5 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
7 OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
8 and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
10 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
11 -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
12 *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
13 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
15 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
16 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
17 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
19 +) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
20 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
21 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
22 false once a handshake has been completed.
23 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
24 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
25 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
26 client has followed the request.)
29 +) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
30 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
31 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
32 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
35 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
36 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
37 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
38 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
41 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
42 before just sending a HelloRequest.
43 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
45 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
46 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
47 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
48 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
49 may leak via logfiles.)
51 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
52 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
53 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
54 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
58 +) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
61 +) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
62 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
63 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
66 +) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7 and support including
67 shared libraries for OpenUNIX-8 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
70 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
71 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
72 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
73 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
74 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
77 +) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
78 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
79 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
80 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
83 +) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
84 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
85 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
86 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
87 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
88 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
91 +) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
92 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
93 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
94 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
95 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
96 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
97 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
98 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
102 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
104 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
105 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
108 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
109 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
110 followed by modular reduction.
111 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
113 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
114 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
117 +) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
120 +) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
121 md_data void pointer.
124 +) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
125 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
126 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
127 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
128 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
129 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
132 +) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
133 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
134 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
135 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
136 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
137 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
138 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
139 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
140 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
141 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
142 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
143 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
144 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
145 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
146 rather than letting it slide.
148 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
149 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
150 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
153 +) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
154 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
155 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
156 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
157 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
158 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
159 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
160 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
161 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
164 +) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
165 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
166 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
167 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
168 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
170 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
173 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
174 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
175 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
176 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
179 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
182 +) Add EVP test program.
185 +) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
188 +) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
189 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
190 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
191 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
192 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
195 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
196 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
199 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
200 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
201 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
202 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
203 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
204 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
206 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
208 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
209 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
210 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
211 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
212 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
214 +) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
215 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
216 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
217 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
218 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
219 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
220 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
222 +) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
223 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
224 the number of header dependencies.
227 +) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
228 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
229 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
230 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
234 +) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
237 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
238 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
239 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
240 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
241 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
242 to allow the necessary settings.
245 +) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
246 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
247 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
248 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
249 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
250 functions prevents this.
253 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
254 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
255 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
256 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
259 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
260 dh->length and always used
262 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
264 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
265 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
266 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
267 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
268 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
273 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
275 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
281 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
282 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
283 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
284 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
286 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
287 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
288 always reject numbers >= n.
291 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
292 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
293 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
294 variable) is not atomic.
297 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
298 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
299 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
300 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
302 +) Cleanup of EVP macros.
305 +) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
309 +) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
310 revocation information is handled using the text based index
311 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
312 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
313 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
316 +) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
319 +) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
320 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
321 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
322 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
324 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
325 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
327 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
328 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
329 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
332 +) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
333 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
334 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
335 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
338 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6b released [9 July 2001]
340 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
341 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
342 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
343 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
344 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
345 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
346 to traverse all of 'state'.
348 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
349 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
350 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
352 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
353 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
355 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
356 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
357 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
358 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
359 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
360 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
361 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
362 further strengthens the PRNG.
365 +) Speed up EVP routines.
368 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

383 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
386 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
387 an error message in this case.
390 +) Added the OS2-EMX target.
391 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
393 +) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
394 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
395 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
396 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
397 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
398 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
401 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
404 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
405 positive and less than q.
408 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
409 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
412 +) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
413 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
414 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
415 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
417 +) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
418 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
419 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
420 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
421 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
422 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
426 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
427 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
428 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
429 and interrupts/cancellations.
432 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
433 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
435 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
437 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
438 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
441 +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
442 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
446 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
448 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
449 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
450 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
451 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
452 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
453 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
454 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
457 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
458 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
459 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
460 detect the supposedly ignored error.
462 Both problems are now fixed.
465 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
466 (previously it was 1024).
469 +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
470 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
471 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
473 +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
474 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
478 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
479 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
482 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
485 +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
486 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
487 than this minimum value is recommended.
490 +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
491 that are easily reachable.
494 +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
495 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
497 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
499 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
500 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
501 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
502 needed for static libraries under Win32.
505 +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
506 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
507 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
510 +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
511 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
512 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
513 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
514 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
515 internally such as S/MIME.
517 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
518 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
519 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
521 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
525 +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
526 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
527 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
528 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
530 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
532 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
534 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
535 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
536 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
540 +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
541 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
542 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
543 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
544 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
545 a window system and the like.
548 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
549 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
550 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
553 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
554 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
555 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
556 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
557 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
558 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
559 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
560 environment variables.
562 +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
563 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
566 +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
567 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
568 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
569 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
570 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
571 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
572 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
573 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
574 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
578 +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
579 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
583 +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
584 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
585 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
586 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
587 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
588 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
589 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
590 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
593 +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
594 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
595 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
596 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
597 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
598 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
599 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
600 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
601 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
602 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
603 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
604 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
605 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
606 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
607 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
608 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
609 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
612 +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
613 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
614 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
615 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
616 internal engine_int.h header.
619 +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
620 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
621 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
622 modify their own ones).
625 +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
626 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
627 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
628 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
629 later on via ctrl() commands.
630 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
631 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
632 structural references.
633 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
634 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
635 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
636 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
637 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
638 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
639 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
640 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
641 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
642 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
643 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
644 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
647 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
648 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
649 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
652 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
653 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
654 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
655 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
656 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
657 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
660 +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
661 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
662 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
663 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
664 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
665 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
666 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
667 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
670 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
674 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
676 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
677 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
679 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
680 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
681 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
682 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
686 +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
687 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
690 -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
691 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
692 amount of data available.
