5 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
10 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
11 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
12 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
16 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
17 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
18 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
19 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
20 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
21 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
24 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
25 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
27 This work was sponsored by Google.
30 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
31 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
32 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
33 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
34 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
35 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
36 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
39 This work was sponsored by Google.
42 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
44 This work was sponsored by Google.
47 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
48 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
49 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
50 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
52 This work was sponsored by Google.
55 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
56 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
57 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
58 CRL functionality in future.
60 This work was sponsored by Google.
63 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
65 This work was sponsored by Google.
68 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
69 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
71 This work was sponsored by Google.
74 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
75 and URI types are currently supported.
77 This work was sponsored by Google.
80 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
81 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
82 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
83 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
84 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
85 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
86 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
87 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
89 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
90 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
91 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
93 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
94 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
95 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
96 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
98 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
99 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
100 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
101 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
102 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
103 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
104 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
105 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
107 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
109 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
110 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
111 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
113 This work was sponsored by Google.
116 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
119 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
120 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
121 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
124 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
125 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
128 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
129 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
132 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
133 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
134 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
135 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
136 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
137 content types and variants.
140 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
143 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
144 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
145 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
146 files from the associated perl scripts.
149 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
150 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
151 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
153 *) s390x assembler pack.
156 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
160 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
161 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
162 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
163 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
164 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
165 to use. For example, specify an option
167 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
169 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
170 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
171 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
172 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
173 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
174 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
176 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
177 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
178 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
179 return non-zero for success.
181 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
184 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
185 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
189 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
192 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
193 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
194 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
195 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
196 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
197 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
198 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
199 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
200 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
202 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
203 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
204 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
205 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
206 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
207 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
209 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
210 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
211 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
212 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
213 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
214 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
218 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
221 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
223 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
224 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
225 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
228 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
229 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
232 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
233 protection in servers so again support should be possible
234 with no application modification.
236 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
237 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
239 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
240 or server extensions to be examined.
242 This work was sponsored by Google.
245 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
246 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
247 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
249 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
250 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
252 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
254 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
255 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
256 to output in BER and PEM format.
259 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
260 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
261 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
262 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
263 -macopt options to dgst utility.
266 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
267 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
268 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
272 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
273 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
274 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
275 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
276 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
277 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
278 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
279 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
282 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
283 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
284 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
285 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
287 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
288 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
289 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
293 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
294 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
295 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
296 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
297 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
298 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
299 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
300 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
301 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
303 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
304 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
305 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
306 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
307 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
308 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
309 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
310 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
311 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
312 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
313 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
316 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
317 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
318 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
320 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
321 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
325 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
326 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
327 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
330 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
331 it yet and it is largely untested.
334 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
337 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
338 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
339 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
342 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
345 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
346 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
347 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
348 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
351 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
352 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
353 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
354 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
355 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
358 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
359 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
362 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
363 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
364 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
365 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
368 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
369 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
370 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
371 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
374 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
375 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
378 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
379 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
380 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
381 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
384 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
385 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
386 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
389 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
393 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
394 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
397 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
398 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
399 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
403 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
404 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
405 to free up any added signature OIDs.
408 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
409 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
410 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
411 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
414 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
415 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
416 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
417 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
418 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
419 the array representation useful in a more general context.
422 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
423 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
424 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
425 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
426 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
428 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
429 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
430 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
431 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
432 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
435 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
436 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
437 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
438 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
440 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
441 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
442 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
443 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
444 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
450 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
451 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
455 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
456 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
459 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
460 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
463 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
464 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
465 functional reference processing.
468 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
469 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
473 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
474 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
475 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
478 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
479 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
480 application to support multiple signers.
483 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
487 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
488 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
489 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
490 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
491 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
494 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
498 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
499 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
500 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
501 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
505 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
506 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
507 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
508 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
509 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
510 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
511 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
512 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
515 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
516 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
517 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
518 between digests and public key types.
521 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
522 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
523 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
524 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
527 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
528 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
532 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
535 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
539 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
540 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
541 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
542 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
547 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
549 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
551 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
553 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
554 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
555 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
556 functionality for RSA.
559 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
560 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
561 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
564 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
565 key API, doesn't do much yet.
568 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
569 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
570 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
573 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
574 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
577 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
578 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
581 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
582 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
586 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
587 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
588 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
592 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
593 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
594 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
595 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
596 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
597 of public and private key structures.
600 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
601 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
604 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
605 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
606 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
609 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
613 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
614 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
616 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
618 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
620 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
621 and response verification functionality.
