5 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
8 a few changes are required:
10 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
12 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
13 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
14 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
17 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [xx XXX xxxx]
21 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
23 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
25 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
27 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
29 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
30 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
31 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
34 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
37 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
38 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
39 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
41 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
42 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
43 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
46 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
47 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
50 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
51 some responders need this.
54 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
56 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
58 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
59 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
60 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
63 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
66 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
67 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
68 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
69 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
70 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
71 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
72 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
73 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
76 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
77 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
78 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
79 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
81 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
82 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
84 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
88 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
89 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
90 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
91 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
92 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
93 attempting to work them out.
96 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
97 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
98 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
99 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
102 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
103 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
104 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
105 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
106 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
109 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
110 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
117 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
119 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
123 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
124 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
126 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
127 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
129 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
130 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
131 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
132 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
133 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
136 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
137 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
138 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
141 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
142 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
145 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
146 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
148 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
149 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
152 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
155 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
156 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
157 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
161 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
162 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
163 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
164 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
165 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
166 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
169 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
170 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
172 This work was sponsored by Google.
175 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
176 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
177 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
178 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
179 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
180 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
181 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
184 This work was sponsored by Google.
187 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
189 This work was sponsored by Google.
192 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
193 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
194 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
195 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
197 This work was sponsored by Google.
200 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
201 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
202 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
203 CRL functionality in future.
205 This work was sponsored by Google.
208 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
210 This work was sponsored by Google.
213 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
214 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
216 This work was sponsored by Google.
219 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
220 and URI types are currently supported.
222 This work was sponsored by Google.
225 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
226 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
227 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
228 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
229 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
230 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
231 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
232 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
234 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
235 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
236 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
238 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
239 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
240 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
241 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
243 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
244 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
245 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
246 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
247 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
248 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
249 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
250 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
252 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
254 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
255 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
256 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
258 This work was sponsored by Google.
261 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
264 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
265 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
266 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
269 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
270 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
273 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
274 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
277 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
278 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
279 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
280 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
281 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
282 content types and variants.
285 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
288 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
289 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
290 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
291 files from the associated perl scripts.
294 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
295 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
296 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
298 *) s390x assembler pack.
301 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
305 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
306 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
307 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
308 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
309 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
310 to use. For example, specify an option
312 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
314 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
315 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
316 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
317 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
318 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
319 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
321 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
322 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
323 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
324 return non-zero for success.
326 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
329 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
330 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
334 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
337 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
338 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
339 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
340 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
341 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
342 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
343 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
344 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
345 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
347 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
348 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
349 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
350 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
351 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
352 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
354 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
355 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
356 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
357 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
358 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
359 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
363 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
366 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
368 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
369 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
370 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
373 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
374 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
377 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
378 protection in servers so again support should be possible
379 with no application modification.
381 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
382 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
384 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
385 or server extensions to be examined.
387 This work was sponsored by Google.
390 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
391 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
392 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
394 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
395 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
397 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
399 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
400 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
401 to output in BER and PEM format.
404 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
405 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
406 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
407 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
408 -macopt options to dgst utility.
411 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
412 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
413 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
417 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
418 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
419 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
420 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
421 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
422 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
423 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
424 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
427 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
428 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
429 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
430 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
432 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
433 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
434 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
438 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
439 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
440 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
441 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
442 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
443 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
444 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
445 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
446 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
448 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
449 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
450 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
451 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
452 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
453 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
454 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
455 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
456 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
457 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
458 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
461 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
462 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
463 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
465 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
466 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
470 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
471 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
472 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
475 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
476 it yet and it is largely untested.
479 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
482 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
483 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
484 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
487 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
490 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
491 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
492 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
493 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
496 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
497 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
498 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
499 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
500 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
503 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
504 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
507 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
508 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
509 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
510 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
513 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
514 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
515 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
516 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
519 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
520 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
523 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
524 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
525 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
526 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
529 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
530 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
531 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
534 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
538 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
539 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
542 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
543 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
544 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
548 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
549 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
550 to free up any added signature OIDs.
553 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
554 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
555 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
556 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
559 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
560 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
561 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
562 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
563 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
564 the array representation useful in a more general context.
567 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
568 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
569 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
570 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
571 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
573 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
574 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
575 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
576 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
577 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
580 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
581 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
582 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
583 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
585 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
586 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
587 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
588 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
589 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
595 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
596 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
600 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
601 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
604 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
605 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
608 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
609 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
610 functional reference processing.
613 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
614 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
618 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
619 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
620 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
623 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
624 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
625 application to support multiple signers.
628 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
632 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
633 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
634 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
635 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
636 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
639 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
643 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
644 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
645 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
646 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
650 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
651 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
652 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
653 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
654 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
655 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
656 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
657 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
660 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
661 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
662 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
663 between digests and public key types.
666 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
667 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
668 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
669 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
672 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
673 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
677 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
680 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
684 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
685 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
686 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
687 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
692 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
694 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
696 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
698 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
699 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
700 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
701 functionality for RSA.
704 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
705 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
706 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
709 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
710 key API, doesn't do much yet.
713 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
714 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
715 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
718 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
719 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
722 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
723 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
726 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
727 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
731 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
732 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
733 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
737 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
738 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
739 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
740 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
741 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
742 of public and private key structures.
745 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
746 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
749 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
750 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
751 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
754 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
758 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
759 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
761 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
763 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
765 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
766 and response verification functionality.
767 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
769 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
770 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
771 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
772 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
773 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
774 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
775 server_name extension.
777 New functions (subject to change):
780 SSL_get_servername_type()
783 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
785 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
786 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
787 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
788 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
789 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
791 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
793 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
794 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
795 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
796 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
797 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
798 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
801 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
803 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
806 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
807 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
808 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
809 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
810 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
813 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
814 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
818 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
819 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
820 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
821 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
824 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
825 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
826 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
827 using the maximum available value.
830 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
831 in addition to the text details.
834 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
835 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
836 handle several customised structures at all.
839 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
840 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
841 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
844 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
847 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
848 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
849 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
852 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
853 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
854 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
857 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
858 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
862 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
865 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
868 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [xx XXX xxxx]
870 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
871 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
872 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
874 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
875 common in certificates and some applications which only call
876 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
879 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
881 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
882 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
883 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
884 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
885 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
886 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
887 protection is active. (CVE-2010-####)
888 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley]
890 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
891 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
892 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
894 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
896 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
897 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
899 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
900 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
903 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
904 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
905 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
908 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
909 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
910 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
911 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
912 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
913 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
916 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
917 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
918 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
921 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
922 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
923 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
924 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
925 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
926 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
930 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
931 change when encrypting or decrypting.
934 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
935 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
936 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
939 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
942 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
943 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
944 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
945 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
946 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
947 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
948 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
949 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
950 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
953 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
954 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
955 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
958 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
959 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
962 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
963 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
964 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
965 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
966 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
967 know what you are doing.
968 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
970 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
971 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
972 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
973 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
974 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
975 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
979 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
980 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
981 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
983 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
985 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
986 warnings in other configurations.
989 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
990 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
991 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
993 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
995 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
996 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
997 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
999 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1000 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1001 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1002 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1005 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1009 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1010 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1012 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1014 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1015 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1016 other than a simple chain.
1017 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1019 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1020 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1021 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1022 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1025 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1026 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1027 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1028 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1029 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1030 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1031 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1032 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1033 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1035 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1036 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1037 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1038 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1039 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1040 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1042 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1044 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1045 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1048 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1049 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1052 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1054 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1056 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1057 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1058 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1059 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1060 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1064 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1066 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1067 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1068 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1069 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1071 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1072 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1073 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1074 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1076 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1077 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1078 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1081 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1082 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1086 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1087 to handle some structures.
1090 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1092 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1094 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1097 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1100 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1103 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1104 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1108 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1110 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1112 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1114 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1117 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1118 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1119 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1120 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1122 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1123 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1125 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1126 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1129 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1130 s_client and s_server.
1133 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1134 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1136 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1137 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1139 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1140 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1141 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1142 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1143 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1146 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1148 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1149 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1152 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1153 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1156 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1157 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1158 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1159 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1161 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1162 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1164 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1166 *) Various precautionary measures:
1168 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1170 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1171 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1172 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1174 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1175 outside the expected range.