693 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
694 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
696 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
697 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
698 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
699 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
702 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
703 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
707 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
708 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
709 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
710 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
713 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
716 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
719 -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
720 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
722 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
724 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
725 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
726 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
727 (but broken) behaviour.
730 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
732 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
734 +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
735 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
738 +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
739 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
740 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
741 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
742 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
743 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
744 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
747 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
748 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
751 +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
752 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
753 including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
754 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
755 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
759 +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
761 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
762 operations and provides various method functions that can also
763 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
765 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
766 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
768 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
769 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
770 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
772 +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
775 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
776 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
778 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
780 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
781 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
782 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
785 +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
786 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
789 +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
790 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
791 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
792 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
793 is 40 of more characters long.
796 +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
797 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
801 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
805 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
806 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
808 +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
809 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
812 +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
813 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
817 +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
819 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
820 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
823 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
825 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
826 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
827 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
829 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
830 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
832 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
835 +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
839 +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
840 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
841 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
842 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
844 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
846 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
847 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
849 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
852 +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
853 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
854 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
855 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
856 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
857 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
859 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
860 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
862 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
863 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
865 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
866 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
868 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
869 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
870 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
871 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
873 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
874 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
876 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
877 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
879 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
880 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
881 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
882 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
883 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
886 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
887 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
888 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
890 +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
891 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
892 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
893 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
896 +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
897 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
898 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
902 +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
903 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
904 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
905 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
906 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
907 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
908 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
909 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
913 +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
914 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
917 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
918 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
919 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
922 +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
923 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
924 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
925 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
928 +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
929 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
930 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
931 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
932 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
933 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
934 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
935 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
936 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
937 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
940 +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
941 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
942 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
943 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
944 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
945 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
946 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
947 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
949 +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
950 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
951 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
952 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
955 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
956 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
959 +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
960 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
961 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
962 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
964 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
965 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
966 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
967 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
968 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
972 +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
973 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
974 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
975 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
979 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
980 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
982 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
984 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
986 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
987 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
988 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
989 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
992 +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
993 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
994 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
997 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
1000 +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1001 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1002 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1003 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1004 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1007 +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1010 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
1011 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
1012 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1014 +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1015 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1016 option to ocsp utility.
1019 +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1020 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1021 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1022 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1023 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1024 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1025 the request is nonce-less.
1028 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
1031 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1033 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
1034 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
1035 but the code is actually correct.
1038 +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1039 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1040 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1043 +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1044 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1045 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1048 +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1049 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1050 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1051 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1052 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1055 +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1056 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1060 +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1061 additional certificates supplied.
1064 +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1065 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1069 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
1070 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
1071 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
1072 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
1073 and leaves the highest bit random.
1074 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
1076 +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1077 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1078 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
1079 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
1080 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1082 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
1083 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
1084 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
1085 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
1086 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
1087 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
1088 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
1091 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
1094 +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1095 request to response.
1098 +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1099 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1100 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1101 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1102 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1103 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1104 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1105 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1106 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1107 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1108 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1111 +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1112 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1113 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1114 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1117 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
1118 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
1121 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
1122 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
1123 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
1124 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
1128 +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1129 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1131 +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1132 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1133 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1136 -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
1137 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
1138 and break the signature.
1140 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1142 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
1146 +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1147 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1148 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1149 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1150 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1152 +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1153 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1154 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1157 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
1158 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
1159 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
1160 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
1161 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
1164 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
1165 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1167 *) ./config script fixes.
1168 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
1170 +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1171 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1172 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1173 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1174 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1175 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1176 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette

1179 +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1180 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1181 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1182 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1183 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1184 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1187 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
1190 +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1191 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1192 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1193 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1194 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1195 printout format cleaned up.
1198 +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1199 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1200 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1201 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1202 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1203 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1204 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1205 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1208 +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1209 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1210 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1211 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1212 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1213 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1214 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1215 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1218 +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1219 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1220 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1221 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1223 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1225 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
1226 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
1227 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
1228 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
1229 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
1231 +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1232 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1233 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1234 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1237 +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1238 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1239 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1240 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1242 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1244 +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1245 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1246 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1247 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1249 +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1250 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1252 +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1253 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1254 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1257 +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1258 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1259 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1262 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
1263 call failed, free the DSA structure.
1266 +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1267 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1268 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1269 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1270 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1271 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1272 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1273 functions are provided:
1275 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1276 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1277 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1278 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1280 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1281 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1282 extended allocation function is enabled.
1283 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1284 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1285 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1287 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
1288 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
1291 +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1292 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1293 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1294 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1295 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1298 +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1299 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1300 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1302 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1303 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1304 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1307 +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1308 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1309 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1310 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1311 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1312 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1313 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1314 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1315 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1318 +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1319 provide utility functions which an application needing
1320 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1321 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1322 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1324 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1325 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1326 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1327 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1328 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1329 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1330 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1331 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1332 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1334 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1335 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1336 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1337 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1340 +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1341 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1342 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1343 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1344 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1345 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1346 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1347 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1348 will be added elsewhere.
1351 +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1352 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1353 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1354 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1357 +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1358 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1359 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1360 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1361 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1362 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1363 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1364 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1365 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1366 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1367 to produce the required SET OF.
1370 +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1371 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1372 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1375 +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1376 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1377 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1378 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1379 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1380 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1383 +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1384 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1385 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1388 +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1389 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1390 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1393 +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1394 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1395 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1396 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1397 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1400 +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1401 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1404 +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1405 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1406 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1407 certifcates and CRLs.
