5 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
8 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
9 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
10 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
13 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
14 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
15 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
19 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
20 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
23 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
24 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
25 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
28 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
29 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
31 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
32 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
34 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
35 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
36 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
37 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
40 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
41 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
42 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
43 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
44 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
48 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
49 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
50 straightforward and less interdependent.
52 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
53 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
54 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
56 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
57 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
58 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
60 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
61 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
62 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
63 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
65 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
66 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
69 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
70 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
71 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
72 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
76 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
78 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
80 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
81 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
82 before trying to build now.*
85 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
89 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
91 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
92 the application's responsibility. The application provides
93 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
94 used to authenticate the peer.
96 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
97 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
98 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
99 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
100 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
103 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
104 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
105 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
106 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
107 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
108 or the 1.1.0 releases.
110 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
111 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
112 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
113 support for the deprecated features from the library and
114 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
115 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
116 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
117 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
120 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
121 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
122 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
123 compile with later releases.
125 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
126 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
127 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
128 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
129 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
132 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
133 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
134 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
135 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
136 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
137 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
138 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
139 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
142 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
145 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
146 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
147 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
150 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
151 include the ec.h header file instead.
154 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
155 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
156 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
159 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
160 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
163 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
164 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
166 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
167 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
168 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
171 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
172 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
173 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
174 an already created structure.
175 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
176 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
177 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
178 for deprecated builds.
181 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
182 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
183 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
184 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
185 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
186 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
187 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
190 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
191 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
192 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
193 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
196 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
197 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
200 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
201 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
204 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
205 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
206 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
207 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
208 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
209 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
210 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
214 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
215 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
216 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
219 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
222 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
224 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
226 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
228 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
229 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
237 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
238 set a mandatory field to NULL.
240 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
241 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
242 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
246 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
249 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
250 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
251 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
252 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
255 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
256 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
257 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
258 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
261 *) Fix no-stdio build.
262 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
263 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
265 *) New testing framework
266 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
267 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
268 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
269 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
270 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
271 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
273 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
275 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
276 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
280 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
281 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
282 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
283 and others were changed. All are now documented.
286 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
288 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
290 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
291 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
293 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
294 original RSA_PSK patch.
297 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
298 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
299 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
300 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
303 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
304 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
307 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
308 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
309 hasn't been working properly for a while.
312 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
313 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
314 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
315 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
319 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
320 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
321 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
322 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
325 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
326 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
327 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
328 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
329 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
330 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
333 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
334 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
335 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
336 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
337 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
338 header file has been removed.
341 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
342 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
345 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
346 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
347 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
349 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
353 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
356 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
360 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
363 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
364 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
365 initial patch which was a great help during development.
368 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
369 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
370 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
371 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
374 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
375 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
376 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
377 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
378 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
379 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
382 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
383 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
384 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
385 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
388 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
389 compatible client hello.
392 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
393 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
394 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
396 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
399 *) Removed old DES API.
402 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
408 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
413 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
416 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
417 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
418 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
419 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
420 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
421 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
422 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
423 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
424 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
425 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
426 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
429 *) Cleaned up dead code
430 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
433 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
434 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
435 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
438 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
439 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
440 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
443 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
444 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
445 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
447 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
448 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
449 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
451 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
453 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
455 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
456 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
457 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
459 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
460 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
462 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
463 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
466 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
467 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
468 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
469 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
471 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
472 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
473 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
474 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
476 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
477 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
478 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
480 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
481 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
484 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
486 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
487 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
489 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
490 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
492 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
495 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
499 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
500 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
501 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
502 algorithms and include tests cases.
505 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
509 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
510 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
513 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
514 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
516 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
517 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
520 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
521 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
525 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
526 sign or verify all in one operation.
529 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
530 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
531 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
534 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
537 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
540 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
541 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
542 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
543 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
544 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
547 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
551 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
552 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
553 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
556 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
557 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
560 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
563 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
564 POST to handle HMAC cases.
567 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
568 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
571 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
572 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
573 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
576 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
577 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
578 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
579 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
580 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
581 requested amount of entropy.
584 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
585 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
588 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
589 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
590 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
594 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
595 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
596 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
599 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
600 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
601 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
602 will never use XTS mode.
