5 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
8 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
9 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
13 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
14 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
17 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
18 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
19 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
22 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
23 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
25 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
26 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
28 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
29 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
30 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
31 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
34 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
35 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
36 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
37 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
38 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
42 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
43 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
44 straightforward and less interdependent.
46 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
47 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
48 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
50 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
51 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
52 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
54 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
55 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
56 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
57 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
59 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
60 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
63 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
64 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
65 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
66 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
70 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
72 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
74 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
75 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
76 before trying to build now.*
79 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
83 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
85 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
86 the application's responsibility. The application provides
87 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
88 used to authenticate the peer.
90 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
91 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
92 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
93 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
94 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
97 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
98 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
99 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
100 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
101 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
102 or the 1.1.0 releases.
104 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
105 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
106 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
107 support for the deprecated features from the library and
108 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
109 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
110 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
111 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
114 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
115 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
116 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
117 compile with later releases.
119 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
120 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
121 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
122 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
123 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
126 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
127 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
128 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
129 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
130 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
131 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
132 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
133 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
136 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
139 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
140 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
141 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
144 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
145 include the ec.h header file instead.
148 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
149 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
150 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
153 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
154 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
157 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
158 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
160 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
161 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
162 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
165 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
166 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
167 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
168 an already created structure.
169 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
170 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
171 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
172 for deprecated builds.
175 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
176 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
177 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
178 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
179 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
180 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
181 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
184 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
185 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
186 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
187 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
190 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
191 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
194 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
195 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
198 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
199 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
200 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
201 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
202 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
203 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
204 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
208 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
209 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
210 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
213 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
216 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
218 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
220 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
222 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
223 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
231 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
232 set a mandatory field to NULL.
234 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
235 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
236 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
240 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
243 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
244 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
245 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
246 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
249 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
250 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
251 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
252 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
255 *) Fix no-stdio build.
256 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
257 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
259 *) New testing framework
260 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
261 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
262 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
263 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
264 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
265 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
267 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
269 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
270 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
274 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
275 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
276 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
277 and others were changed. All are now documented.
280 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
282 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
284 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
285 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
287 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
288 original RSA_PSK patch.
291 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
292 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
293 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
294 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
297 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
298 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
301 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
302 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
303 hasn't been working properly for a while.
306 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
307 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
308 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
309 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
313 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
314 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
315 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
316 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
319 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
320 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
321 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
322 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
323 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
324 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
327 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
328 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
329 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
330 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
331 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
332 header file has been removed.
335 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
336 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
339 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
340 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
341 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
343 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
347 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
350 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
354 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
357 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
358 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
359 initial patch which was a great help during development.
362 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
363 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
364 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
365 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
368 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
369 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
370 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
371 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
372 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
373 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
376 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
377 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
378 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
379 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
382 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
383 compatible client hello.
386 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
387 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
388 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
390 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
393 *) Removed old DES API.
396 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
402 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
407 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
410 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
411 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
412 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
413 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
414 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
415 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
416 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
417 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
418 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
419 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
420 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
423 *) Cleaned up dead code
424 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
427 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
428 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
429 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
432 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
433 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
434 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
437 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
438 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
439 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
441 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
442 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
443 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
445 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
447 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
449 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
450 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
451 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
453 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
454 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
456 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
457 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
460 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
461 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
462 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
463 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
465 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
466 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
467 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
468 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
470 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
471 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
472 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
474 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
475 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
478 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
480 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
481 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
483 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
484 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
486 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
489 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
493 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
494 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
495 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
496 algorithms and include tests cases.
499 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
503 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
504 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
507 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
508 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
510 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
511 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
514 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
515 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
519 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
520 sign or verify all in one operation.
523 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
524 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
525 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
528 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
531 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
534 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
535 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
536 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
537 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
538 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
541 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
545 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
546 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
547 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
550 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
551 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
554 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
557 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
558 POST to handle HMAC cases.
561 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
562 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
565 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
566 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
567 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
570 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
571 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
572 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
573 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
574 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
575 requested amount of entropy.
578 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
579 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
582 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
583 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
584 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
588 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
589 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
590 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
593 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
594 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
595 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
596 will never use XTS mode.
599 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
600 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
601 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
602 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
603 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
604 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
607 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
608 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
609 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
610 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
613 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
614 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
615 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
618 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
621 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
624 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
625 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
628 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
629 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
632 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
633 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
636 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
637 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
638 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
639 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
640 and rename any affected symbols.
643 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
644 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
647 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
648 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
649 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
652 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
655 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
656 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
657 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
660 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
661 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
664 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
665 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
666 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
667 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
668 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
669 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
673 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
674 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
675 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
676 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
677 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
678 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
679 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
680 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
683 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
684 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
687 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
689 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
690 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
692 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
693 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
694 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
695 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
696 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
697 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
699 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
700 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
701 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
703 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
705 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
709 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
710 Add CMAC pkey methods.
713 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
714 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
715 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
718 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
719 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
720 multi-process servers.
723 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
724 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
725 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
726 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
727 RAND_METHOD structure.
730 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
731 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
732 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
733 whose return value is often ignored.
736 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
737 *) DH small subgroups
739 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
740 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
741 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
742 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
743 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
744 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
745 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
746 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
747 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
748 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
750 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
751 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
752 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
753 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
754 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
756 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
757 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
758 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
759 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
761 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
762 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
764 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
768 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
770 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
771 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
772 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
775 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
776 and Sebastian Schinzel.
780 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
782 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
784 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
785 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
786 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
787 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
788 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
789 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
790 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
791 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
792 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
793 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
794 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
795 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
797 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
801 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
803 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
804 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
805 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
806 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
807 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
808 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
809 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
812 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
816 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
818 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
819 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
820 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
821 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
823 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
828 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
829 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
830 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
831 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
834 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
836 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
838 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
840 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
842 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
843 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
844 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
845 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
846 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
847 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
849 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
853 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
855 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
856 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
860 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
862 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
864 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
865 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
868 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
869 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
870 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
871 client authentication enabled.
873 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
877 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
879 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
880 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
881 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
884 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
885 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
886 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
887 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
888 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
891 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
892 independently by Hanno Böck.
896 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
898 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
899 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
900 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
902 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
903 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
904 servers are not affected.
906 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
910 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
912 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
913 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
914 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
916 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
920 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
922 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
923 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
924 a double free of the ticket data.
928 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
929 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
930 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
933 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
935 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
937 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
938 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
939 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
941 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
944 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
946 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
948 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
949 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
950 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
951 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
952 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
953 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
954 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
955 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
957 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
961 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
963 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
964 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
965 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
966 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
967 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
968 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
969 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
970 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
973 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
977 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
979 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
980 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
981 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
982 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
983 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
984 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
988 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
990 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
991 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
992 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
993 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
994 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
995 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
996 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
998 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1002 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1004 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1005 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1006 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1008 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1009 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1010 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1015 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1017 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1018 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1019 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1021 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1022 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1023 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1025 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1029 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1031 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1032 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1033 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1035 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1036 (OpenSSL development team).
1040 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1042 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1043 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1044 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1048 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1050 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1051 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1052 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1053 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1054 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1055 SSL_client_methodv23)
1056 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1057 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1059 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1060 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1061 output may be predictable.
1063 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1064 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1066 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1070 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1072 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1073 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1074 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1075 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1076 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1077 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1079 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1084 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1086 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1087 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1089 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1093 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1096 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1098 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1099 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1100 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
1101 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1102 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1103 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1106 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1107 (other platforms pending).
1108 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1110 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1111 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1114 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1115 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1116 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1119 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1120 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1121 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1122 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1125 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1126 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1128 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1129 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1130 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1131 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1132 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1134 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1137 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1138 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1139 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1140 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1142 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1144 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1146 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1147 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1148 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1151 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1154 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1155 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1156 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1159 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1160 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1163 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1164 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1167 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1168 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1169 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1170 algorithms and include tests cases.
1173 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1175 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1177 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1178 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1181 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1182 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1183 summary of the connection parameters.
1186 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1187 of connection parameters.
1190 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1191 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1193 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1194 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1197 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1200 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1201 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1204 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1205 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1208 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1212 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1213 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1214 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1217 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1220 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1221 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1224 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1225 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1226 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1230 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1231 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1234 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1238 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1242 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1243 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1244 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1245 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1248 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1249 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1252 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1253 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1254 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1258 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1259 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1260 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1261 use the certificate.
1264 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1267 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1268 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1269 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1270 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1271 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1272 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1273 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1275 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1276 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1280 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1281 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1282 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1285 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1286 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1287 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1288 supported signature algorithms.
1291 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1294 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1295 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1296 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1297 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1298 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1299 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1300 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1303 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1304 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1305 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1306 to have similar checks in it.
1308 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1309 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1310 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1311 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1312 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1315 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1316 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1317 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1318 shared signature algorithms.
1321 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1322 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1326 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1327 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1328 it couldn't be removed.
1331 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1332 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1335 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1336 functions. Add manual page.
1337 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1339 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1340 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1344 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1345 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1347 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1348 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1349 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1350 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1354 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1355 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1358 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1359 platform support for Linux and Android.
1362 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1365 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1366 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1367 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1368 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1369 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1372 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1373 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1374 the new parameter format automatically.
1377 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1378 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1381 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1384 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1385 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1386 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1387 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1388 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1391 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1392 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1393 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1394 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1395 to set list of supported curves.
1398 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1399 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1400 to print out received values.
1403 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1404 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1405 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1408 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1409 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1412 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1413 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1416 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1420 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1422 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1423 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1424 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1426 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1428 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1429 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1431 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1433 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1434 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1435 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1436 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1440 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1441 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1442 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1443 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1444 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1445 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1449 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1450 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1451 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1452 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1456 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1459 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1460 reporting this issue.
1464 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1465 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1466 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1467 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1468 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1469 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1473 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1474 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1475 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1476 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1477 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1478 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1479 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1484 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1485 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1487 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1488 and can vary with the CTX.
1491 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1493 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1494 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1495 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1496 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1497 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1499 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1501 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1502 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1504 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1506 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1507 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1508 errors for some broken certificates.
1510 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1512 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1514 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1515 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1517 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1518 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1519 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1520 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1522 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1523 of the OpenSSL core team.
1528 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1529 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1530 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1531 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1532 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1533 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1534 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1535 the OpenSSL core team.
