5 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
8 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
9 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
10 using the maximum available value.
13 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
14 in addition to the text details.
17 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
18 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
19 handle several customised structures at all.
22 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
23 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
24 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
27 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
30 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
31 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
32 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
35 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
36 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
37 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
40 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
41 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
45 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
48 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
50 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
51 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
52 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
53 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
56 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
57 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
58 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
60 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
63 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
64 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
67 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
68 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
70 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
73 *) Extended Windows CE support.
74 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
76 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
77 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
80 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
81 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
85 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
87 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
90 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
91 key into the same file any more.
94 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
97 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
98 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
100 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
101 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
104 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
105 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
106 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
107 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
108 this only applies when building 'shared'.
109 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
111 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
112 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
113 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
116 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
117 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
118 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
119 - add new function for parameter creation
120 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
121 BN_BLINDING parameters
122 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
123 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
124 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
128 *) Add support for DTLS.
129 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
131 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
132 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
135 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
136 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
139 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
140 the apps/openssl applications.
143 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
144 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
145 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
148 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
149 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
151 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
152 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
154 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
155 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
156 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
157 avoid this algorithm.)
161 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
162 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
163 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
166 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
167 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
170 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
171 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
172 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
175 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
177 The blank line is mandatory.
181 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
182 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
186 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
187 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
189 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
190 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
191 to support policy checking and print out.
194 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
195 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
196 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
197 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
199 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
202 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
203 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
205 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
206 implementation contributed by IBM.
207 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
209 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
210 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
211 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
212 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
214 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
215 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
217 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
218 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
219 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
220 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
221 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
222 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
225 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
226 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
227 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
228 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
229 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
230 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
231 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
234 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
237 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
238 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
239 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
240 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
241 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
242 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
243 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
244 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
247 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
248 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
249 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
250 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
253 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
256 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
259 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
260 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
261 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
262 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
263 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
264 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
268 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
269 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
272 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
273 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
274 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
277 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
278 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
279 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
283 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
284 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
287 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
288 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
289 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
290 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
293 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
294 initialised value as BN_new().
295 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
297 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
300 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
301 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
302 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
303 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
304 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
305 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
306 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
307 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
308 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
309 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
310 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
311 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
312 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
313 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
314 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
316 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
317 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
318 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
319 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
322 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
323 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
324 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
325 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
326 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
327 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
328 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
329 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
330 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
333 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
334 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
335 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
336 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
337 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
338 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
339 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
342 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
343 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
344 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
345 these have been updated also.
348 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
349 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
350 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
351 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
352 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
356 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
357 structure of type "other".
360 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
361 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
362 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
363 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
364 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
365 situation in the script.
366 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
368 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
369 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
370 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
371 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
372 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
373 used as premaster secret.
374 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
376 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
377 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
378 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
380 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
381 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
383 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
384 control of the error stack.
387 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
390 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
391 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
392 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
393 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
396 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
397 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
398 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
401 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
402 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
403 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
407 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
408 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
409 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
410 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
413 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
414 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
415 the following flags are defined:
417 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
418 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
419 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
422 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
423 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
424 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
425 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
429 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
430 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
431 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
432 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
433 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
436 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
437 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
438 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
441 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
442 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
443 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
444 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
445 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
446 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
449 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
453 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
456 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
459 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
462 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
463 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
464 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
465 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
466 default implementation more easily.
469 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
473 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
474 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
477 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
478 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
479 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
480 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
482 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
483 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
484 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
488 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
489 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
493 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
494 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
495 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
496 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
497 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
499 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
501 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
502 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
503 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
507 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
508 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
509 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
510 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
511 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
512 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
513 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
514 linker additions, eg;
515 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
518 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
519 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
520 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
523 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
524 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
525 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
529 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
530 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
531 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
532 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
535 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
536 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
537 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
538 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
539 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
540 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
541 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
542 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
543 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
544 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
546 Example for using the new callback interface:
548 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
552 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
554 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
555 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
556 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
557 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
558 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
559 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
564 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
565 available to TLS with the number defined in
566 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
569 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
570 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
572 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
573 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
574 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
575 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
577 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
578 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
580 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
581 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
585 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
586 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
589 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
590 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
591 and a macro that behave like
592 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
594 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
597 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
598 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
599 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
601 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
603 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
606 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
607 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
608 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
609 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
611 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
612 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
613 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
614 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
615 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
616 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
617 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
618 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
620 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
621 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
624 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
625 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
627 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
628 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
629 files while avoiding the low level API.