1177 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1180 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1182 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1183 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1184 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1186 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1189 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1192 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1194 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1197 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1198 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1199 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1201 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1204 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1205 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1206 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1210 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1212 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1213 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1214 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1215 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1217 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1218 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1221 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1223 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1224 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1225 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1227 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1229 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1230 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1231 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1232 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1235 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1236 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1237 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1238 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1239 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1240 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1241 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1243 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1245 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1246 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1247 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1248 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1249 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1251 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1252 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1254 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1255 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1256 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1257 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1258 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1260 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1262 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1263 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1264 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1265 sets may exist with different names.
1268 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1269 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1270 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1271 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1272 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1273 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1274 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1275 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1276 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1278 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1280 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1281 implemention in the following ways:
1283 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1286 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1287 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1288 ignored for embedded content.
1290 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1291 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1294 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1295 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1296 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1297 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1299 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1300 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1303 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1304 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1307 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1308 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1309 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1310 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1311 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1312 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1316 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1317 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1318 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1322 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets

1324 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1325 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1326 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1327 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,

1337 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1339 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1340 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1341 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1342 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1343 to s_client and s_server.
1346 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1348 *) Fix various bugs:
1349 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1350 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1351 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1352 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1353 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1355 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1357 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1358 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1359 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1360 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1361 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1362 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1363 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1364 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1367 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1368 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1369 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1372 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1373 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1374 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1377 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1378 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1381 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1382 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1383 with no application modification.
1385 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1386 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1388 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1389 or server extensions to be examined.
1391 This work was sponsored by Google.
1394 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1395 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1396 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1397 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1398 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1399 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1400 server_name extension.
1402 New functions (subject to change):
1404 SSL_get_servername()
1405 SSL_get_servername_type()
1408 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1410 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1411 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1412 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1413 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1414 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1416 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1418 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1419 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1420 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1421 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1422 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1423 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1426 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1428 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1431 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1434 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1435 (which previously caused an internal error).
1438 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1441 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1442 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1444 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1445 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1446 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1448 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1449 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1450 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1451 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1453 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1454 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1455 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1456 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1458 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1459 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1460 information. For detailed background information, see
1461 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1462 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1463 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1464 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1465 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1466 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1467 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1468 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1469 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1470 remove a conditional branch.
1472 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1473 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1474 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1475 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1476 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1477 remains as a deprecated alias.
1479 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1480 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1481 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1482 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1484 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1485 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1486 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1487 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1488 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1489 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1490 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1491 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1493 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1495 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1496 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1497 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1498 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1499 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1500 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1501 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1502 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1503 in a different context.
1506 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1507 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1508 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1511 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1512 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1513 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1515 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1517 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1518 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1519 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1520 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1521 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1524 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1525 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1526 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1527 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1528 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1529 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1532 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1533 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1534 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1535 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1536 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1539 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1540 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1542 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1543 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1544 Improve header file function name parsing.
1547 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1548 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1551 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1553 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1554 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1555 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1557 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1558 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1560 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1561 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1563 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1564 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1565 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1567 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1568 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1569 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1570 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1571 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1572 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1573 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1574 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1575 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1577 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1578 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1579 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1580 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1581 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1583 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1584 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1585 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1586 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1587 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1588 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1589 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1590 multiple values to extend the available space.
1594 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1596 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1597 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1599 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1602 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1603 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1604 undesirable limitations.
1605 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1607 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1608 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1609 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1610 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1611 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1612 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1613 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1616 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1618 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1619 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1620 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1622 The latter two were purportedly from
1623 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1626 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1627 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1628 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1631 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1632 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1635 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1636 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1637 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1638 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1640 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1641 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1642 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1645 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1646 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1647 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1648 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1649 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1650 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1653 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1655 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1656 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1659 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1660 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1662 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1663 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1664 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1665 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1668 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1669 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1672 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1673 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1674 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1675 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1676 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1677 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1678 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1682 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1683 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1684 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1685 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1688 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1689 under VC++ build system.
1692 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1693 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1696 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1698 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1699 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1700 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1701 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1702 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1704 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1705 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1706 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1708 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1711 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1712 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1715 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1716 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1718 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1721 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1722 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1724 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1725 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1728 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1729 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1733 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1735 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1738 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1741 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1742 key into the same file any more.
1745 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1748 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1749 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1751 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1752 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1755 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1756 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1757 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1758 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1759 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1760 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1762 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1763 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1764 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1767 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1768 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1769 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1770 - add new function for parameter creation
1771 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1772 BN_BLINDING parameters
1773 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1774 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1775 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1779 *) Add support for DTLS.
1780 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1782 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1783 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1786 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1787 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1790 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1791 the apps/openssl applications.
1794 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1795 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1796 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1799 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1800 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1802 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1803 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1805 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1806 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1807 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1808 avoid this algorithm.)
1812 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1813 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1814 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1817 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1818 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1821 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1822 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1823 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1826 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1828 The blank line is mandatory.
1832 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1833 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1837 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1838 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1840 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1841 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1842 to support policy checking and print out.
1845 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1846 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1847 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1848 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1850 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1853 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1854 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1856 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1857 implementation contributed by IBM.
1858 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1860 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1861 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1862 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1863 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1865 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1866 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1868 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1869 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1870 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1871 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1872 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1873 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1876 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1877 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1878 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1879 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1880 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1881 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1882 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1885 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1888 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1889 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1890 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1891 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1892 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1893 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1894 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1895 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1898 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1899 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1900 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1901 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1904 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1907 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1910 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1911 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1912 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1913 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1914 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1915 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1916 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1919 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1920 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1923 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1924 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1925 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1928 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1929 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1930 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1934 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1935 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1938 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1939 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1940 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1941 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1944 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1945 initialised value as BN_new().
1946 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1948 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1951 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1952 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1953 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1954 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1955 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1956 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1957 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1958 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1959 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1960 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1961 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1962 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1963 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1964 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1965 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1967 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1968 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1969 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1970 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1973 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1974 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1975 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1976 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1977 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1978 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1979 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1980 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1981 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1984 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1985 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1986 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1987 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1988 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1989 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1990 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1993 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1994 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1995 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1996 these have been updated also.
1999 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2000 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2001 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2002 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2003 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2007 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2008 structure of type "other".
2011 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2012 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2013 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2014 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2015 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2016 situation in the script.
2017 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2019 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2020 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2021 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2022 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2023 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2024 used as premaster secret.
2025 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2027 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2028 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2029 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2031 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2032 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2034 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2035 control of the error stack.
2038 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2041 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2042 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2043 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2044 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2047 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2048 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2049 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2052 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2053 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2054 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2058 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2059 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2060 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2061 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2064 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2065 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2066 the following flags are defined:
2068 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2069 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2070 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2073 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2074 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2075 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2076 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2080 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2081 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2082 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2083 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2084 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2087 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2088 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2089 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2092 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2093 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2094 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2095 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2096 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2097 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2100 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2104 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2107 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2110 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2113 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2114 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2115 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2116 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2117 default implementation more easily.
2120 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2124 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2125 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2128 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2129 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2130 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2131 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2133 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2134 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2135 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2136 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2139 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2140 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2144 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2145 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2146 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2147 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2148 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2149 scalar * generator).
2150 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2152 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2153 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2154 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2158 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2159 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2160 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2161 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2162 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2163 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2164 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2165 linker additions, eg;
2166 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2169 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2170 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2171 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2174 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2175 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2176 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2180 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2181 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2182 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2183 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2186 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2187 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2188 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2189 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2190 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2191 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2192 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2193 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2194 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2195 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2197 Example for using the new callback interface:
2199 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2203 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2205 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2206 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2207 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2208 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2209 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2210 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2215 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2216 available to TLS with the number defined in
2217 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2220 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2221 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2223 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2224 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2225 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2226 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2228 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2229 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2231 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2232 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2236 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2237 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2240 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2241 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2242 and a macro that behave like
2243 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2245 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2248 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2249 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2250 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2252 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2254 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2257 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2258 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2259 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2260 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2262 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2263 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2264 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2265 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2266 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2267 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2268 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2269 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2271 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2272 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2275 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2276 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2278 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2279 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2280 files while avoiding the low level API.
2282 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2283 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2284 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2285 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2287 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2288 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2289 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2290 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2291 instead of the low level API.
2294 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2295 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2296 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2297 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2298 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2301 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2302 down to the template encoder.
