5 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
10 *) New "unified" build system
12 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
13 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
15 This system builds supports building in a differnt directory tree
16 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
17 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
19 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
20 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
21 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
22 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
25 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
28 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
29 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
30 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
31 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
34 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
35 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
37 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
38 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
39 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
40 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
41 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
42 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
43 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
44 have been adapted accordingly.
47 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
51 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
52 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
53 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
54 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
57 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
58 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
59 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
63 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
64 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
67 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
68 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
69 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
72 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
73 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
75 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
76 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
78 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
79 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
80 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
81 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
84 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
85 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
86 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
87 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
88 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
92 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
93 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
94 straightforward and less interdependent.
96 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
97 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
98 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
100 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
101 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
102 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
104 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
105 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
106 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
107 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
109 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
110 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
113 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
114 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
115 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
116 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
120 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
122 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
124 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
125 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
126 before trying to build now.*
129 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
133 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
135 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
136 the application's responsibility. The application provides
137 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
138 used to authenticate the peer.
140 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
141 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
142 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
143 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
144 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
147 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
148 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
149 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
150 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
151 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
152 or the 1.1.0 releases.
154 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
155 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
156 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
157 support for the deprecated features from the library and
158 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
159 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
160 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
161 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
164 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
165 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
166 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
167 compile with later releases.
169 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
170 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
171 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
172 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
173 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
176 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
177 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
178 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
179 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
180 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
181 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
182 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
183 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
186 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
189 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
190 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
191 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
194 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
195 include the ec.h header file instead.
198 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
199 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
200 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
203 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
204 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
207 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
208 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
210 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
211 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
212 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
215 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
216 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
217 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
218 an already created structure.
219 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
220 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
221 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
222 for deprecated builds.
225 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
226 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
227 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
228 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
229 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
230 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
231 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
234 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
235 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
236 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
237 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
240 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
241 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
244 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
245 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
248 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
249 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
250 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
251 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
252 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
253 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
254 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
258 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
259 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
260 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
263 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
266 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
268 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
270 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
272 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
273 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
281 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
282 set a mandatory field to NULL.
284 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
285 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
286 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
290 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
293 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
294 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
295 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
296 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
299 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
300 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
301 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
302 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
305 *) Fix no-stdio build.
306 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
307 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
309 *) New testing framework
310 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
311 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
312 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
313 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
314 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
315 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
317 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
319 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
320 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
324 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
325 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
326 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
327 and others were changed. All are now documented.
330 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
332 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
334 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
335 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
337 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
338 original RSA_PSK patch.
341 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
342 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
343 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
344 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
347 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
348 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
351 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
352 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
353 hasn't been working properly for a while.
356 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
357 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
358 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
359 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
363 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
364 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
365 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
366 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
369 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
370 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
371 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
372 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
373 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
374 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
377 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
378 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
379 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
380 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
381 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
382 header file has been removed.
385 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
386 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
389 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
390 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
391 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
393 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
397 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
400 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
404 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
407 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
408 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
409 initial patch which was a great help during development.
412 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
413 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
414 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
415 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
418 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
419 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
420 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
421 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
422 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
423 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
426 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
427 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
428 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
429 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
432 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
433 compatible client hello.
436 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
437 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
438 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
440 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
443 *) Removed old DES API.
446 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
452 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
457 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
460 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
461 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
462 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
463 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
464 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
465 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
466 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
467 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
468 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
469 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
470 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
473 *) Cleaned up dead code
474 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
477 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
478 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
479 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
482 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
483 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
484 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
487 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
488 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
489 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
491 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
492 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
493 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
495 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
497 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
499 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
500 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
501 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
503 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
504 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
506 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
507 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
510 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
511 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
512 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
513 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
515 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
516 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
517 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
518 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
520 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
521 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
522 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
524 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
525 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
528 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
530 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
531 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
533 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
534 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
536 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
539 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
543 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
544 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
545 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
546 algorithms and include tests cases.
549 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
553 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
554 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
557 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
558 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
560 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
561 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
564 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
565 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
569 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
570 sign or verify all in one operation.
573 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
574 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
575 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
578 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
581 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
584 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
585 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
586 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
587 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
588 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
591 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
595 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
596 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
597 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
600 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
601 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
604 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
607 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
608 POST to handle HMAC cases.
611 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
612 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
615 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
616 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
617 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
620 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
621 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
622 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
623 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
624 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
625 requested amount of entropy.