631 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
632 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
633 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
634 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
636 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
637 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
638 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
639 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
640 instead of the low level API.
643 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
644 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
645 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
646 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
647 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
650 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
651 down to the template encoder.
654 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
655 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
658 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
659 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
660 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
661 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
663 *) Add ECDH engine support.
664 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
666 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
667 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
669 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
670 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
673 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
674 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
675 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
678 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
679 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
681 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
682 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
684 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
685 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
688 EC_GF2m_simple_method
692 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
693 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
694 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
695 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
696 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
697 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
699 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
700 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
703 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
704 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
705 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
706 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
707 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
708 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
709 various internal method names.)
711 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
712 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
714 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
715 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
717 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
718 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
720 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
721 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
722 methods are undefined.
724 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
725 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
727 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
728 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
729 length of the modulus.
731 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
732 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
734 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
735 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
737 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
738 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
740 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
741 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
742 used) in the following functions [macros]:
745 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
746 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
747 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
748 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
750 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
751 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
752 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
753 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
755 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
756 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
758 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
759 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
760 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
761 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
762 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
764 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
765 This applies to the following functions:
770 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
771 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
774 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
778 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
783 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
785 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
786 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
787 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
788 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
789 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
791 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
792 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
794 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
795 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
796 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
798 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
799 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
801 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
802 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
803 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
804 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
805 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
807 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
809 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
810 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
811 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
812 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
813 These control ASN1 encoding details:
814 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
815 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
816 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
817 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
818 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
819 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
820 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
822 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
826 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
827 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
828 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
830 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
831 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
832 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
833 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
840 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
841 EC_POINT_oct2point().
842 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
844 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
845 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
846 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
848 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
849 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
850 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
851 adding different types of curves.
852 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
854 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
855 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
856 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
859 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
860 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
862 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
863 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
864 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
865 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
867 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
869 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
870 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
872 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
873 library. Most notably,
874 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
875 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
876 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
877 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
878 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
879 extracted before the specific public key;
880 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
881 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
883 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
884 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
886 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
887 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
888 EC_get_builtin_curves().
889 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
891 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
892 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
893 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
895 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
896 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
897 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
898 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
899 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
900 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
904 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
906 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
907 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
908 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
909 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
910 idea. (CAN-2005-2969)
912 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
913 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
914 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
916 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
917 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
920 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
921 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
922 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
923 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
927 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
928 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
929 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
930 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
931 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
933 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
934 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
935 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
936 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
937 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
938 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
940 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
942 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
943 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
944 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
945 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
946 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
949 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
953 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
954 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
955 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
958 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
959 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
963 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
965 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
966 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
967 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
968 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
969 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
970 some needed definitions.
973 *) Undo Cygwin change.
976 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
977 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
978 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
979 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
982 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
984 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
985 server and client random values. Previously
986 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
987 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
989 This change has negligible security impact because:
991 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
994 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
997 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
998 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1001 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1004 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1006 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1009 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1010 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1011 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1013 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1016 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1017 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1020 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1021 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1022 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1024 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1027 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1028 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1029 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1033 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1034 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1035 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1036 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1038 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1039 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1040 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1041 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1045 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1047 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1048 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1049 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1050 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1051 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1054 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1057 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1058 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1060 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1061 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1062 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1063 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1064 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1065 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1066 rather than being initialized to 1.
1069 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1071 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1072 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
1073 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1075 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1077 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1079 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1080 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1081 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1082 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1083 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1084 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1087 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1088 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1089 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1090 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1091 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1095 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1096 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1097 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1098 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1099 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1102 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1103 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1104 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1108 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1109 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1111 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1114 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1116 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1118 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1119 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
1121 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
1123 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1124 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1128 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1129 exiting on the first error in a request.
1132 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1133 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1137 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1138 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1139 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1140 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1142 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1143 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1146 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1147 blocks during encryption.
1150 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1151 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1152 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1153 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1157 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1158 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1159 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1160 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1161 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1165 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1167 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1168 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1169 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1170 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1173 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1174 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1175 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1176 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1177 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1179 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1180 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1181 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1182 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1183 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1184 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1185 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1186 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1187 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1190 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1191 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1192 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1193 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1196 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1197 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1200 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1202 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1203 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1204 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1205 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1206 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
1208 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1209 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1210 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1212 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1213 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1214 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1215 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1216 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1218 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1219 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1220 used by default when no-err is given.
