SSL_get_servername_type()
5588 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):

5596 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5598 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5599 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5600 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5601 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5602 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5603 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5606 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5608 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5611 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5614 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5615 (which previously caused an internal error).
5618 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5621 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5622 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5624 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5625 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5626 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5628 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5629 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5630 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5631 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5633 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5634 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5635 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5636 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5638 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5639 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5640 information. For detailed background information, see
5641 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5642 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5643 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5644 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5645 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5646 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5647 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5648 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5649 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5650 remove a conditional branch.
5652 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5653 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5654 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5655 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5656 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5657 remains as a deprecated alias.
5659 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5660 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5661 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5662 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5664 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5665 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5666 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5667 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5668 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5669 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5670 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5671 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5673 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5675 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5676 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5677 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5678 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5679 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5680 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5681 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5682 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5683 in a different context.
5686 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5687 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5688 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5691 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5692 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5693 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5695 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5697 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5698 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5699 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5700 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5701 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5704 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5705 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5706 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5707 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5708 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5709 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5712 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5713 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5714 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5715 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5716 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5719 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5720 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5722 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5723 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5724 Improve header file function name parsing.
5727 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5728 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5731 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5733 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5734 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5735 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5737 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5738 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5740 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5741 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5743 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5744 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5745 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5747 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5748 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5749 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5750 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5751 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5752 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5753 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5754 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5755 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5757 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5758 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5759 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5760 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5761 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5763 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5764 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5765 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5766 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5767 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5768 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5769 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5770 multiple values to extend the available space.
5774 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5776 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5777 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5779 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5782 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5783 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5784 undesirable limitations.
5785 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5787 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5788 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5789 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5790 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5791 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5792 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5793 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5796 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5798 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5799 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5800 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5802 The latter two were purportedly from
5803 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5806 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5807 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5808 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5811 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5812 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5815 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5816 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5817 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5818 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5820 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5821 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5822 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5825 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5826 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5827 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5828 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5829 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5830 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5833 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5835 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5836 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5839 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5840 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5842 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5843 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5844 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5845 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5848 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5849 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5852 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5853 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5854 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5855 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5856 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5857 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5858 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5862 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5863 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5864 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5865 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5868 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5869 under VC++ build system.
5872 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5873 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5876 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5878 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5879 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5880 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5881 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5882 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5884 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5885 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5886 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5888 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5891 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5892 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5895 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5896 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5898 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5901 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5902 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5904 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5905 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5908 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5909 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5913 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5915 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5918 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5921 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5922 key into the same file any more.
5925 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5928 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5929 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5931 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5932 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5935 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5936 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5937 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5938 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5939 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5940 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5942 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5943 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5944 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5947 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5948 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5949 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5950 - add new function for parameter creation
5951 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5952 BN_BLINDING parameters
5953 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5954 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5955 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5959 *) Add support for DTLS.
5960 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5962 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5963 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5966 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5967 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5970 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5971 the apps/openssl applications.
5974 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5975 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5976 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5979 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5980 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5982 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5983 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5985 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5986 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5987 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5988 avoid this algorithm.)
5992 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5993 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5994 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5997 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5998 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
6001 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
6002 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
6003 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
6006 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
6008 The blank line is mandatory.
6012 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
6013 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
6017 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
6018 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
6020 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
6021 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
6022 to support policy checking and print out.
6025 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
6026 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
6027 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
6028 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
6030 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6033 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6034 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6036 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6037 implementation contributed by IBM.
6038 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6040 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6041 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6042 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6043 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6045 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6046 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6048 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6049 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6050 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6051 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6052 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6053 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6056 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6057 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6058 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6059 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6060 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6061 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6062 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6065 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6068 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6069 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6070 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6071 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6072 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6073 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6074 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6075 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6078 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6079 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6080 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6081 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6084 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6087 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6090 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6091 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6092 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6093 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6094 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6095 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6096 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6099 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6100 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6103 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6104 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6105 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6108 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6109 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6110 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6114 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6115 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6118 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6119 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6120 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6121 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6124 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6125 initialised value as BN_new().
6126 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6128 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6131 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6132 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6133 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6134 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6135 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6136 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6137 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6138 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6139 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6140 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6141 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6142 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6143 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6144 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6145 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6147 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6148 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6149 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6150 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6153 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6154 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6155 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6156 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6157 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6158 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6159 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6160 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6161 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6164 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6165 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6166 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6167 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6168 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6169 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6170 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6173 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6174 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6175 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6176 these have been updated also.
6179 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6180 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6181 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6182 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6183 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6187 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6188 structure of type "other".
6191 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6192 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6193 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6194 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6195 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6196 situation in the script.
6197 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6199 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6200 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6201 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6202 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6203 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6204 used as premaster secret.
6205 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6207 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6208 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6209 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6211 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6212 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6214 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6215 control of the error stack.
6218 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6221 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6222 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6223 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6224 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6227 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6228 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6229 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6232 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6233 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6234 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6238 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6239 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6240 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6241 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6244 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6245 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6246 the following flags are defined:
6248 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6249 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6250 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6253 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6254 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6255 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6256 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6260 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6261 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6262 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6263 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6264 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6267 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6268 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6269 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6272 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6273 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6274 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6275 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6276 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6277 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6280 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6284 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6287 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6290 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6293 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6294 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6295 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6296 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6297 default implementation more easily.
6300 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6304 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6305 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6308 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6309 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6310 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6311 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6313 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6314 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6315 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6316 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6319 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6320 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6324 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6325 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6326 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6327 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6328 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6329 scalar * generator).
6330 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6332 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6333 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6334 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6338 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6339 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6340 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6341 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6342 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6343 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6344 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6345 linker additions, eg;
6346 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6349 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6350 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6351 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6354 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6355 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6356 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6360 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6361 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6362 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6363 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6366 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6367 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6368 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6369 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6370 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6371 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6372 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6373 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6374 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6375 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6377 Example for using the new callback interface:
6379 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6383 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6385 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6386 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6387 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6388 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6389 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6390 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6395 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6396 available to TLS with the number defined in
6397 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6400 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6401 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6403 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6404 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6405 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6406 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6408 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6409 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6411 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6412 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6416 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6417 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6420 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6421 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6422 and a macro that behave like
6423 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6425 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6428 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6429 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6430 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6432 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6434 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6437 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6438 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6439 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6440 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6442 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6443 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6444 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6445 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6446 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6447 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6448 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6449 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6451 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6452 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6455 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6456 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6458 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6459 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6460 files while avoiding the low level API.
6462 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6463 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6464 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6465 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6467 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6468 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6469 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6470 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6471 instead of the low level API.
6474 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6475 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6476 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6477 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6478 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6481 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6482 down to the template encoder.
6485 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6486 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6489 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6490 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6491 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6492 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6494 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6495 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6497 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6498 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6500 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6501 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6504 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6505 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6506 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6509 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6510 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6512 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6513 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6515 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6516 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6519 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6523 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6524 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6525 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6526 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6527 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6528 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6530 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6531 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6534 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6535 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6536 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6537 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6538 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6539 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6540 various internal method names.)
6542 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6543 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6545 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6546 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6548 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6549 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6551 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6552 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6553 methods are undefined.
