5 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
8 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
9 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
10 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
11 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
12 to use. For example, specify an option
14 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
16 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
17 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
18 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
19 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
20 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
21 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
23 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
24 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
25 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
26 return non-zero for success.
28 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
31 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
32 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
36 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
39 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
40 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
41 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
42 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
43 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
44 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
45 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
46 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
47 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
49 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
50 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
51 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
52 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
53 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
54 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
56 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
57 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
58 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
59 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
60 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
61 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
65 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
68 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
70 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
71 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
72 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
75 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
76 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
79 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
80 protection in servers so again support should be possible
81 with no application modification.
83 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
84 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
86 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
87 or server extensions to be examined.
89 This work was sponsored by Google.
92 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
93 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
94 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
96 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
97 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
99 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
101 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
102 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
103 to output in BER and PEM format.
106 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
107 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
108 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
109 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
110 -macopt options to dgst utility.
113 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
114 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
115 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
119 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
120 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
121 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
122 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
123 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
124 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
125 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
126 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
129 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
130 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
131 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
132 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
134 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
135 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
136 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
140 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
141 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
142 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
143 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
144 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
145 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
146 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
147 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
148 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
150 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
151 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
152 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
153 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
154 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
155 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
156 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
157 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
158 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
159 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
160 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
163 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
164 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
165 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
167 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
168 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
172 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
173 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
174 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
177 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
178 it yet and it is largely untested.
181 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
184 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
185 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
186 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
189 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
192 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
193 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
194 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
195 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
198 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
199 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
200 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
201 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
202 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
205 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
206 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
209 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
210 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
211 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
212 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
215 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
216 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
217 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
218 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
221 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
222 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
225 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
226 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
227 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
228 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
231 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
232 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
233 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
236 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
240 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
241 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
244 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
245 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
246 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
250 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
251 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
252 to free up any added signature OIDs.
255 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
256 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
257 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
258 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
261 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
262 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
263 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
264 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
265 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
266 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
267 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
268 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
270 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
271 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
272 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
274 we now have additional functions
276 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
277 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
278 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
280 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
281 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
285 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
286 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
287 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
288 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
289 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
290 the array representation useful in a more general context.
293 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
294 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
295 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
296 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
297 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
299 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
300 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
301 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
302 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
303 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
306 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
307 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
308 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
309 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
311 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
312 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
313 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
314 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
315 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
321 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
322 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
326 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
327 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
330 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
331 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
334 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
335 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
336 functional reference processing.
339 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
340 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
344 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
345 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
346 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
349 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
350 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
351 application to support multiple signers.
354 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
358 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
359 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
360 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
361 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
362 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
365 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
369 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
370 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
371 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
372 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
376 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
377 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
378 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
379 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
380 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
381 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
382 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
383 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
386 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
387 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
388 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
389 between digests and public key types.
392 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
393 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
394 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
395 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
398 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
399 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
403 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
406 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
410 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
411 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
412 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
413 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
418 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
420 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
422 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
424 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
425 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
426 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
427 functionality for RSA.
430 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
431 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
432 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
435 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
436 key API, doesn't do much yet.
439 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
440 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
441 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
444 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
445 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
448 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
449 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
452 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
453 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
457 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
458 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
459 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
463 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
464 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
465 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
466 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
467 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
468 of public and private key structures.
471 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
472 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
475 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
476 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
477 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
480 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
484 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
485 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
487 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
489 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
491 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
492 and response verification functionality.
493 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
495 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
496 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
497 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
498 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
499 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
500 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
501 server_name extension.
503 New functions (subject to change):
506 SSL_get_servername_type()
509 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
511 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
512 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
513 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
514 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
515 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
517 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
519 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
520 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
521 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
522 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
523 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
524 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
527 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
529 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
532 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
533 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
534 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
535 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
536 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
539 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
540 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
544 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
545 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
546 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
547 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
550 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
551 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
552 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
553 using the maximum available value.
556 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
557 in addition to the text details.
560 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
561 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
562 handle several customised structures at all.
565 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
566 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
567 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
570 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
573 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
574 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
575 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
578 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
579 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
580 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
583 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
584 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
588 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
591 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
594 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [xx XXX xxxx]
596 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
599 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
600 (which previously caused an internal error).
603 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
606 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
607 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
609 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
610 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
611 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
613 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
614 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
615 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
616 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
618 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
619 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
620 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
623 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
624 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
625 information. For detailed background information, see
626 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
627 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
628 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
629 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
630 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
631 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
632 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
633 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
634 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
635 remove a conditional branch.
637 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
638 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
639 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
640 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
641 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
642 remains as a deprecated alias.
644 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
645 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
646 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
647 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
649 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
650 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
651 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
652 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
653 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
654 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
655 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
656 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
658 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
660 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
661 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
662 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
663 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
664 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
665 with applications using a single external cache for quite
666 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
667 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
668 in a different context.
671 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
672 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
673 authentication-only ciphersuites.
676 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
678 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
679 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
680 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
681 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
682 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
685 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
686 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
687 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
688 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
689 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
690 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
693 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
694 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
695 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
696 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
697 message has informed the client about his choice.)
700 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
701 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
703 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
704 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
705 Improve header file function name parsing.
708 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
709 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
712 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
714 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
715 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
716 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
718 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
719 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
721 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
722 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
724 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
725 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
726 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
728 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
729 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
730 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
731 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
732 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
733 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
734 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
735 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
736 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
738 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
739 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
740 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
741 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
742 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
744 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
745 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
746 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
747 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
748 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
749 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
750 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
751 multiple values to extend the available space.
755 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
757 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
758 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
760 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
763 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
764 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
765 undesirable limitations.
766 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
768 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
769 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
770 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
771 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
772 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
773 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
774 to avoid potential handshake problems.
777 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
779 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
780 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
781 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
783 The latter two were purportedly from
784 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
787 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
788 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
789 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
792 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
793 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
796 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
797 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
798 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
799 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
801 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
802 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
803 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
806 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
807 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
808 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
809 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
810 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
811 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
814 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
816 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
817 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
820 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
821 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
823 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
824 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
825 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
826 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
829 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
830 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
833 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
834 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
835 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
836 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
837 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
838 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
839 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
843 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
844 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
845 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
846 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
849 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
850 under VC++ build system.
853 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
854 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
857 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
859 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
860 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
861 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
862 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
863 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
865 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
866 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
867 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
869 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
872 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
873 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
876 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
877 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
879 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
882 *) Extended Windows CE support.