1223 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1224 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1226 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1227 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1228 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1229 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1230 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1232 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1233 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1234 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1235 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1237 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1239 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1241 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1243 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1244 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1245 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1246 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1250 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1251 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1253 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1254 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1257 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1258 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1259 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1260 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1263 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1264 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1265 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1266 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1267 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1268 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1269 followup to PR #377.
1272 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1273 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1276 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1277 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1278 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1281 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1283 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1286 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1287 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1288 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1289 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1291 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1295 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
1296 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1300 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1301 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1302 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1303 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1304 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1305 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1307 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1308 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1309 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1310 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1311 have to be made anyway).
1314 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1315 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1316 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1319 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1320 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1321 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1324 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1325 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1326 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1328 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1329 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1330 edit numbers of the version.
1331 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1333 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1334 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1335 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1337 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1338 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1340 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1341 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1342 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1344 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1345 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1347 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1348 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1350 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1353 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1354 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1356 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1358 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1360 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1361 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1362 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1364 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1365 representations in a platform independent manner.
1366 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1368 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1369 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1370 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1372 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do

1376 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1377 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1379 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half

1392 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1394 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.

1397 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1398 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1400 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.

1410 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

1413 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1414 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1416 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1418 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1419 the 0.9.6 release series:
1421 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1422 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1424 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1426 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1429 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1430 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1432 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1433 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1435 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1436 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1437 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1438 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1440 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1441 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1442 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1444 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1445 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1446 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1447 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1449 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1450 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1451 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1454 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1455 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1456 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1457 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1458 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1459 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1460 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1461 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1464 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1465 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1466 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1469 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1470 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1471 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1472 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1473 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1475 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1476 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1478 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1479 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1482 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1483 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1484 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1485 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1486 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1487 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1490 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1491 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1492 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1495 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1496 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1499 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1500 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1501 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1502 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1503 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1504 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1505 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1508 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1509 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1510 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1511 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1512 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1513 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1516 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1517 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1518 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1519 declaration has been changed from
1522 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1523 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1524 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1525 has been changed into
1526 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1528 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1529 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1530 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1532 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1533 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1535 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1536 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1537 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1538 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1539 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1540 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1541 always load it have also been added.
1544 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1545 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1546 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1548 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1550 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1551 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1552 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1554 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1555 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1556 command line option can be used to specify an
1560 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1561 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1564 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1565 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1566 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1569 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1570 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1571 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1572 to work with the new engine framework.
1573 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1575 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1576 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1577 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1578 to work with the new engine framework.
1581 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1582 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1583 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1585 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1586 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1588 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1589 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1590 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1591 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1593 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1595 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1596 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1598 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1599 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1601 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1602 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1603 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1606 *) Add new functions
1608 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1609 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1610 These are similar to
1613 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1614 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1615 still in the error queue.
1616 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1618 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1620 default_algorithms = ALL
1621 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1624 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1627 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1630 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1631 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1632 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1633 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1635 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1636 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1638 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1639 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1641 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1642 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1645 *) New functions/macros
1647 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1648 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1649 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1650 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1652 to request calling a callback function
1654 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1655 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1657 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1658 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1659 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1660 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1661 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1662 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1663 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1664 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1665 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1666 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1668 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1669 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1672 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1673 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1674 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1675 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1676 the configuration scripts.
1678 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1679 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1680 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1682 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1683 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1685 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1686 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1687 when reusing an existing buffer.
1690 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1691 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1694 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1695 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1698 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1699 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1700 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1701 has the same effect.
1702 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1704 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1705 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1706 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1707 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1708 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1709 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1712 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1713 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1714 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1715 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1717 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1718 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1719 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1720 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1722 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1723 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1726 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1727 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1728 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1729 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1730 default), and then completely removed.
1733 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1734 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1735 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1736 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1737 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1738 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1739 particular extension is supported.
1742 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1743 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1746 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1747 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1748 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1749 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1750 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1751 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1752 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1753 requires the destination to be valid.
1755 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1756 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1759 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1760 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1761 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1764 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1765 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1767 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1768 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1769 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1770 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1771 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1772 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1773 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1774 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1775 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1776 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1777 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1778 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1779 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1780 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1781 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1782 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1783 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1784 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1785 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1789 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1792 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1793 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1794 become part of libeay.num as well.
1797 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1798 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1799 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1800 false once a handshake has been completed.