6555 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6556 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6558 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6559 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6560 length of the modulus.
6562 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6563 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6565 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6566 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6568 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6569 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6571 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6572 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6573 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6576 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6577 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6578 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6579 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6581 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6582 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6583 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6584 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6586 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6587 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6589 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6590 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6591 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6592 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6593 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6595 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6596 This applies to the following functions:
6601 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6602 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6604 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6605 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6609 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6614 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6616 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6617 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6618 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6619 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6620 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6622 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6623 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6625 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6626 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6627 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6629 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6630 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6632 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6633 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6634 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6635 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6636 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6638 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6640 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6641 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6642 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6643 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6644 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6645 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6646 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6647 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6648 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6649 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6650 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6651 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6653 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6656 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6657 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6658 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6659 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6661 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6662 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6663 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6664 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6669 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6670 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6671 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6672 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6673 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6675 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6676 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6677 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6678 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6679 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6680 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6681 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6682 adding different types of curves.
6683 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6685 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6686 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6687 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6690 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6691 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6693 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6694 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6695 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6696 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6698 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6700 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6701 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6703 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6704 library. Most notably,
6705 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6706 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6707 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6708 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6709 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6710 extracted before the specific public key;
6711 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6712 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6714 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6715 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6717 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6718 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6719 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6720 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6722 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6723 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6724 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6726 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6727 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6728 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6729 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6730 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6731 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6735 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6737 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6739 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6741 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6742 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6743 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6746 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6747 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6748 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6751 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6754 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6755 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6758 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6759 run algorithm test programs.
6762 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6765 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6766 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6767 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6768 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6769 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6772 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6773 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6776 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6778 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6779 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6780 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6782 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6783 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6785 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6786 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6788 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6789 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6790 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6792 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6793 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6794 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6795 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6796 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6797 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6798 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6801 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6803 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6804 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6806 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6807 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6808 undesirable limitations.
6809 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6811 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6813 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6814 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6815 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6817 The latter two were purportedly from
6818 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6821 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6822 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6823 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6826 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6827 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6830 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6832 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6833 module in FIPS mode.
6836 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6839 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6840 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6841 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6842 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6845 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6847 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6848 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6849 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6850 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6851 the difference induced by this change.
6854 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6856 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6857 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6858 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6859 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6860 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6862 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6863 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6864 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6866 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6867 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6870 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6871 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6872 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6873 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6877 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6878 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6879 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6880 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6881 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6883 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6884 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6885 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6886 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6887 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6888 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6890 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6892 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6893 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6894 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6895 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6896 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6899 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6903 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6904 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6905 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6908 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6909 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6910 structures constant.
6913 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6915 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6918 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6919 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6920 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6921 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6922 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6923 some needed definitions.
6926 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6929 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6930 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6931 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6932 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6935 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6937 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6938 server and client random values. Previously
6939 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6940 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6942 This change has negligible security impact because:
6944 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6947 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6950 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6951 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6954 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6957 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6959 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6962 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6963 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6964 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6966 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6969 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6970 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6973 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6974 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6975 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6977 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6980 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6981 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6982 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6986 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6987 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6988 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6989 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6991 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6992 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6993 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6994 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6998 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
7000 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
7001 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
7002 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
7003 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
7004 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
7007 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
7010 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
7011 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
7013 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
7014 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
7015 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
7016 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
7017 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
7018 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
7019 rather than being initialized to 1.
7022 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7024 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7025 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7026 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7028 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
7030 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7032 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7033 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7034 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7035 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7036 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7037 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7040 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7041 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7042 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7043 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7044 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7048 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7049 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7050 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7051 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7052 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7055 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7056 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7057 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7061 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7062 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7064 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7067 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7069 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7071 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7072 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7074 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7076 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7077 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7081 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7082 exiting on the first error in a request.
7085 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7086 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7090 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7091 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7092 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7093 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7095 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7096 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7099 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7100 blocks during encryption.
7103 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7104 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7105 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7106 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7110 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7111 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7112 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7113 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7114 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7118 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7120 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7121 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7122 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7123 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7126 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7127 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7128 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7129 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7130 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7132 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7133 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7134 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7135 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7136 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7137 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7138 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7139 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7140 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7143 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7144 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7145 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7146 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7149 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7150 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7153 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7155 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7156 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7157 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7158 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7159 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7161 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7162 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7163 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7165 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7166 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7167 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7168 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7169 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7171 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7172 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7173 used by default when no-err is given.
7176 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7177 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7179 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7180 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7181 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7182 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7183 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7185 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7186 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7187 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7188 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7190 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7192 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7194 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7196 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7197 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7198 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7199 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7203 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7204 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7206 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7207 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7210 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7211 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7212 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7213 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7216 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7217 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7218 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7219 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7220 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7221 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7222 followup to PR #377.
7225 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7226 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7229 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7230 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7231 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

7249 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7253 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7254 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7255 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7256 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7257 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7258 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7260 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7261 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7262 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7263 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7264 have to be made anyway).
7267 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7268 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7269 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7272 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7273 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7274 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7277 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7278 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

7317 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7318 representations in a platform independent manner.

7337 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7338 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7340 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7342 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7344 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7345 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7347 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7348 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7350 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7353 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7354 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7356 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7358 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7360 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7361 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7363 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7364 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7366 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7367 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7369 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7371 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7372 the 0.9.6 release series:
7374 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7375 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7377 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7379 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7382 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7383 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7385 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7386 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7388 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7389 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7390 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7391 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7393 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7394 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7395 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7397 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7398 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7399 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7400 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7402 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7403 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7404 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7407 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7408 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7409 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7410 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7411 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7412 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7413 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7414 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7417 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7418 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7419 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7422 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7423 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7424 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7425 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7426 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7428 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7429 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7431 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7432 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7435 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7436 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7437 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7438 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7439 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7440 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7443 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7444 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7445 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7448 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7449 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7452 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7453 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7454 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7455 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7456 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7457 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7458 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7461 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7462 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7463 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7464 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7465 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7466 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7469 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7470 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7471 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7472 declaration has been changed from
7475 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7476 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7477 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7478 has been changed into
7479 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7481 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7482 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7483 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7485 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7486 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7488 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7489 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7490 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7491 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7492 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7493 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7494 always load it have also been added.
7497 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7498 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7499 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7501 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7503 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7504 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7505 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7507 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7508 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7509 command line option can be used to specify an
7513 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7514 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7517 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7518 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7519 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7522 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7523 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7524 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7525 to work with the new engine framework.
7526 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7528 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7529 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7530 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7531 to work with the new engine framework.
7534 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7535 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7536 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7538 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7539 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7541 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7542 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7543 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7544 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7546 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7548 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7549 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7551 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7552 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7554 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7555 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7556 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7559 *) Add new functions
7561 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7562 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7563 These are similar to
7566 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7567 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7568 still in the error queue.
7569 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7571 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7573 default_algorithms = ALL
7574 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7577 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7580 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7583 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7584 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7585 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7586 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7588 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7589 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7591 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7592 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7594 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7595 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7598 *) New functions/macros
7600 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7601 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7602 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7603 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7605 to request calling a callback function
7607 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7608 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7610 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7611 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7612 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7613 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7614 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7615 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7616 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7617 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7618 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7619 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7621 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7622 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7625 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7626 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7627 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7628 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7629 the configuration scripts.