883 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
885 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
886 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
889 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
890 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
894 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
896 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
899 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
902 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
903 key into the same file any more.
906 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
909 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
910 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
912 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
913 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
916 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
917 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
918 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
919 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
920 this only applies when building 'shared'.
921 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
923 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
924 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
925 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
928 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
929 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
930 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
931 - add new function for parameter creation
932 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
933 BN_BLINDING parameters
934 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
935 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
936 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
940 *) Add support for DTLS.
941 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
943 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
944 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
947 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
948 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
951 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
952 the apps/openssl applications.
955 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
956 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
957 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
960 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
961 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
963 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
964 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
966 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
967 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
968 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
969 avoid this algorithm.)
973 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
974 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
975 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
978 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
979 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
982 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
983 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
984 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
987 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
989 The blank line is mandatory.
993 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
994 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
998 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
999 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1001 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1002 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1003 to support policy checking and print out.
1006 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1007 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1008 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1009 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1011 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1014 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1015 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1017 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1018 implementation contributed by IBM.
1019 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1021 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1022 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1023 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1024 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1026 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1027 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1029 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1030 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1031 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1032 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1033 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1034 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1037 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1038 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1039 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1040 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1041 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1042 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1043 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1046 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1049 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1050 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1051 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1052 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1053 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1054 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1055 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1056 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1059 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1060 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1061 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1062 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1065 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1068 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1071 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1072 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1073 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1074 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1075 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1076 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1077 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1080 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1081 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1084 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1085 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1086 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1089 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1090 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1091 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1095 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1096 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1099 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1100 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1101 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1102 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1105 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1106 initialised value as BN_new().
1107 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1109 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1112 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1113 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1114 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1115 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1116 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1117 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1118 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1119 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1120 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1121 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1122 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1123 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1124 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1125 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1126 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1128 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1129 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1130 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1131 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1134 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1135 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1136 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1137 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1138 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1139 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1140 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1141 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1142 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1145 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1146 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1147 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1148 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1149 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1150 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1151 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1154 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1155 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1156 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1157 these have been updated also.
1160 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1161 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1162 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1163 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1164 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1168 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1169 structure of type "other".
1172 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1173 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1174 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1175 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1176 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1177 situation in the script.
1178 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1180 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1181 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1182 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1183 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1184 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1185 used as premaster secret.
1186 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1188 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1189 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1190 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1192 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1193 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1195 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1196 control of the error stack.
1199 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1202 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1203 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1204 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1205 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1208 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1209 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1210 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1213 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1214 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1215 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1219 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1220 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1221 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1222 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1225 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1226 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1227 the following flags are defined:
1229 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1230 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1231 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1234 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1235 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1236 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1237 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1241 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1242 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1243 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1244 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1245 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1248 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1249 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1250 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1253 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1254 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1255 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1256 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1257 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1258 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1261 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1265 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1268 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1271 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1274 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1275 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1276 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1277 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1278 default implementation more easily.
1281 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1285 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1286 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1289 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1290 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1291 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1292 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1294 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1295 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1296 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1297 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1300 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1301 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1305 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1306 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1307 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1308 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1309 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1310 scalar * generator).
1311 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1313 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1314 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1315 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1319 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1320 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1321 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1322 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1323 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1324 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1325 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1326 linker additions, eg;
1327 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1330 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1331 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1332 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1335 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1336 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1337 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1341 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1342 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1343 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1344 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1347 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1348 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1349 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1350 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1351 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1352 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1353 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1354 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1355 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1356 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1358 Example for using the new callback interface:
1360 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1364 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1366 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1367 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1368 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1369 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1370 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1371 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1376 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1377 available to TLS with the number defined in
1378 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1381 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1382 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1384 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1385 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1386 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1387 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1389 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1390 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1392 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1393 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1397 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1398 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1401 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1402 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1403 and a macro that behave like
1404 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1406 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1409 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1410 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1411 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1413 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1415 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1418 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1419 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1420 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1421 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1423 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1424 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1425 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1426 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1427 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1428 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1429 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1430 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1432 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1433 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1436 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1437 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1439 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1440 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1441 files while avoiding the low level API.
1443 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1444 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1445 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1446 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1448 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1449 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1450 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1451 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1452 instead of the low level API.
1455 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1456 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1457 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1458 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1459 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1462 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1463 down to the template encoder.
1466 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1467 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1470 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1471 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1472 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1473 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1475 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1476 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1478 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1479 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1481 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1482 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1485 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1486 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1487 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1490 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1491 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1493 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1494 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1496 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1497 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1500 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1504 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1505 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1506 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1507 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1508 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1509 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1511 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1512 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1515 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1516 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1517 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1518 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1519 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1520 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1521 various internal method names.)
1523 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1524 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1526 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1527 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1529 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1530 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1532 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1533 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1534 methods are undefined.
1536 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1537 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1539 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1540 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1541 length of the modulus.
1543 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1544 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1546 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1547 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1549 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1550 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1552 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1553 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1554 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1557 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1558 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1559 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1560 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1562 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1563 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1564 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1565 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1567 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1568 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1570 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1571 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1572 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1573 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1574 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1576 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1577 This applies to the following functions:
1582 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1583 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1585 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1586 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1590 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1595 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1597 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1598 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1599 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1600 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1601 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1603 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1604 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1606 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1607 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1608 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1610 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1611 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1613 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1614 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1615 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1616 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1617 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1619 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1621 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1622 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1623 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1624 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1625 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1626 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1627 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1628 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1629 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1630 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1631 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1632 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1634 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1637 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1638 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1639 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1640 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1642 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1643 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1644 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1645 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1650 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1651 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1652 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1653 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1654 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1656 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1657 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1658 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1659 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1660 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1661 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1662 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1663 adding different types of curves.
1664 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1666 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1667 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1668 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1671 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1672 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1674 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1675 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1676 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1677 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1679 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1681 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1682 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1684 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1685 library. Most notably,
1686 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1687 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1688 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1689 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1690 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1691 extracted before the specific public key;
1692 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1693 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1695 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1696 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1698 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1699 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1700 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1701 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1703 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1704 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1705 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1707 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1708 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1709 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1710 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1711 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1712 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1716 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1718 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1719 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1720 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1721 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1722 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1723 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1724 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1725 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1726 in a different context.
1729 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1731 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1733 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1735 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1736 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1737 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1740 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1741 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1742 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1745 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1748 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1749 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1752 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1753 run algorithm test programs.