2305 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2306 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2309 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2310 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2311 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2312 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2314 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2315 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2317 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2318 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2320 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2321 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2324 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2325 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2326 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2329 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2330 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2332 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2333 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2335 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2336 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2339 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2343 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2344 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2345 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2346 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2347 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2348 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2350 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2351 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2354 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2355 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2356 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2357 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2358 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2359 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2360 various internal method names.)
2362 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2363 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2365 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2366 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2368 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2369 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2371 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2372 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2373 methods are undefined.
2375 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2376 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2378 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2379 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2380 length of the modulus.
2382 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2383 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2385 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2386 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2388 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2389 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2391 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2392 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2393 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2396 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2397 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2398 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2399 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2401 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2402 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2403 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2404 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2406 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2407 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2409 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2410 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2411 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2412 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2413 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2415 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2416 This applies to the following functions:
2421 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2422 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2424 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2425 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2429 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2434 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2436 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2437 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2438 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2439 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2440 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2442 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2443 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2445 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2446 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2447 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2449 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2450 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2452 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2453 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2454 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2455 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2456 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2458 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2460 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2461 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2462 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2463 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2464 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2465 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2466 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2467 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2468 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2469 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2470 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2471 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2473 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2476 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2477 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2478 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2479 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2481 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2482 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2483 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2484 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2489 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2490 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2491 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2492 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2493 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2495 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2496 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2497 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2498 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2499 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2500 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2501 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2502 adding different types of curves.
2503 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2505 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2506 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2507 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2510 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2511 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2513 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2514 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2515 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2516 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2518 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2520 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2521 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2523 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2524 library. Most notably,
2525 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2526 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2527 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2528 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2529 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2530 extracted before the specific public key;
2531 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2532 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2534 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2535 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2537 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2538 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2539 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2540 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2542 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2543 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2544 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2546 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2547 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2548 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2549 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2550 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2551 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2555 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2557 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2559 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2561 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2562 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2563 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2566 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2567 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2568 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2571 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2574 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2575 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2578 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2579 run algorithm test programs.
2582 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2585 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2586 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2587 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2588 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2589 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2592 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2593 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2596 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2598 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2599 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2600 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2602 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2603 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2605 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2606 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2608 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2609 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2610 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2612 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2613 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2614 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2615 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2616 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2617 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2618 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2621 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2623 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2624 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2626 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2627 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2628 undesirable limitations.
2629 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2631 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2633 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2634 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2635 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2637 The latter two were purportedly from
2638 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2641 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2642 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2643 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2646 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2647 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2650 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2652 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2653 module in FIPS mode.
2656 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2659 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2660 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2661 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2662 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2665 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2667 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2668 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2669 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2670 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2671 the difference induced by this change.
2674 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2676 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2677 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2678 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2679 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2680 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2682 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2683 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2684 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2686 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2687 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2690 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2691 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2692 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2693 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2697 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2698 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2699 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2700 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2701 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2703 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2704 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2705 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2706 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2707 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2708 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2710 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2712 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2713 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2714 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2715 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2716 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2719 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2723 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2724 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2725 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2728 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2729 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2730 structures constant.
2733 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2735 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2738 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2739 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2740 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2741 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2742 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2743 some needed definitions.
2746 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2749 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2750 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2751 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2752 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2755 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2757 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2758 server and client random values. Previously
2759 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2760 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2762 This change has negligible security impact because:
2764 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2767 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2770 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2771 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2774 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2777 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2779 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2782 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2783 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2784 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2786 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2789 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2790 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2793 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2794 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2795 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2797 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2800 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2801 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2802 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2806 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2807 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2808 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2809 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2811 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2812 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2813 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2814 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2818 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2820 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2821 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2822 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2823 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2824 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2827 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2830 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2831 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2833 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2834 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2835 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2836 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2837 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2838 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2839 rather than being initialized to 1.
2842 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2844 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2845 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2846 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2848 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2850 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2852 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2853 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2854 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2855 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2856 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2857 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2860 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2861 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2862 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2863 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2864 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2868 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2869 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2870 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2871 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2872 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2875 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2876 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2877 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2881 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2882 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2884 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2887 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2889 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2891 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2892 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2894 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2896 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2897 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2901 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2902 exiting on the first error in a request.
2905 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2906 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2910 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2911 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2912 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2913 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2915 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2916 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2919 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2920 blocks during encryption.
2923 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2924 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2925 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2926 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2930 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2931 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2932 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2933 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2934 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2938 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2940 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2941 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2942 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2943 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2946 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2947 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2948 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2949 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2950 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2952 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2953 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2954 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2955 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2956 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2957 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2958 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2959 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2960 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2963 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2964 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2965 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2966 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2969 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2970 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2973 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2975 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2976 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2977 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2978 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2979 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2981 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2982 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2983 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2985 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2986 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2987 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2988 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2989 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2991 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2992 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2993 used by default when no-err is given.
2996 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2997 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2999 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3000 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3001 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3002 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3003 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3005 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3006 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3007 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3008 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3010 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3012 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3014 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3016 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3017 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3018 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3019 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3023 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3024 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3026 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3027 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3030 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3031 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3032 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3033 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3036 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3037 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3038 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3039 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3040 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3041 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3042 followup to PR #377.
3045 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3046 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3049 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3050 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3051 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

3056 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3059 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3060 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3061 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3062 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3064 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3068 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3069 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3073 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3074 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3075 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3076 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3077 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3078 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3080 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3081 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3082 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3083 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3084 have to be made anyway).
3087 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3088 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3089 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3092 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3093 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3094 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3097 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3098 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3099 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3101 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3102 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3103 edit numbers of the version.
3104 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3106 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3107 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3108 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3110 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3111 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3113 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3114 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

3129 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer

3138 representations in a platform independent manner.

3192 the 0.9.6 release series:
3194 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3195 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3197 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3199 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3202 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3203 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3205 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3206 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3208 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3209 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3210 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3211 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3213 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3214 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3215 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3217 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3218 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3219 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3220 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3222 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3223 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3224 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3227 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3228 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3229 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3230 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3231 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3232 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3233 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3234 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3237 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3238 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3239 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3242 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3243 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3244 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3245 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3246 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3248 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3249 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3251 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3252 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3255 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3256 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3257 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3258 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3259 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3260 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3263 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3264 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3265 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3268 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3269 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3272 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3273 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3274 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3275 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3276 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3277 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3278 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3281 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3282 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3283 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3284 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3285 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3286 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3289 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3290 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3291 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3292 declaration has been changed from
3295 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3296 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3297 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3298 has been changed into
3299 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3301 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3302 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3303 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3305 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3306 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3308 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3309 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3310 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3311 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3312 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3313 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3314 always load it have also been added.
3317 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3318 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3319 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3321 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3323 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3324 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3325 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3327 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3328 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3329 command line option can be used to specify an
3333 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3334 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3337 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3338 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3339 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3342 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3343 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3344 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3345 to work with the new engine framework.
3346 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3348 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3349 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3350 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3351 to work with the new engine framework.
3354 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3355 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3356 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3358 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3359 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3361 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3362 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3363 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3364 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3366 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3368 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3369 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3371 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3372 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3374 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3375 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3376 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3379 *) Add new functions
3381 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3382 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3383 These are similar to
3386 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3387 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3388 still in the error queue.
3389 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3391 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3393 default_algorithms = ALL
3394 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3397 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3400 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3403 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3404 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3405 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3406 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3408 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3409 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3411 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3412 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3414 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3415 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3418 *) New functions/macros
3420 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3421 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3422 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3423 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3425 to request calling a callback function
3427 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3428 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3430 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3431 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3432 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3433 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3434 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3435 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3436 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3437 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3438 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3439 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3441 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3442 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3445 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3446 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3447 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3448 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3449 the configuration scripts.
3451 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3452 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3453 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3455 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3456 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3458 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3459 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3460 when reusing an existing buffer.
3463 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3464 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3467 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3468 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3471 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3472 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3473 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3474 has the same effect.
3475 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3477 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3478 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3479 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3480 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3481 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3482 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3485 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3486 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3487 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3488 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3490 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3491 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3492 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3493 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3495 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3496 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3499 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3500 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3501 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3502 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3503 default), and then completely removed.
3506 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3507 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3508 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3509 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3510 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3511 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3512 particular extension is supported.
3515 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3516 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3519 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3520 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3521 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3522 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3523 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3524 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3525 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3526 requires the destination to be valid.