7631 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7632 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7633 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7635 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7636 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7638 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7639 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7640 when reusing an existing buffer.
7643 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7644 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7647 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7648 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7651 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7652 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7653 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7654 has the same effect.
7655 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7657 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7658 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7659 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7660 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7661 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7662 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7665 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7666 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7667 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7668 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7670 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7671 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7672 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7673 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7675 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7676 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7679 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7680 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7681 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7682 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7683 default), and then completely removed.
7686 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7687 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7688 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7689 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7690 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7691 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7692 particular extension is supported.
7695 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7696 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7699 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7700 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7701 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7702 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7703 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7704 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7705 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7706 requires the destination to be valid.
7708 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7709 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7712 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7713 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7714 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7717 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7718 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7720 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7721 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7722 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7723 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7724 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7725 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7726 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7727 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7728 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7729 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7730 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7731 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7732 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7733 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7734 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7735 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7736 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7737 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7738 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7742 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7745 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7746 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7747 become part of libeay.num as well.
7750 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7751 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7752 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7753 false once a handshake has been completed.
7754 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7755 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7756 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7757 client has followed the request.)
7760 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7761 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7762 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7763 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7765 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7766 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7767 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7770 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7773 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7774 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7775 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7778 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7779 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7782 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7783 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7784 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7785 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7788 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7789 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7790 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7791 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7792 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7793 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7796 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7797 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7798 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7799 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7800 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7801 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7802 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7803 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7806 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7807 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7810 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7813 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7814 md_data void pointer.
7817 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7818 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7819 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7820 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7821 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7822 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7825 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7826 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7827 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7828 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7829 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7830 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7831 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7832 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7833 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7834 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7835 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7836 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7837 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7838 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7839 rather than letting it slide.
7841 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7842 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7843 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7846 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7847 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7848 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7849 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7850 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7851 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7852 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7853 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7854 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7857 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7858 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7859 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7860 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7861 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7863 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7866 *) Add EVP test program.
7869 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7872 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7873 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7874 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7875 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7876 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7879 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7880 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7881 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7882 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7883 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7884 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7885 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7887 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7888 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7889 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7894 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7895 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7896 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7897 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7898 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7902 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7903 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7904 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7905 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7908 des_key_schedule ks;
7910 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7911 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7913 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7916 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7917 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7918 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7919 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7920 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7921 functions prevents this.
7924 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7927 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7928 correct _ecb suffix.
7931 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7932 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7933 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7934 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7935 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7938 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7941 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7942 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7943 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7944 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7946 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7947 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7949 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7950 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7951 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7952 via Richard Levitte]
7954 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7955 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7956 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7957 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7960 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7963 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

7978 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7979 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7981 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7982 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7983 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7984 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7985 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7986 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7989 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7990 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7993 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7994 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7995 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7996 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7998 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7999 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8000 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8001 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8002 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8003 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8007 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8008 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8009 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8010 and interrupts/cancellations.
8013 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8014 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8017 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8018 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8019 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
8021 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8022 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8026 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8027 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8028 than this minimum value is recommended.
8031 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8032 that are easily reachable.
8035 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8036 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8038 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8040 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8041 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8042 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8043 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8046 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8047 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8048 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8051 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8052 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8053 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8054 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8055 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8056 internally such as S/MIME.
8058 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8059 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8060 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8062 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8066 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8067 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8068 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8069 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8071 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8073 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8075 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8076 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8077 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8081 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8082 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8083 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8084 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8085 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8086 a window system and the like.
8089 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8090 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8093 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8094 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8095 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8096 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8097 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8098 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8099 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8100 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8101 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8105 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8106 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8110 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8111 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8112 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8113 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8114 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8115 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8116 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8117 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8120 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8121 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8122 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8123 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8124 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8125 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8126 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8127 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8128 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8129 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8130 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8131 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8132 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8133 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8134 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8135 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8136 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8139 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8140 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8141 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8142 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8143 internal engine_int.h header.
8146 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8147 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8148 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8149 modify their own ones).
8152 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8153 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8154 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8155 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8156 later on via ctrl() commands.
8157 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8158 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8159 structural references.
8160 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8161 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8162 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8163 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8164 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8165 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8166 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8167 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8168 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8169 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8170 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8171 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8174 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8175 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8176 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8177 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8178 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8179 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8180 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8181 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8184 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8185 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8188 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8189 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8192 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8193 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8194 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8195 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8196 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8197 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8198 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8201 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8202 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8203 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8204 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8205 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8207 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8208 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8212 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8214 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8215 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8216 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8218 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8219 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8221 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8222 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8223 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8225 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8226 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8228 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8229 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8231 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8233 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8234 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8235 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8238 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8239 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8242 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8243 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8244 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8245 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8246 is 40 of more characters long.
8249 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8250 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8254 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8255 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8258 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8259 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8263 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8265 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8266 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8269 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8271 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8272 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8273 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8275 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8276 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8278 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8281 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8285 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8286 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8287 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8288 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8290 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8292 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8293 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8295 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8296 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8297 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8298 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8299 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8300 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8302 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8303 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8305 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8306 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8308 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8309 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8311 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8312 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8313 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8314 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8316 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8317 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8319 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8320 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8322 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8323 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8324 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8325 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8326 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8329 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8330 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8331 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8332 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8335 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8336 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8337 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8341 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8342 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8343 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8344 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8345 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8346 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8347 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8348 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8352 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8353 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8356 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8357 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8358 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8359 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8362 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8363 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8364 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8365 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8366 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8367 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8368 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8369 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8370 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8371 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8374 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8375 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8376 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8377 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8378 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8379 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8380 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8381 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8383 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8384 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8385 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8386 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8389 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8390 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8391 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8392 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8394 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8395 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8396 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8397 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8398 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8402 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8403 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8404 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8405 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8409 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8410 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8411 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8414 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8415 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8416 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8417 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8418 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8421 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8424 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8425 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8426 option to ocsp utility.
8429 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8430 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8431 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8432 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8433 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8434 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8435 the request is nonce-less.
8438 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8439 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8440 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8443 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8444 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8445 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8448 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8449 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8450 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8451 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8452 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8455 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8456 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8460 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8461 additional certificates supplied.
8464 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8465 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8469 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8470 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8473 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8474 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8475 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8476 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8477 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8478 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8479 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8480 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8481 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8483 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8484 request to response.
8487 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8488 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8489 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8490 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8491 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8492 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8493 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8494 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8495 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8496 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8497 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8500 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8501 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8502 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8503 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8506 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8507 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8509 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8510 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8511 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8514 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8515 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8516 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8517 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8518 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8520 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8521 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8522 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8525 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8526 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8527 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8528 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8529 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8530 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8531 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8532 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8534 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8535 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8536 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8537 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8538 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8539 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8542 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8543 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8544 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8545 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8546 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8547 printout format cleaned up.