1756 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1759 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1760 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1761 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1762 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1763 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1766 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1767 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1770 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1772 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1773 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1774 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1776 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1777 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1779 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1780 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1782 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1783 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1784 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1786 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1787 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1788 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1789 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1790 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1791 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1792 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1795 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1797 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1798 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1800 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1801 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1802 undesirable limitations.
1803 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1805 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1807 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1808 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1809 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1811 The latter two were purportedly from

1815 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1816 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1817 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1820 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1821 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1824 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1826 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1827 module in FIPS mode.
1830 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1833 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1834 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1835 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1836 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1839 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1841 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1842 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1843 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1844 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1845 the difference induced by this change.
1848 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1850 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1851 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1852 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1853 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1854 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1856 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1857 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1858 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1860 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1861 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1864 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1865 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1866 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1867 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1871 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1872 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1873 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1874 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1875 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1877 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1878 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1879 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1880 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1881 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1882 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1884 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1886 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1887 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1888 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1889 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1890 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1893 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1897 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1898 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1899 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1902 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1903 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1904 structures constant.
1907 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1909 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1912 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1913 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1914 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1915 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1916 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1917 some needed definitions.
1920 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1923 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1924 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1925 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1926 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1929 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1931 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1932 server and client random values. Previously
1933 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1934 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1936 This change has negligible security impact because:
1938 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1941 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1944 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1945 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1948 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1951 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1953 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1956 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1957 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1958 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1960 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1963 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1964 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1967 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1968 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1969 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1971 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1974 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1975 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1976 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1980 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1981 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1982 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1983 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1985 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1986 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1987 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1988 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1992 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1994 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1995 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1996 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1997 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1998 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2001 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2004 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2005 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2007 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2008 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2009 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2010 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2011 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2012 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2013 rather than being initialized to 1.
2016 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2018 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2019 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2020 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2022 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2024 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2026 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2027 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2028 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2029 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2030 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2031 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2034 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2035 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2036 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2037 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2038 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2042 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2043 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2044 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2045 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2046 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2049 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2050 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2051 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2055 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2056 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2058 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2061 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2063 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2065 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2066 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2068 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2070 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2071 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2075 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2076 exiting on the first error in a request.
2079 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2080 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2084 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2085 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2086 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2087 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2089 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2090 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2093 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2094 blocks during encryption.
2097 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2098 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2099 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2100 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2104 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2105 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2106 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2107 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2108 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2112 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2114 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2115 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2116 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2117 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2120 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2121 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2122 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2123 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2124 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2126 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2127 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2128 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2129 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2130 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2131 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2132 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2133 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2134 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2137 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2138 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2139 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2140 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2143 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2144 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2147 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2149 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2150 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2151 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2152 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2153 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2155 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2156 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2157 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2159 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2160 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2161 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2162 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2163 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2165 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2166 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2167 used by default when no-err is given.
2170 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2171 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2173 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2174 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2175 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2176 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2177 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2179 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2180 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2181 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2182 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2184 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2186 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2188 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2190 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2191 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2192 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2193 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2197 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2198 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2200 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2201 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2204 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2205 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2206 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2207 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2210 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2211 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2212 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2213 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2214 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2215 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2216 followup to PR #377.
2219 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2220 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2223 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2224 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2225 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2226 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2228 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2230 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2233 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2234 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2235 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2236 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2238 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

2243 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2247 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2248 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2249 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2250 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2251 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2252 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2254 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2255 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2256 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2257 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2258 have to be made anyway).
2261 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2262 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2263 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2266 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2267 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2268 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2271 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2272 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2273 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2275 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2276 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2277 edit numbers of the version.
2278 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2280 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2281 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2282 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2284 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2285 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2287 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2288 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2291 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2292 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2294 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2295 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2297 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2300 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2301 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2303 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2305 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2307 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2308 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2309 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2311 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2312 representations in a platform independent manner.
2313 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2315 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2316 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2317 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2319 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2321 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2323 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2324 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2326 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2328 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2330 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2331 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2332 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2334 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2336 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2338 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2339 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2341 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2342 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2344 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2345 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2347 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.

2350 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2352 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2354 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().

2360 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2361 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2363 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2365 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2366 the 0.9.6 release series:
2368 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2369 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2371 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2373 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2376 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2377 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2379 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2380 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2382 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2383 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2384 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2385 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2387 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2388 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2389 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2391 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2392 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2393 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2394 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2396 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2397 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2398 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2401 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2402 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2403 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2404 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2405 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2406 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2407 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2408 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2411 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2412 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2413 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2416 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2417 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2418 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2419 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2420 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2422 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2423 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2425 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2426 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2429 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2430 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2431 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2432 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2433 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2434 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2437 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2438 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2439 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2442 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2443 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2446 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2447 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2448 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2449 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2450 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2451 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2452 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2455 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2456 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2457 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2458 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2459 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2460 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2463 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2464 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2465 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2466 declaration has been changed from
2469 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2470 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2471 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2472 has been changed into
2473 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2475 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2476 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2477 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2479 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2480 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2482 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2483 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2484 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2485 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2486 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2487 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2488 always load it have also been added.
2491 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2492 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2493 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2495 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2497 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2498 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2499 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2501 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2502 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2503 command line option can be used to specify an
2507 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2508 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2511 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2512 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2513 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2516 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2517 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2518 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2519 to work with the new engine framework.
2520 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2522 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2523 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2524 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2525 to work with the new engine framework.
2528 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2529 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2530 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2532 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2533 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2535 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2536 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2537 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2538 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2540 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2542 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2543 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2545 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2546 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2548 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2549 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2550 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2553 *) Add new functions
2555 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2556 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2557 These are similar to
2560 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2561 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2562 still in the error queue.
2563 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2565 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2567 default_algorithms = ALL
2568 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2571 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2574 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2577 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2578 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2579 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2580 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2582 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2583 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2585 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2586 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2588 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2589 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2592 *) New functions/macros
2594 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2595 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2596 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2597 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2599 to request calling a callback function
2601 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2602 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2604 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2605 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2606 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2607 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2608 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2609 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2610 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2611 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2612 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2613 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2615 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2616 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2619 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2620 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2621 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2622 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2623 the configuration scripts.
2625 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2626 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2627 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2629 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2630 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2632 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2633 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2634 when reusing an existing buffer.
2637 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2638 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2641 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2642 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2645 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2646 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2647 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2648 has the same effect.
2649 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2651 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2652 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2653 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2654 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2655 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2656 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2659 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2660 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2661 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2662 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2664 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2665 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2666 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2667 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2669 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2670 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2673 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2674 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2675 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2676 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2677 default), and then completely removed.