1539 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1540 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1541 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1542 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1543 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1545 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1546 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1547 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1550 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1551 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1552 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1553 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1554 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1556 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1557 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1558 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1561 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1563 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1565 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1566 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1567 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1568 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1569 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1570 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1571 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1573 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1577 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1579 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1580 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1581 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1582 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1583 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1588 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1590 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1591 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1592 configured to send them.
1594 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1596 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1597 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1598 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1600 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1602 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1604 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1605 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1606 DigestInfo structures.
1608 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1612 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1614 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1615 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1616 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1618 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1619 Group for discovering this issue.
1623 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1624 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1625 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1626 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1627 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1629 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1630 researching this issue.
1634 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1635 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1636 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1637 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1639 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1644 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1645 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1646 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1650 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1651 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1652 Denial of Service attack.
1653 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1657 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1658 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1659 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1660 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1665 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1666 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1667 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1669 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1674 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1675 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1676 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1677 Denial of Service attack.
1679 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1680 discovering and researching this issue.
1684 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1685 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1686 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1687 output to the attacker.
1689 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1691 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1693 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1694 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1695 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1698 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1700 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1701 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1702 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1704 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1705 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1706 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1708 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1709 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1712 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1714 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1716 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1717 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1718 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1719 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1721 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1722 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1724 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1725 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1727 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1728 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1729 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1731 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1733 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1735 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1736 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
1737 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1739 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1740 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1742 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1744 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1745 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1748 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1749 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1750 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1751 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1753 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1754 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1755 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1756 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1758 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1759 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1760 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1762 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1764 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1765 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1766 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1767 is at least 512 bytes long.
1769 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1771 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1773 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1774 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1775 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1778 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1779 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1780 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1783 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1784 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1785 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1786 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1787 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1788 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1789 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1791 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1793 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1794 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1795 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1797 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1799 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1801 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1802 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1803 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1805 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1806 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1807 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1808 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1810 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1812 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1813 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1814 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1815 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1816 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1820 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1821 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1824 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1825 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1827 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1828 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1829 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1830 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1831 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1833 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1836 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1840 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1842 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1843 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1845 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1846 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1850 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1851 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1854 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1858 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1860 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1861 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1862 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1863 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1864 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1865 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1866 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1867 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1868 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1869 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1872 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1873 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1874 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1875 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1876 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1877 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1881 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1883 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1884 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1885 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1887 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1888 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1890 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1892 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1895 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1896 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1898 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1899 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1900 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1901 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1902 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1903 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1904 Most broken servers should now work.
1905 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1906 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1909 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1912 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1914 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1915 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1918 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1919 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1920 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1921 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1922 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1925 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1926 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1927 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
1928 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1929 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1932 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1933 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1935 *) Add support for SCTP.
1936 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1938 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1939 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1941 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1943 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1944 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1945 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1946 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1947 - s390x: z196 support;
1948 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1952 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1953 (removal of unnecessary code)
1954 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1956 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1959 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1962 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1963 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1964 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1966 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1968 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1969 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1970 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1971 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1972 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1974 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1975 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1976 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1978 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1979 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1980 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1982 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1983 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1985 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1987 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1988 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1989 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1992 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1993 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1997 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1998 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1999 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2002 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2003 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2004 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2005 the appropriate parameters.
2008 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2009 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2010 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2011 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2012 against a number of sample certificates.
2015 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2016 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2018 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2019 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2021 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2022 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2026 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2030 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2031 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2032 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2033 password based CMS).
2036 *) Session-handling fixes:
2037 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2038 but also support Session Tickets.
2039 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2040 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2041 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2042 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2043 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2044 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2046 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2049 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2051 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2054 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2055 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2056 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2057 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2058 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2061 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2062 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2065 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2066 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2067 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2070 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2071 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2072 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2073 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2076 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2077 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2078 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2081 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2082 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2084 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2087 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2088 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2091 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2094 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2095 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2098 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2099 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2102 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2105 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2106 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2107 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2110 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2113 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2116 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2117 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2120 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2121 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2122 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2125 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2128 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2132 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2133 FIPS modules versions.
2136 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2137 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2138 until after the certificate request message is received.
2141 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2142 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2143 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2144 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2147 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2148 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2149 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2150 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2153 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2154 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2155 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2156 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2157 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2158 and version checking.
2161 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2162 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2163 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2164 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2168 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2170 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2173 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2174 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2175 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2177 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2178 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2179 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2182 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2183 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2185 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2186 a few changes are required:
2188 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2189 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2190 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2191 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2192 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2195 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2197 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2198 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2199 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2200 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2201 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2202 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2203 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2204 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2205 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2208 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2209 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2210 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2213 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2215 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2216 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2217 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2218 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2221 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2223 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2224 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2225 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2226 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2227 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2228 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2229 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2230 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2231 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2232 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2233 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2234 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2235 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2237 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2239 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2241 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2242 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2243 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2244 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2246 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2247 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2249 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2250 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2251 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2252 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2254 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2255 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2257 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2258 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2260 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2261 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2263 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2264 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2265 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2267 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2268 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2269 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2271 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2272 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2273 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2274 the last update always remained unused).
2275 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2277 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2278 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2280 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2282 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2283 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2284 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2286 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2287 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2288 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2290 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2293 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2294 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2295 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2298 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2299 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2301 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2303 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2305 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2307 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2308 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2310 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2311 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2315 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2317 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2318 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2319 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2322 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2323 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2324 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2327 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2329 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2330 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2331 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2334 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2338 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2340 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2342 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2344 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2346 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2347 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2348 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2351 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2354 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2355 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2356 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2358 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2359 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2360 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2363 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2364 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2367 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2368 some responders need this.
2371 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2373 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2375 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2376 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2377 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2380 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2383 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2384 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2385 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2386 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2387 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2388 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2389 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2390 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2393 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2394 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2395 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2396 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2398 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2399 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2401 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2405 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2406 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2407 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2408 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2409 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2410 attempting to work them out.
2413 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2414 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2415 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2416 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2419 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2420 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2421 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2422 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2423 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2426 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2427 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2434 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2436 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2440 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2441 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2443 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2444 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2446 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2447 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2448 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2449 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2450 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2453 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2454 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2455 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2458 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2459 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2462 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2463 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2465 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2466 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2469 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2472 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2473 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2474 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2478 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2479 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2480 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2481 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2482 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2483 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2486 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2487 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2489 This work was sponsored by Google.
2492 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2493 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2494 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2495 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2496 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2497 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2498 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2501 This work was sponsored by Google.
2504 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2506 This work was sponsored by Google.
2509 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2510 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2511 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2512 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2514 This work was sponsored by Google.
2517 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2518 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2519 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2520 CRL functionality in future.
2522 This work was sponsored by Google.
2525 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2527 This work was sponsored by Google.
2530 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2531 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2533 This work was sponsored by Google.
2536 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2537 and URI types are currently supported.
2539 This work was sponsored by Google.
2542 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2543 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2544 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2545 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2546 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2547 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2548 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2549 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2551 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2552 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2553 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2555 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2556 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2557 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2558 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2560 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2561 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2562 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2563 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2564 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2565 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2566 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2567 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2569 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2571 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2572 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2573 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2575 This work was sponsored by Google.
2578 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2581 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2582 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2583 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2586 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2587 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2590 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2591 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2594 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2595 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2596 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2597 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2598 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2599 content types and variants.
2602 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2605 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2606 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2607 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2608 files from the associated perl scripts.
2611 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2612 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2613 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2615 *) s390x assembler pack.
2618 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2622 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2623 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2624 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2625 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2626 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2627 to use. For example, specify an option
2629 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2631 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2632 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2633 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2634 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2635 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2636 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2638 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2639 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2640 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2641 return non-zero for success.
2643 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2646 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2647 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2651 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2654 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2655 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2656 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2657 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2658 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2659 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2660 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2661 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2662 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2664 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2665 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2666 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2667 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2668 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2669 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2671 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2672 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2673 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2674 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2675 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2676 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2680 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2683 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2685 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2686 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2687 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2690 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2691 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2694 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2695 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2696 with no application modification.
2698 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2699 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2701 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2702 or server extensions to be examined.
2704 This work was sponsored by Google.
2707 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2708 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2709 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2711 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2712 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2713 ciphersuite support.
2714 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2716 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2717 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2718 to output in BER and PEM format.
2721 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2722 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2723 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2724 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2725 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2728 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2729 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2730 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2734 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2735 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2736 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2737 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2738 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2739 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2740 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2741 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2744 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2745 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2746 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2747 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2749 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2750 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2751 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2755 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2756 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2757 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2758 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2759 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2760 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2761 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2762 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2763 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2765 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2766 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2767 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2768 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2769 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2770 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2771 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2772 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2773 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2774 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2775 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2778 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2779 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2780 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2782 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2783 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2787 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2788 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2789 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2792 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2793 it yet and it is largely untested.
2796 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2799 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2800 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2801 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2804 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2807 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2808 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2809 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2810 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2813 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2814 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2815 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2816 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2817 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2820 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2821 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2824 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2825 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2826 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2827 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2830 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2831 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2832 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2833 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2836 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2837 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2840 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2841 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2842 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2843 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2846 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2847 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2848 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2851 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2855 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2856 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2859 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2860 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2861 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2865 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2866 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2867 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2870 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2871 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2872 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2873 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2876 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2877 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2878 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2879 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2880 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2881 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2884 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2885 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2886 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2887 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2888 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2890 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2891 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2892 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2893 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2894 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2897 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2898 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2899 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2900 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2902 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2903 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2904 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2905 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2906 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2912 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2913 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2917 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2918 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2921 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2922 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2925 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2926 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2927 functional reference processing.
2930 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2931 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2935 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2936 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2937 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2940 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2941 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2942 application to support multiple signers.
2945 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2949 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2950 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2951 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2952 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2953 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2956 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2960 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2961 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2962 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2963 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2967 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2968 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2969 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2970 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
2971 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2972 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2973 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2974 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2977 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2978 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2979 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2980 between digests and public key types.
2983 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2984 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2985 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2986 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2989 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2990 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2994 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2997 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3001 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3002 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3003 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3004 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3009 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3011 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3013 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3015 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3016 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3017 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3018 functionality for RSA.
3021 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3022 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3023 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3026 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3027 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3030 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3031 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3032 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3035 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3036 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3039 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3040 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3043 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3044 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3048 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3049 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3050 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3054 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3055 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3056 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3057 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3058 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3059 of public and private key structures.