622 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
624 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
625 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
626 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
627 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
628 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
629 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
630 server_name extension.
632 New functions (subject to change):
635 SSL_get_servername_type()
638 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
640 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
641 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
642 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
643 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
644 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
646 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
648 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
649 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
650 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
651 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
652 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
653 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
656 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
658 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
661 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
662 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
663 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
664 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
665 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
668 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
669 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
673 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
674 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
675 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
676 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
679 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
680 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
681 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
682 using the maximum available value.
685 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
686 in addition to the text details.
689 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
690 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
691 handle several customised structures at all.
694 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
695 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
696 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
699 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
702 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
703 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
704 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
707 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
708 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
709 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
712 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
713 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
717 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
720 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
723 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [xx XXX xxxx]
725 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
726 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
728 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
729 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
731 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
732 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
733 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
734 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
735 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
738 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
740 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
741 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
744 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
745 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
746 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
747 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
749 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
750 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
752 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
754 *) Various precautionary measures:
756 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
758 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
759 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
760 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
762 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
763 outside the expected range.
765 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
768 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
770 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
771 the load fails. Useful for distros.
772 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
774 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
777 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
780 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
782 This work was sponsored by Logica.
785 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
786 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
787 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
789 This work was sponsored by Logica.
792 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
793 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
794 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
798 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
800 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
801 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
802 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
803 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
805 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
806 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
809 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
811 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
812 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
813 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
815 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
817 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
818 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
819 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
820 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
823 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
824 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
825 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
826 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
827 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
828 invalid read after the end of 'db').
829 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
831 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
833 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
834 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
835 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
836 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
837 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
839 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
840 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
842 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
843 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
844 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
845 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
846 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
848 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
850 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
851 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
852 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
853 sets may exist with different names.
856 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
857 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
858 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
859 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
860 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
861 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
862 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
863 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
864 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
866 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
868 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
869 implemention in the following ways:
871 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
874 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
875 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
876 ignored for embedded content.
878 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
879 with the enable-cms configuration option.
882 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
883 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
884 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
885 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
887 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
888 uncompresses any data passed through it.
891 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
892 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
895 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
896 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
897 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
898 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
899 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
900 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
904 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
905 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
906 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
910 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
911 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
912 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
913 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
914 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
915 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
916 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
917 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
919 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
920 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
921 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
922 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
923 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
924 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
925 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
927 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
928 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
929 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
930 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
931 to s_client and s_server.
934 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
937 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
938 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
939 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
940 + Fix ia64 assembler code
941 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
943 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
945 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
946 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
947 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
948 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
949 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
950 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
951 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
952 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
955 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
956 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
957 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
960 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
961 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
962 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
965 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
966 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
969 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
970 protection in servers so again support should be possible
971 with no application modification.
973 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
974 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
976 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
977 or server extensions to be examined.
979 This work was sponsored by Google.
982 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
983 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
984 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
985 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
986 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
987 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
988 server_name extension.
990 New functions (subject to change):
993 SSL_get_servername_type()
996 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
998 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
999 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1000 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1001 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1002 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1004 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1006 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1007 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1008 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1009 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1010 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1011 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1014 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1016 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1019 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1022 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1023 (which previously caused an internal error).
1026 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1029 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1030 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1032 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1033 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1034 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1036 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1037 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1038 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1039 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1041 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1042 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1043 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1044 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1046 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1047 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1048 information. For detailed background information, see
1049 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1050 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1051 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1052 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1053 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1054 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1055 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1056 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1057 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1058 remove a conditional branch.
1060 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1061 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1062 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1063 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1064 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1065 remains as a deprecated alias.
1067 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1068 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1069 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1070 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1072 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1073 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1074 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1075 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1076 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1077 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1078 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1079 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1081 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1083 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1084 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1085 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1086 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1087 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1088 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1089 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1090 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1091 in a different context.
1094 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1095 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1096 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1099 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1100 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1101 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1103 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1105 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1106 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1107 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1108 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1109 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1112 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1113 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1114 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1115 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1116 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1117 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1120 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1121 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1122 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1123 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1124 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1127 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1128 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1130 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1131 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1132 Improve header file function name parsing.
1135 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1136 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1139 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1141 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1142 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1143 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1145 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1146 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1148 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1149 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1151 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1152 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1153 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1155 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1156 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1157 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1158 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1159 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1160 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1161 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1162 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1163 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1165 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1166 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1167 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1168 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1169 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1171 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1172 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1173 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1174 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1175 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1176 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1177 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1178 multiple values to extend the available space.