1410 +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1411 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1412 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1415 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
1416 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
1417 when writing a 32767 byte record.
1418 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
1420 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
1421 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
1423 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
1424 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
1425 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
1426 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
1427 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
1429 +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1430 entries for variables.
1433 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
1436 +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1437 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1438 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1439 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1442 +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1443 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1444 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1445 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1446 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1447 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1450 +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1451 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1453 +) Move common extension printing code to new function
1454 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1455 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1458 +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1462 +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1463 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1464 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1465 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1466 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1467 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1470 +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1473 +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1474 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1475 for now but they will eventually go away.
1478 +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1479 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1480 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1481 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1482 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1483 has also been converted to the new form.
1486 +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1487 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1488 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1489 for negative moduli.
1492 +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1493 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1496 +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1500 +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1501 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1502 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1503 type-specific callbacks.
1506 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
1509 +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1511 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1512 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1514 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
1517 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
1520 +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1521 in sections depending on the subject.
1524 +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1528 +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1529 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1530 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1531 be handled deterministically).
1532 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1534 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
1535 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
1538 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
1539 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
1540 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
1541 result of the server certificate verification.)
1544 +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1545 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1546 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1549 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
1550 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
1551 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
1555 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
1556 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
1557 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
1558 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
1559 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
1560 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
1561 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
1562 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
1565 +) New function BN_kronecker.
1568 +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1569 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1570 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1571 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1572 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1575 +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1576 sign of the number in question.
1578 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1580 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1581 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1582 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1583 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1584 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1587 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
1588 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
1589 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
1590 happening the other way round.
1593 +) New function BN_swap.
1596 +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1597 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1598 results on negative inputs.
1601 +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1602 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1603 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1606 +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1607 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1608 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1609 and add new functions:
1618 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1622 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1624 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1625 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1627 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1628 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1629 be reduced modulo m.
1630 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1632 +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1633 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1634 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1635 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1636 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1637 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1641 +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1642 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1643 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1644 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1645 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1647 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1648 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1649 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1653 +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1656 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
1657 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
1660 +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1661 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1664 +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1665 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1666 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1667 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1671 +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1674 +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1677 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
1678 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
1679 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
1680 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
1683 +) Add the following functions:
1685 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1687 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1689 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1691 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1692 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1693 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1694 libraries unless it's really needed.
1696 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1697 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1698 declarations (they differed!).
1701 +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1704 +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1707 +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1710 +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1711 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1714 +) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1715 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1717 +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1718 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1719 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1721 +) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1723 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
1725 +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1726 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1729 +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1732 +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1735 +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1738 +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1739 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1740 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1742 +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1743 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1744 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1745 different shared library filenames on each system.
1748 +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1751 +) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
1754 +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1755 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1756 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1758 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1761 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1762 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1763 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1764 binary backward compatibility.
1765 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1766 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1767 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1771 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
1772 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
1774 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
1776 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
1777 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
1778 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
1781 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
1783 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
1785 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
1789 +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1790 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1791 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1792 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1796 +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1799 +) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1800 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1801 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1802 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1806 +) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1809 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
1811 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
1812 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
1813 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
1814 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
1815 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
1817 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
1818 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
1822 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
1825 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
1827 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
1828 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
1829 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
1830 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
1831 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
1832 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
1833 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
1834 by the Finished messages.
1837 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
1838 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
1840 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
1841 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
1842 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
1843 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
1844 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
1848 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
1849 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
1850 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
1851 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
1852 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
1853 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
1854 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
1855 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
1856 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
1860 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
1861 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
1862 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
1863 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
1865 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
1866 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
1867 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
1868 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
1869 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
1872 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
1873 been tested well enough.
1876 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
1877 it can return incorrect results.
1878 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
1879 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
1882 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
1883 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
1884 include zero length content when signing messages.
1887 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
1888 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
1891 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
1894 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
1898 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
1899 packages. The default package contains applications, application
1900 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
1901 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
1902 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
1903 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
1906 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
1907 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1909 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
1910 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
1912 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
1913 random number < q in the DSA library.
1916 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
1917 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
1918 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
1919 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
1920 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
1921 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
1922 just makes things more complicated.)
1925 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
1929 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
1930 work better on such systems.
1931 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1933 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
1934 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
1935 keyid to the certificates aux info.
1938 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
1939 if there was more than one signature.
1940 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
1942 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
1943 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
1944 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
1945 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
1948 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
1949 rather than always using the current time.
1952 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
1953 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
1954 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
1955 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
1956 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
1957 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
1959 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
1960 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
1962 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
1964 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
1965 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
1966 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
1967 the same hash value.
1969 As a result various functions (which were all internal
1970 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
1971 structure. This will break anything that messed round
1972 with X509_STORE internally.
1974 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
1975 exact match, rather than just subject name.
1977 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
1978 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
1979 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
1980 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
1981 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
1982 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
1983 entirely (maybe later...).
1985 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
1987 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
1988 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
1989 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
1990 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
1991 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
1992 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
1993 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
1994 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
1996 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
1997 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1999 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2000 to customise the verify behaviour.
2003 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2004 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2007 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2008 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2009 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2010 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2011 request is improperly encoded.
2014 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2015 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2018 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2019 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2021 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2022 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2026 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2027 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2028 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2031 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2032 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2033 BIO/fp routines also added.
2036 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2037 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2039 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2040 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2041 demos/state_machine.
2044 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2045 generation and verification.
2048 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2049 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2050 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2051 encode and decode it manually.