1801 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1802 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1803 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1804 client has followed the request.)
1807 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1808 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1809 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1810 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1812 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1813 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1814 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1817 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1820 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1821 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1822 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1825 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1826 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1829 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1830 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1831 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1832 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1835 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1836 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1837 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1838 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1839 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1840 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1843 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1844 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1845 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1846 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1847 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1848 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1849 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1850 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1853 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1854 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1857 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1860 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1861 md_data void pointer.
1864 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1865 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1866 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1867 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1868 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1869 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1872 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1873 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1874 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1875 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1876 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1877 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1878 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1879 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1880 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1881 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1882 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1883 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1884 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1885 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1886 rather than letting it slide.
1888 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1889 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1890 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1893 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1894 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1895 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1896 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1897 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1898 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1899 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1900 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1901 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1904 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1905 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1906 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1907 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1908 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1910 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1913 *) Add EVP test program.
1916 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1919 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1920 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1921 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1922 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1923 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1926 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1927 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1928 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1929 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1930 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1931 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1932 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1934 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1935 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1936 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1941 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1942 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1943 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1944 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1945 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1949 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1950 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1951 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1952 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1955 des_key_schedule ks;
1957 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1958 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1960 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1963 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1964 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1965 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1966 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1967 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1968 functions prevents this.
1971 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1974 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1975 correct _ecb suffix.
1978 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1979 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1980 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1981 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1982 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1985 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1988 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1989 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1990 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1991 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1993 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1994 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1996 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1997 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1998 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1999 via Richard Levitte]
2001 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2002 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2003 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2004 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2007 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2010 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2011 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2025 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2026 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2028 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2029 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2030 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2031 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2032 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2033 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2036 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2037 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2040 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2041 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2042 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2043 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2045 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2046 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2047 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2048 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2049 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2050 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2054 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2055 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2056 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2057 and interrupts/cancellations.
2060 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2061 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2064 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2065 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2066 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2068 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2069 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2073 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2074 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2075 than this minimum value is recommended.
2078 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2079 that are easily reachable.
2082 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2083 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2085 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2087 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2088 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2089 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2090 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2093 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2094 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2095 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2098 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2099 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2100 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2101 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2102 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2103 internally such as S/MIME.
2105 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2106 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2107 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2109 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2113 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2114 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2115 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2116 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2118 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2120 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2122 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2123 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2124 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2128 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2129 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2130 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2131 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2132 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2133 a window system and the like.
2136 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2137 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2140 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2141 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2142 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2143 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2144 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2145 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2146 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2147 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2148 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2152 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2153 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2157 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2158 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2159 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2160 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2161 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2162 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2163 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2164 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2167 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2168 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2169 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2170 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2171 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2172 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2173 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2174 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2175 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2176 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2177 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2178 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2179 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2180 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2181 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2182 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2183 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2186 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2187 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2188 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2189 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2190 internal engine_int.h header.
2193 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2194 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2195 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2196 modify their own ones).
2199 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2200 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2201 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2202 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2203 later on via ctrl() commands.
2204 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2205 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2206 structural references.
2207 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2208 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2209 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2210 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2211 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2212 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2213 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2214 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2215 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2216 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2217 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2218 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2221 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2222 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2223 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2224 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2225 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2226 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2227 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2228 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2231 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2232 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2235 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2236 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2239 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2240 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2241 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2242 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2243 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2244 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2245 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2248 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2249 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2250 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2251 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2252 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2254 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2255 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2259 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2261 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2262 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2263 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2265 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2266 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2268 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2269 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2270 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2272 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2273 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2275 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2276 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2278 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2280 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2281 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2282 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2285 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2286 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2289 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2290 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2291 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2292 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2293 is 40 of more characters long.
2296 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2297 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2301 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2302 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2305 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2306 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2310 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2312 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2313 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2316 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2318 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2319 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2320 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2322 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2323 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2325 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2328 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2332 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2333 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2334 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2335 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2337 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2339 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2340 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2342 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2343 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2344 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2345 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2346 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2347 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2349 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2350 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2352 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2353 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2355 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2356 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2358 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2359 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2360 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2361 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2363 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2364 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2366 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2367 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2369 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2370 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2371 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2372 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2373 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2376 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2377 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2378 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2379 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2382 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2383 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2384 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2388 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2389 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2390 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2391 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2392 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2393 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2394 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2395 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2399 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2400 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2403 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2404 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2405 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2406 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2409 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2410 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2411 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2412 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2413 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2414 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2415 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2416 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2417 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2418 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2421 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2422 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2423 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2424 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2425 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2426 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2427 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2428 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2430 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2431 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2432 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2433 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2436 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2437 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2438 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2439 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2441 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2442 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2443 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2444 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2445 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2449 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2450 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2451 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2452 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2456 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2457 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2458 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2461 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2462 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2463 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2464 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2465 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2468 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2471 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2472 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2473 option to ocsp utility.