3528 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3529 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3532 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3533 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3534 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3537 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3538 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3540 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3541 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3542 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3543 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3544 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3545 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3546 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3547 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3548 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3549 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3550 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3551 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3552 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3553 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3554 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3555 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3556 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3557 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3558 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3562 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3565 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3566 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3567 become part of libeay.num as well.
3570 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3571 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3572 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3573 false once a handshake has been completed.
3574 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3575 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3576 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3577 client has followed the request.)
3580 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3581 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3582 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3583 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3585 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3586 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3587 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3590 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3593 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3594 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3595 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3598 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3599 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3602 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3603 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3604 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3605 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3608 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3609 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3610 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3611 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3612 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3613 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3616 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3617 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3618 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3619 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3620 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3621 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3622 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3623 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3626 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3627 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3630 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3633 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3634 md_data void pointer.
3637 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3638 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3639 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3640 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3641 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3642 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3645 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3646 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3647 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3648 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3649 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3650 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3651 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3652 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3653 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3654 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3655 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3656 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3657 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3658 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3659 rather than letting it slide.
3661 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3662 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3663 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3666 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3667 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3668 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3669 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3670 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3671 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3672 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3673 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3674 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3677 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3678 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3679 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3680 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3681 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3683 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3686 *) Add EVP test program.
3689 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3692 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3693 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3694 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3695 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3696 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3699 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3700 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3701 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3702 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3703 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3704 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3705 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3707 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3708 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3709 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3714 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3715 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3716 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3717 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3718 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3722 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3723 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3724 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3725 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3728 des_key_schedule ks;
3730 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3731 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3733 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3736 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3737 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3738 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3739 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3740 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3741 functions prevents this.
3744 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3747 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3748 correct _ecb suffix.
3751 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3752 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3753 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3754 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3755 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3758 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3761 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3762 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3763 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3764 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3766 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3767 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3769 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3770 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3771 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3772 via Richard Levitte]
3774 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3775 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3776 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3777 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3780 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3783 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3784 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3798 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3799 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3801 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3802 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3803 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3804 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3805 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3806 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3809 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3810 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3813 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3814 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3815 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3816 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3818 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3819 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3820 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3821 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3822 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3823 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3827 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3828 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3829 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3830 and interrupts/cancellations.
3833 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3834 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3837 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3838 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3839 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3841 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3842 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3846 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3847 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3848 than this minimum value is recommended.
3851 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3852 that are easily reachable.
3855 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3856 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3858 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3860 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3861 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3862 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3863 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3866 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3867 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3868 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3871 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3872 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3873 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3874 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3875 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3876 internally such as S/MIME.
3878 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3879 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3880 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3882 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3886 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3887 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3888 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3889 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3891 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3893 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3895 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3896 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3897 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3901 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3902 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3903 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3904 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3905 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3906 a window system and the like.
3909 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3910 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3913 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3914 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3915 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3916 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3917 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3918 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3919 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3920 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3921 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3925 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3926 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3930 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3931 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3932 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3933 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3934 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3935 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3936 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3937 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3940 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3941 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3942 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3943 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3944 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3945 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3946 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3947 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3948 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3949 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3950 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3951 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3952 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3953 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3954 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3955 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3956 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3959 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3960 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3961 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3962 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3963 internal engine_int.h header.
3966 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3967 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3968 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3969 modify their own ones).
3972 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3973 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3974 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3975 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3976 later on via ctrl() commands.
3977 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3978 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3979 structural references.
3980 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3981 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3982 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3983 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3984 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3985 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3986 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3987 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3988 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3989 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3990 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3991 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3994 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3995 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3996 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3997 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3998 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3999 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4000 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4001 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4004 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4005 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4008 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4009 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4012 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4013 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4014 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4015 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4016 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4017 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4018 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4021 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4022 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4023 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4024 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4025 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4027 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4028 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4032 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4034 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4035 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4036 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4038 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4039 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4041 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4042 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4043 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4045 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4046 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4048 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4049 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4051 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4053 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4054 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4055 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4058 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4059 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4062 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4063 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4064 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4065 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4066 is 40 of more characters long.
4069 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4070 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4074 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4075 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4078 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4079 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4083 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4085 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4086 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4089 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4091 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4092 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4093 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4095 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4096 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4098 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4101 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4105 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4106 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4107 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4108 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4110 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4112 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4113 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4115 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4116 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4117 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4118 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4119 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4120 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4122 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4123 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4125 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4126 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4128 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4129 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4131 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4132 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4133 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4134 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4136 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4137 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4139 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4140 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4142 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4143 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4144 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4145 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4146 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4149 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4150 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4151 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4152 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4155 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4156 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4157 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4161 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4162 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4163 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4164 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4165 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4166 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4167 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4168 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4172 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4173 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4176 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4177 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4178 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4179 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4182 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4183 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4184 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4185 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4186 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4187 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4188 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4189 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4190 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4191 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4194 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4195 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4196 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4197 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4198 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4199 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4200 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4201 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4203 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4204 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4205 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4206 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4209 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4210 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4211 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4212 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4214 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4215 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4216 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4217 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4218 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4222 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4223 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4224 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4225 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4229 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4230 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4231 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4234 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4235 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4236 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4237 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4238 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4241 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4244 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4245 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4246 option to ocsp utility.
4249 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4250 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4251 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4252 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4253 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4254 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4255 the request is nonce-less.
4258 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4259 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4260 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4263 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4264 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4265 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4268 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4269 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4270 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4271 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4272 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4275 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4276 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4280 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4281 additional certificates supplied.
4284 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4285 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4289 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4290 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4293 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4294 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4295 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4296 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4297 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4298 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4299 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4300 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4301 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4303 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4304 request to response.
4307 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4308 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4309 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4310 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4311 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4312 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4313 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4314 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4315 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4316 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4317 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4320 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4321 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4322 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4323 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4326 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4327 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4329 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4330 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4331 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4334 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4335 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4336 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4337 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4338 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4340 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4341 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4342 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4345 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4346 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4347 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4348 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4349 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4350 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4351 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4352 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4354 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4355 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4356 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4357 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4358 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4359 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4362 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4363 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4364 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4365 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4366 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4367 printout format cleaned up.
4370 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4371 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4372 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4373 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4374 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4375 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4376 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4377 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4380 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4381 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4382 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4383 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4384 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4385 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4386 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4387 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4390 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4391 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4392 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4393 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4395 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4397 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4398 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4399 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4400 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4403 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4404 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4405 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4406 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4408 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4410 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4411 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4412 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4413 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4415 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4416 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4418 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4419 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4420 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4423 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4424 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4425 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4428 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4429 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4430 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4431 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4432 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4433 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4434 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4435 functions are provided:
4437 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4438 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4439 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4440 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4442 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4443 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4444 extended allocation function is enabled.
4445 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4446 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4447 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4449 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4450 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4451 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4452 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4453 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4456 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4457 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4458 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4460 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4461 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4462 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4465 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4466 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4467 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4468 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4469 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4470 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4471 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4472 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4473 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4476 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4477 provide utility functions which an application needing
4478 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4479 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4480 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4482 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4483 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4484 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4485 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4486 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4487 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4488 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4489 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4490 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4492 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4493 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4494 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4495 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4498 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4499 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4500 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4501 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4502 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4503 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4504 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4505 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4506 will be added elsewhere.
4509 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4510 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4511 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4512 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4515 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4516 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4517 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4518 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4519 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4520 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4521 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4522 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4523 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4524 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4525 to produce the required SET OF.
4528 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4529 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4530 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4533 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4534 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4535 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4536 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4537 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4538 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4541 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4542 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4543 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4546 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4547 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4548 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4551 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4552 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4553 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4554 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4555 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4558 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4559 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4562 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4563 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4564 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4565 certifcates and CRLs.
4568 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4569 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4570 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4573 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4574 entries for variables.
4577 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4578 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4579 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4580 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4583 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4584 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4585 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4586 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4587 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4588 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4591 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4592 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4594 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4595 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4596 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4599 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4603 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4604 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4605 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4606 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4607 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4608 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4611 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4614 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4615 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4616 for now but they will eventually go away.
4619 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4620 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4621 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4622 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4623 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4624 has also been converted to the new form.
4627 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4628 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4629 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4630 for negative moduli.
4633 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4634 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4637 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4641 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4642 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4643 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4644 type-specific callbacks.
4647 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4649 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4650 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4652 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4653 in sections depending on the subject.
4656 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4660 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4661 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4662 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4663 be handled deterministically).
4664 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4666 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4667 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4668 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4671 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4674 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4675 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4676 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4677 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4678 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4681 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4682 sign of the number in question.