8550 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8551 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8552 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8553 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8554 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8555 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8556 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8557 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8560 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8561 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8562 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8563 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8564 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8565 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8566 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8567 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8570 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8571 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8572 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8573 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8575 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8577 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8578 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8579 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8580 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8583 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8584 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8585 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8586 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8588 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8590 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8591 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8592 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8593 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8595 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8596 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8598 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8599 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8600 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8603 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8604 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8605 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8608 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8609 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8610 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8611 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8612 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8613 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8614 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8615 functions are provided:
8617 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8618 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8619 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8620 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8622 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8623 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8624 extended allocation function is enabled.
8625 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8626 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8627 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8629 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8630 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8631 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8632 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8633 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8636 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8637 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8638 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8640 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8641 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8642 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8645 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8646 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8647 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8648 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8649 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8650 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8651 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8652 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8653 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8656 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8657 provide utility functions which an application needing
8658 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8659 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8660 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8662 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8663 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8664 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8665 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8666 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8667 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8668 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8669 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8670 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8672 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8673 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8674 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8675 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8678 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8679 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8680 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8681 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8682 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8683 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8684 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8685 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8686 will be added elsewhere.
8689 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8690 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8691 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8692 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8695 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8696 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8697 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8698 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8699 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8700 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8701 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8702 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8703 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8704 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8705 to produce the required SET OF.
8708 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8709 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8710 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8713 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8714 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8715 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8716 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8717 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8718 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8721 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8722 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8723 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8726 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8727 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8728 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8731 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8732 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8733 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8734 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8735 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8738 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8739 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8742 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8743 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8744 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8745 certificates and CRLs.
8748 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8749 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8750 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8753 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8754 entries for variables.
8757 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8758 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8759 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8760 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8763 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8764 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8765 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8766 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8767 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8768 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8771 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8772 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8774 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8775 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8776 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8779 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8783 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8784 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8785 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8786 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8787 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8788 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8791 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8794 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8795 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8796 for now but they will eventually go away.
8799 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8800 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8801 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8802 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8803 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8804 has also been converted to the new form.
8807 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8808 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8809 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8810 for negative moduli.
8813 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8814 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8817 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8821 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8822 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8823 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8824 type-specific callbacks.
8827 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8829 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8830 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8832 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8833 in sections depending on the subject.
8836 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8840 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8841 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8842 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8843 be handled deterministically).
8844 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8846 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8847 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8848 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8851 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8854 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8855 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8856 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8857 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8858 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8861 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8862 sign of the number in question.
8864 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8866 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8867 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8868 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8869 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8870 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8873 *) New function BN_swap.
8876 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8877 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8878 results on negative inputs.
8881 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8882 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8883 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8886 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8887 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8888 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8889 and add new functions:
8898 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8902 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8904 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8905 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8907 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8908 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8909 be reduced modulo m.
8910 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8913 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8914 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8915 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8917 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8918 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8919 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8920 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8921 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8922 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8927 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8928 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8929 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8930 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8931 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8933 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8934 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8935 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8939 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8942 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8943 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8946 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8947 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8948 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8949 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8953 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8956 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8959 *) Add the following functions:
8961 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8963 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8965 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8967 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8968 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8969 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8970 libraries unless it's really needed.
8972 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8973 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8974 declarations (they differed!).
8977 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8980 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8983 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8986 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8987 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8990 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8991 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8992 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8994 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8995 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8998 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9001 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9004 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9007 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9008 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9009 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9011 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9012 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9013 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9014 different shared library filenames on each system.
9017 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9020 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9021 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9022 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9024 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
9027 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9028 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9029 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9030 binary backward compatibility.
9031 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9032 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9033 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9037 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9038 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9039 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9040 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9044 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9047 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9048 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9049 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9050 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9054 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9057 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9059 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9060 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9061 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9063 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9065 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9067 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9068 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9071 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9073 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9075 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9076 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9078 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9079 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9083 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9084 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9088 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9089 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9090 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9091 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9093 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9094 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9097 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9099 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9100 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9101 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9102 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9105 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9106 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9107 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9108 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9109 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9111 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9112 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9113 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9114 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9115 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9116 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9117 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9118 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9119 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9122 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9124 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9125 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9126 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9127 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9128 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9130 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9131 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9132 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9134 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9136 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9137 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9138 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9139 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9140 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9141 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9144 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9145 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9146 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9147 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9148 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9151 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9152 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9153 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9155 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9156 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9157 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9161 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9162 being properly terminated.
9165 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9166 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9167 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9168 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9170 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9171 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9172 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9173 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9174 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9175 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9176 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9178 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9180 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9181 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9184 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9185 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9186 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9187 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9188 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9189 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9190 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9191 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9193 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9194 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9195 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9196 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9197 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9199 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9200 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9203 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9205 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9206 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9207 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9209 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9211 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9212 and get fix the header length calculation.
9213 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9214 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9217 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9218 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9219 assertions could call abort()).
9220 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9222 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9224 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9225 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9226 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9228 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9230 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9231 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9232 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9235 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9239 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9240 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9241 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9243 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9244 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9245 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9246 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9247 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9251 *) Changes in security patch:
9253 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9254 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9255 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9258 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9259 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9260 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9261 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9262 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9264 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9266 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9268 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9269 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9270 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9272 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9273 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9274 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9276 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9277 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9278 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9280 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9282 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9283 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9284 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9286 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9287 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9289 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9290 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9291 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9292 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9293 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9294 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9297 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9298 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9299 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9300 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9303 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9306 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9307 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9308 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9309 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9310 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9311 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9313 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9314 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9315 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9316 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9317 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9320 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9321 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9322 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9323 BN_generate_prime().)
9325 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9326 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9327 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9331 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9332 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9335 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9336 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9337 when using non-blocking I/O.
9338 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9340 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9341 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9343 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9344 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9347 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9348 configuration for the versions before that.
9349 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9351 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9352 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9353 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9354 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9357 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9358 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9359 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9362 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9366 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9367 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9368 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9370 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9371 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9373 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9374 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9375 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9376 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9377 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9378 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9379 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9382 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9383 using a local variable.
9384 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9386 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9387 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9388 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9390 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9393 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9394 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9396 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9397 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9398 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9400 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9402 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9403 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9404 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9405 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9408 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9412 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9413 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9414 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9415 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9416 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9418 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9419 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9420 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9422 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9423 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9424 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9426 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9427 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9428 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9429 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9431 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9432 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9433 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9435 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9437 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9438 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9440 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9442 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9443 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9444 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9445 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9447 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9448 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9449 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9450 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9452 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9453 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9455 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9456 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9457 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9460 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9461 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9462 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9464 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9466 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9467 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9468 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9469 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9470 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9471 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9472 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9475 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9476 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9477 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9478 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9480 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9481 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9482 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9483 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9484 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9485 the client will at least see that alert.
9488 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9492 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9493 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9494 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9496 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9497 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9498 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9499 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9502 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9503 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9504 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9506 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9507 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9508 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9509 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9510 may leak via logfiles.)
9512 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9513 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9514 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9515 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9519 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9520 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9523 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9524 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9525 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9526 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9527 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9530 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9531 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9533 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9534 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9535 followed by modular reduction.
9536 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9538 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9539 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9542 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9543 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9544 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9545 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9548 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9551 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9552 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9555 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9556 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9557 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9558 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9559 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9560 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9562 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9564 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9565 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9566 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9567 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9568 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9570 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9573 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9574 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9575 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9576 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9577 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9578 to allow the necessary settings.