3062 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3063 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3066 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3067 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3068 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3071 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3075 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3076 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3077 SSL_get_psk_identity
3078 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3080 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3082 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3083 and response verification functionality.
3084 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3086 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3087 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3088 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3089 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3090 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3091 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3092 server_name extension.
3094 New functions (subject to change):
3096 SSL_get_servername()
3097 SSL_get_servername_type()
3100 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3102 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3103 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3104 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3105 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3106 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3108 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3110 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3111 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3112 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3113 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3114 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3115 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3118 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3120 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3123 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3124 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3125 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3126 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3127 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3130 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3131 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3135 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3136 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3137 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3138 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3141 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3142 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3143 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3144 using the maximum available value.
3147 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3148 in addition to the text details.
3151 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3152 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3153 handle several customised structures at all.
3156 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3157 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3158 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3161 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3164 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3165 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3166 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3169 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3170 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3171 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3174 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3175 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3179 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3182 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3185 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3187 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3188 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3189 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3190 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3191 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3192 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3193 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3194 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3196 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3197 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3198 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3200 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3202 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3203 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3205 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3206 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3209 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3210 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3211 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3214 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3215 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3216 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3217 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3218 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3219 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3222 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3223 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3224 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3227 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3228 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3229 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3230 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3231 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3232 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3236 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3237 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3240 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3241 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3242 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3245 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3248 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3249 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3250 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3251 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3252 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3253 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3254 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3255 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3256 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3259 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3260 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3261 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3264 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3265 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3268 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3269 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3270 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3271 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3272 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3273 know what you are doing.
3274 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3276 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3277 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3278 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3279 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3280 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3281 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3285 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3286 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3287 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3289 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3291 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3292 warnings in other configurations.
3295 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3296 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3297 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3299 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3301 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3302 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3303 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3305 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3306 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3307 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3308 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3311 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3315 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3316 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3318 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3320 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3321 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3322 other than a simple chain.
3323 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3325 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3326 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3327 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3328 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3331 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3332 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3333 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3334 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3335 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3336 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3337 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3338 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3339 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3341 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3342 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3343 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3344 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3345 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3346 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3348 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3350 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3351 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3354 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3355 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3358 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3360 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3362 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3363 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3364 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3365 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3366 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3370 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3372 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3373 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3374 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3375 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3377 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3378 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3379 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3380 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3382 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3383 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3384 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3387 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3388 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3392 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3393 to handle some structures.
3396 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3398 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3400 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3403 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3406 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3409 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3410 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3414 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3416 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3418 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3420 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3423 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3424 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3425 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3426 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3428 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3429 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3431 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3432 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3435 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3436 s_client and s_server.
3439 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3440 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3442 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3443 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3445 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3446 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3447 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3448 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3449 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3452 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3454 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3455 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3458 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3459 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3462 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3463 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3464 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3465 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3467 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3468 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3470 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3472 *) Various precautionary measures:
3474 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3476 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3477 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3478 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3480 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3481 outside the expected range.
3483 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3486 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3488 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3489 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3490 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3492 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3495 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3498 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3500 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3503 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3504 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3505 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3507 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3510 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3511 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3512 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3516 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3518 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3519 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3520 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3521 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3523 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3524 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3527 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3529 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3530 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3531 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3533 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3535 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3536 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3537 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3538 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3541 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3542 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3543 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3544 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3545 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3546 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3547 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3549 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3551 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3552 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3553 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3554 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3555 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3557 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3558 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3560 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3561 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3562 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3563 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3564 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3566 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3568 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3569 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3570 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3571 sets may exist with different names.
3574 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3575 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3576 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3577 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3578 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3579 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3580 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3581 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3582 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3584 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3586 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3587 implemention in the following ways:
3589 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3592 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3593 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3594 ignored for embedded content.
3596 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3597 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3600 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3601 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3602 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3603 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3605 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3606 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3609 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3610 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3613 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3614 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3615 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3616 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3617 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3618 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3622 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3623 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3624 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3628 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3629 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3630 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3631 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3632 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3633 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3634 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3635 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3637 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3638 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3639 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3640 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3641 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3642 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3643 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3645 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3646 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3647 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3648 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3649 to s_client and s_server.
3652 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3654 *) Fix various bugs:
3655 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3656 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3657 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3658 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3659 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3661 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3663 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3664 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3665 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3666 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3667 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3668 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3669 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3670 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3673 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3674 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3675 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3678 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3679 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3680 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3683 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3684 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3687 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3688 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3689 with no application modification.
3691 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3692 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3694 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3695 or server extensions to be examined.
3697 This work was sponsored by Google.
3700 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3701 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3702 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3703 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3704 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3705 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3706 server_name extension.
3708 New functions (subject to change):
3710 SSL_get_servername()
3711 SSL_get_servername_type()
3714 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3716 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3717 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3718 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3719 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3720 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3722 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3724 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3725 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3726 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3727 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3728 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3729 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3732 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3734 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3737 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3740 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3741 (which previously caused an internal error).
3744 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3747 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3748 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3750 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3751 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3752 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3754 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3755 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3756 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3757 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3759 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3760 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3761 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3762 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3764 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3765 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3766 information. For detailed background information, see
3767 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3768 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3769 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3770 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3771 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3772 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3773 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3774 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3775 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3776 remove a conditional branch.
3778 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3779 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3780 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3781 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3782 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3783 remains as a deprecated alias.
3785 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3786 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3787 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3788 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3790 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3791 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3792 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3793 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3794 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3795 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3796 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3797 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3799 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3801 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3802 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3803 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3804 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3805 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3806 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3807 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3808 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3809 in a different context.
3812 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3813 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3814 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3817 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3818 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3819 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3821 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3823 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3824 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3825 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3826 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3827 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3830 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3831 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3832 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3833 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3834 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3835 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3838 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3839 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3840 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3841 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3842 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3845 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3846 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3848 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3849 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3850 Improve header file function name parsing.
3853 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3854 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3857 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3859 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3860 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3861 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3863 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3864 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3866 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3867 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3869 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3870 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3871 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3873 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3874 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3875 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3876 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3877 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3878 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3879 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3880 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3881 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3883 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3884 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3885 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3886 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3887 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3889 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3890 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3891 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3892 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3893 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3894 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3895 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3896 multiple values to extend the available space.
3900 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3902 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3903 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3905 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3908 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3909 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3910 undesirable limitations.
3911 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3913 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3914 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3915 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3916 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3917 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3918 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3919 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3922 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3924 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3925 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3926 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3928 The latter two were purportedly from
3929 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3932 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3933 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3934 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3937 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3938 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3941 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3942 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3943 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3944 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3946 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3947 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3948 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3951 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3952 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3953 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3954 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3955 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3956 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3959 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3961 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3962 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3965 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3966 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3968 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3969 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3970 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3971 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3974 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3975 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3978 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3979 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3980 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3981 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3982 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3983 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3984 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3988 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3989 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3990 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3991 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3994 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3995 under VC++ build system.
3998 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3999 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4002 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4004 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4005 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4006 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4007 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4008 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4010 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4011 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4012 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4014 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4017 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4018 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4021 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4022 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4024 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4027 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4028 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4030 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4031 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4034 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4035 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4039 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4041 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4044 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4047 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4048 key into the same file any more.
4051 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4054 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4055 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4057 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4058 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4061 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4062 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4063 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4064 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4065 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4066 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4068 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4069 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4070 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4073 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4074 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4075 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4076 - add new function for parameter creation
4077 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4078 BN_BLINDING parameters
4079 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4080 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4081 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4085 *) Add support for DTLS.
4086 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4088 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4089 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4092 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4093 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4096 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4097 the apps/openssl applications.
4100 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4101 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4102 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4105 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4106 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4108 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4109 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4111 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4112 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4113 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4114 avoid this algorithm.)
4118 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4119 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4120 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4123 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4124 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4127 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4128 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4129 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4132 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4134 The blank line is mandatory.
4138 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4139 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4143 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4144 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4146 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4147 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4148 to support policy checking and print out.
4151 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4152 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4153 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4154 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4156 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4159 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4160 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4162 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4163 implementation contributed by IBM.
4164 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4166 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4167 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4168 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4169 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4171 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4172 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4174 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4175 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4176 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4177 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4178 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4179 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4182 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4183 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4184 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4185 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4186 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4187 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4188 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4191 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4194 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4195 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4196 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4197 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4198 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4199 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4200 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4201 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4204 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4205 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4206 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4207 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4210 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4213 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4216 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4217 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4218 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4219 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4220 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4221 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4222 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4225 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4226 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4229 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4230 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4231 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4234 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4235 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4236 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4240 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4241 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4244 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4245 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4246 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4247 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4250 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4251 initialised value as BN_new().
4252 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4254 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4257 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4258 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4259 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4260 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4261 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4262 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4263 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4264 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4265 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4266 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4267 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4268 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4269 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4270 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4271 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4273 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4274 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4275 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4276 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4279 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4280 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4281 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4282 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4283 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4284 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4285 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4286 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4287 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4290 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4291 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4292 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4293 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4294 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4295 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4296 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4299 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4300 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4301 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4302 these have been updated also.
4305 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4306 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4307 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4308 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4309 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4313 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4314 structure of type "other".
4317 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4318 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4319 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4320 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4321 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4322 situation in the script.
4323 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4325 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4326 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4327 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4328 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4329 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4330 used as premaster secret.
4331 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4333 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4334 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4335 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4337 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4338 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4340 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4341 control of the error stack.
4344 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4347 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4348 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4349 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4350 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4353 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4354 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4355 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4358 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4359 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4360 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4364 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4365 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4366 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4367 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4370 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4371 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4372 the following flags are defined:
4374 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4375 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4376 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4379 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4380 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4381 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4382 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4386 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4387 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4388 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4389 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4390 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4393 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4394 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4395 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4398 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4399 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4400 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4401 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4402 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4403 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4406 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4410 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4413 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4416 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4419 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4420 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4421 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4422 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4423 default implementation more easily.
4426 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4430 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4431 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4434 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4435 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4436 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4437 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4439 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4440 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4441 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4442 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4445 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4446 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4450 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4451 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4452 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4453 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4454 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4455 scalar * generator).