2054 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2056 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2058 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2059 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2060 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2061 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2063 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2064 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2065 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2066 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2067 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2070 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2073 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2074 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2075 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2077 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2078 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2079 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2080 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2081 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2082 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2083 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2084 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2086 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2087 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2089 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2091 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2092 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2093 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2097 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2098 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2099 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2100 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2104 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2106 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2109 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2110 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2111 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2112 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2113 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2114 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2115 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2116 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2117 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2118 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2119 short or long names are found.
2122 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2123 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2125 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2126 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2127 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2128 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2130 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2131 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2132 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2133 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2136 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2137 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2138 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2141 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2142 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2143 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2144 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2145 to allow the various flags to be set.
2148 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2149 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2150 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2151 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2152 dates to be checked.
2155 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
2156 negative public key encodings) on by default,
2157 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
2160 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
2161 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
2162 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
2165 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2166 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2169 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2170 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2171 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2172 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2173 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2174 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2177 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2178 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2182 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2186 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2187 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2188 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2189 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2190 form signing output easier to verify.
2193 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2196 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2197 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2198 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2199 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2200 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2201 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2202 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2203 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2204 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2205 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2208 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2210 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2211 the syntax given in objects.README.
2212 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2214 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2217 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2218 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2219 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2220 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2221 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2222 consistent name changes.
2225 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2228 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2229 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2230 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2231 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2234 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2235 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2236 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2240 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2241 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2242 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2243 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2246 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2247 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2248 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2249 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2250 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2251 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2252 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2253 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2254 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2255 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2256 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2259 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2260 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2261 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2262 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2263 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2264 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2265 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2266 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2267 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2268 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2271 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2272 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2273 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2274 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2276 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2277 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
2278 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
2279 omit any duplicate addresses.
2282 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2283 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2286 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2287 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2288 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2289 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2290 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2293 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2295 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2296 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2297 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2298 Free => OPENSSL_free
2301 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2302 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2305 *) CygWin32 support.
2306 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2308 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2309 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2310 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2311 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2312 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2316 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2317 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2318 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2319 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2320 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2321 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2322 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2325 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2326 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2327 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2328 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2329 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2330 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2331 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2332 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2333 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2334 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2335 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2338 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2339 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2340 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2341 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2342 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2344 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2345 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2346 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2347 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2348 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2350 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2353 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2354 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2355 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2356 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2358 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2360 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2363 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2364 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2365 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2368 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2369 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2370 any installed hardware versions can.
2373 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2374 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2375 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2379 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2380 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2381 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2382 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2383 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2385 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2386 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2389 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2390 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2393 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2394 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2395 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2399 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2402 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2403 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2404 but no ssl client purpose.
2405 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2407 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2408 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2409 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2410 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2411 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2412 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2413 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2414 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2415 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2416 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2417 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2420 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2421 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2422 be obtained from the error queue.
2425 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2426 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2427 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2428 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2431 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2434 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2435 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2436 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2437 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2438 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
2441 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
2442 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
2443 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
2444 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
2445 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
2448 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
2449 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
2450 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
2452 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
2454 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
2455 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
2456 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
2457 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
2458 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
2459 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
2460 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
2461 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
2462 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
2463 or "the configuration storage API"...
2465 The new configuration file reading functions are:
2467 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
2468 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
2470 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
2472 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
2474 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
2475 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
2476 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
2477 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
2478 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
2479 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
2480 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
2482 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
2483 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
2486 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
2487 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
2488 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
2489 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
2492 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
2493 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
2494 them in a portable way.
2495 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
2497 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
2499 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
2501 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
2502 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
2504 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
2505 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
2506 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
2509 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
2510 was larger than the MD block size.
2511 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
2513 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
2514 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
2515 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
2516 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
2520 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
2521 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
2522 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
2524 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
2526 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
2528 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
2529 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
2530 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
2531 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
2532 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
2533 Additional arguments are always ignored.
2535 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
2536 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
2538 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
2539 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
2542 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
2545 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
2546 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
2548 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
2549 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
2550 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
2551 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
2554 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
2555 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
2556 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
2557 does not suppress any output.
2560 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
2561 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
2562 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
2563 with all the associated security issues.
2565 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
2566 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
2567 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
2568 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
2569 use the value in the default purpose.
2572 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
2573 and fix a memory leak.
2576 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
2577 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
2578 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
2579 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
2582 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
2583 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
2584 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
2585 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
2588 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
2589 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
2590 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
2593 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
2594 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
2597 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
2598 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
2602 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
2603 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
2606 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
2607 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
2608 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
2611 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
2612 number generation fails.
2615 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
2618 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
2619 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
2621 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
2624 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
2625 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
2627 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
2628 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
2630 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
2632 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
2633 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
2636 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
2637 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
2639 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
2640 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
2643 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
2644 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
2645 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
2646 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
2647 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
2648 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
2650 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
2651 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
2652 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
2656 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
2657 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
2658 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
2659 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
2660 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
2661 counter, some don't.)
2662 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
2663 counters or duplicate objects.
2666 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
2667 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
2670 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
2671 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
2672 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
2674 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
2675 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
2676 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
2680 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
2681 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
2684 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
2685 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
2686 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
2690 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
2691 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
2692 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
2695 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
2696 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
2697 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
2698 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
2699 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
2700 should work without changes.
2703 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
2704 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
2705 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
2706 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
2707 must be defined. E.g.,
2708 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
2709 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
2710 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
2711 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
2713 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
2717 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
2718 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
2719 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
2722 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
2723 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
2724 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
2725 request header lines. Some software needs this.
2728 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
2729 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
2730 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
2731 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
2732 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
2733 is prompted for as usual.