2680 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2681 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2682 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2683 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2684 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2685 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2686 particular extension is supported.
2689 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2690 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2693 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2694 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2695 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2696 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2697 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2698 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2699 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2700 requires the destination to be valid.
2702 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2703 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2706 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2707 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2708 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2711 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2712 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2714 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2715 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2716 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2717 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2718 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2719 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2720 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2721 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2722 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2723 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2724 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2725 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2726 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2727 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2728 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2729 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2730 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2731 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2732 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2736 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2739 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2740 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2741 become part of libeay.num as well.
2744 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2745 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2746 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2747 false once a handshake has been completed.
2748 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2749 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2750 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2751 client has followed the request.)
2754 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2755 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2756 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2757 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2759 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2760 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2761 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2764 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2767 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2768 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2769 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2772 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2773 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2776 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2777 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2778 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2779 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2782 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2783 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2784 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2785 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2786 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2787 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2790 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2791 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2792 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2793 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2794 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2795 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2796 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2797 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2800 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2801 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2804 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2807 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2808 md_data void pointer.
2811 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2812 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2813 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2814 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2815 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2816 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2819 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2820 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2821 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2822 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2823 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2824 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2825 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2826 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2827 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2828 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2829 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2830 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2831 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2832 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2833 rather than letting it slide.
2835 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2836 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2837 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2840 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2841 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2842 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2843 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2844 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2845 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2846 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2847 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2848 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2851 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2852 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2853 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2854 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2855 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2857 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2860 *) Add EVP test program.
2863 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2866 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2867 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2868 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2869 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2870 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2873 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2874 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2875 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2876 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2877 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2878 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2879 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2881 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2882 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2883 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2888 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2889 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2890 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2891 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2892 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2896 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2897 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2898 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2899 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2902 des_key_schedule ks;
2904 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2905 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2907 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2910 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2911 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2912 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2913 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2914 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2915 functions prevents this.
2918 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2921 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2922 correct _ecb suffix.
2925 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2926 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2927 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2928 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2929 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2932 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2935 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2936 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2937 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2938 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2940 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2941 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2943 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2944 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2945 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2946 via Richard Levitte]
2948 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2949 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2950 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2951 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2954 *) Speed up EVP routines.

2972 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2973 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2975 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2976 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2977 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2978 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2979 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2980 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2983 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2984 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2987 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2988 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2989 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2990 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2992 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2993 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2994 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2995 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2996 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2997 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3001 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3002 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3003 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3004 and interrupts/cancellations.
3007 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3008 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3011 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3012 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3013 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3015 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3016 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3020 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3021 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3022 than this minimum value is recommended.
3025 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3026 that are easily reachable.
3029 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3030 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3032 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3034 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3035 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3036 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3037 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3040 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3041 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3042 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3045 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3046 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3047 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3048 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3049 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3050 internally such as S/MIME.
3052 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3053 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3054 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3056 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3060 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3061 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3062 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3063 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3065 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3067 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3069 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3070 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3071 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3075 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3076 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3077 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3078 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3079 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3080 a window system and the like.
3083 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3084 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3087 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3088 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3089 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3090 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3091 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3092 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3093 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3094 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3095 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3099 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3100 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3104 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3105 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3106 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3107 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3108 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3109 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3110 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3111 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3114 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3115 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3116 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3117 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3118 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3119 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3120 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3121 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3122 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3123 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3124 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3125 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3126 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3127 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3128 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3129 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3130 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3133 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3134 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3135 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3136 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3137 internal engine_int.h header.
3140 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3141 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3142 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3143 modify their own ones).
3146 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3147 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3148 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3149 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3150 later on via ctrl() commands.
3151 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3152 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3153 structural references.
3154 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3155 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3156 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3157 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3158 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3159 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3160 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3161 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3162 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3163 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3164 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3165 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3168 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3169 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3170 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3171 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3172 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3173 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3174 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3175 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3178 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3179 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3182 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3183 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3186 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3187 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3188 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3189 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3190 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3191 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3192 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3195 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3196 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3197 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3198 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3199 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3201 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3202 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3206 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3208 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3209 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3210 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3212 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3213 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3215 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3216 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3217 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3219 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3220 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3222 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3223 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3225 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3227 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3228 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3229 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3232 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3233 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3236 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3237 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3238 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3239 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3240 is 40 of more characters long.
3243 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3244 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3248 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3249 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3252 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3253 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3257 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3259 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3260 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3263 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3265 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3266 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3267 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3269 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3270 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3272 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3275 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3279 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3280 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3281 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3282 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3284 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3286 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3287 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3289 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3290 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3291 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3292 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3293 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3294 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3296 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3297 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3299 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3300 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3302 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3303 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3305 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3306 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3307 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3308 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3310 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3311 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3313 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3314 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3316 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3317 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3318 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3319 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3320 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3323 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3324 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3325 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3326 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3329 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3330 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3331 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3335 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3336 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3337 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3338 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3339 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3340 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3341 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3342 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3346 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3347 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3350 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3351 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3352 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3353 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3356 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3357 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3358 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3359 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3360 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3361 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3362 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3363 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3364 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3365 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3368 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3369 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3370 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3371 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3372 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3373 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3374 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3375 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3377 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3378 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3379 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3380 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3383 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3384 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3385 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3386 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3388 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3389 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3390 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3391 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3392 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3396 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3397 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3398 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3399 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3403 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3404 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3405 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3408 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3409 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3410 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3411 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3412 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3415 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3418 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3419 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3420 option to ocsp utility.
3423 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3424 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3425 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3426 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3427 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3428 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3429 the request is nonce-less.
3432 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3433 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3434 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3437 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3438 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3439 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3442 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3443 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3444 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3445 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3446 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3449 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3450 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3454 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3455 additional certificates supplied.
3458 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3459 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3463 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3464 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3467 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3468 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3469 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3470 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3471 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3472 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3473 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3474 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3475 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3477 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3478 request to response.
3481 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3482 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3483 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3484 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3485 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3486 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3487 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3488 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3489 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3490 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3491 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3494 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3495 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3496 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3497 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3500 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3501 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3503 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3504 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3505 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3508 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3509 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3510 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3511 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3512 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3514 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3515 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3516 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3519 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3520 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3521 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3522 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3523 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3524 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3525 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3526 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3528 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3529 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3530 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3531 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3532 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3533 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3536 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3537 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3538 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3539 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3540 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3541 printout format cleaned up.