4456 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4458 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4459 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4460 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4464 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4465 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4466 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4467 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4468 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4469 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4470 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4471 linker additions, eg;
4472 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4475 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4476 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4477 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4480 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4481 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4482 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4486 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4487 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4488 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4489 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4492 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4493 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4494 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4495 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4496 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4497 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4498 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4499 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4500 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4501 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4503 Example for using the new callback interface:
4505 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4509 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4511 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4512 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4513 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4514 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4515 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4516 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4521 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4522 available to TLS with the number defined in
4523 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4526 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4527 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4529 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4530 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4531 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4532 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4534 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4535 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4537 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4538 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4542 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4543 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4546 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4547 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4548 and a macro that behave like
4549 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4551 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4554 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4555 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4556 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4558 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4560 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4563 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4564 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4565 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4566 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4568 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4569 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4570 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4571 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4572 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4573 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4574 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4575 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4577 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4578 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
4581 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4582 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4584 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4585 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4586 files while avoiding the low level API.
4588 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4589 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4590 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4591 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4593 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4594 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4595 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4596 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4597 instead of the low level API.
4600 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4601 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4602 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4603 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4604 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4607 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4608 down to the template encoder.
4611 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4612 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4615 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4616 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4617 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4618 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4620 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4621 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4623 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4624 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4626 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4627 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4630 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4631 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4632 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4635 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4636 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4638 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4639 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4641 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4642 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4645 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4649 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4650 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4651 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4652 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4653 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4654 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4656 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4657 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4660 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4661 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4662 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4663 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4664 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4665 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4666 various internal method names.)
4668 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4669 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4671 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4672 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4674 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4675 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4677 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4678 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4679 methods are undefined.
4681 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4682 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4684 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4685 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4686 length of the modulus.
4688 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4689 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4691 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4692 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4694 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4695 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4697 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4698 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4699 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4702 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4703 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4704 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4705 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4707 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4708 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4709 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4710 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4712 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4713 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4715 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4716 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4717 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4718 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4719 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4721 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4722 This applies to the following functions:
4727 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4728 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4730 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4731 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4735 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4740 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4742 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4743 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4744 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4745 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4746 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4748 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4749 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4751 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4752 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4753 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4755 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4756 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4758 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4759 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4760 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4761 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4762 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4764 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4766 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4767 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4768 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4769 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4770 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4771 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4772 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4773 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4774 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4775 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4776 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4777 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4779 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4782 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4783 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4784 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4785 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4787 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4788 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4789 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4790 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4795 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4796 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4797 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4798 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4799 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4801 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4802 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4803 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4804 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4805 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4806 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4807 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4808 adding different types of curves.
4809 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4811 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4812 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4813 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4816 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4817 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4819 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4820 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4821 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4822 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4824 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4826 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4827 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4829 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4830 library. Most notably,
4831 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4832 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4833 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4834 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4835 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4836 extracted before the specific public key;
4837 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4838 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4840 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4841 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4843 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4844 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4845 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4846 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4848 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4849 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4850 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4852 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4853 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4854 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4855 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4856 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4857 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4861 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4863 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4865 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4867 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4868 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4869 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4872 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4873 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4874 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4877 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4880 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4881 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4884 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4885 run algorithm test programs.
4888 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4891 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4892 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4893 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4894 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4895 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4898 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4899 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4902 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4904 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4905 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4906 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4908 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4909 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4911 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4912 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4914 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4915 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4916 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4918 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4919 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4920 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4921 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4922 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4923 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4924 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4927 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4929 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4930 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4932 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4933 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4934 undesirable limitations.
4935 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4937 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4939 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4940 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4941 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4943 The latter two were purportedly from
4944 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4947 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4948 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4949 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4952 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4953 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4956 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4958 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4959 module in FIPS mode.
4962 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4965 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4966 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4967 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4968 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4971 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4973 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4974 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4975 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4976 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4977 the difference induced by this change.
4980 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4982 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4983 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4984 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4985 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4986 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4988 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4989 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4990 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4992 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4993 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4996 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4997 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4998 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4999 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5003 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5004 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5005 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5006 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5007 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5009 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5010 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5011 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5012 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5013 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5014 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5016 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5018 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5019 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5020 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5021 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5022 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5025 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5029 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5030 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5031 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5034 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5035 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5036 structures constant.
5039 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5041 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5044 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5045 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5046 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5047 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5048 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5049 some needed definitions.
5052 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5055 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5056 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5057 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
5058 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5061 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5063 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5064 server and client random values. Previously
5065 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5066 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5068 This change has negligible security impact because:
5070 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5073 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5076 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5077 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5080 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5083 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5085 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5088 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5089 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5090 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5092 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5095 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5096 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5099 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5100 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5101 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5103 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5106 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5107 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
5108 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
5112 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5113 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5114 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5115 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5117 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5118 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5119 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5120 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5124 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5126 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5127 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5128 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5129 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5130 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5133 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5136 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5137 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5139 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5140 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5141 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5142 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5143 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5144 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5145 rather than being initialized to 1.
5148 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5150 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5151 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5152 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5154 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5156 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5158 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5159 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5160 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5161 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5162 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5163 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5166 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5167 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5168 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5169 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5170 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5174 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5175 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5176 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5177 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5178 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5181 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5182 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5183 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5187 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5188 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5190 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5193 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5195 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5197 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5198 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5200 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5202 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5203 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5207 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5208 exiting on the first error in a request.
5211 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5212 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5216 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5217 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5218 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5219 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5221 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5222 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5225 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5226 blocks during encryption.
5229 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5230 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5231 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5232 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5236 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5237 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5238 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5239 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5240 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5244 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5246 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5247 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5248 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5249 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5252 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5253 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5254 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5255 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5256 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5258 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5259 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5260 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5261 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5262 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5263 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5264 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5265 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5266 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5269 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5270 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5271 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5272 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5275 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5276 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5279 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5281 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5282 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5283 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5284 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5285 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5287 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5288 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5289 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5291 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5292 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5293 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5294 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5295 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5297 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5298 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5299 used by default when no-err is given.
5302 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5303 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5305 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5306 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5307 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5308 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5309 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5311 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5312 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5313 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5314 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5316 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5318 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5320 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5322 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5323 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5324 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5325 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5329 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5330 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5332 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5333 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5336 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5337 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5338 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5339 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5342 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5343 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5344 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5345 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5346 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5347 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5348 followup to PR #377.
5351 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5352 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5355 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5356 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5357 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

5362 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5365 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5366 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5367 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5368 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5370 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

5375 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5379 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5380 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5381 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5382 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5383 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5384 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5386 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5387 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5388 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5389 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5390 have to be made anyway).
5393 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5394 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5395 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5398 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5399 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5400 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5403 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5404 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5405 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5407 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5408 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5409 edit numbers of the version.
5410 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]

5414 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5416 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5417 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5419 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5420 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

5432 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5433 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5435 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer

5439 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5440 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).

5443 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5444 representations in a platform independent manner.

5447 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5448 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

5458 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half

5498 the 0.9.6 release series:
5500 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5501 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5503 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]

5523 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5524 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5525 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5526 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5528 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5529 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5530 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5533 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5534 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5535 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5536 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5537 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5538 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5539 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5540 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5543 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5544 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
5545 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5548 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5549 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5550 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5551 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5552 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5554 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5555 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5557 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5558 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5561 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5562 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5563 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5564 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5565 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5566 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5569 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5570 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5571 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5574 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5575 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5578 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5579 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5580 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5581 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5582 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5583 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5584 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5587 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5588 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5589 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5590 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5591 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5592 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5595 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5596 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5597 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5598 declaration has been changed from
5601 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5602 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5603 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5604 has been changed into
5605 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5607 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5608 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5609 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5611 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5612 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5614 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5615 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5616 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5617 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5618 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5619 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5620 always load it have also been added.
5623 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5624 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5625 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5627 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5629 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5630 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5631 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5633 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5634 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5635 command line option can be used to specify an
5639 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5640 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5643 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5644 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5645 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5648 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5649 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5650 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5651 to work with the new engine framework.
5652 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5654 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5655 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5656 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5657 to work with the new engine framework.
5660 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5661 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5662 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5664 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5665 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5667 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5668 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5669 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5670 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5672 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5674 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5675 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5677 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5678 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5680 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5681 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5682 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5685 *) Add new functions
5687 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5688 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5689 These are similar to
5692 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5693 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5694 still in the error queue.
5695 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5697 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5699 default_algorithms = ALL
5700 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5703 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
5706 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5709 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5710 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5711 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5712 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5714 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5715 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5717 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5718 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5720 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5721 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5724 *) New functions/macros
5726 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5727 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5728 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5729 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5731 to request calling a callback function
5733 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5734 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5736 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5737 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5738 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5739 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5740 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5741 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5742 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5743 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5744 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5745 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5747 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5748 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5751 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5752 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5753 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5754 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5755 the configuration scripts.
5757 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5758 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5759 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5761 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5762 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5764 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5765 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5766 when reusing an existing buffer.
5769 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5770 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5773 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5774 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5777 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5778 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5779 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5780 has the same effect.
5781 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5783 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5784 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5785 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5786 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5787 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5788 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5791 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5792 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5793 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5794 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5796 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5797 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5798 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5799 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5801 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5802 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5805 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5806 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5807 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5808 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5809 default), and then completely removed.
5812 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5813 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5814 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5815 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5816 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5817 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5818 particular extension is supported.
5821 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5822 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5825 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5826 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5827 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5828 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5829 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5830 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5831 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5832 requires the destination to be valid.
5834 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5835 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5838 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5839 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5840 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5843 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5844 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5846 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5847 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5848 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5849 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5850 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5851 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5852 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5853 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5854 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5855 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5856 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5857 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5858 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5859 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5860 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5861 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5862 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5863 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5864 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5868 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5871 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5872 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5873 become part of libeay.num as well.
5876 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5877 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5878 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
5879 false once a handshake has been completed.
5880 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5881 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5882 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5883 client has followed the request.)
5886 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5887 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5888 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5889 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5891 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5892 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5893 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5896 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5899 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5900 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5901 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5904 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5905 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5908 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5909 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5910 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5911 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5914 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5915 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5916 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5917 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5918 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5919 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5922 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5923 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5924 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5925 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5926 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5927 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5928 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5929 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5932 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5933 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5936 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5939 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5940 md_data void pointer.
5943 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5944 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5945 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5946 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5947 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5948 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5951 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5952 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5953 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5954 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5955 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5956 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5957 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5958 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5959 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5960 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5961 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5962 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5963 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5964 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5965 rather than letting it slide.