605 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
606 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
607 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
608 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
609 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
610 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
613 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
614 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
615 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
616 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
619 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
620 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
621 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
624 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
627 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
630 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
631 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
634 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
635 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
638 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
639 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
642 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
643 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
644 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
645 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
646 and rename any affected symbols.
649 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
650 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
653 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
654 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
655 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
658 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
661 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
662 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
663 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
666 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
667 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
670 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
671 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
672 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
673 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
674 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
675 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
679 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
680 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
681 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
682 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
683 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
684 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
685 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
686 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
689 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
690 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
693 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
695 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
696 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
698 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
699 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
700 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
701 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
702 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
703 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
705 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
706 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
707 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
709 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
711 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
715 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
716 Add CMAC pkey methods.
719 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
720 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
721 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
724 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
725 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
726 multi-process servers.
729 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
730 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
731 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
732 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
733 RAND_METHOD structure.
736 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
737 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
738 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
739 whose return value is often ignored.
742 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
743 *) DH small subgroups
745 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
746 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
747 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
748 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
749 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
750 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
751 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
752 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
753 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
754 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
756 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
757 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
758 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
759 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
760 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
762 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
763 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
764 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
765 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
767 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
768 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
770 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
774 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
776 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
777 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
778 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
781 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
782 and Sebastian Schinzel.
786 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
788 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
790 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
791 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
792 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
793 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
794 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
795 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
796 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
797 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
798 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
799 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
800 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
801 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
803 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
807 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
809 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
810 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
811 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
812 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
813 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
814 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
815 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
818 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
822 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
824 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
825 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
826 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
827 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
829 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
834 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
835 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
836 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
837 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
840 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
842 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
844 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
846 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
848 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
849 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
850 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
851 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
852 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
853 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
855 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
859 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
861 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
862 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
866 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
868 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
870 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
871 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
874 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
875 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
876 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
877 client authentication enabled.
879 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
883 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
885 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
886 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
887 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
890 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
891 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
892 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
893 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
894 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
897 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
898 independently by Hanno Böck.
902 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
904 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
905 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
906 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
908 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
909 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
910 servers are not affected.
912 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
916 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
918 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
919 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
920 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
922 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
926 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
928 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
929 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
930 a double free of the ticket data.
934 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
935 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
936 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
939 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
941 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
943 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
944 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
945 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
947 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
950 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
952 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
954 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
955 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
956 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
957 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
958 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
959 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
960 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
961 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
963 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
967 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
969 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
970 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
971 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
972 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
973 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
974 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
975 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
976 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
979 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
983 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
985 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
986 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
987 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
988 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
989 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
990 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
994 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
996 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
997 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
998 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
999 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1000 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1001 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1002 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1004 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1008 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1010 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1011 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1012 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1014 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1015 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1016 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1021 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1023 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1024 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1025 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1027 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1028 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1029 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1031 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1035 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1037 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1038 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1039 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1041 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1042 (OpenSSL development team).
1046 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1048 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1049 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1050 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1054 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1056 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1057 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1058 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1059 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1060 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1061 SSL_client_methodv23)
1062 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1063 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1065 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1066 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1067 output may be predictable.
1069 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1070 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1072 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1076 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1078 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1079 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1080 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1081 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1082 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1083 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1085 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1090 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1092 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1093 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1095 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1099 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1102 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1104 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1105 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1106 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
1107 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1108 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1109 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1112 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1113 (other platforms pending).
1114 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1116 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1117 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1120 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1121 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1122 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1125 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1126 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1127 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1128 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1131 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1132 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1134 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1135 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1136 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1137 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1138 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1140 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1143 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1144 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1145 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1146 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1148 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1150 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1152 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1153 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1154 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1157 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1160 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1161 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1162 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1165 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1166 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1169 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1170 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1173 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1174 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1175 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1176 algorithms and include tests cases.
1179 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1181 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1183 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1184 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1187 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1188 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1189 summary of the connection parameters.
1192 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1193 of connection parameters.
1196 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1197 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1199 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1200 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1203 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1206 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1207 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1210 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1211 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1214 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1218 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1219 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1220 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1223 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1226 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1227 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1230 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1231 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1232 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1236 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1237 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1240 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1244 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1248 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1249 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1250 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1251 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1254 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1255 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1258 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1259 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1260 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1264 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1265 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1266 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1267 use the certificate.
1270 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1273 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1274 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1275 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1276 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1277 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1278 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1279 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1281 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1282 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1286 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1287 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1288 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1291 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1292 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1293 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1294 supported signature algorithms.