2476 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2477 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2478 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2479 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2480 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2481 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2482 the request is nonce-less.
2485 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2486 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2487 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2490 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2491 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2492 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2495 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2496 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2497 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2498 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2499 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2502 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2503 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2507 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2508 additional certificates supplied.
2511 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2512 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2516 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2517 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2520 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2521 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2522 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2523 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2524 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2525 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2526 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2527 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2528 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2530 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2531 request to response.
2534 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2535 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2536 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2537 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2538 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2539 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2540 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2541 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2542 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2543 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2544 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2547 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2548 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2549 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2550 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2553 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2554 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2556 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2557 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2558 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2561 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2562 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2563 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2564 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2565 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2567 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2568 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2569 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2572 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2573 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2574 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2575 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2576 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2577 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2578 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2579 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2581 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2582 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2583 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2584 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2585 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2586 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2589 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2590 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2591 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2592 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2593 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2594 printout format cleaned up.
2597 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2598 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2599 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2600 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2601 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2602 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2603 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2604 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2607 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2608 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2609 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2610 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2611 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2612 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2613 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2614 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2617 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2618 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2619 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2620 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2622 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2624 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2625 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2626 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2627 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2630 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2631 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2632 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2633 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2635 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2637 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2638 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2639 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2640 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2642 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2643 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2645 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2646 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2647 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2650 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2651 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2652 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2655 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2656 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2657 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2658 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2659 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2660 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2661 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2662 functions are provided:
2664 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2665 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2666 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2667 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2669 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2670 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2671 extended allocation function is enabled.
2672 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2673 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2674 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2676 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2677 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2678 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2679 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2680 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2683 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2684 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2685 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2687 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2688 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2689 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2692 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2693 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2694 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2695 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2696 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2697 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2698 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2699 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2700 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2703 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2704 provide utility functions which an application needing
2705 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2706 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2707 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2709 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2710 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2711 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2712 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2713 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2714 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2715 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2716 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2717 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2719 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2720 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2721 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2722 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2725 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2726 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2727 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2728 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2729 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2730 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2731 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2732 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2733 will be added elsewhere.
2736 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2737 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2738 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2739 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2742 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2743 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2744 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2745 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2746 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2747 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2748 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2749 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2750 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2751 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2752 to produce the required SET OF.
2755 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2756 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2757 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2760 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2761 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2762 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2763 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2764 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2765 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2768 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2769 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2770 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2773 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2774 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2775 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2778 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2779 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2780 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2781 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2782 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2785 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2786 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2789 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2790 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2791 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2792 certifcates and CRLs.
2795 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2796 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2797 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2800 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2801 entries for variables.
2804 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2805 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2806 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2807 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2810 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2811 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2812 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2813 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2814 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2815 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2818 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2819 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2821 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2822 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2823 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2826 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2830 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2831 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2832 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2833 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2834 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2835 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2838 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2841 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2842 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2843 for now but they will eventually go away.
2846 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2847 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2848 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2849 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2850 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2851 has also been converted to the new form.
2854 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2855 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2856 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2857 for negative moduli.
2860 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2861 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2864 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2868 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2869 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2870 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2871 type-specific callbacks.
2874 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2876 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2877 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2879 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2880 in sections depending on the subject.
2883 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2887 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2888 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2889 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2890 be handled deterministically).
2891 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2893 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2894 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2895 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2898 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2901 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2902 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2903 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2904 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2905 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2908 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2909 sign of the number in question.
2911 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2913 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2914 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2915 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2916 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2917 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2920 *) New function BN_swap.
2923 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2924 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2925 results on negative inputs.
2928 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2929 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2930 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2933 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2934 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2935 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2936 and add new functions:
2945 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2949 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2951 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2952 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2954 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2955 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2956 be reduced modulo m.