5967 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5968 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5969 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5972 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5973 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5974 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5975 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5976 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5977 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5978 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5979 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5980 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5983 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5984 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5985 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5986 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5987 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5989 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5992 *) Add EVP test program.
5995 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5998 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5999 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6000 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6001 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6002 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6005 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6006 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6007 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6008 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6009 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6010 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6011 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6013 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6014 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6015 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6020 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6021 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6022 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6023 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6024 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6028 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6029 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6030 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6031 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6034 des_key_schedule ks;
6036 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6037 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6039 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6042 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6043 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6044 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6045 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6046 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6047 functions prevents this.
6050 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6053 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6054 correct _ecb suffix.
6057 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6058 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6059 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6060 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6061 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6064 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6067 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6068 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6069 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6070 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6072 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6073 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6075 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

6080 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6081 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6082 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6083 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6086 *) Speed up EVP routines.

6104 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6105 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6107 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6108 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6109 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6110 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6111 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6112 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6115 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6116 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6119 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6120 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6121 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6122 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6124 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6125 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6126 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6127 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6128 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6129 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6133 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6134 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6135 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6136 and interrupts/cancellations.
6139 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6140 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6143 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6144 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6145 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6147 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6148 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6152 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6153 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6154 than this minimum value is recommended.
6157 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6158 that are easily reachable.
6161 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6162 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6164 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6166 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6167 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6168 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6169 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6172 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6173 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6174 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6177 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6178 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6179 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6180 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6181 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6182 internally such as S/MIME.
6184 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6185 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6186 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6188 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6192 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6193 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6194 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6195 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6197 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6199 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6201 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6202 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6203 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6207 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6208 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6209 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6210 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6211 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6212 a window system and the like.
6215 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6216 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6219 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6220 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6221 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6222 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6223 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6224 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6225 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6226 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6227 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6231 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6232 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6236 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6237 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6238 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6239 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6240 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6241 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6242 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6243 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6246 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6247 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6248 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6249 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6250 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6251 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6252 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6253 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6254 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6255 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6256 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6257 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6258 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6259 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6260 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6261 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6262 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6265 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6266 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6267 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6268 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6269 internal engine_int.h header.
6272 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6273 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6274 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6275 modify their own ones).
6278 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6279 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6280 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6281 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6282 later on via ctrl() commands.
6283 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6284 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6285 structural references.
6286 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6287 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6288 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6289 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6290 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6291 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6292 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6293 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6294 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6295 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6296 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6297 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6300 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6301 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6302 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6303 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6304 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6305 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6306 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6307 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6310 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6311 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6314 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6315 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6318 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6319 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6320 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6321 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6322 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6323 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6324 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6327 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6328 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6329 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6330 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6331 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6333 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6334 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6338 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6340 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6341 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6342 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6344 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6345 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6347 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6348 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6349 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6351 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6352 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6354 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6355 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6357 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6359 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6360 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6361 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6364 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6365 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6368 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6369 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6370 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6371 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6372 is 40 of more characters long.
6375 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6376 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6380 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6381 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6384 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6385 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6389 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6391 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6392 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6395 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6397 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6398 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6399 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6401 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6402 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6404 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6407 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6411 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6412 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6413 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6414 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6416 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6418 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6419 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6421 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6422 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6423 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6424 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6425 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6426 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6428 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6429 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6431 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6432 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6434 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6435 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6437 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6438 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6439 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6440 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6442 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6443 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6445 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6446 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6448 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6449 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6450 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6451 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6452 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6455 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6456 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6457 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6458 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6461 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6462 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6463 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6467 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6468 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6469 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6470 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6471 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6472 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6473 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6474 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6478 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6479 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6482 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6483 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6484 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6485 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6488 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6489 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6490 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6491 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6492 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6493 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6494 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6495 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6496 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6497 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6500 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6501 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6502 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6503 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6504 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6505 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6506 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6507 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6509 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6510 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6511 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6512 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6515 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6516 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6517 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6518 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6520 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6521 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6522 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6523 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6524 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6528 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6529 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6530 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6531 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6535 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6536 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6537 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6540 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6541 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6542 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6543 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6544 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6547 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6550 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6551 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6552 option to ocsp utility.
6555 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6556 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6557 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6558 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6559 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6560 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6561 the request is nonce-less.
6564 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6565 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6566 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6569 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6570 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6571 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6574 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6575 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6576 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6577 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6578 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6581 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6582 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6586 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6587 additional certificates supplied.
6590 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6591 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6595 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6596 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6599 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6600 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6601 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6602 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6603 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6604 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6605 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6606 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6607 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6609 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6610 request to response.
6613 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6614 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6615 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6616 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6617 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6618 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6619 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6620 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6621 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6622 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6623 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6626 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6627 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6628 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6629 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6632 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6633 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6635 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6636 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6637 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6640 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6641 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6642 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6643 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6644 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6646 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6647 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6648 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6651 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6652 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6653 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6654 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6655 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6656 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6657 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6658 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6660 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6661 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6662 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6663 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6664 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6665 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6668 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6669 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6670 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6671 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6672 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6673 printout format cleaned up.
6676 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6677 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6678 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6679 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6680 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6681 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6682 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6683 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6686 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6687 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6688 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6689 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6690 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6691 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6692 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6693 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6696 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6697 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6698 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6699 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6701 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6703 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6704 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6705 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6706 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6709 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6710 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6711 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6712 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6714 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6716 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6717 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6718 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6719 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6721 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6722 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6724 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6725 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6726 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6729 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6730 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6731 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6734 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6735 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6736 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6737 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6738 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6739 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6740 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6741 functions are provided:
6743 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6744 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6745 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6746 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6748 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6749 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6750 extended allocation function is enabled.
6751 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6752 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6753 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6755 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6756 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6757 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6758 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6759 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6762 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6763 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6764 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6766 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6767 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6768 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6771 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6772 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6773 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6774 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6775 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6776 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6777 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6778 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6779 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6782 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6783 provide utility functions which an application needing
6784 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6785 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6786 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6788 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6789 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6790 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6791 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6792 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6793 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6794 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6795 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6796 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6798 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6799 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6800 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6801 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6804 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6805 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6806 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6807 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6808 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6809 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6810 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6811 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6812 will be added elsewhere.
6815 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6816 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6817 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6818 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6821 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6822 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6823 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6824 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6825 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6826 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6827 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6828 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6829 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6830 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6831 to produce the required SET OF.
6834 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6835 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6836 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6839 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6840 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6841 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6842 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6843 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6844 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6847 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6848 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6849 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6852 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6853 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6854 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6857 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6858 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6859 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6860 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6861 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6864 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6865 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6868 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6869 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6870 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6871 certifcates and CRLs.
6874 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6875 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6876 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6879 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
6880 entries for variables.
6883 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6884 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6885 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6886 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6889 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6890 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6891 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6892 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6893 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6894 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6897 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6898 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6900 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6901 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6902 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6905 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6909 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6910 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6911 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6912 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6913 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6914 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6917 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6920 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6921 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6922 for now but they will eventually go away.
6925 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6926 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6927 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6928 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6929 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6930 has also been converted to the new form.
6933 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6934 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6935 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6936 for negative moduli.
6939 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6940 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6943 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6947 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6948 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6949 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6950 type-specific callbacks.
6953 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6955 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6956 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6958 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6959 in sections depending on the subject.
6962 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6966 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6967 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6968 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6969 be handled deterministically).
6970 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6972 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6973 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6974 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6977 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6980 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6981 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6982 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6983 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6984 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6987 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6988 sign of the number in question.
6990 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6992 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6993 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6994 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6995 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6996 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6999 *) New function BN_swap.
7002 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7003 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7004 results on negative inputs.
7007 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7008 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7009 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7012 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7013 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7014 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7015 and add new functions:
7024 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7028 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7030 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7031 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7033 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7034 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7035 be reduced modulo m.
7036 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7039 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7040 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7041 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7043 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7044 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7045 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7046 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7047 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7048 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7053 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7054 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7055 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7056 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7057 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7059 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7060 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7061 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7065 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7068 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7069 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7072 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7073 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7074 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7075 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7079 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7082 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7085 *) Add the following functions:
7087 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7089 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7091 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7093 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7094 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7095 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7096 libraries unless it's really needed.
7098 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7099 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7100 declarations (they differed!).
7103 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7106 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7109 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7112 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7113 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7116 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7117 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7118 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7120 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7121 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7124 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7127 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7130 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7133 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7134 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7135 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7137 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7138 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7139 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7140 different shared library filenames on each system.
7143 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7146 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7147 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7148 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7150 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7153 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7154 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7155 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7156 binary backward compatibility.
7157 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7158 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7159 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7163 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7164 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7165 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7166 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7170 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7173 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7174 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7175 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7176 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7180 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7183 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7185 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7186 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7187 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7189 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7191 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7193 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7194 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7197 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7199 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7201 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7202 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7204 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7205 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7209 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7210 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7214 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7215 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7216 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7217 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7219 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7220 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7223 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7225 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7226 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7227 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7228 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7231 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7232 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7233 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7234 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7235 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7237 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7238 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7239 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7240 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7241 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7242 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7243 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7244 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7245 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7248 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7250 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7251 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7252 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7253 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7254 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7256 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7257 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7258 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7260 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7262 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7263 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7264 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7265 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7266 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7267 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7270 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7271 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7272 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7273 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7274 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7277 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7278 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7279 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7281 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7282 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7283 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7287 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7288 being properly terminated.
7291 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7292 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7293 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7294 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7296 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7297 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7298 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7299 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7300 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7301 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7302 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7304 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7306 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7307 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7310 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7311 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7312 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7313 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7314 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7315 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7316 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7317 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7319 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7320 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7321 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7322 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7323 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7325 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7326 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7329 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7331 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7332 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7333 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7335 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7337 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7338 and get fix the header length calculation.
7339 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7340 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7343 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7344 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7345 assertions could call abort()).
7346 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7348 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7350 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7351 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7352 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7354 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7356 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7357 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7358 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7361 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7365 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7366 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7367 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7369 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7370 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7371 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7372 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7373 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7377 *) Changes in security patch:
7379 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7380 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7381 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7384 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7385 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7386 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7387 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7388 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7390 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7392 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7394 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7395 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7396 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7398 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7399 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7400 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7402 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7403 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7404 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7406 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7408 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7409 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7410 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7412 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7413 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7415 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7416 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7417 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7418 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7419 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7420 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7423 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7424 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7425 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7426 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7429 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7432 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7433 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7434 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7435 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7436 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7437 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7439 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7440 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7441 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7442 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7443 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7446 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7447 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7448 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7449 BN_generate_prime().)