1182 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1184 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1185 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1187 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1190 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1191 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1192 undesirable limitations.
1193 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1195 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1196 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1197 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1198 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1199 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1200 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1201 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1204 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1206 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1207 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1208 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1210 The latter two were purportedly from
1211 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1214 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1215 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1216 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1219 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1220 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1223 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1224 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1225 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1226 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1228 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1229 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1230 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1233 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1234 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1235 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1236 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1237 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1238 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1241 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1243 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1244 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1247 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1248 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1250 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1251 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1252 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1253 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1256 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1257 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1260 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1261 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1262 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1263 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1264 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1265 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1266 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1270 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1271 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1272 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1273 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1276 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1277 under VC++ build system.
1280 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1281 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1284 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1286 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1287 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1288 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1289 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1290 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1292 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1293 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1294 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1296 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1299 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1300 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1303 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1304 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1306 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1309 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1310 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1312 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1313 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1316 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1317 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1321 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1323 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1326 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1329 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1330 key into the same file any more.
1333 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1336 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1337 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1339 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1340 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1343 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1344 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1345 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1346 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1347 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1348 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1350 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1351 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1352 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1355 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1356 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1357 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1358 - add new function for parameter creation
1359 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1360 BN_BLINDING parameters
1361 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1362 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1363 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1367 *) Add support for DTLS.
1368 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1370 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1371 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1374 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1375 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1378 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1379 the apps/openssl applications.
1382 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1383 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1384 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1387 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1388 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1390 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1391 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1393 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1394 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1395 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1396 avoid this algorithm.)
1400 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1401 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1402 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1405 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1406 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1409 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1410 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1411 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1414 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1416 The blank line is mandatory.
1420 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1421 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1425 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1426 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1428 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1429 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1430 to support policy checking and print out.
1433 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1434 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1435 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1436 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1438 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1441 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1442 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1444 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1445 implementation contributed by IBM.
1446 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1448 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1449 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1450 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1451 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1453 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1454 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1456 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1457 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1458 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1459 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1460 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1461 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1464 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1465 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1466 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1467 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1468 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1469 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1470 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1473 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1476 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1477 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1478 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1479 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1480 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1481 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1482 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1483 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1486 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1487 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1488 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1489 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1492 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1495 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1498 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1499 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1500 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1501 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1502 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1503 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1504 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1507 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1508 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1511 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1512 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1513 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1516 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1517 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1518 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1522 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1523 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1526 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1527 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1528 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1529 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1532 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1533 initialised value as BN_new().
1534 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1536 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1539 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1540 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1541 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1542 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1543 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1544 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1545 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1546 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1547 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1548 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1549 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1550 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1551 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1552 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1553 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1555 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1556 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1557 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1558 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1561 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1562 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1563 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1564 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1565 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1566 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1567 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1568 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1569 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1572 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1573 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1574 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1575 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1576 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1577 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1578 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1581 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1582 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1583 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1584 these have been updated also.
1587 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1588 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1589 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1590 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1591 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1595 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1596 structure of type "other".
1599 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1600 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1601 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1602 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1603 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1604 situation in the script.
1605 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1607 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1608 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1609 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1610 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1611 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1612 used as premaster secret.
1613 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1615 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1616 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1617 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1619 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1620 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1622 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1623 control of the error stack.
1626 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1629 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1630 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1631 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1632 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1635 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1636 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1637 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1640 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1641 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1642 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1646 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1647 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1648 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1649 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1652 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1653 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1654 the following flags are defined:
1656 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1657 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1658 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1661 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1662 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1663 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1664 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1668 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1669 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1670 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1671 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1672 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1675 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1676 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1677 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1680 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1681 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1682 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1683 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1684 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1685 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1688 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1692 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1695 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1698 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1701 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1702 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1703 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1704 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1705 default implementation more easily.
1708 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1712 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1713 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1716 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1717 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1718 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1719 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1721 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1722 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1723 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1724 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1727 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1728 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1732 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1733 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1734 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1735 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1736 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1737 scalar * generator).