2736 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
2737 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
2738 autodetect the card and use it if present.
2739 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
2741 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
2742 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
2743 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
2744 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
2747 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
2750 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
2754 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
2757 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
2760 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
2764 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
2767 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
2770 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
2771 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
2774 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
2775 options to produce them.
2778 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
2779 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
2782 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
2786 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
2787 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
2788 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
2789 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
2790 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
2791 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
2792 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
2795 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
2798 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
2799 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
2800 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
2803 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
2804 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
2806 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
2807 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
2810 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
2811 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
2812 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
2816 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
2817 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
2819 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
2820 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
2821 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
2822 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
2823 generation becomes much faster.
2825 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
2826 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
2827 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
2828 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
2829 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
2830 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
2831 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
2832 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
2833 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
2834 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
2837 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
2838 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
2839 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
2840 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
2841 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
2842 trial division stage.
2845 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
2849 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
2852 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
2855 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
2856 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
2857 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
2861 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
2862 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
2863 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
2866 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
2867 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
2868 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
2869 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2871 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
2872 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
2875 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
2878 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
2879 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
2880 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
2881 Rabin-Miller iterations.
2884 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
2885 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
2886 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
2889 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
2890 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
2891 (instead of parameters) in future.
2894 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
2895 when a new cipher list is set.
2898 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
2899 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
2902 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
2903 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
2904 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
2906 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
2907 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
2908 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
2909 an error is flagged.
2911 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
2912 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
2913 the readability was also increased :-)
2914 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2916 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
2917 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
2918 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
2919 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
2923 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
2924 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
2927 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
2928 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
2929 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
2930 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
2933 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
2934 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
2935 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
2936 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
2937 because they handle more complex structures.)
2940 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
2941 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
2942 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
2943 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2945 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
2946 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
2947 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
2948 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
2949 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
2950 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
2951 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
2954 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
2955 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
2956 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
2957 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
2958 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
2961 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
2964 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
2965 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
2966 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
2967 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
2968 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
2971 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
2975 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
2976 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
2977 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
2978 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
2981 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
2984 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
2985 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
2986 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
2987 international characters are used.
2989 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
2990 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
2991 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
2995 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
2996 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
2997 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3000 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3001 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3002 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3003 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3004 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3005 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3007 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3008 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3009 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3010 be handled by the string table functions.
3012 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3013 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3014 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3015 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3016 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3020 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3021 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3022 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3023 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3024 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3026 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3027 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3028 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3029 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3032 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3033 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3034 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3035 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3036 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3040 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3041 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3042 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3043 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3044 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3045 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3046 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3047 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3049 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3050 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3051 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3054 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3055 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3056 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3057 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3058 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3059 support to pkcs8 application.
3062 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3063 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3064 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3065 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3066 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3067 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3070 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3071 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3072 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3073 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3074 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3078 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3079 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3080 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3081 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3085 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3086 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3087 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3088 and any application specific purposes.
3090 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3091 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3092 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3093 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3094 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3095 if the certificate is self signed.
3098 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
3099 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
3102 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
3103 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
3104 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
3105 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
3108 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
3109 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
3110 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
3111 Update documentation.
3114 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
3115 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
3116 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
3117 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
3118 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
3121 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
3123 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
3125 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
3126 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
3127 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
3128 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
3129 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
3130 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
3131 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
3132 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
3133 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
3134 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
3136 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
3138 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3139 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3140 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
3141 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
3142 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
3144 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
3145 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
3146 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
3147 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
3148 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
3149 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
3150 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
3151 request additional information:
3152 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
3153 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
3155 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
3156 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
3157 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
3160 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
3161 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
3164 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
3167 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
3168 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3170 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
3171 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
3172 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
3176 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
3177 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
3178 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
3180 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
3181 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
3182 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
3183 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
3184 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
3185 included in OpenSSL.
3188 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
3189 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
3190 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
3191 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
3192 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
3193 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
3196 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
3200 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
3201 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
3202 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
3203 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
3204 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
3208 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
3212 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
3213 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
3214 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
3215 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
3216 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
3217 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
3218 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
3219 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
3220 be maintained manually.
3222 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
3223 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
3224 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
3225 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
3226 work because people forget to call this function]
3227 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
3228 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
3229 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
3232 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
3233 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
3234 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
3235 should be discouraged from doing it.
3238 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
3239 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
3240 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
3241 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
3242 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
3243 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
3246 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
3247 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
3248 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
3250 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
3251 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
3252 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
3254 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
3255 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
3256 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
3257 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
3258 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
3259 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
3261 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
3262 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
3263 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
3265 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
3266 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
3269 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
3270 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
3271 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
3272 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
3275 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
3278 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
3279 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
3280 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
3281 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
3282 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
3283 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
3284 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
3285 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
3286 keys so we should be OK.
3288 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
3289 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
3290 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
3291 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
3292 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
3293 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
3294 stay in the name of compatibility.
3296 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
3297 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
3298 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
3300 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
3301 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
3302 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
3303 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
3304 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
3305 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
3309 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
3310 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
3311 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
3312 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
3313 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
3314 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
3315 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
3316 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
3317 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
3318 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
3319 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
3320 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
3321 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
3324 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
3327 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
3328 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
3329 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
3330 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
3331 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
3332 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
3333 single self signed certificate. This means that:
3334 openssl verify ss.pem
3335 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
3336 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
3340 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
3341 (and add it to external session representation).
3342 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
3343 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
3344 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
3345 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
3346 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
3347 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
3349 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
3351 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
3352 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
3353 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
3354 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
3356 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
3357 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
3358 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
3361 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
3362 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
3363 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
3367 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
3368 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
3369 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
3371 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
3372 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
3373 certificate auxiliary information.