3544 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3545 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3546 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3547 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3548 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3549 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3550 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3551 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3554 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3555 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3556 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3557 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3558 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3559 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3560 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3561 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3564 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3565 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3566 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3567 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3569 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3571 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3572 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3573 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3574 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3577 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3578 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3579 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3580 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3582 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3584 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3585 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3586 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3587 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3589 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3590 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3592 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3593 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3594 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3597 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3598 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3599 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3602 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3603 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3604 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3605 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3606 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3607 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3608 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3609 functions are provided:
3611 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3612 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3613 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3614 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3616 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3617 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3618 extended allocation function is enabled.
3619 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3620 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3621 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3623 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3624 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3625 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3626 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3627 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3630 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3631 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3632 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3634 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3635 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3636 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3639 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3640 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3641 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3642 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3643 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3644 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3645 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3646 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3647 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3650 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3651 provide utility functions which an application needing
3652 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3653 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3654 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3656 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3657 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3658 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3659 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3660 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3661 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3662 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3663 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3664 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3666 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3667 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3668 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3669 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3672 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3673 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3674 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3675 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3676 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3677 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3678 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3679 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3680 will be added elsewhere.
3683 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3684 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3685 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3686 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3689 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3690 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3691 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3692 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3693 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3694 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3695 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3696 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3697 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3698 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3699 to produce the required SET OF.
3702 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3703 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3704 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3707 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3708 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3709 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3710 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3711 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3712 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3715 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3716 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3717 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3720 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3721 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3722 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3725 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3726 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3727 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3728 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3729 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3732 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3733 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3736 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3737 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3738 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3739 certifcates and CRLs.
3742 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3743 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3744 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3747 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3748 entries for variables.
3751 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3752 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3753 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3754 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3757 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3758 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3759 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3760 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3761 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3762 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3765 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3766 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3768 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3769 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3770 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3773 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3777 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3778 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3779 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3780 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3781 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3782 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3785 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3788 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3789 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3790 for now but they will eventually go away.
3793 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3794 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3795 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3796 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3797 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3798 has also been converted to the new form.
3801 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3802 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3803 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3804 for negative moduli.
3807 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3808 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3811 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3815 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3816 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3817 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3818 type-specific callbacks.
3821 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3823 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3824 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3826 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3827 in sections depending on the subject.
3830 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3834 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3835 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3836 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3837 be handled deterministically).
3838 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3840 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3841 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3842 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3845 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3848 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3849 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3850 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3851 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3852 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3855 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3856 sign of the number in question.
3858 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3860 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3861 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3862 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3863 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3864 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3867 *) New function BN_swap.
3870 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3871 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3872 results on negative inputs.
3875 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3876 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3877 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3880 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3881 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3882 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3883 and add new functions:
3892 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3896 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3898 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3899 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3901 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3902 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3903 be reduced modulo m.
3904 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3907 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3908 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3909 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3911 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3912 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3913 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3914 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3915 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3916 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3921 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3922 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3923 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3924 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3925 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3927 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3928 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3929 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3933 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3936 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3937 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3940 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3941 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3942 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3943 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3947 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3950 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3953 *) Add the following functions:
3955 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3957 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3959 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3961 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3962 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3963 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3964 libraries unless it's really needed.
3966 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3967 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3968 declarations (they differed!).
3971 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3974 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3977 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3980 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3981 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3984 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3985 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3986 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3988 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3989 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3992 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3995 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3998 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4001 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4002 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4003 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4005 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4006 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4007 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4008 different shared library filenames on each system.
4011 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4014 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4015 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4016 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4018 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4021 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4022 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4023 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4024 binary backward compatibility.
4025 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4026 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4027 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4031 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4032 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4033 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4034 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4038 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4041 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4042 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4043 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4044 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4048 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4051 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4053 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4054 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4055 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4057 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4059 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4061 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4062 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4065 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4067 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4069 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4070 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4072 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4073 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4077 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4078 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4082 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4083 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4084 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4085 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4087 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4088 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4091 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4093 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4094 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4095 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4096 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4099 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4100 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4101 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4102 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4103 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4105 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4106 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4107 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4108 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4109 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4110 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4111 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4112 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4113 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4116 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4118 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4119 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4120 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4121 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4122 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4124 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4125 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4126 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4128 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4130 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4131 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4132 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4133 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4134 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4135 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4138 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4139 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4140 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4141 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4142 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4145 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4146 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4147 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4149 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4150 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4151 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4155 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4156 being properly terminated.
4159 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4160 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4161 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4162 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4164 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4165 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4166 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4167 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4168 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4169 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4170 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4172 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4174 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4175 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4178 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4179 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4180 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4181 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4182 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4183 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4184 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4185 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4187 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4188 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4189 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4190 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4191 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4193 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4194 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4197 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4199 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4200 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4201 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4203 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4205 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4206 and get fix the header length calculation.
4207 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4208 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4211 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4212 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4213 assertions could call abort()).
4214 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4216 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4218 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4219 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4220 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4222 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4224 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4225 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4226 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4229 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4233 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4234 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4235 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4237 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4238 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4239 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4240 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4241 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4245 *) Changes in security patch:
4247 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4248 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4249 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4252 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4253 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4254 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4255 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4256 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4258 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4260 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4262 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4263 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4264 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4266 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4267 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4268 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4270 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4271 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4272 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4274 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4276 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4277 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4278 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4280 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4281 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4283 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4284 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4285 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4286 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4287 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4288 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4291 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4292 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4293 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4294 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4297 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4300 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4301 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4302 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4303 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4304 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4305 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4307 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4308 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4309 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4310 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4311 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4314 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4315 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4316 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4317 BN_generate_prime().)
4319 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4320 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4321 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4325 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4326 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4329 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4330 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4331 when using non-blocking I/O.
4332 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4334 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4335 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4337 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4338 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4341 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4342 configuration for the versions before that.
4343 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4345 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4346 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4347 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4348 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4351 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4352 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4353 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4356 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4360 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4361 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4362 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4364 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4365 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4367 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4368 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4369 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4370 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4371 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4372 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4373 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4376 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4377 using a local variable.