1297 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1300 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1301 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1302 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1303 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1304 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1305 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1306 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1309 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1310 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1311 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1312 to have similar checks in it.
1314 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1315 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1316 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1317 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1318 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1321 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1322 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1323 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1324 shared signature algorithms.
1327 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1328 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1332 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1333 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1334 it couldn't be removed.
1337 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1338 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1341 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1342 functions. Add manual page.
1343 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1345 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1346 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1350 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1351 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1353 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1354 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1355 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1356 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1360 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1361 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1364 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1365 platform support for Linux and Android.
1368 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1371 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1372 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1373 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1374 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1375 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1378 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1379 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1380 the new parameter format automatically.
1383 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1384 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1387 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1390 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1391 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1392 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1393 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1394 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1397 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1398 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1399 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1400 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1401 to set list of supported curves.
1404 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1405 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1406 to print out received values.
1409 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1410 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1411 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1414 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1415 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1418 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1419 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1422 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1426 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1428 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1429 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1430 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1432 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1434 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1435 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1437 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1439 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1440 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1441 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1442 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1446 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1447 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1448 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1449 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1450 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1451 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1455 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1456 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1457 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1458 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1462 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1465 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1466 reporting this issue.
1470 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1471 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1472 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1473 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1474 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1475 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1479 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1480 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1481 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1482 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1483 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1484 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1485 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1490 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1491 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1493 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1494 and can vary with the CTX.
1497 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1499 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1500 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1501 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1502 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1503 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1505 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1507 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1508 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1510 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1512 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1513 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1514 errors for some broken certificates.
1516 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1518 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1520 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1521 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1523 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1524 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1525 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1526 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1528 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1529 of the OpenSSL core team.
1534 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1535 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1536 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1537 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1538 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1539 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1540 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1541 the OpenSSL core team.
1545 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1546 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1547 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1548 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1549 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1551 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1552 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1553 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1556 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1557 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1558 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1559 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1560 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1562 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1563 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1564 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1567 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1569 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1571 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1572 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1573 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1574 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1575 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1576 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1577 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1579 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1583 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1585 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1586 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1587 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1588 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1589 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1594 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1596 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1597 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1598 configured to send them.
1600 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1602 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1603 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1604 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1606 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1608 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1610 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1611 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1612 DigestInfo structures.
1614 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1618 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1620 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1621 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1622 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1624 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1625 Group for discovering this issue.
1629 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1630 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1631 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1632 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1633 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1635 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1636 researching this issue.
1640 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1641 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1642 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1643 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1645 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1650 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1651 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1652 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1656 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1657 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1658 Denial of Service attack.
1659 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1663 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1664 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1665 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1666 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1671 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1672 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1673 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1675 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1680 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1681 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1682 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1683 Denial of Service attack.
1685 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1686 discovering and researching this issue.
1690 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1691 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1692 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1693 output to the attacker.
1695 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1697 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1699 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1700 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1701 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1704 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1706 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1707 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1708 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1710 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1711 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1712 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1714 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1715 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1718 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1720 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1722 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1723 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1724 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1725 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1727 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1728 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1730 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1731 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1733 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1734 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1735 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1737 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1739 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1741 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1742 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
1743 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1745 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1746 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1748 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1750 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1751 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1754 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1755 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1756 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1757 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1759 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1760 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1761 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1762 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1764 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1765 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1766 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1768 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1770 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1771 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1772 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1773 is at least 512 bytes long.
1775 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1777 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1779 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1780 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1781 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1784 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1785 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1786 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1789 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1790 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1791 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1792 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1793 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1794 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1795 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1797 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1799 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1800 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1801 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1803 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1805 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1807 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1808 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1809 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1811 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1812 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1813 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1814 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1816 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1818 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1819 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1820 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1821 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1822 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1826 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1827 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1830 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1831 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1833 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1834 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1835 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1836 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1837 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1839 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1842 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1846 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1848 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1849 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1851 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1852 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1856 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1857 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1860 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1864 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1866 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1867 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1868 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1869 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1870 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1871 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1872 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1873 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1874 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1875 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1878 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1879 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1880 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1881 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1882 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1883 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1887 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1889 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1890 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1891 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1893 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1894 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1896 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1898 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1901 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1902 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1904 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1905 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1906 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1907 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1908 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1909 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1910 Most broken servers should now work.