3376 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
3380 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
3381 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
3382 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
3383 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
3384 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
3385 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
3386 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
3389 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
3390 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
3393 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
3394 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
3395 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
3396 manpages and fix a few bugs.
3399 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
3402 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
3403 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
3406 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
3407 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
3408 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
3409 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
3410 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
3411 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
3412 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
3413 using the new 'x509' options.
3415 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
3416 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
3417 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
3418 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
3422 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
3423 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
3424 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
3425 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
3426 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
3429 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
3430 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
3431 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
3432 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
3433 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
3434 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
3435 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
3436 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
3437 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
3438 the key length and effective key length are equal.
3441 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
3442 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
3443 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
3444 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
3445 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
3446 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
3447 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
3450 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
3451 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
3452 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
3453 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
3454 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
3455 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
3456 openssl.cnf for more info.
3459 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
3460 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
3461 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
3462 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
3463 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
3464 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
3465 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
3466 md should be large enough anyway.
3469 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
3470 for handling the random seed file.
3472 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
3474 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
3477 x509 (when signing).
3478 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
3479 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
3480 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
3482 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
3483 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
3484 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
3485 that support '-rand'.
3488 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
3489 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
3492 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
3493 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
3496 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
3497 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
3498 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
3499 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
3503 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
3504 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
3505 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
3506 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
3509 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
3510 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
3511 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
3512 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
3513 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
3514 print out all the purposes.
3517 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
3521 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
3522 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
3523 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
3524 single function call.
3527 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
3528 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
3531 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
3532 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
3533 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
3536 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
3537 when producing the local key id.
3538 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3540 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
3541 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
3542 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
3546 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
3547 a public key to be input or output. For example:
3548 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
3549 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
3552 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
3553 in the message. This was handled by allowing
3554 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
3555 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
3557 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
3558 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
3559 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
3560 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3562 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
3563 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
3564 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
3565 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
3566 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
3567 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
3568 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
3569 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
3570 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
3571 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
3572 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
3573 trivial: move one line.
3574 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
3576 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
3577 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
3578 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
3579 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
3580 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
3581 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
3582 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
3583 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
3584 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
3585 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
3586 with an event loop for example.
3589 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
3590 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
3591 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
3592 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
3593 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
3594 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
3595 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
3596 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
3597 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
3600 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
3601 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
3602 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
3603 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
3604 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
3605 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
3608 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
3609 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
3610 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
3611 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
3613 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
3614 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
3615 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
3616 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
3620 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
3621 (still largely untested)
3624 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
3625 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
3628 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
3629 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
3632 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
3633 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
3634 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
3637 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
3638 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
3639 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
3640 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
3641 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
3644 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
3647 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
3648 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
3649 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
3650 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
3651 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
3655 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
3656 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
3659 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
3662 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
3663 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
3664 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
3665 are otherwise ignored at present.
3668 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
3669 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
3670 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
3671 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
3672 copied until the next read.
3675 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
3676 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
3677 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
3680 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
3681 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
3682 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
3683 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
3684 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
3685 associated functions.
3688 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
3689 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
3690 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
3691 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
3692 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
3693 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
3694 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
3695 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
3696 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
3700 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
3701 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
3702 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
3703 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
3706 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
3707 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
3708 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
3709 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
3710 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
3714 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
3715 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
3719 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
3720 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
3721 extensions to be obtained and added.
3724 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
3725 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
3728 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
3730 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3731 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3733 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
3734 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
3736 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
3740 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
3741 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
3742 DH parameters contain its length).
3744 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
3745 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
3746 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
3747 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
3748 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
3749 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
3750 utter importance to use
3751 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3753 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3754 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
3755 attacks may become possible!
3758 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
3761 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
3762 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
3765 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
3766 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
3767 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
3771 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
3772 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
3773 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
3774 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
3775 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
3776 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
3777 private key operations.
3780 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
3783 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
3784 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
3786 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
3787 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
3788 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
3789 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
3790 the password callback is called.
3791 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
3793 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
3795 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
3796 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
3797 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
3798 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
3799 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
3800 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
3803 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
3804 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
3805 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
3806 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
3807 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
3808 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
3811 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
3814 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
3815 delete an unused file.
3818 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
3819 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
3820 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
3821 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
3824 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
3825 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
3826 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
3830 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
3831 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
3832 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3834 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
3835 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
3836 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
3837 comparison" warnings.
3838 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
3841 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
3842 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
3843 derived keys are printed to stderr.
3846 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
3847 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
3849 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
3850 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
3852 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
3853 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
3854 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
3856 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
3857 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
3858 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
3859 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
3860 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
3862 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
3864 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
3865 The interface is as follows:
3866 Applications can use
3867 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
3868 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
3869 "off" is now the default.
3870 The library internally uses
3871 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
3872 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
3873 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
3875 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
3876 even the default) are now avoided.
3878 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
3879 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
3880 than just having a counter.
3882 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
3884 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
3888 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
3889 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
3890 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
3891 Initial "mode" flags are:
3893 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
3894 a single record has been written.
3895 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
3896 retries use the same buffer location.
3897 (But all of the contents must be
3901 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
3904 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
3905 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
3907 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
3908 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
3909 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
3912 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
3913 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
3915 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
3917 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
3918 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
3919 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
3920 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
3922 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
3923 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
3925 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
3926 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
3927 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
3928 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
3929 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
3930 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
3933 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
3934 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
3935 necessary function names.