9581 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9582 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9583 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9584 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9587 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9588 dh->length and always used
9590 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9592 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9593 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9594 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9595 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9596 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9601 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9603 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9609 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9610 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9611 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9612 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9614 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9615 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9616 always reject numbers >= n.
9619 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9620 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9621 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9622 variable) is not atomic.
9625 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9626 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9627 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9628 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9630 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9631 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9633 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9635 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9637 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9640 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9642 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9643 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9644 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9645 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9646 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9647 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9648 to traverse all of 'state'.
9650 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9651 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9652 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9654 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9655 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9657 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9658 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9659 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9660 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9661 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9662 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9663 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9664 further strengthens the PRNG.
9667 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9670 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9671 an error message in this case.
9674 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9677 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9678 positive and less than q.
9681 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9682 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9684 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9686 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9687 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9691 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9693 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9694 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9695 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9696 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9697 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9698 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9699 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9702 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9703 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9704 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9705 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9707 Both problems are now fixed.
9710 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9711 (previously it was 1024).
9714 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9715 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9718 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9721 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9722 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9723 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9726 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9727 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9728 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9729 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9730 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9731 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9732 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9733 environment variables.
9735 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9736 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9737 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9740 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9741 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9742 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9743 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9744 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9745 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9748 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9752 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9754 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9755 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9757 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9758 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9759 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9760 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9764 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9765 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9766 amount of data available.
9767 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9768 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9770 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9771 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9772 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9773 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9776 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9777 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9781 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9782 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9783 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9784 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9787 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9790 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9793 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9794 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9796 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9798 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9799 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9800 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9801 (but broken) behaviour.
9804 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9806 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9808 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9809 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9812 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9816 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9817 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9819 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9822 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9823 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9824 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9826 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9827 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9828 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9831 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9832 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9835 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9836 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9838 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9840 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9842 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9843 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9844 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9845 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9848 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9851 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9852 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9853 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9855 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9858 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9860 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9861 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9862 but the code is actually correct.
9865 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9866 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9867 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9868 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9869 and leaves the highest bit random.
9870 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9872 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9873 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9874 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9875 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9876 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9877 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9878 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9881 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9884 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9885 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9888 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9889 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9890 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9891 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9895 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9896 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9897 and break the signature.
9899 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9901 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9905 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9906 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9907 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9908 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9909 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9912 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9913 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9915 *) ./config script fixes.
9916 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9918 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9921 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9922 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9923 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9924 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9925 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9927 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9928 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9931 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9932 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9935 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9936 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9937 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9938 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9940 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9941 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9943 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9944 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9945 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9946 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9947 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9949 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9952 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9955 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9958 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9961 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9962 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9965 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9966 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9967 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9968 result of the server certificate verification.)
9971 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9972 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9973 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9977 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9978 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9979 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9980 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9981 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9982 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9983 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9984 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9987 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9988 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9989 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9990 happening the other way round.
9993 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9994 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9997 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9998 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9999 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10000 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10003 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10004 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
10006 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10008 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10009 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10010 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10013 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10015 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10017 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10021 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10023 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10024 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10025 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10026 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10027 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
10029 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10030 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10034 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10037 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10039 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10040 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10041 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10042 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10043 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10044 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10045 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10046 by the Finished messages.
10049 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10050 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
10052 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10053 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10054 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10055 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10056 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10060 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10061 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10062 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10063 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10064 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10065 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10066 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10067 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10068 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10072 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10073 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10074 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10075 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10077 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10078 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10079 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10080 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10081 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10084 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10085 been tested well enough.
10088 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10089 it can return incorrect results.
10090 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10091 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10094 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10095 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10096 include zero length content when signing messages.
10099 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10100 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10103 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10106 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10110 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10111 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10112 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10113 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10114 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10115 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10118 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10119 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10121 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10122 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10124 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10125 random number < q in the DSA library.
10128 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10129 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10130 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10131 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10132 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10133 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10134 just makes things more complicated.)
10137 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10141 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10142 work better on such systems.
10143 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10145 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10146 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10147 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10150 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10151 if there was more than one signature.
10152 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10154 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10155 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10156 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10157 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10160 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10161 rather than always using the current time.
10164 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10165 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10166 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10167 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10168 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10169 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10171 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10172 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10174 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10176 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10177 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10178 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10179 the same hash value.
10181 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10182 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10183 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10184 with X509_STORE internally.
10186 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10187 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10189 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10190 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10191 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10192 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10193 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10194 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10195 entirely (maybe later...).
10197 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10199 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10200 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10201 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10202 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10203 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10204 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10205 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10206 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10208 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10209 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10211 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10212 to customise the verify behaviour.
10215 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10216 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10219 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10220 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10221 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10222 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10223 request is improperly encoded.
10226 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10227 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10230 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10231 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10233 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10234 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10235 words set to zero.)
10238 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10239 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10240 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10243 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10244 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10245 BIO/fp routines also added.
10248 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10249 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10251 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10252 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10253 demos/state_machine.
10256 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10257 generation and verification.
10260 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10261 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10262 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10263 encode and decode it manually.
10266 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10267 compile under VC++.
10268 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10270 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10271 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10272 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10273 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10275 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10276 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10277 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10278 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10279 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10282 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10285 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10286 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10287 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10289 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10290 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10291 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10292 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10293 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10294 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10295 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10296 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10298 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10299 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10301 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10303 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10304 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10305 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10309 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10310 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10311 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10312 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10315 *) MD4 implemented.
10316 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10318 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10321 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10322 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10323 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10324 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10325 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10326 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10327 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10328 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10329 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10330 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10331 short or long names are found.
10334 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10335 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10337 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10338 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10339 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10340 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10342 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10343 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10344 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10345 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10348 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10349 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10350 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10353 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10354 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10355 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10356 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10357 to allow the various flags to be set.
10360 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10361 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10362 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10363 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10364 dates to be checked.
10367 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10368 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10369 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10372 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10373 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10374 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10377 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10378 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10381 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10382 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10383 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10384 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10385 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10386 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10389 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10390 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10394 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10398 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10399 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10400 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10401 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10402 form signing output easier to verify.
10405 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10408 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10409 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10410 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10411 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10412 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10413 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10414 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10415 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10416 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10417 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10420 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10422 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10423 the syntax given in objects.README.
10424 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10426 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10429 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10430 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10431 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10432 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10433 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10434 consistent name changes.
10437 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10440 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10441 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10442 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10443 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10446 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10447 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10448 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10452 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10453 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10454 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10455 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10458 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10459 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10460 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10461 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10462 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10463 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10464 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10465 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10466 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10467 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10468 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10471 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10472 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10473 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10474 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10475 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10476 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10477 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10478 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10479 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10480 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10483 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10484 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10485 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10486 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10488 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10489 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10490 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10491 omit any duplicate addresses.
10494 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10495 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10498 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10499 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10500 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10501 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10502 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10505 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10507 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10508 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10509 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10510 Free => OPENSSL_free
10513 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10514 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10517 *) CygWin32 support.