628 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
629 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
632 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
633 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
634 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
638 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
639 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
640 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
643 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
644 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
645 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
646 will never use XTS mode.
649 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
650 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
651 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
652 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
653 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
654 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
657 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
658 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
659 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
660 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
663 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
664 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
665 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
668 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
671 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
674 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
675 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
678 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
679 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
682 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
683 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
686 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
687 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
688 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
689 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
690 and rename any affected symbols.
693 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
694 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
697 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
698 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
699 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
702 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
705 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
706 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
707 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
710 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
711 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
714 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
715 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
716 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
717 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
718 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
719 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
723 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
724 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
725 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
726 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
727 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
728 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
729 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
730 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
733 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
734 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
737 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
739 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
740 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
742 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
743 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
744 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
745 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
746 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
747 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
749 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
750 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
751 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
753 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
755 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
759 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
760 Add CMAC pkey methods.
763 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
764 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
765 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
768 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
769 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
770 multi-process servers.
773 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
774 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
775 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
776 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
777 RAND_METHOD structure.
780 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
781 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
782 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
783 whose return value is often ignored.
786 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
787 *) DH small subgroups
789 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
790 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
791 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
792 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
793 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
794 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
795 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
796 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
797 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
798 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
800 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
801 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
802 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
803 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
804 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
806 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
807 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
808 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
809 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
811 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
812 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
814 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
818 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
820 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
821 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
822 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
825 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
826 and Sebastian Schinzel.
830 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
832 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
834 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
835 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
836 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
837 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
838 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
839 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
840 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
841 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
842 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
843 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
844 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
845 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
847 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
851 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
853 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
854 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
855 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
856 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
857 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
858 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
859 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
862 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
866 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
868 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
869 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
870 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
871 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
873 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
878 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
879 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
880 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
881 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
884 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
886 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
888 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
890 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
892 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
893 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
894 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
895 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
896 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
897 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
899 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
903 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
905 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
906 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
910 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
912 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
914 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
915 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
918 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
919 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
920 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
921 client authentication enabled.
923 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
927 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
929 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
930 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
931 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
934 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
935 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
936 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
937 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
938 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
941 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
942 independently by Hanno Böck.
946 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
948 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
949 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
950 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
952 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
953 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
954 servers are not affected.
956 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
960 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
962 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
963 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
964 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
966 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
970 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
972 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
973 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
974 a double free of the ticket data.
978 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
979 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
980 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
983 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
985 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
987 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
988 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
989 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
991 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
994 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
996 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
998 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
999 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1000 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1001 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1002 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1003 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1004 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1005 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1007 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1011 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1013 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1014 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1015 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1016 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1017 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1018 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1019 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1020 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1023 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1027 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1029 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1030 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1031 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1032 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1033 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1034 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1038 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1040 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1041 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1042 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1043 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1044 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1045 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1046 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1048 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1052 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1054 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1055 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1056 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1058 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1059 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1060 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1065 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1067 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1068 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1069 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1071 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1072 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1073 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1075 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1079 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1081 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1082 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1083 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1085 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1086 (OpenSSL development team).
1090 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1092 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1093 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1094 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1098 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1100 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1101 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1102 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1103 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1104 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1105 SSL_client_methodv23)
1106 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1107 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1109 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1110 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1111 output may be predictable.
1113 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1114 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1116 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1120 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1122 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1123 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1124 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1125 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1126 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1127 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1129 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1134 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1136 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1137 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1139 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1143 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1146 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1148 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1149 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1150 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
1151 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1152 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1153 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1156 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1157 (other platforms pending).
1158 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1160 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1161 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1164 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1165 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1166 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1169 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1170 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1171 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1172 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1175 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1176 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1178 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1179 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1180 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1181 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1182 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1184 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1187 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1188 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1189 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1190 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1192 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1194 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1196 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1197 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1198 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1201 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1204 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1205 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1206 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1209 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1210 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1213 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1214 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1217 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1218 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1219 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1220 algorithms and include tests cases.
1223 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1225 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1227 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1228 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1231 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1232 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1233 summary of the connection parameters.
1236 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1237 of connection parameters.