3938 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
3939 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
3940 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
3941 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
3944 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
3945 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
3946 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
3949 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
3950 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
3951 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
3952 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
3954 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
3958 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
3959 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
3960 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
3963 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
3964 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
3968 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
3969 for the encoded length.
3970 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
3972 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
3975 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
3976 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
3977 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
3978 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
3981 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
3982 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
3983 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3985 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
3986 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
3987 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
3991 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
3992 to use the new extension code.
3995 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
3996 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
3997 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4001 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4002 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4003 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4007 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4010 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4011 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4012 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4015 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4016 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4017 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4018 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4021 *) DES library cleanups.
4024 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4025 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4026 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4027 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4028 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4032 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4033 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4036 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4037 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4038 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4039 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4040 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4041 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4042 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4043 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4044 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4047 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4048 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4049 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4050 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4051 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4052 value doesn't matter.
4055 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4059 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4060 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4061 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4062 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4064 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4067 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4068 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4069 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4071 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
4072 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4074 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
4077 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
4080 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
4083 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
4087 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
4089 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
4091 *) Updated some demos.
4092 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
4094 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
4097 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
4100 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
4103 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
4104 instead of using a fixed path.
4107 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
4110 *) Improvements for VMS support.
4114 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
4116 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
4117 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
4118 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4120 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
4121 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
4122 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
4123 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
4124 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
4125 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
4126 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
4127 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
4128 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
4129 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
4132 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
4133 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
4136 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
4137 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
4138 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
4139 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
4140 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
4142 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
4145 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
4146 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
4147 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
4150 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
4153 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
4154 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
4155 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
4156 key elements as negative integers.
4159 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
4160 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4163 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
4165 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
4166 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
4167 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
4170 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
4171 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
4172 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
4173 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
4174 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
4177 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
4180 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
4181 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
4182 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
4183 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4185 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
4186 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
4187 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
4189 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
4190 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
4191 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
4192 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
4193 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
4194 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
4195 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
4196 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
4197 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
4199 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
4200 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
4201 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
4202 does not influence s as it used to.
4204 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
4205 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
4206 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
4207 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
4208 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
4209 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
4212 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
4213 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
4214 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
4218 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
4219 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
4220 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
4224 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
4225 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
4226 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
4230 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
4231 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
4234 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
4235 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4240 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
4241 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4243 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
4244 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4246 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
4249 *) Update HPUX configuration.
4252 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
4253 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4255 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
4256 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
4257 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
4261 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
4262 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
4263 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
4264 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
4265 now it really counts the depth.
4268 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
4269 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
4270 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
4271 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
4272 didn't match the private key).
4274 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
4275 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
4276 connection using the SSL_CTX).
4279 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
4282 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
4286 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
4287 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
4288 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
4291 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
4294 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
4295 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
4296 such as /usr/local/bin.
4299 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
4300 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4302 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
4305 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
4306 extension adding in x509 utility.
4309 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
4312 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
4316 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
4319 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
4320 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
4321 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
4322 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
4323 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
4324 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
4325 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
4326 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
4327 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
4328 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
4331 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
4334 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
4335 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
4338 *) Fix some race conditions.
4341 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
4342 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
4345 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
4348 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
4349 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
4350 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
4351 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
4353 *) Fix lots of warnings.
4354 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4356 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
4357 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
4358 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4360 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
4361 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4363 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
4366 *) Fix typos in error codes.
4367 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
4369 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
4372 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
4373 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4375 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
4376 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
4379 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
4380 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
4383 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
4384 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
4387 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
4388 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
4391 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
4392 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
4395 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
4396 support typesafe stack.
4399 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
4400 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
4402 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
4403 old X509V3 handling code.
4406 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
4409 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
4412 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
4415 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
4416 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
4418 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
4419 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
4420 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
4421 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
4422 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
4425 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
4426 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
4427 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
4428 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
4429 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4431 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
4432 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
4433 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
4434 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4436 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
4437 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
4438 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
4439 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4441 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
4442 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
4443 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
4444 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
4445 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
4446 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
4449 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
4450 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
4453 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
4454 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
4457 *) Tweaks to Configure
4458 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4460 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
4464 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
4467 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
4468 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
4471 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
4472 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
4473 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
4476 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
4479 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
4480 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
4483 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
4484 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
4485 to library startup routines.
4488 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
4489 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
4490 codes along the way.
4493 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
4494 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
4495 objects to objects.h
4498 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
4499 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
4502 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
4503 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
4505 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
4506 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
4507 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
4509 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
4510 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4511 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4513 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
4514 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
4515 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
4518 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
4520 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
4521 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
4524 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
4525 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
4526 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
4527 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
4528 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
4530 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
4531 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
4532 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
4534 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4536 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
4538 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
4540 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
4541 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4543 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
4544 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
4545 if someone would make that last step automatic.
4546 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
4548 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
4551 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
4552 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
4553 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
4554 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
4557 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
4558 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
4559 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
4562 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
4563 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
4564 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
4565 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
4566 installed as `perl').
4567 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4569 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
4570 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4572 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
4573 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
4574 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
4575 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
4576 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
4579 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
4582 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
4583 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
4584 is horrible: I feel ill....
4587 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
4588 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
4589 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
4590 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
4593 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
4594 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4596 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
4597 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
4598 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
4599 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4601 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
4602 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
4603 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
4604 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
4605 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
4606 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
4608 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4610 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
4611 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4613 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
4614 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
4616 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
4619 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
4620 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
4624 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
4625 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
4626 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
4627 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
4628 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
4629 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
4630 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
4631 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
4632 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
4633 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
4634 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4636 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
4639 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
4640 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
4641 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
4642 for linking it into DSOs.