4684 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4686 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4687 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4688 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4689 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4690 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4693 *) New function BN_swap.
4696 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4697 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4698 results on negative inputs.
4701 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4702 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4703 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4706 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4707 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4708 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4709 and add new functions:
4718 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4722 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4724 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4725 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4727 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4728 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4729 be reduced modulo m.
4730 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4733 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4734 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4735 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4737 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4738 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4739 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4740 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4741 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4742 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4747 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4748 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4749 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4750 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4751 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4753 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4754 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4755 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4759 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4762 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4763 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4766 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4767 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4768 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4769 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4773 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4776 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4779 *) Add the following functions:
4781 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4783 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4785 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4787 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4788 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4789 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4790 libraries unless it's really needed.
4792 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4793 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4794 declarations (they differed!).
4797 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4800 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4803 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4806 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4807 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4810 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4811 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4812 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4814 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4815 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4818 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4821 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4824 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4827 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4828 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4829 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4831 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4832 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4833 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4834 different shared library filenames on each system.
4837 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4840 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4841 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4842 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4844 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4847 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4848 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4849 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4850 binary backward compatibility.
4851 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4852 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4853 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4857 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4858 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4859 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4860 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4864 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4867 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4868 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4869 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4870 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4874 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4877 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4879 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4880 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4881 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4883 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4885 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4887 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4888 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4891 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4893 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4895 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4896 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4898 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4899 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4903 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4904 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4908 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4909 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4910 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4911 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4913 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4914 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4917 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4919 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4920 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4921 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4922 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4925 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4926 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4927 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4928 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4929 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4931 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4932 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4933 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4934 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4935 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4936 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4937 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4938 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4939 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4942 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4944 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4945 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4946 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4947 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4948 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4950 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4951 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4952 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4954 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4956 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4957 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4958 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4959 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4960 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4961 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4964 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4965 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4966 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4967 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4968 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4971 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4972 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4973 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4975 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4976 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4977 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4981 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4982 being properly terminated.
4985 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4986 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4987 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4988 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4990 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4991 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4992 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4993 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4994 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4995 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4996 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4998 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5000 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5001 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5004 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5005 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5006 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5007 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5008 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5009 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5010 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5011 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5013 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5014 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5015 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5016 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5017 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5019 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5020 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5023 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5025 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5026 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5027 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5029 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5031 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5032 and get fix the header length calculation.
5033 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5034 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5037 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5038 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5039 assertions could call abort()).
5040 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5042 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5044 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5045 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5046 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5048 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5050 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5051 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5052 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5055 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5059 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5060 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5061 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5063 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5064 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5065 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5066 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5067 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5071 *) Changes in security patch:
5073 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5074 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5075 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5078 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5079 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5080 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5081 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5082 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5084 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5086 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5088 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5089 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5090 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5092 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5093 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5094 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5096 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5097 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5098 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5100 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5102 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5103 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5104 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5106 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5107 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5109 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5110 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5111 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5112 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5113 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5114 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5117 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5118 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5119 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5120 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5123 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5126 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5127 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5128 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5129 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5130 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5131 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5133 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5134 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5135 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5136 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5137 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5140 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5141 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5142 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5143 BN_generate_prime().)
5145 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5146 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5147 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5151 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5152 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5155 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5156 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5157 when using non-blocking I/O.
5158 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5160 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5161 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5163 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5164 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5167 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5168 configuration for the versions before that.
5169 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5171 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5172 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5173 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5174 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5177 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5178 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5179 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5182 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5186 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5187 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5188 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5190 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5191 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5193 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5194 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5195 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5196 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5197 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5198 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5199 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5202 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5203 using a local variable.
5204 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5206 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5207 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5208 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5210 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5213 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5214 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5216 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5217 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5218 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5220 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5222 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5223 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5224 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5225 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5228 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5232 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5233 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5234 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5235 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5236 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5238 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5239 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5240 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5242 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5243 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5244 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5246 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5247 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5248 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5249 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5251 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5252 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5253 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5255 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5257 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5258 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5260 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5262 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5263 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5264 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5265 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5267 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5268 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5269 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5270 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5272 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5273 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5275 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5276 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5277 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5280 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5281 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5282 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5284 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5286 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5287 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5288 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5289 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5290 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5291 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5292 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5295 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5296 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5297 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5298 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5300 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5301 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5302 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5303 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5304 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5305 the client will at least see that alert.
5308 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5312 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5313 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5314 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5316 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5317 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5318 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5319 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5322 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5323 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5324 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5326 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5327 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5328 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5329 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5330 may leak via logfiles.)
5332 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5333 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5334 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5335 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5339 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5340 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5343 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5344 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5345 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5346 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5347 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5350 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5351 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5353 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5354 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5355 followed by modular reduction.
5356 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5358 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5359 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5362 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5363 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5364 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5365 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5368 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5371 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5372 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5375 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5376 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5377 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5378 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5379 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5380 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5382 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5384 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5385 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5386 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5387 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5388 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5390 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5393 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5394 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5395 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5396 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5397 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5398 to allow the necessary settings.
5401 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5402 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5403 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5404 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5407 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5408 dh->length and always used
5410 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5412 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5413 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5414 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5415 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5416 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5421 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5423 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5429 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5430 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5431 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5432 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5434 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5435 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5436 always reject numbers >= n.
5439 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5440 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5441 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5442 variable) is not atomic.
5445 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5446 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5447 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5448 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5450 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5451 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5453 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5455 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5457 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5460 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5462 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5463 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5464 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5465 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5466 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5467 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5468 to traverse all of 'state'.
5470 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5471 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5472 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5474 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5475 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5477 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5478 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5479 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5480 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5481 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5482 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5483 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5484 further strengthens the PRNG.
5487 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5490 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5491 an error message in this case.
5494 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5497 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5498 positive and less than q.
5501 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5502 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5504 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5506 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5507 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5511 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5513 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5514 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5515 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5516 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5517 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5518 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5519 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5522 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5523 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5524 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5525 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5527 Both problems are now fixed.
5530 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5531 (previously it was 1024).
5534 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5535 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5538 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5541 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5542 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5543 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5546 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5547 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5548 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5549 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5550 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5551 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5552 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5553 environment variables.
5555 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5556 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5557 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5560 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5561 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5562 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5563 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5564 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5565 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5568 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5572 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5574 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5575 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5577 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5578 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5579 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5580 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5584 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5585 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5586 amount of data available.
5587 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5588 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5590 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5591 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5592 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5593 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5596 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5597 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5601 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5602 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5603 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5604 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5607 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5610 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5613 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5614 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5616 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5618 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5619 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5620 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5621 (but broken) behaviour.
5624 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5626 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5628 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5629 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5632 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5636 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5637 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5639 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5642 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5643 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5644 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5646 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5647 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5648 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5651 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5652 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5655 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5656 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5658 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5660 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5662 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5663 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5664 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5665 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5668 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5671 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5672 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5673 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5675 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5678 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5680 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5681 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5682 but the code is actually correct.
5685 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5686 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5687 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5688 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5689 and leaves the highest bit random.
5690 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5692 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5693 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5694 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5695 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5696 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5697 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5698 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5701 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5704 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5705 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5708 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5709 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5710 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5711 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5715 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5716 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5717 and break the signature.
5719 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5721 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5725 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5726 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5727 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5728 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5729 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5732 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5733 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5735 *) ./config script fixes.
5736 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5738 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5741 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5742 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5743 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5744 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5745 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5747 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5748 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5751 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5752 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5755 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5756 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5757 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5758 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5760 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5761 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5763 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5764 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5765 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5766 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5767 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5769 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5772 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5775 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5778 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5781 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5782 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5785 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5786 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5787 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5788 result of the server certificate verification.)
5791 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5792 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5793 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5797 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5798 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5799 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5800 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5801 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5802 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5803 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5804 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5807 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5808 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5809 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5810 happening the other way round.
5813 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5814 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5817 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5818 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5819 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5820 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5823 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5824 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5826 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5828 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5829 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5830 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5833 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5835 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5837 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5841 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5843 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5844 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5845 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5846 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5847 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5849 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5850 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5854 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5857 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5859 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5860 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5861 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5862 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5863 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5864 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5865 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5866 by the Finished messages.