1240 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1241 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1243 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1244 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1247 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1250 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1251 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1254 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1255 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1258 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1262 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1263 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1264 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1267 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1270 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1271 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1274 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1275 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1276 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1280 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1281 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1284 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1288 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1292 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1293 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1294 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1295 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1298 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1299 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1302 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1303 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1304 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1308 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1309 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1310 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1311 use the certificate.
1314 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1317 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1318 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1319 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1320 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1321 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1322 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1323 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1325 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1326 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1330 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1331 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1332 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1335 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1336 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1337 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1338 supported signature algorithms.
1341 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1344 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1345 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1346 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1347 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1348 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1349 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1350 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1353 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1354 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1355 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1356 to have similar checks in it.
1358 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1359 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1360 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1361 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1362 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1365 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1366 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1367 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1368 shared signature algorithms.
1371 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1372 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1376 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1377 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1378 it couldn't be removed.
1381 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1382 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1385 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1386 functions. Add manual page.
1387 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1389 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1390 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1394 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1395 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1397 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1398 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1399 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1400 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1404 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1405 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1408 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1409 platform support for Linux and Android.
1412 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1415 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1416 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1417 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1418 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1419 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1422 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1423 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1424 the new parameter format automatically.
1427 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1428 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1431 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1434 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1435 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1436 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1437 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1438 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1441 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1442 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1443 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1444 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1445 to set list of supported curves.
1448 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1449 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1450 to print out received values.
1453 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1454 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1455 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1458 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1459 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1462 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1463 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1466 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1470 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1472 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1473 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1474 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1476 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1478 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1479 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1481 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1483 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1484 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1485 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1486 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1490 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1491 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1492 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1493 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1494 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1495 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1499 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1500 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1501 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1502 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1506 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1509 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1510 reporting this issue.
1514 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1515 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1516 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1517 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1518 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1519 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1523 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1524 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1525 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1526 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1527 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1528 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1529 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1534 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1535 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1537 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1538 and can vary with the CTX.
1541 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1543 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1544 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1545 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1546 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1547 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1549 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1551 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1552 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1554 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1556 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1557 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1558 errors for some broken certificates.
1560 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1562 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1564 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1565 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1567 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1568 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1569 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1570 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1572 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1573 of the OpenSSL core team.
1578 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1579 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1580 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1581 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1582 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1583 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1584 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1585 the OpenSSL core team.
1589 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1590 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1591 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1592 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1593 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1595 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1596 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1597 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1600 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1601 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1602 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1603 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1604 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1606 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1607 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1608 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1611 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1613 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1615 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1616 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1617 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1618 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1619 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1620 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1621 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1623 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1627 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1629 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1630 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1631 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1632 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1633 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1638 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1640 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1641 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1642 configured to send them.
1644 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1646 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1647 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1648 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1650 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1652 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1654 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1655 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1656 DigestInfo structures.
1658 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1662 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1664 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1665 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1666 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1668 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1669 Group for discovering this issue.
1673 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1674 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1675 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1676 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1677 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1679 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1680 researching this issue.
1684 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1685 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1686 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1687 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1689 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1694 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1695 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1696 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1700 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1701 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1702 Denial of Service attack.
1703 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1707 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1708 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1709 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1710 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1715 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1716 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1717 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1719 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1724 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1725 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1726 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1727 Denial of Service attack.
1729 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1730 discovering and researching this issue.
1734 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1735 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1736 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1737 output to the attacker.
1739 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1741 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1743 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1744 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1745 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1748 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1750 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1751 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1752 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1754 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1755 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1756 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1758 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1759 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1762 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1764 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1766 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1767 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1768 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1769 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1771 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1772 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1774 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1775 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1777 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1778 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1779 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1781 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1783 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1785 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1786 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
1787 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1789 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1790 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1792 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1794 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1795 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1798 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1799 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1800 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1801 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1803 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1804 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1805 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1806 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1808 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1809 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1810 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1812 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1814 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1815 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1816 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1817 is at least 512 bytes long.
1819 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1821 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1823 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1824 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1825 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1828 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1829 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1830 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1833 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1834 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1835 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1836 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1837 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1838 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1839 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1841 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1843 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1844 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1845 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1847 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1849 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1851 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1852 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1853 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1855 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1856 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1857 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1858 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1860 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1862 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1863 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1864 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1865 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1866 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1870 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1871 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1874 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1875 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1877 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1878 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1879 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1880 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1881 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1883 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1886 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1890 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1892 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1893 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1895 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1896 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1900 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1901 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1904 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1908 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1910 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1911 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1912 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1913 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1914 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1915 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1916 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1917 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1918 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1919 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1922 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1923 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1924 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1925 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1926 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1927 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1931 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1933 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1934 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1935 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1937 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1938 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1940 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1942 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1945 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1946 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1948 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1949 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1950 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1951 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1952 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1953 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1954 Most broken servers should now work.