4643 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4645 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
4649 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
4650 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
4651 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
4652 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
4653 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
4654 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4656 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
4657 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
4658 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
4659 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
4660 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
4661 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
4662 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4664 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
4665 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
4666 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
4670 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
4671 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
4672 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
4673 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
4676 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
4677 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
4678 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
4679 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
4680 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
4684 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
4685 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
4686 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
4687 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
4688 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4690 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
4691 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
4692 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4694 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
4695 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4697 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
4698 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
4699 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
4700 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
4701 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
4704 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
4705 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
4706 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
4707 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
4708 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
4709 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
4710 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
4713 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
4715 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
4716 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
4719 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
4720 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
4722 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
4723 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
4726 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
4727 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
4728 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
4729 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
4730 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
4732 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
4733 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
4734 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
4735 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
4736 no way to reconfigure them.
4737 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
4738 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
4739 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
4740 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
4741 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
4742 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4744 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
4745 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
4746 recognized by the users.
4747 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4749 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
4750 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
4751 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
4752 already masked variable.
4753 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4755 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
4756 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4758 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
4759 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
4760 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
4761 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4763 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
4764 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
4765 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4767 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
4768 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
4769 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
4770 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
4771 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
4772 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
4773 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
4774 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
4776 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4778 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
4779 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
4780 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4782 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
4783 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
4787 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
4788 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4790 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
4791 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
4792 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
4793 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
4796 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
4799 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
4800 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4802 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
4805 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
4806 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
4809 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
4810 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
4813 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
4814 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
4815 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
4816 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
4817 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
4818 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
4819 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
4822 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
4823 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4825 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
4826 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
4827 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
4828 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
4829 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4831 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
4832 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
4833 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
4836 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
4837 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
4841 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
4842 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
4843 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4845 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
4846 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
4847 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
4851 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
4852 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
4853 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
4854 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
4857 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
4858 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
4859 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
4860 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
4863 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
4864 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
4865 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
4866 so it wasn't spotted.
4867 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
4869 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
4870 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
4871 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
4872 vectors if you have them.
4875 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
4876 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
4879 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
4880 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
4881 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
4882 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
4884 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
4885 it will update them.
4888 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
4889 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
4890 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
4891 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
4892 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
4893 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
4894 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
4895 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4897 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
4898 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
4899 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
4900 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
4901 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
4902 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
4903 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
4904 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
4905 the crypto/md/ stuff).
4906 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4908 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
4909 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
4910 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
4911 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
4912 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
4915 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
4919 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
4920 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4922 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
4923 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4925 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
4926 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
4929 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
4930 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
4932 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
4933 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
4935 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
4938 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
4942 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
4943 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
4944 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
4945 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4947 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4950 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4953 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
4956 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
4957 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
4960 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
4961 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
4965 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
4966 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
4969 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
4970 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
4971 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
4974 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
4975 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
4976 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
4977 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
4978 properly to be processed.
4981 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
4982 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
4983 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
4986 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
4987 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
4989 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
4990 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
4991 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
4992 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
4993 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
4994 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
4995 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
4996 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
4997 or delete all the .err files.
5000 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5001 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5002 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5003 to regenerate it if needed.
5004 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5005 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5007 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5008 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5010 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5011 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5012 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5013 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5014 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5017 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5018 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5020 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5021 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5023 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5024 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5025 error, but didn't set one).
5026 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5028 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5031 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5032 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5035 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5036 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5038 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5039 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5040 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5041 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5042 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5043 OID is not part of the table.
5046 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5047 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5050 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5053 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5054 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5058 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5059 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5061 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5063 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5065 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5066 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5068 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5069 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5071 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
5072 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5074 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
5075 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
5078 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
5079 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
5082 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
5083 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5085 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
5086 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5088 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
5089 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5091 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
5092 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5094 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
5095 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
5096 unused in the certificate verification process.
5097 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5099 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
5100 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
5103 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
5104 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
5105 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
5107 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
5108 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
5109 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
5110 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
5111 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
5113 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
5114 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
5117 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
5120 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
5123 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
5124 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
5126 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
5129 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
5132 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
5135 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
5136 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
5137 other error libraries.
5140 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
5143 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
5144 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
5148 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
5149 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
5150 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
5151 the new set of documenation files.
5152 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5154 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
5155 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
5156 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
5157 number of arguments.
5158 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
5160 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
5163 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
5164 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
5165 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5167 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
5170 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
5174 unixware-2.0-pentium
5178 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
5179 before they are needed.
5182 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
5186 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
5188 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
5189 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
5190 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5192 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
5195 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
5196 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
5197 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5199 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
5200 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
5201 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
5203 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
5204 when "ssleay" is still not found.
5205 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5207 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
5208 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
5210 *) Updated the README file.
5211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5213 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
5214 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
5215 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5217 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
5218 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
5219 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5221 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
5222 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
5223 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
5224 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
5225 o removed obsolete TODO file
5226 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
5227 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5229 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
5230 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
5231 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
5232 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
5233 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
5234 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
5235 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5237 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
5240 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
5241 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
5242 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
5244 [The OpenSSL Project]
5247 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
5249 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
5252 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
5255 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
5256 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
5259 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
5260 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
5264 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
5266 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
5268 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
5271 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
5274 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
5277 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
5280 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
5283 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
5286 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
5289 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
5292 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
5295 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
5298 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
5301 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
5304 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
5307 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
5310 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
5313 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
5316 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
5319 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
5320 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
5321 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5324 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
5325 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