1911 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1912 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1915 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1918 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1920 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1921 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1924 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1925 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1926 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1927 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1928 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1931 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1932 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1933 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
1934 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1935 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1938 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1939 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1941 *) Add support for SCTP.
1942 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1944 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1945 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1947 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1949 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1950 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1951 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1952 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1953 - s390x: z196 support;
1954 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1958 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1959 (removal of unnecessary code)
1960 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1962 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1965 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1968 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1969 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1970 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1972 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1974 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1975 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1976 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1977 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1978 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1980 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1981 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1982 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1984 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1985 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1986 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1988 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1989 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1991 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1993 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1994 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1995 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1998 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1999 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2003 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2004 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2005 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2008 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2009 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2010 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2011 the appropriate parameters.
2014 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2015 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2016 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2017 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2018 against a number of sample certificates.
2021 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2022 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2024 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2025 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2027 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2028 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2032 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2036 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2037 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2038 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2039 password based CMS).
2042 *) Session-handling fixes:
2043 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2044 but also support Session Tickets.
2045 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2046 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2047 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2048 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2049 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2050 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2052 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2055 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2057 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2060 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2061 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2062 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2063 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2064 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2067 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2068 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2071 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2072 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2073 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2076 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2077 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2078 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2079 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2082 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2083 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2084 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2087 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2088 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2090 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2093 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2094 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2097 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2100 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2101 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2104 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2105 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2108 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2111 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2112 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2113 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2116 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2119 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2122 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2123 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2126 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2127 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2128 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2131 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2134 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2138 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2139 FIPS modules versions.
2142 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2143 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2144 until after the certificate request message is received.
2147 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2148 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2149 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2150 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2153 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2154 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2155 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2156 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2159 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2160 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2161 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2162 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2163 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2164 and version checking.
2167 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2168 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2169 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2170 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2174 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2176 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2179 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2180 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2181 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2183 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2184 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2185 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2188 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2189 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2191 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2192 a few changes are required:
2194 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2195 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2196 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2197 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2198 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2201 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2203 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2204 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2205 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2206 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2207 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2208 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2209 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2210 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2211 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2214 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2215 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2216 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2219 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2221 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2222 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2223 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2224 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2227 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2229 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2230 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2231 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2232 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2233 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2234 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2235 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2236 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2237 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2238 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2239 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2240 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2241 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2243 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2245 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2247 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2248 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2249 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2250 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2252 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2253 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2255 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2256 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2257 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2258 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2260 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2261 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2263 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2264 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2266 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2267 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2269 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2270 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2271 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2273 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2274 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2275 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2277 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2278 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2279 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2280 the last update always remained unused).
2281 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2283 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2284 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2286 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2288 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2289 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2290 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2292 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2293 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2294 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2296 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2299 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2300 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2301 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2304 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2305 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2307 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2309 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2311 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2313 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2314 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2316 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2317 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2321 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2323 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2324 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2325 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2328 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2329 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2330 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2333 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2335 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2336 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2337 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2340 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2344 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2346 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2348 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2350 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2352 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2353 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2354 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2357 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2360 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2361 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2362 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2364 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2365 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2366 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2369 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2370 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2373 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2374 some responders need this.
2377 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2379 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2381 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2382 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2383 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2386 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2389 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2390 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2391 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2392 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2393 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2394 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2395 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2396 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2399 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2400 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2401 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2402 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2404 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2405 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2407 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2411 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2412 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2413 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2414 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2415 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2416 attempting to work them out.
2419 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2420 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2421 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2422 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2425 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2426 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2427 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2428 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2429 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2432 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2433 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2440 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2442 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2446 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2447 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2449 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2450 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2452 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2453 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2454 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2455 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2456 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2459 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2460 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2461 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2464 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2465 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2468 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2469 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2471 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2472 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2475 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2478 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2479 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2480 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2484 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2485 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2486 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2487 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2488 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2489 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2492 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2493 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2495 This work was sponsored by Google.
2498 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2499 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2500 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2501 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2502 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2503 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2504 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2507 This work was sponsored by Google.
2510 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2512 This work was sponsored by Google.
2515 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2516 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2517 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2518 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2520 This work was sponsored by Google.
2523 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2524 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2525 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2526 CRL functionality in future.