1955 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1956 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1959 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1962 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1964 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1965 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1968 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1969 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1970 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1971 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1972 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1975 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1976 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1977 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
1978 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1979 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1982 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1983 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1985 *) Add support for SCTP.
1986 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1988 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1989 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1991 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1993 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1994 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1995 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1996 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1997 - s390x: z196 support;
1998 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2002 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2003 (removal of unnecessary code)
2004 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2006 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2009 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2012 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2013 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2014 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2016 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2018 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2019 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2020 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2021 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2022 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2024 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2025 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2026 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2028 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2029 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2030 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2032 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2033 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2035 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2037 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2038 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2039 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2042 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2043 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2047 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2048 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2049 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2052 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2053 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2054 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2055 the appropriate parameters.
2058 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2059 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2060 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2061 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2062 against a number of sample certificates.
2065 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2066 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2068 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2069 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2071 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2072 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2076 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2080 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2081 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2082 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2083 password based CMS).
2086 *) Session-handling fixes:
2087 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2088 but also support Session Tickets.
2089 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2090 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2091 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2092 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2093 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2094 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2096 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2099 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2101 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2104 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2105 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2106 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2107 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2108 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2111 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2112 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2115 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2116 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2117 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2120 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2121 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2122 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2123 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2126 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2127 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2128 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2131 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2132 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2134 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2137 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2138 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2141 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2144 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2145 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2148 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2149 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2152 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2155 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2156 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2157 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2160 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2163 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2166 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2167 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2170 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2171 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2172 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2175 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2178 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2182 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2183 FIPS modules versions.
2186 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2187 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2188 until after the certificate request message is received.
2191 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2192 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2193 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2194 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2197 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2198 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2199 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2200 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2203 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2204 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2205 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2206 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2207 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2208 and version checking.
2211 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2212 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2213 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2214 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2218 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2220 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2223 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2224 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2225 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2227 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2228 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2229 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2232 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2233 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2235 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2236 a few changes are required:
2238 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2239 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2240 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2241 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2242 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2245 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2247 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2248 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2249 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2250 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2251 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2252 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2253 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2254 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2255 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2258 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2259 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2260 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2263 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2265 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2266 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2267 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2268 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2271 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2273 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2274 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2275 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2276 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2277 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2278 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2279 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2280 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2281 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2282 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2283 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2284 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2285 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2287 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2289 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2291 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2292 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2293 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2294 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2296 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2297 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2299 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2300 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2301 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2302 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2304 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2305 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2307 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2308 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2310 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2311 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2313 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2314 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2315 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2317 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2318 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2319 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2321 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2322 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2323 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2324 the last update always remained unused).
2325 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2327 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2328 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2330 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2332 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2333 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2334 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2336 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2337 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2338 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2340 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2343 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2344 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2345 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2348 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2349 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2351 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2353 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2355 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2357 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2358 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2360 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2361 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2365 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2367 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2368 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2369 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2372 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2373 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2374 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2377 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2379 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2380 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2381 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2384 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2388 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2390 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2392 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2394 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2396 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2397 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2398 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2401 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2404 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2405 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2406 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2408 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2409 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2410 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2413 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2414 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2417 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2418 some responders need this.
2421 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2423 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2425 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2426 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2427 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2430 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2433 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2434 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2435 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2436 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2437 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2438 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2439 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2440 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2443 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2444 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2445 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2446 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2448 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2449 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2451 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2455 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2456 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2457 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2458 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2459 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2460 attempting to work them out.
2463 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2464 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2465 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2466 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2469 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2470 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2471 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2472 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2473 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2476 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2477 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2484 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2486 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2490 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2491 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2493 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2494 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2496 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2497 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2498 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2499 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2500 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2503 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2504 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2505 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2508 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2509 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2512 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2513 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2515 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2516 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2519 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2522 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2523 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2524 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2528 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2529 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2530 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2531 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2532 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2533 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2536 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2537 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2539 This work was sponsored by Google.