10518 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10520 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10521 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10522 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10523 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10524 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10528 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10529 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10530 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10531 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10532 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10533 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10534 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10537 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10538 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10539 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10540 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10541 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10542 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10543 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10544 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10545 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10546 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10547 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10550 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10551 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10552 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10553 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10554 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10556 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10557 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10558 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10559 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10560 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10562 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10565 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10566 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10567 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10568 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10570 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10572 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10575 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10576 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10577 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10580 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10581 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10582 any installed hardware versions can.
10585 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10586 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10587 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10591 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10592 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10593 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10594 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10595 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10597 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10598 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10601 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10602 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10605 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10606 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10607 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10611 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10614 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10615 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10616 but no ssl client purpose.
10617 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10619 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10620 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10621 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10622 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10623 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10624 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10625 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10626 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10627 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10628 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10629 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10632 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10633 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10634 be obtained from the error queue.
10637 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10638 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10639 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10640 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10643 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10646 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10647 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10648 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10649 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10650 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10653 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10654 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10655 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10656 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10657 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10660 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10661 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10662 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10664 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10666 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10667 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10668 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10669 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10670 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10671 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10672 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10673 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10674 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10675 or "the configuration storage API"...
10677 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10679 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10680 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10682 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10684 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10686 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10687 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10688 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10689 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10690 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10691 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10692 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10694 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10695 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10698 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10699 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10700 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10701 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10704 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10705 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10706 them in a portable way.
10707 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10709 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10711 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10713 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10714 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10716 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10717 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10718 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10719 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10721 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10722 was larger than the MD block size.
10723 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10725 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10726 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10727 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10728 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10732 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10733 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10734 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10736 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10738 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10740 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10741 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10742 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10743 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10744 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10745 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10747 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10748 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10750 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10751 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10754 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10757 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10758 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10760 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10761 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10762 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10763 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10766 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10767 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10768 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10769 does not suppress any output.
10772 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10773 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10774 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10775 with all the associated security issues.
10777 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10778 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10779 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10780 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10781 use the value in the default purpose.
10784 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10785 and fix a memory leak.
10788 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10789 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10790 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10791 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10794 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10795 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10796 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10797 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10800 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10801 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10802 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10805 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10806 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10809 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10810 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10814 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10815 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10818 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10819 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10820 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10823 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10824 number generation fails.
10827 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10830 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10831 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10833 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10836 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10837 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10839 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10840 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10842 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10844 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10845 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10848 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10849 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10851 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10852 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10855 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10856 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10857 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10858 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10859 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10860 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10862 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10863 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10864 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10868 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10869 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10870 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10871 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10872 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10873 counter, some don't.)
10874 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10875 counters or duplicate objects.
10878 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10879 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10882 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10883 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10884 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10886 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10887 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10888 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10892 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10893 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10896 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10897 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10898 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10902 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10903 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10904 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10907 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10908 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10909 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10910 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10911 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10912 should work without changes.
10915 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10916 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10917 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10918 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10919 must be defined. E.g.,
10920 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10921 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10922 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10923 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10925 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10929 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10930 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10931 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10934 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10935 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10936 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10937 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10940 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10941 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10942 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10943 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10944 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10945 is prompted for as usual.
10948 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10949 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10950 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10951 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10953 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10954 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10955 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10956 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10959 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10962 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10966 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10969 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10972 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10976 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10979 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10982 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10983 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10986 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10987 options to produce them.
10990 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10991 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10994 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10998 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10999 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11000 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11001 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11002 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11003 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11004 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11007 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11010 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11011 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11012 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11015 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11016 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
11018 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11019 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11022 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11023 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11024 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11028 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11029 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11031 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11032 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11033 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11034 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11035 generation becomes much faster.
11037 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11038 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11039 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11040 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11041 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11042 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11043 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11044 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11045 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11046 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11049 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11050 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11051 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11052 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11053 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11054 trial division stage.
11057 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11061 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11064 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11067 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11068 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11069 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11073 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11074 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11075 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11078 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11079 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11080 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11081 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11083 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11084 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11087 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11090 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11091 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11092 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11093 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11096 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11097 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11098 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11101 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11102 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11103 (instead of parameters) in future.
11106 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11107 when a new cipher list is set.
11110 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11111 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11114 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11115 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11116 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11118 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11119 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11120 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11121 an error is flagged.
11123 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11124 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11125 the readability was also increased :-)
11126 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11128 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11129 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11130 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11131 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11135 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11136 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11139 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11140 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11141 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11142 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11145 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11146 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11147 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11148 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11149 because they handle more complex structures.)
11152 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11153 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11154 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11155 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11157 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11158 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11159 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11160 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11161 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11162 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11163 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11166 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11167 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11168 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11169 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11170 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11173 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11176 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11177 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11178 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11179 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11180 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11183 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11187 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11188 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11189 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11190 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11193 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11196 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11197 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11198 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11199 international characters are used.
11201 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11202 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11203 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11207 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11208 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11209 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11212 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11213 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11214 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11215 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11216 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11217 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11219 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11220 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11221 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11222 be handled by the string table functions.
11224 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11225 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11226 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11227 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11228 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11232 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11233 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11234 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11235 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11236 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11238 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11239 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11240 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11241 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11244 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11245 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11246 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11247 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11248 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11252 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11253 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11254 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11255 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11256 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11257 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11258 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11259 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11261 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11262 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11263 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11266 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11267 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11268 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11269 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11270 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11271 support to pkcs8 application.
11274 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11275 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11276 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11277 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11278 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11279 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11282 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11283 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11284 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11285 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11286 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11290 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11291 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11292 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11293 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11297 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11298 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11299 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11300 and any application specific purposes.
11302 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11303 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11304 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11305 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11306 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11307 if the certificate is self signed.
11310 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11311 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11314 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11315 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11316 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11317 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11320 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11321 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11322 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11323 Update documentation.
11326 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11327 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11328 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11329 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11330 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11333 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11335 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11337 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11338 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11339 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11340 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11341 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11342 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11343 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11344 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11345 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11346 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11348 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11350 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11351 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11352 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11353 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11354 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11356 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11357 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11358 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11359 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11360 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11361 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11362 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11363 request additional information:
11364 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11365 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11367 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11368 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11369 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11372 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11373 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11375 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11376 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11379 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11380 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11382 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11383 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11384 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11388 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11389 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11390 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11392 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11393 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11394 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11395 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11396 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11397 included in OpenSSL.
11400 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11401 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11402 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11403 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11404 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11405 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11408 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11412 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11413 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11414 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11415 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11416 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11420 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11424 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11425 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11426 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11427 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11428 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11429 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11430 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11431 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11432 be maintained manually.
11434 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11435 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11436 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11437 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11438 work because people forget to call this function]
11439 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11440 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11441 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11444 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11445 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11446 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11447 should be discouraged from doing it.
11450 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11451 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11452 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11453 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11454 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11455 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11458 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11459 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11460 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11462 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11463 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11464 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11466 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11467 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11468 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11469 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11470 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11471 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11473 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11474 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11475 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11477 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11478 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11481 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11482 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11483 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11484 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11487 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11490 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11491 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11492 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11493 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11494 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11495 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11496 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11497 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11498 keys so we should be OK.
11500 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11501 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11502 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11503 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11504 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11505 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11506 stay in the name of compatibility.