5869 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5870 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5872 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5873 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5874 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5875 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5876 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5880 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5881 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5882 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5883 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5884 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5885 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5886 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5887 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5888 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5892 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5893 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5894 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5895 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5897 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5898 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5899 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5900 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5901 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5904 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5905 been tested well enough.
5908 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5909 it can return incorrect results.
5910 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5911 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5914 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5915 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5916 include zero length content when signing messages.
5919 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5920 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5923 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5926 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5930 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5931 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5932 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5933 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5934 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5935 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5938 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5939 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5941 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5942 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5944 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5945 random number < q in the DSA library.
5948 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5949 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5950 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5951 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5952 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5953 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5954 just makes things more complicated.)
5957 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5961 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5962 work better on such systems.
5963 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5965 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5966 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5967 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5970 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5971 if there was more than one signature.
5972 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5974 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5975 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5976 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5977 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5980 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5981 rather than always using the current time.
5984 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5985 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5986 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5987 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5988 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5989 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5991 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5992 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5994 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5996 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5997 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5998 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5999 the same hash value.
6001 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6002 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6003 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6004 with X509_STORE internally.
6006 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6007 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6009 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6010 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6011 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6012 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6013 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6014 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6015 entirely (maybe later...).
6017 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6019 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6020 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6021 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6022 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6023 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6024 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6025 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6026 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6028 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6029 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6031 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6032 to customise the verify behaviour.
6035 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6036 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6039 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6040 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6041 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6042 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6043 request is improperly encoded.
6046 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6047 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6050 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6051 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6053 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6054 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6058 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6059 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6060 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6063 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6064 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6065 BIO/fp routines also added.
6068 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6069 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6071 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6072 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6073 demos/state_machine.
6076 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6077 generation and verification.
6080 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6081 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6082 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6083 encode and decode it manually.
6086 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6088 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6090 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6091 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6092 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6093 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6095 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6096 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6097 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6098 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6099 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6102 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6105 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6106 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6107 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6109 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6110 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6111 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6112 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6113 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6114 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6115 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6116 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6118 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6119 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6121 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6123 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6124 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6125 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6129 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6130 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6131 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6132 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6136 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6138 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6141 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6142 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6143 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6144 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6145 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6146 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6147 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6148 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6149 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6150 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6151 short or long names are found.
6154 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6155 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6157 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6158 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6159 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6160 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6162 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6163 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6164 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6165 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6168 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6169 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6170 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6173 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6174 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6175 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6176 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6177 to allow the various flags to be set.
6180 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6181 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6182 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6183 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6184 dates to be checked.
6187 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6188 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6189 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6192 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6193 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6194 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6197 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6198 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6201 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6202 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6203 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6204 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6205 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6206 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6209 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6210 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6214 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6218 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6219 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6220 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6221 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6222 form signing output easier to verify.
6225 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6228 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6229 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6230 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6231 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6232 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6233 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6234 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6235 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6236 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6237 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6240 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6242 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6243 the syntax given in objects.README.
6244 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6246 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6249 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6250 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6251 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6252 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6253 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6254 consistent name changes.
6257 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6260 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6261 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6262 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6263 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6266 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6267 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6268 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6272 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6273 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6274 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6275 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6278 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6279 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6280 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6281 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6282 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6283 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6284 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6285 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6286 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6287 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6288 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6291 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6292 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6293 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6294 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6295 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6296 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6297 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6298 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6299 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6300 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6303 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6304 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6305 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6306 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6308 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6309 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6310 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6311 omit any duplicate addresses.
6314 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6315 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6318 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6319 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6320 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6321 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6322 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6325 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6327 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6328 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6329 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6330 Free => OPENSSL_free
6333 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6334 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6337 *) CygWin32 support.
6338 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6340 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6341 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6342 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6343 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6344 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6348 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6349 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6350 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6351 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6352 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6353 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6354 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6357 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6358 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6359 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6360 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6361 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6362 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6363 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6364 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6365 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6366 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6367 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6370 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6371 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6372 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6373 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6374 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6376 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6377 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6378 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6379 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6380 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6382 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6385 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6386 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6387 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6388 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6390 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6392 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6395 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6396 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6397 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6400 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6401 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6402 any installed hardware versions can.
6405 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6406 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6407 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6411 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6412 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6413 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6414 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6415 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6417 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6418 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6421 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6422 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6425 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6426 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6427 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6431 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6434 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6435 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6436 but no ssl client purpose.
6437 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6439 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6440 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6441 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6442 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6443 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6444 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6445 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6446 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6447 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6448 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6449 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6452 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6453 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6454 be obtained from the error queue.
6457 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6458 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6459 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6460 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6463 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6466 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6467 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6468 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6469 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6470 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6473 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6474 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6475 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6476 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6477 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6480 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6481 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6482 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6484 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6486 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6487 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6488 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6489 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6490 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6491 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6492 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6493 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6494 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6495 or "the configuration storage API"...
6497 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6499 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6500 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6502 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6504 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6506 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6507 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6508 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6509 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6510 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6511 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6512 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6514 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6515 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6518 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6519 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6520 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6521 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6524 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6525 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6526 them in a portable way.
6527 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6529 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6531 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6533 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6534 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6536 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6537 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6538 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6541 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6542 was larger than the MD block size.
6543 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6545 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6546 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6547 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6548 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6552 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6553 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6554 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6556 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6558 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6560 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6561 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6562 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6563 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6564 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6565 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6567 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6568 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6570 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6571 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6574 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6577 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6578 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6580 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6581 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6582 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6583 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6586 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6587 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6588 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6589 does not suppress any output.
6592 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6593 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6594 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6595 with all the associated security issues.
6597 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6598 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6599 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6600 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6601 use the value in the default purpose.
6604 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6605 and fix a memory leak.
6608 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6609 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6610 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6611 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6614 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6615 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6616 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6617 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6620 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6621 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6622 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6625 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6626 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6629 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6630 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6634 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6635 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6638 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6639 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6640 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6643 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6644 number generation fails.
6647 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6650 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6651 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6653 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6656 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6657 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6659 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6660 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6662 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6664 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6665 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6668 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6669 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6671 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6672 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6675 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6676 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6677 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6678 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6679 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6680 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6682 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6683 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6684 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6688 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6689 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6690 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6691 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6692 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6693 counter, some don't.)
6694 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6695 counters or duplicate objects.
6698 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6699 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6702 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6703 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6704 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6706 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6707 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6708 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6712 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6713 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6716 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6717 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6718 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6722 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6723 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6724 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6727 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6728 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6729 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6730 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6731 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6732 should work without changes.
6735 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6736 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6737 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6738 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6739 must be defined. E.g.,
6740 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6741 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6742 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6743 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6745 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6749 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6750 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6751 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6754 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6755 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6756 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6757 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6760 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6761 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6762 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6763 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6764 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6765 is prompted for as usual.
6768 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6769 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6770 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6771 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6773 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6774 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6775 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6776 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6779 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6782 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6786 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6789 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6792 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6796 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6799 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6802 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6803 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6806 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6807 options to produce them.
6810 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6811 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6814 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6818 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6819 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6820 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6821 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6822 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6823 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6824 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6827 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6830 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6831 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6832 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6835 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6836 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6838 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6839 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6842 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6843 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6844 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6848 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6849 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6851 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6852 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6853 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6854 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6855 generation becomes much faster.
6857 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6858 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6859 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6860 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6861 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6862 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6863 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6864 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6865 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6866 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6869 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6870 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6871 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6872 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6873 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6874 trial division stage.
6877 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6881 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6884 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6887 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6888 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6889 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6893 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6894 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6895 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6898 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6899 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6900 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6901 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6903 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6904 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6907 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6910 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6911 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6912 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6913 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6916 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6917 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6918 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6921 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6922 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6923 (instead of parameters) in future.
6926 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6927 when a new cipher list is set.
6930 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6931 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6934 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6935 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6936 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6938 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6939 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6940 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6941 an error is flagged.
6943 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6944 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6945 the readability was also increased :-)
6946 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6948 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6949 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6950 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6951 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6955 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6956 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6959 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6960 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6961 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6962 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6965 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6966 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6967 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6968 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6969 because they handle more complex structures.)
6972 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6973 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6974 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6975 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6977 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6978 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6979 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6980 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6981 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6982 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6983 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6986 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6987 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6988 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6989 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6990 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6993 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6996 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6997 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6998 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6999 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7000 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7003 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7007 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7008 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7009 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7010 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7013 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7016 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7017 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7018 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7019 international characters are used.