2542 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2543 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2544 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2545 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2546 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2547 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2548 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2551 This work was sponsored by Google.
2554 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2556 This work was sponsored by Google.
2559 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2560 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2561 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2562 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2564 This work was sponsored by Google.
2567 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2568 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2569 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2570 CRL functionality in future.

2575 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2577 This work was sponsored by Google.
2580 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2581 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2583 This work was sponsored by Google.
2586 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2587 and URI types are currently supported.
2589 This work was sponsored by Google.
2592 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2593 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2594 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2595 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2596 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2597 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2598 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2599 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2601 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2602 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2603 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2605 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2606 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2607 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2608 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2610 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2611 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2612 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2613 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2614 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2615 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2616 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2617 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2619 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2621 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2622 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2623 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2625 This work was sponsored by Google.
2628 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2631 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2632 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2633 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2636 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2637 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2640 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2641 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2644 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2645 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2646 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2647 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2648 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2649 content types and variants.
2652 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2655 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2656 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2657 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2658 files from the associated perl scripts.
2661 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2662 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2663 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2665 *) s390x assembler pack.
2668 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2672 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2673 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2674 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2675 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2676 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2677 to use. For example, specify an option
2679 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2681 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2682 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2683 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2684 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2685 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2686 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2688 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2689 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2690 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2691 return non-zero for success.
2693 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2696 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2697 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2701 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2704 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2705 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2706 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2707 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2708 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2709 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2710 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2711 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2712 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2714 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2715 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2716 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2717 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2718 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2719 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2721 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2722 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2723 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2724 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2725 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2726 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2730 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2733 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2735 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2736 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2737 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2740 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2741 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2744 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2745 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2746 with no application modification.
2748 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2749 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2751 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2752 or server extensions to be examined.
2754 This work was sponsored by Google.
2757 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2758 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2759 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2761 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2762 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2763 ciphersuite support.
2764 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2766 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2767 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2768 to output in BER and PEM format.
2771 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2772 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2773 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2774 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2775 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2778 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2779 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2780 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2784 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2785 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2786 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2787 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2788 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2789 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2790 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2791 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2794 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2795 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2796 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2797 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2799 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2800 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2801 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2805 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2806 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2807 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2808 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2809 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2810 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2811 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2812 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2813 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2815 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2816 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2817 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2818 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2819 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2820 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2821 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2822 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2823 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2824 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2825 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2828 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2829 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2830 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2832 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2833 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2837 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2838 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2839 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2842 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2843 it yet and it is largely untested.
2846 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2849 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2850 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2851 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2854 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2857 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2858 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2859 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2860 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2863 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2864 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2865 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2866 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2867 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2870 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2871 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2874 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2875 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2876 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2877 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2880 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2881 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2882 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2883 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2886 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2887 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2890 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2891 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2892 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2893 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2896 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2897 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2898 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2901 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2905 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2906 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2909 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2910 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2911 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2915 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2916 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2917 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2920 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2921 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2922 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2923 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2926 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2927 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2928 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2929 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2930 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2931 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2934 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2935 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2936 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2937 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2938 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2940 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2941 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2942 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2943 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2944 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2947 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2948 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2949 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2950 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2952 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2953 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2954 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2955 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2956 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2962 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2963 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2967 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2968 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2971 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2972 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2975 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2976 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2977 functional reference processing.
2980 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2981 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2985 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2986 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2987 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2990 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2991 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2992 application to support multiple signers.
2995 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2999 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3000 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3001 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3002 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3003 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3006 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3010 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3011 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3012 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3013 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3017 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3018 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3019 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3020 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3021 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3022 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3023 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3024 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3027 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3028 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3029 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3030 between digests and public key types.
3033 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3034 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3035 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3036 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3039 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3040 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3044 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3047 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3051 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3052 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3053 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3054 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3059 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3061 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3063 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3065 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3066 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3067 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3068 functionality for RSA.
3071 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3072 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3073 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3076 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3077 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3080 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3081 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3082 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3085 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3086 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3089 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3090 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3093 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3094 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3098 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3099 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3100 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3104 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3105 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3106 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3107 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3108 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3109 of public and private key structures.
3112 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3113 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3116 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3117 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3118 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3121 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3125 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3126 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3127 SSL_get_psk_identity
3128 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3130 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3132 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3133 and response verification functionality.