2528 This work was sponsored by Google.
2531 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2533 This work was sponsored by Google.
2536 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2537 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2539 This work was sponsored by Google.
2542 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2543 and URI types are currently supported.
2545 This work was sponsored by Google.
2548 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2549 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2550 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2551 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2552 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2553 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2554 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2555 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2557 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2558 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2559 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2561 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2562 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2563 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2564 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2566 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2567 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2568 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2569 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2570 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2571 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2572 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2573 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2575 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2577 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2578 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2579 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2581 This work was sponsored by Google.
2584 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2587 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2588 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2589 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2592 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2593 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2596 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2597 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2600 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2601 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2602 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2603 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2604 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2605 content types and variants.
2608 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2611 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2612 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2613 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2614 files from the associated perl scripts.
2617 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2618 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2619 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2621 *) s390x assembler pack.
2624 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2628 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2629 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2630 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2631 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2632 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2633 to use. For example, specify an option
2635 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2637 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2638 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2639 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2640 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2641 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2642 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2644 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2645 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2646 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2647 return non-zero for success.
2649 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2652 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2653 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2657 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2660 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2661 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2662 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2663 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2664 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2665 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2666 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2667 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2668 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2670 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2671 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2672 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2673 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2674 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2675 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2677 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2678 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2679 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2680 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2681 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2682 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2686 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2689 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2691 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2692 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2693 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2696 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2697 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2700 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2701 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2702 with no application modification.
2704 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2705 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2707 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2708 or server extensions to be examined.
2710 This work was sponsored by Google.
2713 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2714 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2715 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2717 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2718 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2719 ciphersuite support.
2720 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2722 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2723 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2724 to output in BER and PEM format.
2727 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2728 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2729 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2730 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2731 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2734 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2735 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2736 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2740 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2741 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2742 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2743 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2744 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2745 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2746 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2747 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2750 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2751 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2752 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2753 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2755 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2756 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2757 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2761 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2762 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2763 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2764 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2765 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2766 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2767 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2768 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2769 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2771 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2772 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2773 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2774 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2775 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2776 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2777 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2778 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2779 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2780 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2781 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2784 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2785 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2786 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2788 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2789 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2793 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2794 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2795 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2798 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2799 it yet and it is largely untested.
2802 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2805 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2806 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2807 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2810 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2813 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2814 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2815 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2816 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2819 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2820 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2821 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2822 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2823 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2826 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2827 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2830 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2831 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2832 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2833 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2836 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2837 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2838 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2839 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2842 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2843 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2846 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2847 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2848 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2849 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2852 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2853 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2854 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2857 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2861 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2862 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2865 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2866 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2867 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2871 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2872 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2873 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2876 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2877 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2878 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2879 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2882 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2883 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2884 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2885 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2886 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2887 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2890 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2891 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2892 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2893 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2894 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2896 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2897 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2898 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2899 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2900 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2903 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2904 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2905 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2906 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2908 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2909 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2910 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2911 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2912 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2918 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2919 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2923 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2924 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2927 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2928 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2931 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2932 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2933 functional reference processing.
2936 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2937 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2941 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2942 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2943 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2946 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2947 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2948 application to support multiple signers.
2951 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2955 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2956 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2957 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2958 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2959 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2962 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2966 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2967 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2968 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2969 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2973 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2974 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2975 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2976 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
2977 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2978 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2979 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2980 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2983 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2984 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2985 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2986 between digests and public key types.
2989 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2990 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2991 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2992 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2995 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2996 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3000 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3003 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3007 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3008 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3009 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3010 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3015 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3017 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3019 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3021 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3022 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3023 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3024 functionality for RSA.
3027 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3028 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3029 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3032 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3033 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3036 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3037 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3038 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3041 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3042 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3045 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3046 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3049 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3050 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3054 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3055 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3056 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3060 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3061 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3062 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3063 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3064 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3065 of public and private key structures.
3068 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3069 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3072 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3073 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3074 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3077 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3081 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3082 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3083 SSL_get_psk_identity
3084 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3086 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3088 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3089 and response verification functionality.
3090 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3092 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3093 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3094 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3095 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3096 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3097 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3098 server_name extension.