4378 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4380 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4381 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4382 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4384 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4387 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4388 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4390 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4391 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4392 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4394 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4396 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4397 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4398 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4399 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4402 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4406 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4407 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4408 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4409 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4410 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4412 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4413 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4414 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4416 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4417 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4418 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4420 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4421 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4422 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4423 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4425 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4426 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4427 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4429 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4431 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4432 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4434 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4436 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4437 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4438 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4439 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4441 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4442 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4443 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4444 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4446 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4447 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4449 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4450 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4451 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4454 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4455 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4456 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4458 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4460 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4461 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4462 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4463 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4464 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4465 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4466 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4469 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4470 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4471 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4472 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4474 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4475 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4476 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4477 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4478 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4479 the client will at least see that alert.
4482 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4486 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4487 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4488 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4490 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4491 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4492 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4493 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4496 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4497 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4498 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4500 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4501 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4502 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4503 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4504 may leak via logfiles.)
4506 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4507 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4508 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4509 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4513 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4514 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4517 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4518 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4519 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4520 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4521 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4524 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4525 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4527 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4528 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4529 followed by modular reduction.
4530 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4532 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4533 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4536 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4537 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4538 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4539 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4542 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4545 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4546 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4549 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4550 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4551 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4552 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4553 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4554 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4556 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4558 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4559 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4560 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4561 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4562 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4564 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4567 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4568 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4569 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4570 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4571 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4572 to allow the necessary settings.
4575 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4576 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4577 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4578 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4581 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4582 dh->length and always used
4584 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4586 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4587 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4588 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4589 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4590 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4595 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4597 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4603 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4604 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4605 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4606 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4608 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4609 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4610 always reject numbers >= n.
4613 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4614 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4615 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4616 variable) is not atomic.
4619 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4620 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4621 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4622 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4624 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4625 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4627 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4629 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4631 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4634 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4636 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4637 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4638 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4639 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4640 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4641 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4642 to traverse all of 'state'.
4644 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4645 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4646 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4648 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4649 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4651 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4652 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4653 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4654 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4655 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4656 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4657 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4658 further strengthens the PRNG.
4661 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4664 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4665 an error message in this case.
4668 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4671 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4672 positive and less than q.
4675 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4676 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4678 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4680 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4681 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4685 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4687 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4688 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4689 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4690 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4691 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4692 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4693 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4696 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4697 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4698 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4699 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4701 Both problems are now fixed.
4704 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4705 (previously it was 1024).
4708 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4709 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4712 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4715 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4716 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4717 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4720 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4721 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4722 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4723 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4724 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4725 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4726 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4727 environment variables.
4729 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4730 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4731 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4734 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4735 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4736 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4737 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4738 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4739 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4742 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4746 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4748 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4749 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4751 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4752 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4753 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4754 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4758 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4759 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4760 amount of data available.
4761 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4762 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4764 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4765 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4766 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4767 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4770 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4771 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4775 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4776 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4777 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4778 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4781 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4784 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4787 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4788 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4790 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4792 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4793 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4794 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4795 (but broken) behaviour.
4798 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4800 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4802 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4803 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4806 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4810 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4811 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4813 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4816 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4817 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4818 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4820 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4821 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4822 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4825 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4826 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4829 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4830 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4832 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4834 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4836 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4837 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4838 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4839 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4842 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4845 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4846 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4847 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4849 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4852 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4854 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4855 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4856 but the code is actually correct.
4859 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4860 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4861 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4862 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4863 and leaves the highest bit random.
4864 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4866 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4867 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4868 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4869 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4870 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4871 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4872 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4875 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4878 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4879 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4882 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4883 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4884 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4885 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4889 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4890 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4891 and break the signature.
4893 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4895 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4899 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4900 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4901 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4902 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4903 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4906 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4907 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4909 *) ./config script fixes.
4910 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4912 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4915 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4916 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4917 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4918 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4919 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4921 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4922 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4925 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4926 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4929 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4930 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4931 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4932 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4934 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4935 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4937 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4938 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4939 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4940 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4941 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4943 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4946 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4949 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4952 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4955 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4956 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4959 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4960 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4961 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4962 result of the server certificate verification.)
4965 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4966 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4967 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4971 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4972 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4973 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4974 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4975 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4976 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4977 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4978 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4981 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4982 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4983 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4984 happening the other way round.
4987 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4988 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4991 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4992 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4993 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4994 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4997 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4998 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5000 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5002 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5003 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5004 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5007 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5009 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5011 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5015 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5017 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5018 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5019 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5020 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5021 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5023 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5024 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5028 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5031 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5033 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5034 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5035 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5036 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5037 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5038 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5039 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5040 by the Finished messages.
5043 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5044 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5046 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5047 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5048 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5049 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5050 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5054 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5055 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5056 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5057 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5058 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5059 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5060 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5061 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5062 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5066 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5067 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5068 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5069 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5071 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5072 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5073 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5074 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5075 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5078 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5079 been tested well enough.
5082 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5083 it can return incorrect results.
5084 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5085 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5088 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5089 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5090 include zero length content when signing messages.
5093 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5094 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5097 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5100 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5104 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5105 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5106 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5107 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5108 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5109 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5112 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5113 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5115 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5116 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5118 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5119 random number < q in the DSA library.
5122 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5123 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5124 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5125 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5126 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5127 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5128 just makes things more complicated.)
5131 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5135 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5136 work better on such systems.
5137 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5139 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5140 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5141 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5144 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5145 if there was more than one signature.
5146 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5148 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5149 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5150 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5151 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5154 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5155 rather than always using the current time.
5158 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5159 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5160 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5161 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5162 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5163 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5165 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5166 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5168 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5170 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5171 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5172 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5173 the same hash value.
5175 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5176 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5177 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5178 with X509_STORE internally.
5180 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5181 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5183 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5184 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5185 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5186 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5187 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5188 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5189 entirely (maybe later...).
5191 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5193 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5194 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5195 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5196 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5197 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5198 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5199 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5200 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5202 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5203 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5205 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5206 to customise the verify behaviour.
5209 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5210 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5213 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5214 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5215 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5216 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5217 request is improperly encoded.
5220 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5221 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5224 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5225 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5227 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5228 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5232 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5233 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5234 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5237 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5238 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5239 BIO/fp routines also added.
5242 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5243 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5245 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5246 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5247 demos/state_machine.
5250 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5251 generation and verification.
5254 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5255 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5256 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5257 encode and decode it manually.
5260 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5262 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5264 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5265 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5266 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5267 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5269 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5270 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5271 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5272 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5273 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5276 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5279 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5280 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5281 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5283 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5284 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT

5289 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO

5292 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5293 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5295 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5297 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE

5299 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5303 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5304 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5305 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5306 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5310 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5312 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5315 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5316 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5317 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5318 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5319 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5320 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5321 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5322 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5323 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5324 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5325 short or long names are found.