1738 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1740 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1741 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1742 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1746 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1747 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1748 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1749 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1750 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1751 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1752 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1753 linker additions, eg;
1754 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1757 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1758 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1759 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1762 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1763 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1764 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1768 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1769 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1770 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1771 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1774 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1775 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1776 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1777 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1778 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1779 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1780 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1781 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1782 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1783 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1785 Example for using the new callback interface:
1787 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1791 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1793 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1794 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1795 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1796 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1797 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1798 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1803 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1804 available to TLS with the number defined in
1805 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1808 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1809 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1811 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1812 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1813 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1814 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1816 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1817 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1819 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1820 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1824 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1825 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1828 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1829 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1830 and a macro that behave like
1831 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1833 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1836 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes

1838 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1840 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1842 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1845 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1846 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1847 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1848 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1850 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1851 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1852 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1853 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1854 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1855 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1856 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1857 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1859 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1860 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1863 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1864 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1866 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1867 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1868 files while avoiding the low level API.
1870 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1871 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1872 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1873 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1875 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1876 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1877 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1878 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1879 instead of the low level API.
1882 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1883 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1884 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1885 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1886 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1889 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1890 down to the template encoder.
1893 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1894 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1897 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1898 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1899 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1900 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1902 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1903 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1905 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1906 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1908 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1909 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1912 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1913 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1914 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1917 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1918 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1920 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1921 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1923 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1924 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1927 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1931 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1932 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1933 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1934 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1935 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1936 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1938 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1939 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1942 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1943 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1944 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1945 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1946 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1947 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1948 various internal method names.)
1950 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1951 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1953 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1954 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1956 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1957 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1959 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1960 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1961 methods are undefined.
1963 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1964 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1966 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1967 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1968 length of the modulus.
1970 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1971 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1973 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1974 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1976 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1977 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1979 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1980 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1981 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1984 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1985 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1986 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1987 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1989 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1990 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1991 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1992 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1994 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1995 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1997 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1998 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1999 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2000 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2001 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2003 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2004 This applies to the following functions:
2009 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2010 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2012 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2013 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2017 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2022 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2024 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2025 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2026 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2027 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2028 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2030 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2031 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2033 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2034 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2035 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2037 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2038 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2040 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2041 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2042 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2043 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2044 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2046 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2048 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2049 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2050 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2051 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2052 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2053 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2054 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2055 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2056 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2057 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2058 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2059 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2061 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2064 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2065 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2066 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2067 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2069 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2070 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2071 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2072 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2077 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2078 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2079 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2080 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2081 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2083 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2084 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2085 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2086 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2087 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2088 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2089 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2090 adding different types of curves.
2091 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2093 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2094 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2095 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2098 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2099 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2101 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2102 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2103 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2104 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2106 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2108 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2109 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2111 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2112 library. Most notably,
2113 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2114 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2115 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2116 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2117 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2118 extracted before the specific public key;
2119 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2120 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2122 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2123 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2125 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2126 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2127 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2128 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2130 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2131 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2132 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2134 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2135 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2136 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2137 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2138 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2139 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2143 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2145 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2146 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2147 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2148 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2149 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2150 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2151 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2152 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2153 in a different context.
2156 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2158 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2160 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2162 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2163 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2164 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2167 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2168 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2169 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2172 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2175 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2176 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2179 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2180 run algorithm test programs.
2183 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2186 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2187 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2188 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2189 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2190 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2193 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2194 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2197 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2199 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2200 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2201 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2203 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2204 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2206 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2207 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2209 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2210 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2211 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2213 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2214 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2215 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2216 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2217 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2218 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2219 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2222 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2224 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2225 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2227 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2228 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2229 undesirable limitations.
2230 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2232 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2234 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2235 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2236 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2238 The latter two were purportedly from
2239 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2242 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2243 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2244 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2247 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2248 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2251 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2253 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2254 module in FIPS mode.
2257 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2260 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2261 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2262 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2263 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2266 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2268 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2269 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2270 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2271 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2272 the difference induced by this change.
2275 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2277 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2278 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2279 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2280 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2281 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2283 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2284 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2285 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2287 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2288 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2291 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2292 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2293 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2294 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2298 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2299 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2300 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2301 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2302 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2304 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2305 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2306 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2307 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2308 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2309 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2311 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2313 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2314 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2315 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2316 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2317 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2320 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2324 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2325 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2326 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2329 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2330 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2331 structures constant.
2334 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2336 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2339 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2340 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2341 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2342 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2343 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2344 some needed definitions.
2347 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2350 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2351 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2352 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2353 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2356 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2358 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2359 server and client random values. Previously
2360 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2361 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2363 This change has negligible security impact because:
2365 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2368 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2371 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2372 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2375 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2378 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2380 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2383 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2384 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2385 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2387 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2390 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2391 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2394 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2395 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2396 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2398 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2401 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2402 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2403 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2407 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2408 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2409 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2410 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2412 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2413 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2414 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2415 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2419 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2421 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2422 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2423 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2424 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2425 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2428 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2431 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2432 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2434 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2435 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2436 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2437 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2438 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2439 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2440 rather than being initialized to 1.