7021 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7022 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7023 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7027 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7028 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7029 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7032 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7033 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7034 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7035 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7036 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7037 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7039 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7040 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7041 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7042 be handled by the string table functions.
7044 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7045 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7046 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7047 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7048 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7052 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7053 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7054 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7055 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7056 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7058 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7059 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7060 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7061 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7064 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7065 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7066 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7067 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7068 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7072 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7073 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7074 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7075 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7076 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7077 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7078 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7079 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7081 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7082 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7083 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7086 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7087 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7088 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7089 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7090 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7091 support to pkcs8 application.
7094 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7095 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7096 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7097 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7098 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7099 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7102 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7103 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7104 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7105 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7106 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7110 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7111 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7112 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7113 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7117 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7118 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7119 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7120 and any application specific purposes.
7122 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7123 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7124 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7125 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7126 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7127 if the certificate is self signed.
7130 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7131 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7134 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7135 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7136 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7137 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7140 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7141 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7142 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7143 Update documentation.
7146 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7147 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7148 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7149 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7150 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7153 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7155 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7157 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7158 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7159 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7160 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7161 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7162 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7163 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7164 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7165 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7166 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7168 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7170 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7171 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7172 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7173 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7174 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7176 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7177 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7178 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7179 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7180 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7181 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7182 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7183 request additional information:
7184 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7185 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7187 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7188 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7189 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7192 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7193 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7196 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7199 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7200 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7202 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7203 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7204 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7208 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7209 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7210 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7212 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7213 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7214 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7215 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7216 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7217 included in OpenSSL.
7220 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7221 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7222 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7223 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7224 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7225 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7228 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7232 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7233 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7234 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7235 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7236 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7240 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7244 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7245 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7246 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7247 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7248 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7249 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7250 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7251 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7252 be maintained manually.
7254 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7255 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7256 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7257 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7258 work because people forget to call this function]
7259 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7260 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7261 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7264 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7265 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7266 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7267 should be discouraged from doing it.
7270 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7271 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7272 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7273 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7274 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7275 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7278 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7279 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7280 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7282 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7283 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7284 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7286 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7287 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7288 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7289 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7290 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7291 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7293 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7294 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7295 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7297 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7298 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7301 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7302 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7303 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7304 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7307 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7310 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7311 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7312 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7313 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7314 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7315 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7316 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7317 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7318 keys so we should be OK.
7320 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7321 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7322 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7323 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7324 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7325 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7326 stay in the name of compatibility.
7328 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7329 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7330 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7332 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7333 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7334 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7335 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7336 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7337 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7341 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7342 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7343 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7344 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7345 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7346 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7347 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7348 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7349 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7350 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7351 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7352 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7353 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7356 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7359 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7360 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7361 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7362 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7363 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7364 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7365 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7366 openssl verify ss.pem
7367 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7368 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7372 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7373 (and add it to external session representation).
7374 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7375 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7376 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7377 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7378 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7379 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7381 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7383 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7384 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7385 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7386 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7388 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7389 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7390 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7393 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7394 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7395 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7399 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7400 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7401 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7403 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7404 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7405 certificate auxiliary information.
7408 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7412 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7413 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7414 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7415 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7416 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7417 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7418 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7421 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7422 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7425 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7426 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7427 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7428 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7431 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7434 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7435 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7438 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7439 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7440 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7441 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7442 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7443 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7444 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7445 using the new 'x509' options.
7447 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7448 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7449 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7450 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7454 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7455 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7456 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7457 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7458 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7461 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7462 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7463 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7464 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7465 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7466 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7467 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7468 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7469 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7470 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7473 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7474 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7475 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7476 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7477 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7478 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7479 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7482 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7483 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7484 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7485 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7486 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7487 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7488 openssl.cnf for more info.
7491 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7492 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7493 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7494 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7495 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7496 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7497 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7498 md should be large enough anyway.
7501 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7502 for handling the random seed file.
7504 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7506 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7509 x509 (when signing).
7510 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7511 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7512 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7514 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7515 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7516 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7517 that support '-rand'.
7520 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7521 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7524 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7525 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7528 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7529 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7530 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7531 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7535 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7536 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7537 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7538 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7541 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7542 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7543 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7544 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7545 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7546 print out all the purposes.
7549 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7553 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7554 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7555 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7556 single function call.
7559 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7560 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7563 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7564 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7565 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7568 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7569 when producing the local key id.
7570 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7572 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7573 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7574 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7578 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7579 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7580 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7581 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7584 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7585 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7586 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7587 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7589 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7590 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7591 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7592 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7594 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7595 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7596 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7597 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7598 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7599 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7600 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7601 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7602 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7603 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7604 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7605 trivial: move one line.
7606 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7608 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7609 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7610 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7611 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7612 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7613 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7614 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7615 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7616 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7617 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7618 with an event loop for example.
7621 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7622 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7623 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7624 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7625 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7626 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7627 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7628 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7629 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7632 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7633 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7634 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7635 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7636 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7637 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7640 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7641 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7642 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7643 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7645 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7646 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7647 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7648 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7652 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7653 (still largely untested)
7656 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7657 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7660 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7661 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7664 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7665 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7666 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7669 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7670 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7671 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7672 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7673 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7676 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7679 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7680 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7681 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7682 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7683 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7687 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7688 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7691 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7694 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7695 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7696 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7697 are otherwise ignored at present.
7700 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7701 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7702 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7703 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7704 copied until the next read.
7707 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7708 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7709 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7712 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7713 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7714 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7715 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7716 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7717 associated functions.
7720 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7721 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7722 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7723 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7724 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7725 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7726 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7727 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7728 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7732 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7733 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7734 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7735 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7738 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7739 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7740 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7741 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7742 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7746 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7747 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7751 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7752 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7753 extensions to be obtained and added.
7756 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7757 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7760 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7762 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7763 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7765 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7766 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7768 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7772 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7773 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7774 DH parameters contain its length).
7776 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7777 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7778 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7779 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7780 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7781 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7782 utter importance to use
7783 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7785 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7786 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7787 attacks may become possible!
7790 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7793 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7794 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7797 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7798 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7799 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7803 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7804 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7805 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7806 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7807 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7808 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7809 private key operations.
7812 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7815 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7816 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7818 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7819 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7820 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7821 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7822 the password callback is called.
7823 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7825 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7827 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7828 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7829 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7830 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7831 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7832 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7835 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7836 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7837 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7838 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7839 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7840 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7843 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7846 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7847 delete an unused file.
7850 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7851 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7852 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7853 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7856 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7857 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7858 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7862 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7863 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7864 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7866 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7867 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7868 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7869 comparison" warnings.
7870 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7873 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7874 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7875 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7878 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7879 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7881 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7882 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7884 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7885 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7886 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7888 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7889 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7890 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7891 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7892 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7894 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7896 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7897 The interface is as follows:
7898 Applications can use
7899 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7900 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7901 "off" is now the default.
7902 The library internally uses
7903 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7904 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7905 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7907 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7908 even the default) are now avoided.
7910 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7911 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7912 than just having a counter.
7914 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7916 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7920 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7921 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7922 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7923 Initial "mode" flags are:
7925 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7926 a single record has been written.
7927 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7928 retries use the same buffer location.
7929 (But all of the contents must be
7933 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7936 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7937 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7939 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7940 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7941 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7944 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7945 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7947 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7949 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7950 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7951 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7952 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7954 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7955 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7957 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7958 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7959 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7960 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7961 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7962 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7965 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7966 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7967 necessary function names.
7970 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7971 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7972 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7973 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7976 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7977 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7978 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7981 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7982 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7983 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7984 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7986 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7990 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7991 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7992 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7995 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7996 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8000 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8001 for the encoded length.
8002 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8004 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8007 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8008 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8009 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8010 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8013 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8014 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8015 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8017 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8018 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8019 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8023 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8024 to use the new extension code.
8027 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8028 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8029 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8033 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8034 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8035 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8039 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8042 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8043 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8044 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8047 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8048 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8049 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8050 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8053 *) DES library cleanups.
8056 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8057 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8058 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8059 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8060 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8064 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8065 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8068 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8069 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8070 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8071 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8072 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8073 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8074 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8075 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8076 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8079 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8080 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8081 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8082 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8083 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8084 value doesn't matter.
8087 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8091 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8092 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8093 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8094 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8096 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8099 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8100 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8101 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8103 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8104 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8106 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8109 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8112 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8115 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8119 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8121 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8123 *) Updated some demos.