5328 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5329 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5331 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5332 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5333 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5334 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5336 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5337 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5338 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5339 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5342 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5343 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5344 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5347 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5348 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5349 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5350 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5351 to allow the various flags to be set.
5354 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5355 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5356 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5357 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5358 dates to be checked.
5361 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5362 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5363 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5366 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5367 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5368 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5371 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5372 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5375 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5376 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5377 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5378 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5379 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5380 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5383 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5384 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5388 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5392 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5393 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5394 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5395 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5396 form signing output easier to verify.
5399 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5402 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5403 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5404 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5405 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5406 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5407 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5408 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5409 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5410 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5411 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5414 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5416 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5417 the syntax given in objects.README.
5418 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5420 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5423 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5424 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5425 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5426 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5427 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5428 consistent name changes.
5431 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5434 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5435 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5436 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5437 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5440 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5441 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5442 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5446 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5447 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5448 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5449 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5452 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5453 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5454 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5455 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5456 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5457 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5458 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5459 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5460 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5461 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5462 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5465 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5466 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5467 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5468 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5469 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5470 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5471 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5472 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5473 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5474 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5477 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5478 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5479 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5480 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5482 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5483 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5484 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5485 omit any duplicate addresses.
5488 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5489 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5492 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5493 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5494 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5495 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5496 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5499 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5501 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5502 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5503 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5504 Free => OPENSSL_free
5507 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5508 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5511 *) CygWin32 support.
5512 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5514 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5515 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5516 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5517 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5518 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5522 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5523 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5524 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5525 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5526 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5527 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5528 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5531 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5532 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5533 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5534 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5535 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5536 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5537 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5538 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5539 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5540 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5541 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5544 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5545 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5546 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5547 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5548 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5550 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5551 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5552 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5553 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5554 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5556 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5559 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5560 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5561 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5562 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5564 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5566 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5569 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5570 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5571 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5574 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5575 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5576 any installed hardware versions can.
5579 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5580 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5581 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5585 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5586 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5587 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5588 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5589 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5591 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5592 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5595 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5596 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5599 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5600 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5601 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5605 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5608 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5609 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5610 but no ssl client purpose.
5611 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5613 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5614 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5615 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5616 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5617 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5618 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5619 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5620 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5621 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5622 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5623 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5626 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5627 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5628 be obtained from the error queue.
5631 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5632 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5633 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5634 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5637 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5640 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5641 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5642 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5643 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5644 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5647 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5648 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5649 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5650 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5651 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5654 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5655 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5656 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5658 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5660 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5661 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5662 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5663 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5664 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5665 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5666 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5667 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5668 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5669 or "the configuration storage API"...
5671 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5673 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5674 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5676 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5678 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5680 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5681 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5682 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5683 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5684 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5685 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5686 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5688 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5689 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5692 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5693 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5694 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5695 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5698 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5699 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5700 them in a portable way.
5701 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5703 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5705 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5707 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5708 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5710 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5711 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5712 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5715 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5716 was larger than the MD block size.
5717 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5719 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5720 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5721 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5722 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5726 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5727 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5728 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5730 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5732 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5734 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5735 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5736 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5737 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5738 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5739 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5741 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5742 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5744 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5745 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5748 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5751 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5752 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5754 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5755 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5756 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5757 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5760 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5761 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5762 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5763 does not suppress any output.
5766 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5767 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5768 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5769 with all the associated security issues.
5771 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5772 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5773 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5774 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5775 use the value in the default purpose.
5778 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5779 and fix a memory leak.
5782 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5783 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5784 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5785 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5788 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5789 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5790 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5791 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5794 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5795 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5796 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5799 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5800 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5803 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5804 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5808 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5809 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5812 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5813 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5814 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5817 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5818 number generation fails.
5821 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5824 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5825 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5827 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5830 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5831 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5833 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5834 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5836 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5838 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5839 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5842 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5843 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5845 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5846 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5849 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5850 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5851 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5852 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5853 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5854 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5856 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5857 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5858 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5862 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5863 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5864 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5865 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5866 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5867 counter, some don't.)
5868 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5869 counters or duplicate objects.
5872 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5873 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5876 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5877 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5878 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5880 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5881 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5882 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5886 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5887 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5890 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5891 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5892 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5896 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5897 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5898 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5901 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5902 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5903 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5904 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5905 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5906 should work without changes.
5909 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5910 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5911 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5912 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5913 must be defined. E.g.,
5914 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5915 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5916 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5917 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5919 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5923 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5924 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5925 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5928 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5929 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5930 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5931 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5934 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5935 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5936 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5937 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5938 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5939 is prompted for as usual.
5942 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5943 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5944 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5945 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5947 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5948 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5949 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5950 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5953 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5956 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5960 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5963 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5966 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5970 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5973 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5976 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5977 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5980 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5981 options to produce them.
5984 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5985 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5988 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5992 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5993 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5994 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5995 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5996 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5997 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5998 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6001 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6004 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6005 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6006 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6009 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6010 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6012 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6013 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6016 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6017 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6018 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6022 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6023 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6025 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6026 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6027 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6028 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6029 generation becomes much faster.
6031 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6032 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6033 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6034 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6035 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6036 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6037 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6038 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6039 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6040 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6043 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6044 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6045 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6046 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6047 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6048 trial division stage.
6051 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6055 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6058 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6061 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6062 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6063 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6067 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6068 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6069 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6072 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6073 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6074 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6075 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6077 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6078 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6081 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6084 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6085 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6086 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6087 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6090 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6091 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6092 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6095 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6096 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6097 (instead of parameters) in future.
6100 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6101 when a new cipher list is set.
6104 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6105 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6108 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6109 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6110 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6112 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6113 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6114 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6115 an error is flagged.
6117 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6118 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6119 the readability was also increased :-)
6120 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6122 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6123 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6124 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6125 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6129 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6130 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6133 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6134 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6135 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6136 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6139 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6140 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6141 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6142 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6143 because they handle more complex structures.)
6146 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6147 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6148 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6149 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6151 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6152 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6153 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6154 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6155 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6156 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6157 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6160 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6161 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6162 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6163 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6164 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6167 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6170 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6171 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6172 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6173 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6174 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6177 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6181 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6182 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6183 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6184 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6187 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6190 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6191 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6192 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6193 international characters are used.
6195 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6196 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6197 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6201 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6202 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6203 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6206 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6207 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6208 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6209 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6210 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6211 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6213 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6214 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6215 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6216 be handled by the string table functions.