2443 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2445 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2446 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2447 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2449 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2451 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2453 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2454 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2455 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2456 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2457 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2458 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2461 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2462 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2463 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2464 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2465 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2469 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2470 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2471 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2472 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2473 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2476 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2477 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2478 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2482 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2483 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2485 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2488 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2490 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2492 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2493 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2495 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2497 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2498 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2502 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2503 exiting on the first error in a request.
2506 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2507 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2511 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2512 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2513 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2514 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2516 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2517 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2520 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2521 blocks during encryption.
2524 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2525 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2526 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2527 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2531 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2532 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2533 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2534 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2535 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2539 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2541 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2542 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2543 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2544 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2547 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2548 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2549 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2550 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2551 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2553 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2554 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2555 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2556 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2557 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2558 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2559 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2560 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2561 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2564 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2565 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2566 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2567 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2570 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2571 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2574 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2576 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2577 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2578 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2579 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2580 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2582 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2583 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2584 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2586 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2587 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2588 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2589 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2590 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2592 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2593 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2594 used by default when no-err is given.
2597 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2598 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2600 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2601 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2602 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2603 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2604 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2606 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2607 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2608 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2609 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2611 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2613 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2615 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2617 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2618 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2619 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2620 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2624 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2625 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2627 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2628 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2631 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2632 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2633 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2634 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2637 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2638 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2639 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2640 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2641 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2642 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2643 followup to PR #377.
2646 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2647 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2650 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2651 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2652 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2653 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2655 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2657 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2660 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2661 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2662 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2663 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2665 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2669 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2670 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2674 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2675 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2676 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2677 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2678 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2679 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2681 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2682 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2683 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2684 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2685 have to be made anyway).
2688 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2689 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2690 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2693 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2694 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2695 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2698 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2699 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2700 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2702 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2703 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2704 edit numbers of the version.
2705 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2707 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2708 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2709 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2711 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2712 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2714 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2715 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2716 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2718 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2719 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2721 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2722 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2724 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2725 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2727 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2728 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2730 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2732 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2734 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2735 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2736 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2738 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2739 representations in a platform independent manner.
2740 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2742 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2743 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2744 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2746 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2748 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2750 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2751 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2753 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2755 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2757 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2758 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2759 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2761 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2763 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2765 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2766 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2768 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2769 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2771 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2772 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2774 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2775 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2777 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2779 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2781 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2782 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2784 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2785 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2787 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2788 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2790 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2792 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2793 the 0.9.6 release series:
2795 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2796 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2798 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2800 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2803 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2804 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2806 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2807 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2809 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2810 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2811 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2812 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2814 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2815 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2816 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2818 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2819 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2820 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2821 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2823 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2824 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2825 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2828 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2829 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2830 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2831 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2832 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2833 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2834 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2835 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2838 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2839 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2840 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2843 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2844 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2845 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2846 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2847 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2849 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2850 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2852 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2853 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2856 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2857 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2858 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2859 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2860 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2861 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2864 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2865 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2866 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2869 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2870 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2873 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2874 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2875 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2876 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2877 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2878 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2879 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2882 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2883 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2884 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2885 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2886 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2887 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2890 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2891 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2892 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2893 declaration has been changed from
2896 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2897 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2898 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2899 has been changed into
2900 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2902 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2903 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2904 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2906 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2907 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2909 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2910 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2911 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2912 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2913 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2914 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2915 always load it have also been added.
2918 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2919 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2920 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2922 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2924 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2925 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2926 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2928 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2929 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2930 command line option can be used to specify an
2934 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2935 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2938 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2939 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2940 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2943 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2944 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2945 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2946 to work with the new engine framework.
2947 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2949 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2950 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2951 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2952 to work with the new engine framework.
2955 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2956 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2957 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2959 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.

2964 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2965 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant

2972 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2973 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2975 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2976 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2977 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2980 *) Add new functions
2982 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2983 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2984 These are similar to
2987 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2988 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2989 still in the error queue.
2990 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2992 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2994 default_algorithms = ALL
2995 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2998 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3001 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3004 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3005 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3006 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3007 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3009 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3010 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3012 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.