7451 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7452 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7453 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7457 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7458 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7461 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7462 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7463 when using non-blocking I/O.
7464 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7466 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7467 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7469 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7470 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7473 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7474 configuration for the versions before that.
7475 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7477 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7478 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7479 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7480 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7483 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7484 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7485 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7488 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7492 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7493 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7494 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7496 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7497 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7499 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7500 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7501 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7502 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7503 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7504 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7505 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7508 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7509 using a local variable.
7510 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7512 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7513 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7514 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7516 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7519 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7520 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7522 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7523 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7524 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7526 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7528 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7529 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7530 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7531 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7534 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7538 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7539 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7540 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7541 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7542 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7544 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7545 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7546 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7548 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7549 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7550 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7552 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7553 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7554 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7555 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7557 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7558 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7559 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7561 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7563 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7564 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7566 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7568 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7569 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7570 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7571 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7573 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7574 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7575 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7576 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7578 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7579 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7581 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7582 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7583 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7586 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7587 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7588 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7590 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7592 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7593 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7594 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7595 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7596 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7597 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7598 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7601 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7602 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7603 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7604 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7606 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7607 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7608 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7609 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7610 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7611 the client will at least see that alert.
7614 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7618 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7619 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7620 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7622 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7623 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
7624 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7625 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7628 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7629 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7630 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7632 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7633 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7634 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7635 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7636 may leak via logfiles.)
7638 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7639 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7640 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7641 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7645 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7646 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7649 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7650 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7651 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7652 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7653 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7656 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7657 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7659 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7660 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7661 followed by modular reduction.
7662 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
7664 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
7665 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
7668 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
7669 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
7670 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
7671 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
7674 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
7677 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
7678 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
7681 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
7682 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
7683 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
7684 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
7685 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
7686 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
7688 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
7690 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
7691 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
7692 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
7693 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
7694 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
7696 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
7699 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
7700 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
7701 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
7702 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
7703 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
7704 to allow the necessary settings.
7707 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
7708 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
7709 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
7710 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
7713 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
7714 dh->length and always used
7716 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
7718 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
7719 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
7720 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
7721 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
7722 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
7727 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
7729 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
7735 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
7736 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
7737 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
7738 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
7740 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
7741 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
7742 always reject numbers >= n.
7745 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
7746 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
7747 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
7748 variable) is not atomic.
7751 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7752 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7753 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7754 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7756 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7757 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7759 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7761 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7763 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7766 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7768 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7769 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7770 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7771 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7772 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7773 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7774 to traverse all of 'state'.
7776 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7777 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7778 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7780 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7781 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7783 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7784 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7785 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7786 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7787 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7788 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7789 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7790 further strengthens the PRNG.
7793 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7796 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7797 an error message in this case.
7800 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7803 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7804 positive and less than q.
7807 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7808 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7810 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7812 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7813 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7817 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7819 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7820 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7821 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7822 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7823 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7824 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7825 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7828 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7829 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7830 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7831 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7833 Both problems are now fixed.
7836 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7837 (previously it was 1024).
7840 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7841 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7844 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7847 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7848 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7849 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7852 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7853 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7854 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7855 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7856 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7857 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7858 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7859 environment variables.
7861 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7862 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7863 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7866 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7867 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7868 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7869 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7870 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7871 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7874 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7878 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7880 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7881 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7883 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7884 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7885 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7886 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7890 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7891 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7892 amount of data available.
7893 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7894 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7896 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7897 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7898 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7899 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7902 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7903 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7907 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7908 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7909 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7910 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7913 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7916 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7919 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7920 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7922 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7924 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7925 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7926 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7927 (but broken) behaviour.
7930 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7932 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7934 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7935 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7938 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7942 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7943 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7945 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7948 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7949 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7950 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7952 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7953 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7954 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7957 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7958 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7961 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7962 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7964 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7966 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7968 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7969 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7970 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7971 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7974 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7977 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7978 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7979 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7981 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7984 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7986 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7987 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7988 but the code is actually correct.
7991 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7992 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7993 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7994 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7995 and leaves the highest bit random.
7996 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7998 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7999 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8000 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8001 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8002 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8003 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8004 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8007 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8010 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8011 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8014 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8015 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8016 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8017 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8021 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8022 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8023 and break the signature.
8025 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8027 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8031 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8032 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8033 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8034 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8035 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8038 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8039 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8041 *) ./config script fixes.
8042 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8044 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8047 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8048 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8049 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8050 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8051 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8053 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8054 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8057 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8058 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8061 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8062 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8063 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8064 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8066 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8067 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8069 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8070 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8071 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8072 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8073 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8075 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8078 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8081 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8084 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8087 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8088 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8091 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8092 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8093 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8094 result of the server certificate verification.)
8097 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8098 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8099 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8103 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8104 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8105 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8106 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8107 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8108 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8109 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8110 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8113 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8114 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8115 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8116 happening the other way round.
8119 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8120 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8123 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8124 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8125 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8126 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8129 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8130 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8132 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8134 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8135 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8136 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8139 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8141 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8143 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8147 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8149 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8150 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8151 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8152 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8153 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8155 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8156 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8160 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8163 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8165 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8166 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8167 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8168 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8169 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8170 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8171 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8172 by the Finished messages.
8175 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8176 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8178 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8179 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8180 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8181 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8182 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8186 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8187 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8188 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8189 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8190 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8191 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8192 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8193 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8194 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8198 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8199 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8200 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8201 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8203 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8204 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8205 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8206 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8207 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8210 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8211 been tested well enough.
8214 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8215 it can return incorrect results.
8216 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8217 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8220 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8221 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8222 include zero length content when signing messages.
8225 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8226 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8229 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8232 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8236 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8237 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8238 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8239 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8240 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8241 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8244 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8245 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8247 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8248 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8250 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8251 random number < q in the DSA library.
8254 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8255 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8256 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8257 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8258 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8259 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8260 just makes things more complicated.)
8263 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8267 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8268 work better on such systems.
8269 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8271 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8272 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8273 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8276 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8277 if there was more than one signature.
8278 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8280 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8281 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8282 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8283 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8286 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8287 rather than always using the current time.
8290 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8291 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8292 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8293 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8294 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8295 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8297 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8298 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8300 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8302 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8303 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8304 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8305 the same hash value.
8307 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8308 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8309 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8310 with X509_STORE internally.
8312 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8313 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8315 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8316 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8317 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8318 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8319 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8320 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8321 entirely (maybe later...).
8323 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8325 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8326 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8327 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8328 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8329 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8330 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8331 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8332 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8334 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8335 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8337 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8338 to customise the verify behaviour.
8341 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8342 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8345 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8346 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8347 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8348 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8349 request is improperly encoded.
8352 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8353 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8356 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8357 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8359 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8360 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8364 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8365 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8366 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8369 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8370 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8371 BIO/fp routines also added.
8374 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8375 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8377 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8378 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8379 demos/state_machine.
8382 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8383 generation and verification.
8386 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8387 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8388 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8389 encode and decode it manually.
8392 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8394 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8396 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8397 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8398 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8399 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8401 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8402 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8403 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8404 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8405 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8408 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8411 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8412 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8413 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8415 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8416 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8417 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8418 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8419 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8420 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8421 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8422 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8424 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8425 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8427 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8429 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8430 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8431 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8435 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8436 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8437 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8438 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8442 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8444 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8447 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8448 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8449 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8450 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8451 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8452 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8453 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8454 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8455 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8456 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8457 short or long names are found.
8460 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8461 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8463 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8464 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8465 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8466 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8468 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8469 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8470 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8471 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8474 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8475 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8476 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8479 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8480 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8481 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8482 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8483 to allow the various flags to be set.
8486 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8487 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8488 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8489 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8490 dates to be checked.
8493 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8494 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8495 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8498 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8499 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8500 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8503 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8504 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8507 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8508 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8509 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8510 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8511 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8512 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8515 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8516 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8520 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8524 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8525 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8526 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8527 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8528 form signing output easier to verify.
8531 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8534 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8535 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8536 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8537 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8538 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8539 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8540 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8541 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8542 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8543 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8546 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8548 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8549 the syntax given in objects.README.
8550 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8552 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8555 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8556 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8557 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8558 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8559 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8560 consistent name changes.
8563 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8566 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8567 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8568 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8569 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8572 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8573 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8574 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8578 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8579 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8580 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8581 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8584 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8585 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8586 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8587 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8588 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8589 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8590 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8591 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8592 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8593 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8594 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8597 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8598 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8599 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8600 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
8601 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8602 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8603 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8604 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8605 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8606 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8609 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8610 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8611 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8612 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8614 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8615 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8616 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8617 omit any duplicate addresses.
8620 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8621 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8624 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8625 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8626 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8627 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8628 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8631 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8633 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8634 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8635 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8636 Free => OPENSSL_free
8639 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8640 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8643 *) CygWin32 support.
8644 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8646 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8647 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8648 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8649 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8650 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8654 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8655 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8656 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8657 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8658 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8659 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8660 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8663 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
8664 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
8665 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
8666 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
8667 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
8668 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
8669 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
8670 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
8671 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
8672 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
8673 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
8676 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
8677 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
8678 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
8679 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
8680 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
8682 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
8683 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
8684 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
8685 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
8686 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
8688 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
8691 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
8692 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
8693 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
8694 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
8696 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
8698 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
8701 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
8702 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
8703 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
8706 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
8707 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
8708 any installed hardware versions can.
8711 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
8712 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
8713 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
8717 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
8718 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
8719 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
8720 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
8721 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
8723 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
8724 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
8727 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
8728 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
8731 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
8732 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
8733 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
8737 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
8740 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
8741 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
8742 but no ssl client purpose.
8743 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
8745 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
8746 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
8747 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
8748 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
8749 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
8750 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8751 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8752 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8753 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8754 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8755 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8758 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8759 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8760 be obtained from the error queue.
8763 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8764 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8765 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8766 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8769 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8772 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8773 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8774 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8775 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8776 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8779 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8780 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8781 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8782 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8783 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8786 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8787 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8788 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8790 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8792 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8793 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8794 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8795 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8796 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8797 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8798 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8799 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8800 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8801 or "the configuration storage API"...