3100 New functions (subject to change):
3102 SSL_get_servername()
3103 SSL_get_servername_type()
3106 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3108 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3109 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3110 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3111 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3112 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3114 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3116 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3117 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3118 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3119 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3120 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3121 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3124 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3126 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3129 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3130 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3131 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3132 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3133 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3136 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3137 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3141 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3142 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3143 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3144 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3147 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3148 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3149 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3150 using the maximum available value.
3153 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3154 in addition to the text details.
3157 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3158 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3159 handle several customised structures at all.
3162 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3163 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3164 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3167 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3170 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3171 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3172 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3175 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3176 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3177 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3180 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3181 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3185 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3188 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3191 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3193 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3194 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3195 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3196 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3197 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3198 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3199 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3200 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3202 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3203 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3204 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3206 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3208 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3209 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3211 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3212 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3215 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3216 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3217 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3220 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3221 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3222 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3223 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3224 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3225 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3228 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3229 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3230 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3233 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3234 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3235 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3236 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3237 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3238 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3242 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3243 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3246 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3247 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3248 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3251 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3254 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3255 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3256 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3257 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3258 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3259 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3260 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3261 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3262 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3265 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3266 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3267 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3270 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3271 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3274 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3275 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3276 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3277 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3278 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3279 know what you are doing.
3280 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3282 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3283 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3284 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3285 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3286 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3287 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3291 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3292 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3293 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3295 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3297 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3298 warnings in other configurations.
3301 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3302 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3303 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3305 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3307 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3308 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3309 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3311 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3312 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3313 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3314 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3317 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3321 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3322 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3324 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3326 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3327 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3328 other than a simple chain.
3329 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3331 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3332 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3333 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3334 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3337 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3338 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3339 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3340 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3341 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3342 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3343 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3344 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3345 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3347 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3348 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3349 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3350 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3351 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3352 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3354 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3356 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3357 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3360 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3361 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3364 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3366 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3368 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3369 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3370 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3371 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3372 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3376 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3378 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3379 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3380 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3381 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3383 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3384 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3385 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3386 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3388 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3389 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3390 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3393 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3394 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3398 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3399 to handle some structures.
3402 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3404 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3406 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3409 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3412 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3415 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3416 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3420 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3422 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3424 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3426 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3429 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3430 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3431 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3432 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3434 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3435 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3437 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3438 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3441 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3442 s_client and s_server.
3445 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3446 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3448 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3449 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3451 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3452 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3453 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3454 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3455 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3458 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3460 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3461 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3464 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3465 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3468 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3469 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3470 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3471 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3473 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3474 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3476 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3478 *) Various precautionary measures:
3480 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3482 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3483 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3484 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3486 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3487 outside the expected range.
3489 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3492 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3494 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3495 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3496 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3498 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3501 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3504 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3506 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3509 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3510 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3511 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3513 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3516 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3517 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3518 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3522 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3524 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3525 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3526 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3527 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3529 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3530 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3533 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3535 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3536 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3537 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3539 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3541 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3542 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3543 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3544 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3547 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3548 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3549 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3550 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3551 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3552 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3553 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3555 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3557 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3558 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3559 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3560 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3561 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3563 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3564 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3566 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3567 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3568 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3569 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3570 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3572 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3574 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3575 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3576 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3577 sets may exist with different names.
3580 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3581 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3582 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3583 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3584 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3585 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3586 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3587 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3588 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3590 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3592 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3593 implemention in the following ways:
3595 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3598 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3599 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3600 ignored for embedded content.
3602 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3603 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3606 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3607 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3608 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3609 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3611 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3612 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3615 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3616 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3619 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3620 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3621 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3622 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3623 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3624 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3628 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3629 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3630 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3634 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3635 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3636 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3637 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3638 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3639 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3640 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3641 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3643 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3644 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3645 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3646 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3647 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3648 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3649 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3651 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3652 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3653 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3654 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3655 to s_client and s_server.
3658 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3660 *) Fix various bugs:
3661 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3662 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3663 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3664 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3665 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3667 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3669 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3670 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3671 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3672 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3673 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3674 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3675 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3676 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3679 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3680 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3681 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3684 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3685 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3686 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3689 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3690 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3693 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3694 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3695 with no application modification.
3697 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3698 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3700 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3701 or server extensions to be examined.
3703 This work was sponsored by Google.
3706 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3707 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3708 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3709 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3710 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3711 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3712 server_name extension.