2957 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2960 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2961 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2962 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2964 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2965 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2966 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2967 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2968 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2969 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2974 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2975 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2976 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2977 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2978 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2980 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2981 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2982 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2986 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2989 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2990 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2993 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2994 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2995 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2996 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3000 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3003 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3006 *) Add the following functions:
3008 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3010 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3012 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3014 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3015 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3016 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3017 libraries unless it's really needed.
3019 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3020 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3021 declarations (they differed!).
3024 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3027 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3030 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3033 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3034 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3037 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3038 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3039 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3041 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3042 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3045 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3048 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3051 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3054 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3055 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3056 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3058 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3059 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3060 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3061 different shared library filenames on each system.
3064 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3067 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3068 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3069 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3071 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3074 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3075 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3076 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3077 binary backward compatibility.
3078 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3079 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3080 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3084 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3085 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3086 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3087 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3091 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3094 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3095 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3096 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3097 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3101 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3104 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3106 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3107 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
3108 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3110 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3112 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3114 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3115 certain ASN.1 tags (CAN-2003-0851)
3118 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3120 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3122 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3123 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
3125 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3126 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3130 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3131 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3135 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3136 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3137 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3138 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3140 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3141 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3144 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3146 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3147 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3148 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3149 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3152 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3153 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3154 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3155 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3156 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3158 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3159 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3160 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3161 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3162 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3163 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3164 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3165 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3166 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3169 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3171 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3172 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3173 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3174 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3175 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
3177 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3178 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3179 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3181 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3183 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3184 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3185 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3186 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3187 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3188 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3191 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3192 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3193 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3194 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3195 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3198 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3199 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3200 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3202 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3203 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3204 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3208 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3209 being properly terminated.
3212 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3213 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3214 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3215 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3217 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3218 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3219 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3220 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3221 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3222 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3223 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3225 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3227 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3228 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3231 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3232 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3233 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3234 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3235 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3236 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3237 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3238 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3240 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3241 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3242 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3243 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3244 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3246 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3247 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3250 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3252 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3253 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3254 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3256 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3258 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3259 and get fix the header length calculation.
3260 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3261 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3264 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3265 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3266 assertions could call abort()).
3267 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3269 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3271 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3272 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3273 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3275 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3277 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3278 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3279 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3282 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3286 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3287 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3288 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3290 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3291 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3292 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3293 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3294 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3298 *) Changes in security patch:
3300 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3301 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3302 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3305 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3306 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3307 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3308 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
3309 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3311 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3313 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3315 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3316 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
3317 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3319 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3320 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
3321 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3323 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3324 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
3325 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3327 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3329 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3330 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3331 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3333 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3334 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3336 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3337 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3338 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3339 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3340 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3341 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3344 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3345 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3346 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3347 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3350 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3353 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3354 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3355 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3356 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3357 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3358 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3360 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3361 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3362 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3363 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3364 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3367 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3368 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3369 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3370 BN_generate_prime().)
3372 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3373 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3374 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3378 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3379 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3382 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3383 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3384 when using non-blocking I/O.
3385 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3387 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3388 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3390 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3391 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3394 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3395 configuration for the versions before that.
3396 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3398 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3399 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3400 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3401 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3404 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3405 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3406 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3409 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3413 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3414 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3415 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3417 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3418 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3420 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3421 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3422 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3423 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3424 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3425 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3426 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3429 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3430 using a local variable.
3431 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3433 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3434 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3435 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3437 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3440 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3441 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3443 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3444 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3445 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3447 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3449 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3450 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3451 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3452 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3455 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3459 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3460 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3461 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3462 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3463 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3465 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3466 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3467 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3469 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3470 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3471 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3473 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3474 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3475 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3476 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3478 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3479 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3480 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3482 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3484 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3485 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3487 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3489 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3490 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3491 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3492 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3494 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3495 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3496 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3497 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3499 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3500 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3502 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3503 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3504 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3507 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3508 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3509 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3511 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3513 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3514 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3515 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3516 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3517 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3518 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3519 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3522 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3523 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3524 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3525 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3527 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3528 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3529 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3530 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3531 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3532 the client will at least see that alert.
3535 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3539 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3540 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3541 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3543 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3544 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3545 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3546 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3549 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3550 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3551 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3553 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3554 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3555 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3556 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3557 may leak via logfiles.)
3559 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3560 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3561 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3562 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3566 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3567 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3570 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3571 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3572 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3573 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3574 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3577 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3578 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3580 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3581 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3582 followed by modular reduction.
3583 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3585 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3586 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3589 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3590 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3591 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