8803 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8805 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8806 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8808 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8810 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8812 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8813 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8814 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8815 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8816 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8817 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8818 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8820 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8821 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8824 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8825 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8826 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8827 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8830 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8831 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8832 them in a portable way.
8833 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8835 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8837 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8839 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8840 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8842 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8843 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8844 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8847 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8848 was larger than the MD block size.
8849 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8851 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8852 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8853 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8854 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8858 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8859 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8860 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8862 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8864 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8866 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8867 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8868 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8869 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8870 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8871 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8873 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8874 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8876 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8877 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8880 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8883 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8884 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8886 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8887 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8888 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
8889 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8892 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8893 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8894 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8895 does not suppress any output.
8898 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8899 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8900 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8901 with all the associated security issues.
8903 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8904 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8905 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8906 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8907 use the value in the default purpose.
8910 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8911 and fix a memory leak.
8914 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8915 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8916 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8917 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8920 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8921 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8922 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8923 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8926 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8927 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8928 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8931 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8932 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8935 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8936 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8940 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8941 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8944 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8945 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8946 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8949 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8950 number generation fails.
8953 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8956 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8957 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8959 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8962 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8963 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8965 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8966 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8968 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8970 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8971 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8974 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8975 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8977 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8978 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8981 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8982 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8983 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8984 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8985 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8986 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8988 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8989 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8990 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8994 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8995 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8996 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8997 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8998 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8999 counter, some don't.)
9000 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9001 counters or duplicate objects.
9004 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9005 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9008 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9009 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9010 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9012 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9013 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9014 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9018 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9019 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9022 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9023 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9024 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9028 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9029 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9030 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9033 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9034 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9035 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9036 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9037 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9038 should work without changes.
9041 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9042 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9043 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9044 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9045 must be defined. E.g.,
9046 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9047 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9048 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9049 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9051 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9055 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9056 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9057 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9060 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9061 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9062 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9063 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9066 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9067 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9068 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9069 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9070 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9071 is prompted for as usual.
9074 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9075 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9076 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9077 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9079 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9080 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9081 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9082 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9085 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9088 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9092 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9095 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9098 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9102 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9105 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9108 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9109 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9112 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9113 options to produce them.
9116 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9117 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9120 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9124 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9125 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9126 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9127 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9128 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9129 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9130 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9133 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9136 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9137 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9138 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9141 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9142 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9144 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9145 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9148 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9149 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9150 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9154 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9155 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9157 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9158 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9159 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9160 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9161 generation becomes much faster.
9163 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9164 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9165 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9166 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9167 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9168 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9169 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9170 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9171 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9172 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9175 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9176 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9177 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9178 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9179 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9180 trial division stage.
9183 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9187 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9190 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9193 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9194 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9195 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9199 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9200 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9201 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9204 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9205 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9206 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9207 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9209 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9210 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9213 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9216 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9217 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9218 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9219 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9222 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9223 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9224 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9227 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9228 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9229 (instead of parameters) in future.
9232 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9233 when a new cipher list is set.
9236 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9237 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9240 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9241 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9242 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9244 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9245 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9246 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9247 an error is flagged.
9249 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9250 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9251 the readability was also increased :-)
9252 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9254 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9255 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9256 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9257 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9261 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9262 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9265 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9266 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9267 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9268 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9271 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9272 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9273 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9274 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9275 because they handle more complex structures.)
9278 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9279 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9280 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9281 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9283 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9284 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9285 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9286 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9287 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9288 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9289 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9292 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9293 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9294 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9295 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9296 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9299 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9302 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9303 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9304 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9305 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9306 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9309 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9313 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9314 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9315 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9316 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9319 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9322 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9323 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9324 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9325 international characters are used.
9327 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9328 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9329 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9333 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9334 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9335 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9338 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9339 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9340 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9341 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9342 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9343 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9345 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9346 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9347 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9348 be handled by the string table functions.
9350 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9351 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9352 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9353 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9354 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9358 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9359 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9360 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9361 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9362 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9364 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9365 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9366 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9367 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9370 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9371 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9372 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9373 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9374 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9378 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9379 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9380 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9381 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9382 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9383 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9384 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9385 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9387 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9388 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9389 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9392 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9393 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9394 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9395 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9396 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9397 support to pkcs8 application.
9400 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9401 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9402 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9403 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9404 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9405 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9408 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9409 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9410 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9411 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9412 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9416 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9417 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9418 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9419 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9423 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9424 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9425 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9426 and any application specific purposes.
9428 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9429 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9430 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9431 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9432 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9433 if the certificate is self signed.
9436 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9437 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9440 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9441 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9442 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9443 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9446 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9447 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9448 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9449 Update documentation.
9452 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9453 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9454 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9455 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9456 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9459 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9461 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9463 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9464 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9465 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9466 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9467 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9468 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9469 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9470 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9471 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9472 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9474 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9476 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9477 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9478 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9479 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9480 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9482 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9483 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9484 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9485 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9486 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9487 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9488 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9489 request additional information:
9490 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9491 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9493 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9494 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9495 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9498 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9499 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9502 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9505 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9506 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9508 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9509 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9510 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9514 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9515 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9516 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9518 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9519 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9520 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9521 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9522 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9523 included in OpenSSL.
9526 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9527 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9528 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9529 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9530 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9531 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9534 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9538 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9539 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9540 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9541 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9542 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9546 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9550 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9551 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9552 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9553 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9554 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9555 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9556 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9557 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9558 be maintained manually.
9560 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9561 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9562 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9563 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9564 work because people forget to call this function]
9565 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9566 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9567 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9570 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9571 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9572 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9573 should be discouraged from doing it.
9576 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9577 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9578 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9579 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9580 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9581 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9584 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9585 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9586 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9588 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9589 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9590 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9592 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9593 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9594 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9595 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9596 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9597 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9599 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9600 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9601 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9603 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9604 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9607 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9608 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9609 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9610 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9613 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9616 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9617 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9618 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9619 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9620 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9621 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9622 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9623 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9624 keys so we should be OK.
9626 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9627 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9628 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9629 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9630 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9631 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9632 stay in the name of compatibility.
9634 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9635 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9636 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9638 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9639 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9640 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9641 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9642 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9643 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9647 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9648 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9649 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9650 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9651 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9652 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9653 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9654 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9655 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9656 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9657 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9658 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9659 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9662 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
9665 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
9666 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
9667 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
9668 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
9669 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
9670 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
9671 single self signed certificate. This means that:
9672 openssl verify ss.pem
9673 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
9674 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
9678 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
9679 (and add it to external session representation).
9680 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
9681 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
9682 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
9683 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
9684 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
9685 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
9687 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
9689 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
9690 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
9691 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
9692 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
9694 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
9695 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
9696 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
9699 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
9700 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
9701 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
9705 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
9706 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
9707 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
9709 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
9710 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
9711 certificate auxiliary information.
9714 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
9718 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
9719 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
9720 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
9721 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
9722 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
9723 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
9724 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
9727 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
9728 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
9731 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
9732 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9733 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
9734 manpages and fix a few bugs.
9737 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
9740 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
9741 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
9744 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
9745 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
9746 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
9747 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
9748 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
9749 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
9750 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9751 using the new 'x509' options.
9753 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9754 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9755 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9756 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9760 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9761 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9762 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9763 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9764 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9767 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9768 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9769 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9770 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9771 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9772 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9773 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9774 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9775 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9776 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9779 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9780 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9781 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9782 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9783 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9784 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9785 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9788 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9789 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9790 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9791 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9792 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9793 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9794 openssl.cnf for more info.
9797 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9798 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9799 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9800 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9801 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9802 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9803 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9804 md should be large enough anyway.
9807 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9808 for handling the random seed file.
9810 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9812 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9815 x509 (when signing).
9816 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9817 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9818 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9820 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9821 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9822 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9823 that support '-rand'.
9826 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9827 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9830 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9831 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9834 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9835 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9836 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9837 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9841 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9842 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9843 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9844 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9847 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9848 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9849 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9850 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9851 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9852 print out all the purposes.
9855 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9859 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9860 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9861 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9862 single function call.
9865 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9866 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9869 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9870 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9871 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9874 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9875 when producing the local key id.
9876 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9878 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9879 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9880 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9884 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9885 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9886 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9887 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9890 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9891 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9892 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9893 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9895 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9896 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9897 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9898 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9900 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9901 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9902 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9903 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9904 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9905 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9906 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9907 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9908 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9909 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9910 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9911 trivial: move one line.
9912 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9914 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9915 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9916 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9917 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9918 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9919 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9920 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9921 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9922 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9923 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9924 with an event loop for example.
9927 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9928 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9929 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9930 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9931 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9932 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9933 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9934 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9935 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9938 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9939 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9940 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9941 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9942 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9943 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9946 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9947 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9948 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9949 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9951 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9952 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9953 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9954 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9958 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9959 (still largely untested)
9962 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9963 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9966 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9967 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9970 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9971 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9972 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9975 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9976 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9977 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9978 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9979 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9982 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9985 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9986 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9987 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9988 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9989 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9993 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9994 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9997 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10000 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10001 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10002 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10003 are otherwise ignored at present.
10006 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10007 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10008 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10009 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10010 copied until the next read.
10013 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10014 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10015 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10018 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10019 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10020 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10021 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10022 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10023 associated functions.
10026 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10027 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10028 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10029 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10030 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10031 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10032 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10033 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10034 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10038 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10039 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10040 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10041 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
10044 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10045 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10046 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10047 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10048 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10052 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10053 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10057 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10058 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10059 extensions to be obtained and added.
10062 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10063 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10066 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10068 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10069 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10071 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10072 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10074 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10078 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10079 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10080 DH parameters contain its length).
10082 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10083 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10084 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10085 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10086 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10087 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10088 utter importance to use
10089 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10091 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10092 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10093 attacks may become possible!
10096 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10099 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10100 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10103 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10104 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10105 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10109 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10110 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10111 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10112 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10113 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10114 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10115 private key operations.
10118 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10121 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10122 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10124 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10125 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10126 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10127 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10128 the password callback is called.
10129 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10131 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10133 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10134 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10135 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10136 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10137 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10138 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10141 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10142 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10143 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10144 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10145 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10146 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10149 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10152 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10153 delete an unused file.
10156 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10157 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10158 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10159 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10162 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10163 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10164 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10168 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10169 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10170 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10172 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10173 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10174 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10175 comparison" warnings.