3714 New functions (subject to change):
3716 SSL_get_servername()
3717 SSL_get_servername_type()
3720 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3722 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3723 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3724 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3725 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3726 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3728 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3730 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3731 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3732 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3733 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3734 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3735 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3738 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3740 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3743 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3746 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3747 (which previously caused an internal error).
3750 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3753 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3754 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3756 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3757 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3758 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3760 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3761 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3762 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3763 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3765 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3766 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3767 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3768 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3770 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3771 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3772 information. For detailed background information, see
3773 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3774 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3775 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3776 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3777 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3778 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3779 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3780 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3781 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3782 remove a conditional branch.
3784 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3785 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3786 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3787 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3788 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3789 remains as a deprecated alias.
3791 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3792 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3793 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3794 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3796 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3797 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3798 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3799 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3800 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3801 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3802 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3803 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3805 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3807 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3808 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3809 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3810 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3811 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3812 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3813 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3814 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3815 in a different context.
3818 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3819 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3820 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3823 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3824 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3825 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3827 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3829 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3830 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3831 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3832 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3833 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3836 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3837 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3838 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3839 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3840 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3841 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3844 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3845 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3846 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3847 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3848 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3851 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3852 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3854 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3855 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3856 Improve header file function name parsing.
3859 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3860 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3863 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3865 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3866 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3867 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3869 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3870 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3872 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3873 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3875 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3876 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3877 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3879 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3880 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3881 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3882 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3883 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3884 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3885 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3886 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3887 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3889 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3890 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3891 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3892 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3893 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3895 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3896 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3897 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3898 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3899 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3900 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3901 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3902 multiple values to extend the available space.
3906 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3908 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3909 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3911 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3914 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3915 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3916 undesirable limitations.
3917 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3919 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3920 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3921 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3922 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3923 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3924 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3925 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3928 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3930 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3931 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3932 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3934 The latter two were purportedly from
3935 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3938 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3939 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3940 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3943 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3944 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3947 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3948 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3949 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3950 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3952 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3953 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3954 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3957 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3958 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3959 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3960 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3961 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3962 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3965 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3967 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3968 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3971 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3972 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3974 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3975 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3976 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3977 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3980 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3981 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3984 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3985 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3986 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3987 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3988 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3989 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3990 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3994 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3995 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3996 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3997 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4000 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4001 under VC++ build system.
4004 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4005 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4008 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4010 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4011 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4012 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4013 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4014 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4016 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4017 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4018 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4020 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4023 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4024 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4027 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4028 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4030 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4033 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4034 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4036 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4037 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4040 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4041 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4045 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4047 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4050 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4053 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4054 key into the same file any more.
4057 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4060 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4061 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4063 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4064 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4067 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4068 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4069 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4070 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4071 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4072 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4074 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4075 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4076 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4079 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4080 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4081 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4082 - add new function for parameter creation
4083 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4084 BN_BLINDING parameters
4085 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4086 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4087 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4091 *) Add support for DTLS.
4092 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4094 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4095 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4098 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4099 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4102 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4103 the apps/openssl applications.
4106 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4107 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4108 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4111 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4112 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4114 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4115 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4117 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4118 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4119 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4120 avoid this algorithm.)
4124 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4125 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4126 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4129 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4130 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4133 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4134 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4135 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4138 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4140 The blank line is mandatory.
4144 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4145 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4149 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4150 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4152 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4153 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4154 to support policy checking and print out.
4157 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4158 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4159 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4160 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4162 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4165 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4166 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4168 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4169 implementation contributed by IBM.
4170 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4172 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4173 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4174 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4175 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4177 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4178 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4180 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4181 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4182 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4183 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4184 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4185 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4188 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4189 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4190 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4191 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4192 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4193 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4194 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4197 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4200 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4201 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4202 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4203 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4204 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4205 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4206 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4207 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4210 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4211 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4212 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4213 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4216 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4219 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4222 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4223 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4224 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4225 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4226 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4227 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4228 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4231 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4232 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4235 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4236 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4237 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4240 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4241 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4242 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4246 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4247 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4250 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4251 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4252 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4253 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4256 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4257 initialised value as BN_new().
4258 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4260 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4263 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4264 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4265 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4266 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4267 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4268 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4269 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4270 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4271 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4272 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4273 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4274 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4275 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4276 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4277 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4279 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4280 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4281 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4282 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4285 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4286 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4287 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4288 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4289 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4290 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4291 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4292 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4293 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