3134 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3136 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3137 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3138 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3139 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3140 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3141 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3142 server_name extension.
3144 New functions (subject to change):
3146 SSL_get_servername()
3147 SSL_get_servername_type()
3150 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3152 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3153 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3154 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3155 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3156 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3158 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3160 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3161 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3162 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3163 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3164 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3165 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3168 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3170 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3173 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3174 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3175 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3176 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3177 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3180 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3181 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3185 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3186 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3187 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3188 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3191 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3192 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3193 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3194 using the maximum available value.
3197 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3198 in addition to the text details.
3201 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3202 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3203 handle several customised structures at all.
3206 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3207 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3208 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3211 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3214 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3215 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3216 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3219 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3220 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3221 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3224 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3225 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3229 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3232 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3235 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3237 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3238 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3239 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3240 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3241 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3242 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3243 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3244 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3246 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3247 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3248 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3250 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3252 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3253 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3255 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3256 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3259 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3260 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3261 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3264 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3265 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3266 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3267 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3268 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3269 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3272 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3273 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3274 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3277 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3278 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3279 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3280 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3281 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3282 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3286 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3287 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3290 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3291 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3292 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3295 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3298 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3299 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3300 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3301 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3302 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3303 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3304 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3305 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3306 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3309 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3310 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3311 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3314 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3315 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3318 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3319 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3320 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3321 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3322 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3323 know what you are doing.
3324 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3326 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3327 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3328 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3329 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3330 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3331 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3335 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3336 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3337 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3339 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3341 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3342 warnings in other configurations.
3345 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3346 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3347 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3349 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3351 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3352 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3353 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3355 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3356 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3357 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3358 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3361 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3365 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3366 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3368 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3370 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3371 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3372 other than a simple chain.
3373 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3375 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3376 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3377 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3378 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3381 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3382 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3383 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3384 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3385 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3386 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3387 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3388 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3389 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3391 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3392 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3393 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3394 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3395 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3396 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3398 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3400 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3401 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3404 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3405 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3408 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3410 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3412 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3413 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3414 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3415 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3416 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3420 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3422 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3423 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3424 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3425 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3427 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3428 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3429 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3430 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3432 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3433 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3434 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3437 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3438 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3442 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3443 to handle some structures.
3446 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3448 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3450 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3453 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3456 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3459 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3460 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3464 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3466 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3468 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3470 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3473 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3474 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3475 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3476 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3478 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3479 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3481 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3482 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3485 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3486 s_client and s_server.
3489 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3490 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3492 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3493 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3495 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3496 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3497 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3498 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3499 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3502 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3504 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3505 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3508 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3509 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3512 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3513 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3514 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3515 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3517 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3518 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3520 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3522 *) Various precautionary measures:
3524 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3526 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3527 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3528 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3530 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3531 outside the expected range.
3533 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3536 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3538 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3539 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3540 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3542 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3545 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3548 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3550 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3553 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3554 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3555 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3557 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3560 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3561 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3562 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3566 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3568 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3569 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3570 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3571 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3573 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3574 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3577 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3579 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3580 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3581 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3583 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3585 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3586 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3587 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3588 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3591 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3592 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3593 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3594 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3595 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3596 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3597 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3599 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3601 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3602 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3603 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3604 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3605 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3607 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3608 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3610 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3611 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3612 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3613 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3614 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3616 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3618 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3619 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3620 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3621 sets may exist with different names.
3624 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3625 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3626 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3627 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3628 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3629 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3630 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3631 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3632 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3634 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3636 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3637 implemention in the following ways:
3639 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3642 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3643 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3644 ignored for embedded content.
3646 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3647 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3650 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3651 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3652 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3653 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3655 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3656 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3659 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3660 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3663 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3664 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3665 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3666 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3667 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3668 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3672 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3673 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3674 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3678 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3679 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3680 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3681 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3682 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3683 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3684 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3685 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3687 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3688 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3689 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3690 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3691 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3692 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3693 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3695 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3696 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3697 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3698 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3699 to s_client and s_server.
3702 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3704 *) Fix various bugs:
3705 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3706 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3707 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3708 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3709 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3711 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3713 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3714 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3715 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3716 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3717 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3718 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3719 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3720 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3723 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3724 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3725 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3728 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3729 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3730 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3733 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3734 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3737 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3738 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3739 with no application modification.