8124 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8126 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8129 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8132 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8135 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8136 instead of using a fixed path.
8139 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8142 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8146 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8148 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8149 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8150 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8152 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8153 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8154 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8155 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8156 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8157 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8158 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8159 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8160 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8161 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8164 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8165 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8168 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8169 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8170 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8171 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8172 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8174 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8177 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8178 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8179 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8182 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8185 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8186 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8187 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8188 key elements as negative integers.
8191 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8192 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8195 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8197 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8198 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8199 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8202 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8203 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8204 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8205 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8206 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8209 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8212 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8213 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8214 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8215 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8217 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8218 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8219 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8221 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8222 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8223 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8224 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8225 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8226 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8227 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8228 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8229 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8231 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8232 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8233 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8234 does not influence s as it used to.
8236 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8237 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8238 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8239 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8240 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8241 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8244 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8245 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8246 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8250 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8251 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8252 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8256 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8257 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8258 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8262 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8263 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8266 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8267 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8272 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8273 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8275 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8276 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8278 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8281 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8284 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8285 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8287 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8288 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8289 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8293 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8294 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8295 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8296 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8297 now it really counts the depth.
8300 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8301 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8302 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8303 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8304 didn't match the private key).
8306 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8307 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8308 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8311 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8314 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8318 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8319 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8320 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8323 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8326 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8327 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8328 such as /usr/local/bin.
8331 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8332 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8334 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8337 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8338 extension adding in x509 utility.
8341 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8344 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8348 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8351 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8352 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8353 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8354 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8355 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8356 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8357 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8358 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8359 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8360 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8363 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8366 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8367 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8370 *) Fix some race conditions.
8373 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8374 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8377 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8380 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8381 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8382 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8383 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8385 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8386 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8388 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8389 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8390 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8392 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8393 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8395 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8398 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8399 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8401 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8404 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8405 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8407 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8408 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8411 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8412 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8415 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8416 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8419 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8420 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8423 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8424 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8427 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8428 support typesafe stack.
8431 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8432 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8434 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8435 old X509V3 handling code.
8438 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8441 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8444 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8447 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8448 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8450 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8451 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8452 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8453 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8454 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8457 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8458 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8459 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8460 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8461 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8463 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8464 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8465 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8466 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8468 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8469 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8470 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8471 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8473 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8474 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8475 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8476 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8477 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8478 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8481 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8482 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8485 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8486 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8489 *) Tweaks to Configure
8490 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8492 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8496 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8499 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8500 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8503 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8504 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8505 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8508 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8511 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8512 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8515 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8516 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8517 to library startup routines.
8520 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8521 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8522 codes along the way.
8525 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8526 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8527 objects to objects.h
8530 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8531 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8534 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8535 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8537 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8538 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8539 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8541 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8542 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8543 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8545 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8546 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8547 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8550 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8552 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8553 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8556 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8557 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8558 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8559 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8560 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8562 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8563 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8564 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8566 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8568 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8570 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8572 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8573 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8575 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8576 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8577 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8578 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8580 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8583 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8584 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8585 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8586 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8589 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8590 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8591 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8594 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8595 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8596 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8597 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8598 installed as `perl').
8599 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8601 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8602 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8604 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8605 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8606 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8607 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8608 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8611 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8614 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8615 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8616 is horrible: I feel ill....
8619 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8620 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8621 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8622 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8625 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8626 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8628 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8629 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8630 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8631 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8633 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8634 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8635 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8636 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8637 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8638 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8640 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8642 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8643 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8645 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8646 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8648 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8651 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8652 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8656 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8657 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8658 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8659 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8660 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8661 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8662 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8663 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8664 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8665 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8666 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8668 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8671 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8672 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8673 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8674 for linking it into DSOs.
8675 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8677 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8681 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8682 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8683 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8684 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8685 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8686 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8688 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8689 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8690 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8691 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8692 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8693 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8694 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8696 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8697 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8698 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8702 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8703 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8704 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8705 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8708 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8709 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8710 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8711 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8712 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8716 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8717 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8718 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8719 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8720 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8722 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8723 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8724 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8726 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8727 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8729 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8730 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8731 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8732 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8733 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8736 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8737 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8738 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8739 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8740 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8741 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8742 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8745 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8747 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8748 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8751 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8752 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8754 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8755 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8758 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8759 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8760 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8761 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8762 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8764 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8765 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8766 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8767 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8768 no way to reconfigure them.
8769 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8770 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8771 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8772 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8773 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8774 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8776 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8777 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8778 recognized by the users.
8779 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8781 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8782 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8783 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8784 already masked variable.
8785 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8787 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8788 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8790 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8791 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8792 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8793 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8795 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8796 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8797 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8799 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8800 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8801 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8802 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8803 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8804 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8805 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8806 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8810 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8811 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8812 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8814 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8815 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8819 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8820 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8822 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8823 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8824 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8825 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8828 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8831 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8832 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8834 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8837 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8838 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8841 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8842 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8845 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8846 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8847 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8848 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8849 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8850 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8851 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8854 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8855 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8857 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8858 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8859 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8860 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8861 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8863 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8864 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8865 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8868 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8869 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8873 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8874 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8875 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8877 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8878 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8879 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8883 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8884 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8885 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8886 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8889 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8890 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8891 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8892 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8895 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8896 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8897 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8898 so it wasn't spotted.
8899 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8901 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8902 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8903 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8904 vectors if you have them.
8907 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8908 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8911 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8912 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8913 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8914 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8916 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8917 it will update them.
8920 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8921 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8922 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8923 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8924 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8925 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8926 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8927 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8929 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8930 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8931 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8932 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8933 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8934 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8935 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8936 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8937 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8938 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8940 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8941 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8942 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8943 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8944 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8947 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8951 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8952 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8954 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8955 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8957 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8958 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8961 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8962 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8964 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8965 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8967 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8970 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8974 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8975 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8976 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8977 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8979 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8982 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8985 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8988 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8989 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8992 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8993 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8997 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8998 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9001 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9002 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9003 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9006 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9007 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9008 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9009 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9010 properly to be processed.
9013 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9014 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9015 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9018 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9019 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9021 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9022 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9023 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9024 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9025 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9026 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9027 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9028 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9029 or delete all the .err files.
9032 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9033 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9034 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9035 to regenerate it if needed.
9036 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9037 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9039 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9040 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9042 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9043 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9044 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9045 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9046 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9049 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9050 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9052 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9053 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9055 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9056 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9057 error, but didn't set one).
9058 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9060 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9063 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9064 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9067 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9068 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9070 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9071 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9072 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9073 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9074 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9075 OID is not part of the table.
9078 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9079 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9082 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9085 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9086 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9090 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9091 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9093 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9095 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9097 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9098 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9100 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9101 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9103 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9104 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9106 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9107 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9110 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9111 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9114 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9115 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9117 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9118 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9120 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9121 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9123 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9124 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9126 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9127 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9128 unused in the certificate verification process.
9129 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9131 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9132 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9135 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9136 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9137 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9139 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9140 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9141 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9142 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9143 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9145 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9146 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9149 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9152 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9155 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9156 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9158 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9161 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9164 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9167 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9168 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9169 other error libraries.
9172 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9175 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9176 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9180 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9181 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9182 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9183 the new set of documenation files.
9184 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9186 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9187 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9188 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9189 number of arguments.
9190 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9192 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9195 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9196 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9197 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9199 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9202 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9206 unixware-2.0-pentium
9210 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9211 before they are needed.
9214 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9218 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9220 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9221 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9222 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9224 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9227 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9228 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9231 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9232 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9233 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9235 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9236 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9237 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9239 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9240 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9242 *) Updated the README file.
9243 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9245 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9246 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9247 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9249 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9250 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9251 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9253 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9254 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9255 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9256 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9257 o removed obsolete TODO file
9258 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9259 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9261 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9262 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9263 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
9264 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
9265 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
9266 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9267 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9269 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9272 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9273 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9274 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9276 [The OpenSSL Project]
9279 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9281 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9284 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9287 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9288 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9291 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9292 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9296 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9298 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9300 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9303 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9306 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9309 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9312 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9315 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9318 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9321 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9324 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9327 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9330 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9333 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9336 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9339 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9342 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9345 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9348 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9351 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9352 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9353 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9356 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9357 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9360 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9363 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9366 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9367 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9370 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9373 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9376 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9377 bytes sent in the client random.
9378 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