11508 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11509 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11510 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11512 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11513 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11514 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11515 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11516 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11517 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11521 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11522 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11523 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11524 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11525 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11526 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11527 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11528 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11529 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11530 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11531 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11532 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11533 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11536 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11539 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11540 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11541 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11542 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11543 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11544 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11545 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11546 openssl verify ss.pem
11547 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11548 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11552 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11553 (and add it to external session representation).
11554 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11555 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11556 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11557 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11558 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11559 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11561 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11563 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11564 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11565 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11566 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11568 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11569 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11570 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11573 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11574 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11575 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11579 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11580 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11581 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11583 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11584 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11585 certificate auxiliary information.
11588 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11592 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11593 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11594 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11595 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11596 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11597 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11598 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11601 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11602 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11605 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11606 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11607 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11608 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11611 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11614 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11615 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11618 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11619 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11620 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11621 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11622 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11623 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11624 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11625 using the new 'x509' options.
11627 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11628 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11629 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11630 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11634 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11635 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11636 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11637 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11638 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11641 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11642 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11643 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11644 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11645 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11646 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11647 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11648 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11649 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11650 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11653 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11654 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11655 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11656 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11657 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11658 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11659 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11662 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11663 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11664 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11665 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11666 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11667 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11668 openssl.cnf for more info.
11671 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11672 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11673 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11674 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11675 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11676 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11677 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11678 md should be large enough anyway.
11681 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11682 for handling the random seed file.
11684 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11686 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11689 x509 (when signing).
11690 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11691 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11692 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11694 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11695 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11696 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11697 that support '-rand'.
11700 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11701 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11704 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11705 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11708 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11709 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11710 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11711 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11715 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11716 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11717 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11718 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11721 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11722 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11723 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11724 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11725 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11726 print out all the purposes.
11729 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11733 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11734 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11735 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11736 single function call.
11739 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11740 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11743 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11744 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11745 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11748 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11749 when producing the local key id.
11750 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11752 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11753 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11754 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11758 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11759 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11760 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11761 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11764 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11765 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11766 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11767 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11769 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11770 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11771 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11772 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11774 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11775 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11776 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11777 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11778 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11779 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11780 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11781 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11782 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11783 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11784 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11785 trivial: move one line.
11786 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11788 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11789 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11790 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11791 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11792 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11793 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11794 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11795 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11796 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11797 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11798 with an event loop for example.
11801 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11802 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11803 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11804 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11805 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11806 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11807 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11808 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11809 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11812 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11813 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11814 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11815 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11816 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11817 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11820 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11821 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11822 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11823 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11825 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11826 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11827 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11828 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11832 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11833 (still largely untested)
11836 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11837 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11840 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11841 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11844 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11845 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11846 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11849 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11850 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11851 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11852 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11853 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11856 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11859 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11860 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11861 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11862 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11863 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11867 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11868 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11871 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11874 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11875 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11876 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11877 are otherwise ignored at present.
11880 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11881 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11882 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11883 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11884 copied until the next read.
11887 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11888 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11889 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11892 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11893 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11894 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11895 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11896 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11897 associated functions.
11900 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11901 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11902 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11903 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11904 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11905 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11906 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11907 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11908 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11912 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11913 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11914 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11915 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11918 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11919 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11920 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11921 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11922 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11926 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11927 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11931 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11932 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11933 extensions to be obtained and added.
11936 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11937 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11940 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11942 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11943 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11945 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11946 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11948 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11952 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11953 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11954 DH parameters contain its length).
11956 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11957 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11958 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11959 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11960 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11961 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11962 utter importance to use
11963 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11965 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11966 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11967 attacks may become possible!
11970 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11973 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11974 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11977 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11978 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11979 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11983 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11984 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11985 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11986 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11987 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11988 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11989 private key operations.
11992 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11995 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11996 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11998 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11999 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12000 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12001 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12002 the password callback is called.
12003 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12005 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12007 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12008 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12009 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12010 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12011 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12012 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12015 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12016 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12017 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12018 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12019 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12020 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12023 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12026 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12027 delete an unused file.
12030 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12031 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12032 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12033 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12036 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12037 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12038 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12042 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12043 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12044 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12046 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12047 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12048 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12049 comparison" warnings.
12050 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12053 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12054 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12055 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12058 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12059 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12061 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12062 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12064 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12065 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12066 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12068 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12069 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12070 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12071 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12072 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12074 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12076 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12077 The interface is as follows:
12078 Applications can use
12079 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12080 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12081 "off" is now the default.
12082 The library internally uses
12083 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12084 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12085 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12087 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12088 even the default) are now avoided.
12090 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12091 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12092 than just having a counter.
12094 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12096 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12100 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12101 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12102 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12103 Initial "mode" flags are:
12105 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12106 a single record has been written.
12107 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12108 retries use the same buffer location.
12109 (But all of the contents must be
12113 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12116 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12117 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12119 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12120 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12121 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12124 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12125 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12127 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12129 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12130 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12131 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12132 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12134 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12135 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12137 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12138 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12139 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12140 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12141 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12142 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12145 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12146 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12147 necessary function names.
12150 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12151 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12152 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12153 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12156 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12157 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12158 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12161 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12162 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12163 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12164 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12166 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12170 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12171 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12172 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12175 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12176 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12180 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12181 for the encoded length.
12182 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12184 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12187 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12188 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12189 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12190 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12193 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12194 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12195 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12197 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12198 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12199 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12200 unusual formatting.
12203 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12204 to use the new extension code.
12207 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12208 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12209 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12213 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12214 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12215 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12219 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12222 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12223 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12224 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12227 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12228 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12229 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12230 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12233 *) DES library cleanups.
12236 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12237 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12238 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12239 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12240 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12244 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12245 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12248 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12249 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12250 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12251 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12252 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12253 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12254 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12255 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12256 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12259 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12260 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12261 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12262 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12263 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12264 value doesn't matter.
12267 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12271 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12272 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12273 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12274 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12276 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12279 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12280 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12281 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12283 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12284 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12286 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12289 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12292 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12295 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12299 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12301 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12303 *) Updated some demos.
12304 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12306 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12309 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12312 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12315 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12316 instead of using a fixed path.
12319 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12322 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12326 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12328 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12329 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12330 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12332 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12333 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12334 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12335 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12336 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12337 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12338 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12339 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12340 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12341 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12344 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12345 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12348 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12349 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12350 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12351 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12352 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12354 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12357 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12358 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12359 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12362 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12365 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12366 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12367 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12368 key elements as negative integers.
12371 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12372 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12375 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12377 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12378 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12379 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12382 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12383 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12384 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12385 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12386 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12389 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12392 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12393 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12394 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12395 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12397 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12398 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12399 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12401 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12402 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12403 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12404 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12405 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12406 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12407 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12408 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12409 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12411 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12412 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12413 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12414 does not influence s as it used to.
12416 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12417 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12418 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12419 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12420 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12421 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12424 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12425 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12426 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12430 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12431 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12432 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12436 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12437 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12438 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12442 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12443 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12446 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12447 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12449 *) Support Mingw32.
12452 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12453 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12455 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12456 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12458 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12461 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12464 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12465 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12467 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12468 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12469 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12473 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12474 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12475 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12476 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12477 now it really counts the depth.
12480 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12481 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12482 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12483 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12484 didn't match the private key).