3015 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3016 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3019 *) New functions/macros
3021 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3022 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3023 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3024 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3026 to request calling a callback function
3028 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3029 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3031 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3032 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3033 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3034 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3035 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3036 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3037 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3038 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3039 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3040 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3042 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3043 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3046 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3047 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3048 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3049 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3050 the configuration scripts.
3052 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3053 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3054 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3056 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3057 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3059 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3060 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3061 when reusing an existing buffer.
3064 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3065 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3068 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3069 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3072 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3073 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3074 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3075 has the same effect.
3076 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3078 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3079 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3080 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3081 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3082 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3083 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3086 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3087 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3088 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3089 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3091 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3092 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3093 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3094 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3096 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3097 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3100 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3101 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3102 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3103 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3104 default), and then completely removed.
3107 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3108 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3109 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3110 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3111 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3112 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3113 particular extension is supported.
3116 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3117 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3120 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3121 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3122 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3123 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3124 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3125 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3126 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3127 requires the destination to be valid.
3129 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3130 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3133 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3134 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3135 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3138 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3139 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3141 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3142 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3143 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3144 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3145 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3146 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3147 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3148 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3149 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3150 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3151 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3152 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3153 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3154 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3155 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3156 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3157 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3158 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3159 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3163 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3166 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3167 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3168 become part of libeay.num as well.
3171 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3172 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3173 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3174 false once a handshake has been completed.
3175 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3176 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3177 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3178 client has followed the request.)
3181 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3182 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3183 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3184 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3186 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3187 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3188 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3191 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3194 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3195 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3196 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3199 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3200 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3203 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3204 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3205 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3206 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3209 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3210 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3211 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3212 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3213 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3214 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3217 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3218 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3219 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3220 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3221 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3222 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3223 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3224 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3227 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3228 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3231 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3234 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3235 md_data void pointer.
3238 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3239 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3240 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3241 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3242 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3243 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3246 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3247 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3248 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3249 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3250 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3251 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3252 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3253 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3254 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3255 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3256 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3257 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3258 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3259 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3260 rather than letting it slide.
3262 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3263 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3264 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3267 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3268 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3269 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3270 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3271 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3272 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3273 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3274 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3275 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3278 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3279 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3280 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3281 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3282 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3284 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3287 *) Add EVP test program.
3290 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3293 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3294 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3295 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3296 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3297 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3300 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3301 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3302 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3303 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3304 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3305 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3306 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3308 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3309 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3310 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3315 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3316 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3317 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3318 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3319 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3323 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3324 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3325 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3326 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3329 des_key_schedule ks;
3331 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3332 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3334 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3337 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3338 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3339 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3340 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3341 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3342 functions prevents this.
3345 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3348 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3349 correct _ecb suffix.
3352 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3353 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3354 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3355 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3356 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3359 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3362 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3363 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3364 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3365 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3367 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3368 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3370 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3371 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3372 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3373 via Richard Levitte]
3375 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3376 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3377 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3378 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3381 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3384 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3385 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3399 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3400 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3402 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3403 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3404 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3405 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3406 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3407 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3410 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3411 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3414 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3415 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3416 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3417 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3419 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3420 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3421 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3422 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3423 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3424 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3428 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3429 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3430 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3431 and interrupts/cancellations.
3434 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3435 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3438 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3439 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3440 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3442 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3443 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3447 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3448 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3449 than this minimum value is recommended.
3452 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3453 that are easily reachable.
3456 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3457 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3459 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3461 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3462 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3463 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3464 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3467 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3468 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3469 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3472 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3473 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3474 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3475 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3476 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3477 internally such as S/MIME.
3479 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3480 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3481 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3483 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3487 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3488 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3489 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3490 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3492 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3494 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3496 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3497 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3498 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3502 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3503 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3504 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3505 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3506 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3507 a window system and the like.
3510 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3511 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3514 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3515 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3516 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3517 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3518 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3519 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3520 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3521 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3522 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3526 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3527 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3531 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3532 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3533 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3534 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3535 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3536 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3537 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3538 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3541 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3542 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3543 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3544 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3545 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3546 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3547 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3548 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3549 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3550 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3551 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3552 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3553 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3554 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3555 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3556 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3557 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3560 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3561 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3562 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3563 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3564 internal engine_int.h header.
3567 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3568 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3569 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3570 modify their own ones).
3573 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3574 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3575 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3576 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3577 later on via ctrl() commands.
3578 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3579 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3580 structural references.
3581 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3582 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3583 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3584 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3585 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3586 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3587 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3588 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3589 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3590 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3591 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3592 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3595 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3596 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3597 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3598 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