10176 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10179 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10180 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10181 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10184 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10185 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10187 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10188 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10190 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10191 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10192 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10194 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10195 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10196 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10197 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10198 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10200 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10202 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10203 The interface is as follows:
10204 Applications can use
10205 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10206 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10207 "off" is now the default.
10208 The library internally uses
10209 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10210 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10211 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10213 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10214 even the default) are now avoided.
10216 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10217 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10218 than just having a counter.
10220 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10222 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10226 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10227 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10228 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10229 Initial "mode" flags are:
10231 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10232 a single record has been written.
10233 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10234 retries use the same buffer location.
10235 (But all of the contents must be
10239 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10242 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10243 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10245 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10246 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10247 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10250 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10251 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10253 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10255 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10256 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10257 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10258 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10260 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10261 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10263 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10264 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10265 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10266 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10267 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10268 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10271 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10272 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10273 necessary function names.
10276 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10277 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10278 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10279 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10282 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10283 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10284 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10287 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10288 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10289 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10290 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10292 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10296 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10297 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10298 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10301 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10302 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10306 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10307 for the encoded length.
10308 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10310 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10313 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10314 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10315 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10316 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10319 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10320 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10321 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10323 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10324 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10325 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10326 unusual formatting.
10329 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10330 to use the new extension code.
10333 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10334 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10335 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10339 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10340 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10341 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10345 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10348 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10349 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10350 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10353 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10354 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10355 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10356 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10359 *) DES library cleanups.
10362 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10363 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10364 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10365 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10366 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10370 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10371 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10374 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10375 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10376 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10377 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10378 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10379 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10380 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10381 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10382 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10385 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10386 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10387 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10388 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10389 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10390 value doesn't matter.
10393 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10397 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10398 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10399 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10400 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10402 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10405 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10406 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10407 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10409 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10410 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10412 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10415 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10418 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10421 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10425 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10427 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10429 *) Updated some demos.
10430 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10432 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10435 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10438 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10441 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10442 instead of using a fixed path.
10445 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10448 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10452 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10454 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10455 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10456 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10458 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10459 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10460 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10461 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10462 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10463 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10464 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10465 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10466 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10467 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10470 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10471 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10474 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10475 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10476 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10477 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10478 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10480 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10483 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10484 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10485 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10488 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10491 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10492 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10493 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10494 key elements as negative integers.
10497 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10498 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10501 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10503 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10504 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10505 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10508 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10509 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10510 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10511 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10512 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10515 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10518 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10519 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10520 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10521 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10523 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10524 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10525 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10527 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10528 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10529 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10530 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10531 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10532 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10533 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10534 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10535 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10537 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10538 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10539 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10540 does not influence s as it used to.
10542 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10543 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10544 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10545 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10546 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10547 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10550 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10551 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10552 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10556 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10557 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10558 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10562 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10563 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10564 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10568 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10569 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10572 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10573 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10575 *) Support Mingw32.
10578 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10579 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10581 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10582 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10584 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10587 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10590 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10591 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10593 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10594 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10595 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10599 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10600 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10601 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10602 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10603 now it really counts the depth.
10606 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10607 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10608 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10609 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10610 didn't match the private key).
10612 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10613 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10614 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10617 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10620 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10624 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10625 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10626 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10629 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10632 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10633 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10634 such as /usr/local/bin.
10637 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10638 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10640 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10643 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10644 extension adding in x509 utility.
10647 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10650 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10654 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10657 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10658 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10659 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10660 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10661 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10662 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
10663 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
10664 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
10665 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
10666 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
10669 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
10672 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
10673 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
10676 *) Fix some race conditions.
10679 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
10680 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
10683 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
10686 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
10687 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
10688 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
10689 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
10691 *) Fix lots of warnings.
10692 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10694 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
10695 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
10696 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10698 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
10699 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10701 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
10704 *) Fix typos in error codes.
10705 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
10707 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
10710 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
10711 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10713 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
10714 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
10717 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
10718 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
10721 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
10722 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
10725 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
10726 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
10729 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
10730 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
10733 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
10734 support typesafe stack.
10737 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
10738 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
10740 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
10741 old X509V3 handling code.
10744 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
10747 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
10750 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10753 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10754 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10756 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10757 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10758 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10759 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10760 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10763 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10764 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10765 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10766 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10767 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10769 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10770 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10771 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10774 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10775 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10776 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10777 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10779 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10780 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10781 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10782 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10783 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10784 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10787 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10788 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10791 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10792 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10795 *) Tweaks to Configure
10796 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10798 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10802 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10805 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10806 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10809 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10810 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10811 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10814 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10817 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10818 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10821 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10822 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10823 to library startup routines.
10826 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10827 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10828 codes along the way.
10831 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10832 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10833 objects to objects.h
10836 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10837 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10840 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10841 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10843 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10844 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10845 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10847 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10848 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10849 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10851 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10852 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10853 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10856 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10858 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10859 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10862 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10863 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10864 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10865 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10866 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10868 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10869 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10870 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10872 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10874 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10876 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10878 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10879 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10881 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10882 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10883 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10884 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10886 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10889 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10890 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10891 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10892 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10895 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10896 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10897 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10900 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10901 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10902 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10903 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10904 installed as `perl').
10905 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10907 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10908 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10910 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10911 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
10912 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10913 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10914 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10917 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10920 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10921 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10922 is horrible: I feel ill....
10925 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10926 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10927 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10928 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10931 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10934 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10935 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10936 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10937 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10939 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10940 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10941 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10942 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10943 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10944 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10946 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10948 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10949 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10951 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10952 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10954 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10957 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10958 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10962 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10963 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10964 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10965 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10966 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10967 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10968 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10969 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10970 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10971 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10972 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10974 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10977 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10978 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10979 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10980 for linking it into DSOs.
10981 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10983 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10987 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10988 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10989 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10990 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10991 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10992 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10994 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10995 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10996 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10997 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10998 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10999 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11000 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11002 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11003 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11004 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11008 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11009 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11010 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11011 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11014 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11015 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11016 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11017 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11018 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11022 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11023 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11024 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11025 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11026 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11028 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11029 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11030 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11032 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11033 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11035 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11036 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11037 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11038 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11039 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11042 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11043 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11044 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11045 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11046 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11047 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11048 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11051 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11053 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11054 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11057 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11058 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11060 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11061 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11064 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11065 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11066 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11067 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11068 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11070 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11071 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11072 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11073 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11074 no way to reconfigure them.
11075 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11076 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11077 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11078 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11079 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11080 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11082 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11083 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11084 recognized by the users.
11085 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11087 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11088 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11089 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11090 already masked variable.
11091 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11093 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11094 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11096 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11097 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11098 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11099 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11101 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11102 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11103 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11105 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11106 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11107 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11108 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11109 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11110 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11111 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11112 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11114 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11116 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11117 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11118 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11120 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11121 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11125 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11126 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11128 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11129 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11130 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11131 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11134 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11137 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11138 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11140 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11143 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11144 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11147 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11148 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11151 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11152 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11153 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11154 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11155 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11156 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11157 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11160 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11161 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11163 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11164 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11165 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11166 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11167 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11169 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11170 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11171 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11174 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11175 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11179 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11180 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11181 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11183 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11184 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11185 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11186 build instructions.
11189 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11190 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11191 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11192 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11195 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11196 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11197 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11198 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11201 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11202 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11203 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11204 so it wasn't spotted.
11205 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11207 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11208 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11209 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11210 vectors if you have them.
11213 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11214 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11217 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11218 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11219 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11220 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11222 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11223 it will update them.
11226 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11227 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11228 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11229 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11230 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11231 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11232 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11233 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11235 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11236 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11237 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11238 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11239 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11240 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11241 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11242 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11243 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11244 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11246 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11247 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11248 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11249 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11250 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11253 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11257 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11258 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11260 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11261 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11263 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11264 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11267 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11268 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11270 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11271 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11273 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11276 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11280 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11281 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11282 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11283 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11285 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11288 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11291 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11294 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11295 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11298 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11299 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11303 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11304 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11307 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11308 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11309 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11312 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11313 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11314 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11315 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11316 properly to be processed.
11319 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11320 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11321 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11324 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11325 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11327 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11328 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11329 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11330 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11331 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11332 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11333 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11334 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11335 or delete all the .err files.
11338 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11339 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11340 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11341 to regenerate it if needed.
11342 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11343 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11345 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11346 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11348 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11349 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11350 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11351 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11352 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11355 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11356 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11358 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11359 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11361 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11362 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11363 error, but didn't set one).
11364 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11366 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11369 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11370 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11373 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11374 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11376 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11377 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11378 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11379 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11380 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11381 OID is not part of the table.
11384 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11385 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11388 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11391 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11392 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11396 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11397 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11399 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11401 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11403 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11404 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11406 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11407 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11409 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11410 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11412 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11413 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11416 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11417 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11420 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11421 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11423 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11424 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11426 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11427 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11429 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11430 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11432 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11433 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11434 unused in the certificate verification process.
11435 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11437 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11438 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11441 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11442 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11443 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11445 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11446 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11447 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11448 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11449 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11451 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11452 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11455 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11458 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11461 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11462 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11464 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11467 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11470 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11473 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11474 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11475 other error libraries.
11478 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11481 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
11482 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11486 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11487 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11488 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11489 the new set of documentation files.
11490 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11492 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11493 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11494 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11495 number of arguments.
11496 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11498 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11501 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11502 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11503 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11505 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11508 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11512 unixware-2.0-pentium
11516 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11517 before they are needed.
11520 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11524 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11526 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11527 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11528 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11530 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11533 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11534 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11537 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11538 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11539 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11541 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11542 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11543 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11545 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11546 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11548 *) Updated the README file.
11549 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11551 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
11552 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
11553 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11555 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
11556 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
11557 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11559 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
11560 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11561 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11562 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11563 o removed obsolete TODO file
11564 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11565 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11567 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11568 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11569 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
11570 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
11571 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
11572 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11573 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11575 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11578 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11579 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11580 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11582 [The OpenSSL Project]
11585 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
11587 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
11590 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
11593 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
11594 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11597 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
11598 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
11602 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
11604 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
11606 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
11609 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
11612 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
11615 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
11618 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
11621 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
11624 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
11627 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
11630 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
11633 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
11636 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
11639 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
11642 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
11645 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
11648 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
11651 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
11654 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
11657 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
11658 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
11659 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11662 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
11663 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
11666 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
11669 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
11672 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
11673 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
11676 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
11679 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
11682 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
11683 bytes sent in the client random.
11684 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