12486 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12487 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12488 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12491 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12494 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12498 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12499 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12500 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12503 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12506 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12507 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12508 such as /usr/local/bin.
12511 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12512 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12514 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12517 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12518 extension adding in x509 utility.
12521 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12524 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12528 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12531 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12532 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12533 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12534 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12535 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12536 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12537 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12538 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12539 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12540 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12543 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12546 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12547 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12550 *) Fix some race conditions.
12553 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12554 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12557 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12560 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12561 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12562 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12563 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12565 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12566 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12568 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12569 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12570 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12572 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12573 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12575 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12578 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12579 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12581 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12584 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12585 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12587 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12588 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12591 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12592 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12595 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12596 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12599 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12600 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12603 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12604 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12607 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12608 support typesafe stack.
12611 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12612 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12614 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12615 old X509V3 handling code.
12618 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12621 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12624 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12627 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12628 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12630 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12631 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12632 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12633 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12634 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12637 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12638 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12639 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12640 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12641 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12643 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12644 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12645 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12646 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12648 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12649 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12650 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12651 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12653 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12654 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12655 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12656 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12657 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12658 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12661 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12662 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12665 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12666 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12669 *) Tweaks to Configure
12670 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12672 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12676 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12679 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12680 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12683 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12684 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12685 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12688 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12691 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12692 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12695 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12696 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12697 to library startup routines.
12700 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12701 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12702 codes along the way.
12705 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12706 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12707 objects to objects.h
12710 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12711 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12714 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12715 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12717 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12718 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12719 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12721 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12722 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12723 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12725 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12726 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12727 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12730 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12732 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12733 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12736 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12737 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12738 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12739 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12740 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12742 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12743 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12744 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12746 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12748 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12750 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12752 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12753 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12755 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12756 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12757 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12758 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12760 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12763 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12764 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12765 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12766 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12769 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12770 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12771 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12774 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12775 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12776 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12777 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12778 installed as `perl').
12779 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12781 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12782 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12784 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12785 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12786 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12787 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12788 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12791 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12794 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12795 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12796 is horrible: I feel ill....
12799 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12800 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12801 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12802 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12805 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12806 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12808 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12809 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12810 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12811 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12813 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12814 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12815 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12816 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12817 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12818 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12820 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12822 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12823 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12825 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12826 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12828 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12831 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12832 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12836 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12837 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12838 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12839 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12840 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12841 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12842 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12843 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12844 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12845 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12846 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12848 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12851 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12852 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12853 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12854 for linking it into DSOs.
12855 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12857 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12861 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12862 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12863 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12864 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12865 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12868 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12869 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12870 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12871 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12872 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12873 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12874 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12876 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12877 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12878 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12882 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12883 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12884 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12885 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12888 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12889 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12890 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12891 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12892 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12896 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12897 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12898 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12899 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12900 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12902 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12903 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12904 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12906 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12907 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12909 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12910 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12911 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12912 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12913 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12916 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12917 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12918 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12919 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12920 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12921 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12922 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12925 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12927 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12928 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12931 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12932 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12934 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12935 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12938 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12939 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12940 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12941 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12942 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12944 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12945 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12946 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12947 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12948 no way to reconfigure them.
12949 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12950 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12951 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12952 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12953 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12954 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12956 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12957 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12958 recognized by the users.
12959 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12961 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12962 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12963 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12964 already masked variable.
12965 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12967 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12968 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12970 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12971 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12972 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12973 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12975 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12976 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12977 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12979 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12980 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12981 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12982 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12983 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12984 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12985 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12986 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12988 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12990 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12991 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12992 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12994 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12995 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12999 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13000 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13002 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13003 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13004 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13005 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13008 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13011 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13012 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13014 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13017 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13018 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13021 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13022 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13025 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13026 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13027 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13028 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13029 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13030 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13031 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13034 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13035 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13037 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13038 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13039 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13040 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13041 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13043 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13044 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13045 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13048 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13049 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13053 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13054 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13055 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13057 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13058 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13059 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13060 build instructions.
13063 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13064 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13065 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13066 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13069 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13070 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13071 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13072 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13075 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13076 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13077 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13078 so it wasn't spotted.
13079 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13081 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13082 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13083 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13084 vectors if you have them.
13087 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13088 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13091 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13092 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13093 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13094 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13096 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13097 it will update them.
13100 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13101 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13102 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13103 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13104 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13105 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13106 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13107 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13109 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13110 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13111 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13112 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13113 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13114 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13115 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13116 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13117 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13118 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13120 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13121 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13122 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13123 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13124 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13127 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13131 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13132 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13134 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13135 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13137 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13138 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13141 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13142 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13144 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13145 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13147 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13150 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13154 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13155 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13156 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13157 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13159 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13162 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13165 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13168 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13169 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13172 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13173 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13177 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13178 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13181 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13182 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13183 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13186 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13187 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13188 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13189 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13190 properly to be processed.
13193 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13194 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13195 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13198 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13199 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13201 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13202 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13203 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13204 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13205 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13206 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13207 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13208 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13209 or delete all the .err files.
13212 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13213 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13214 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13215 to regenerate it if needed.
13216 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13217 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13219 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13220 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13222 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13223 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13224 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13225 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13226 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13229 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13230 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13232 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13233 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13235 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13236 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13237 error, but didn't set one).
13238 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13240 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13243 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13244 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13247 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13248 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13250 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13251 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13252 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13253 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13254 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13255 OID is not part of the table.
13258 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13259 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13262 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13265 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13266 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13270 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13271 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13273 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13275 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13277 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13278 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13280 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13281 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13283 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13284 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13286 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13287 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13290 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13291 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13294 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13295 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13297 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13298 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13300 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13301 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13303 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13304 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13306 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13307 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13308 unused in the certificate verification process.
13309 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13311 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13312 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13315 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13316 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13317 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13319 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13320 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13321 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13322 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13323 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13325 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13326 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13329 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13332 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13335 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13336 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13338 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13341 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13344 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13347 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13348 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13349 other error libraries.
13352 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13355 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13356 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13360 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13361 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13362 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13363 the new set of documentation files.
13364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13366 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13367 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13368 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13369 number of arguments.
13370 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13372 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13375 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13376 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13377 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13379 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13382 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13386 unixware-2.0-pentium
13390 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13391 before they are needed.
13394 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13398 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13400 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13401 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13402 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13404 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13407 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13408 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13409 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13411 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13412 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13413 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13415 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13416 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13417 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13419 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13420 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13422 *) Updated the README file.
13423 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13425 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13426 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13427 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13429 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13430 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13431 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13433 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13434 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13435 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13436 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13437 o removed obsolete TODO file
13438 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13439 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13441 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13442 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13443 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

13446 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13447 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13449 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13452 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13453 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13454 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13456 [The OpenSSL Project]
13459 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13461 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13464 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13467 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13468 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13471 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13472 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13476 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13478 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13480 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13483 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13486 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13489 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13492 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13495 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13498 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13501 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13504 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13507 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13510 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13513 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13516 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13519 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13522 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13525 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13528 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13531 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13532 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13533 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13536 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13537 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13540 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13543 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13546 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
13547 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13550 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
13553 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
13556 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
13557 bytes sent in the client random.