3741 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3742 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3744 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3745 or server extensions to be examined.
3747 This work was sponsored by Google.
3750 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3751 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3752 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3753 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3754 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3755 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3756 server_name extension.
3758 New functions (subject to change):
3760 SSL_get_servername()
3761 SSL_get_servername_type()
3764 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3766 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3767 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3768 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3769 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3770 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3772 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3774 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3775 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3776 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3777 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3778 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3779 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3782 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3784 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3787 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3790 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3791 (which previously caused an internal error).
3794 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3797 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3798 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3800 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3801 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3802 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3804 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3805 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3806 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3807 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3809 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3810 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3811 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3812 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3814 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3815 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3816 information. For detailed background information, see
3817 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3818 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3819 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3820 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3821 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3822 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3823 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3824 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3825 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3826 remove a conditional branch.
3828 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3829 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3830 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3831 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3832 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3833 remains as a deprecated alias.
3835 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3836 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3837 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3838 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3840 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3841 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3842 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3843 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3844 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3845 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3846 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3847 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3849 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3851 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3852 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3853 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3854 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3855 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3856 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3857 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3858 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3859 in a different context.
3862 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3863 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3864 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3867 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3868 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3869 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3871 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3873 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3874 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3875 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3876 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3877 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3880 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3881 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3882 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3883 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3884 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3885 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3888 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3889 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3890 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3891 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3892 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3895 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3896 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3898 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3899 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3900 Improve header file function name parsing.
3903 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3904 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3907 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3909 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3910 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3911 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3913 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3914 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3916 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3917 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3919 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3920 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3921 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3923 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3924 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3925 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3926 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3927 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3928 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3929 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3930 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3931 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3933 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3934 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3935 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3936 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3937 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3939 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3940 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3941 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3942 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3943 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3944 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3945 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3946 multiple values to extend the available space.
3950 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3952 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3953 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3955 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3958 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3959 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3960 undesirable limitations.
3961 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3963 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3964 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3965 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3966 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3967 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3968 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3969 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3972 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3974 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3975 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3976 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3978 The latter two were purportedly from
3979 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3982 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3983 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3984 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3987 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
3988 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3991 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3992 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3993 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3994 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3996 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3997 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3998 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4001 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4002 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4003 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4004 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4005 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4006 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4009 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4011 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4012 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4015 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4016 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4018 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4019 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4020 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4021 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4024 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4025 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4028 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4029 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4030 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4031 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4032 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4033 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4034 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4038 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4039 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4040 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4041 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4044 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4045 under VC++ build system.
4048 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4049 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4052 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4054 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4055 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4056 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4057 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4058 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4060 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4061 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4062 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4064 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4067 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4068 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4071 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4072 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4074 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4077 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4078 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4080 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4081 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4084 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4085 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4089 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4091 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4094 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4097 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4098 key into the same file any more.
4101 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4104 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4105 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4107 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4108 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4111 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4112 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4113 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4114 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4115 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4116 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4118 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4119 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4120 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4123 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4124 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4125 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4126 - add new function for parameter creation
4127 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4128 BN_BLINDING parameters
4129 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4130 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4131 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4135 *) Add support for DTLS.
4136 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4138 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4139 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4142 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4143 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4146 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4147 the apps/openssl applications.
4150 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4151 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4152 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4155 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4156 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4158 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4159 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4161 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4162 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4163 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4164 avoid this algorithm.)
4168 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4169 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4170 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4173 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4174 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4177 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4178 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4179 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4182 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4184 The blank line is mandatory.
4188 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4189 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4193 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4194 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4196 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4197 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4198 to support policy checking and print out.
4201 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4202 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4203 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4204 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4206 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4209 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4210 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4212 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4213 implementation contributed by IBM.
4214 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4216 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4217 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4218 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4219 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4221 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4222 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4224 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4225 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4226 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4227 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4228 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4229 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4232 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4233 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4234 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4235 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4236 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4237 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4238 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4241 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4244 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4245 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4246 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4247 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4248 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4249 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4250 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4251 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4254 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4255 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4256 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4257 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4260 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4263 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4266 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4267 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4268 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4269 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4270 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4271 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4272 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4275 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4276 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4279 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4280 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4281 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4284 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4285 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4286 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4290 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4291 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4294 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4295 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4296 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4297 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4300 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