6218 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6219 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6220 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6221 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6222 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6226 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6227 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6228 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6229 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6230 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6232 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6233 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6234 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6235 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6238 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6239 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6240 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6241 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6242 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6246 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6247 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6248 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6249 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6250 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6251 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6252 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6253 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6255 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6256 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6257 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6260 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6261 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6262 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6263 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6264 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6265 support to pkcs8 application.
6268 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6269 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6270 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6271 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6272 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6273 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6276 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6277 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6278 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6279 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6280 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6284 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6285 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6286 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6287 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6291 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6292 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6293 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6294 and any application specific purposes.
6296 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6297 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6298 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6299 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6300 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6301 if the certificate is self signed.
6304 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6305 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6308 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6309 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6310 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6311 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6314 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6315 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6316 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6317 Update documentation.
6320 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6321 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6322 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6323 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6324 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6327 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6329 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6331 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6332 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6333 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6334 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6335 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6336 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6337 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6338 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6339 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6340 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6342 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6344 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6345 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6346 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6347 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6348 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6350 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6351 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6352 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6353 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6354 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6355 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6356 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6357 request additional information:
6358 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6359 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6361 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6362 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6363 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6366 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6367 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6370 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6373 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6374 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6376 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6377 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6378 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6382 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6383 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6384 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6386 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6387 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6388 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6389 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6390 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6391 included in OpenSSL.
6394 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6395 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6396 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6397 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6398 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6399 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6402 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6406 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6407 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6408 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6409 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6410 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6414 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6418 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6419 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6420 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6421 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6422 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6423 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6424 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6425 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6426 be maintained manually.
6428 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6429 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6430 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6431 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6432 work because people forget to call this function]
6433 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6434 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6435 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6438 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6439 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6440 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6441 should be discouraged from doing it.
6444 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6445 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6446 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6447 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6448 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6449 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6452 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6453 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6454 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6456 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6457 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6458 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6460 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6461 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6462 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6463 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6464 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6465 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6467 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6468 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6469 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6471 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6472 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6475 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6476 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6477 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6478 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6481 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6484 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6485 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6486 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6487 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6488 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6489 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6490 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6491 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6492 keys so we should be OK.
6494 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6495 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6496 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6497 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6498 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6499 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6500 stay in the name of compatibility.
6502 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6503 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6504 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6506 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6507 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6508 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6509 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6510 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6511 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6515 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6516 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6517 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6518 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6519 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6520 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6521 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6522 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6523 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6524 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6525 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6526 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6527 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6530 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6533 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6534 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6535 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6536 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6537 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6538 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6539 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6540 openssl verify ss.pem
6541 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6542 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6546 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6547 (and add it to external session representation).
6548 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6549 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6550 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6551 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6552 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6553 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6555 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6557 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6558 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6559 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6560 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6562 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6563 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6564 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6567 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6568 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6569 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6573 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6574 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6575 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6577 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6578 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6579 certificate auxiliary information.
6582 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6586 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6587 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6588 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6589 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6590 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6591 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6592 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6595 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6596 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6599 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6600 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6601 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6602 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6605 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6608 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6609 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6612 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6613 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6614 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6615 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6616 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6617 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6618 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6619 using the new 'x509' options.
6621 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6622 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6623 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6624 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6628 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6629 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6630 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6631 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6632 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6635 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6636 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6637 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6638 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6639 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6640 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6641 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6642 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6643 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6644 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6647 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6648 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6649 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6650 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6651 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6652 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6653 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6656 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6657 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6658 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6659 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6660 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6661 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6662 openssl.cnf for more info.
6665 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6666 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6667 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6668 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6669 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6670 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6671 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6672 md should be large enough anyway.
6675 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6676 for handling the random seed file.
6678 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6680 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6683 x509 (when signing).
6684 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6685 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6686 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6688 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6689 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6690 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6691 that support '-rand'.
6694 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6695 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6698 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6699 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6702 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6703 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6704 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6705 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6709 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6710 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6711 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6712 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6715 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6716 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6717 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6718 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6719 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6720 print out all the purposes.
6723 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6727 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6728 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6729 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6730 single function call.
6733 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6734 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6737 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6738 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6739 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6742 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6743 when producing the local key id.
6744 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6746 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6747 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6748 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6752 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6753 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6754 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6755 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6758 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6759 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6760 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6761 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6763 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6764 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6765 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6766 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6768 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6769 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6770 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6771 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6772 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6773 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6774 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6775 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6776 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6777 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6778 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6779 trivial: move one line.
6780 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6782 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6783 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6784 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6785 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6786 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6787 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6788 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6789 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6790 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6791 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6792 with an event loop for example.
6795 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6796 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6797 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6798 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6799 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6800 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6801 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6802 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6803 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6806 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6807 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6808 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6809 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6810 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6811 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6814 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6815 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6816 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6817 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6819 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6820 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6821 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6822 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6826 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6827 (still largely untested)
6830 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6831 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6834 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6835 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6838 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6839 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6840 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6843 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6844 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6845 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6846 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6847 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6850 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6853 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6854 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6855 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6856 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6857 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6861 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6862 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6865 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6868 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6869 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6870 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6871 are otherwise ignored at present.
6874 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6875 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6876 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6877 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6878 copied until the next read.
6881 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6882 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6883 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6886 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6887 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6888 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6889 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6890 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6891 associated functions.
6894 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6895 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6896 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6897 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6898 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6899 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6900 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6901 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6902 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6906 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6907 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6908 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6909 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6912 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6913 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6914 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6915 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6916 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6920 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6921 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6925 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6926 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6927 extensions to be obtained and added.
6930 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6931 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6934 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6936 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6937 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6939 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6940 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6942 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6946 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6947 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6948 DH parameters contain its length).
6950 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6951 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6952 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6953 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6954 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6955 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6956 utter importance to use
6957 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6959 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6960 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6961 attacks may become possible!
6964 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6967 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6968 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6971 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6972 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6973 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6977 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6978 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6979 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6980 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6981 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6982 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6983 private key operations.
6986 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6989 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6990 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6992 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6993 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6994 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6995 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6996 the password callback is called.
6997 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6999 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7001 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7002 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7003 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7004 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7005 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7006 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7009 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7010 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7011 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7012 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7013 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7014 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7017 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7020 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7021 delete an unused file.
7024 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7025 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7026 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7027 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7030 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7031 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7032 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7036 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7037 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7038 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7040 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7041 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7042 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7043 comparison" warnings.
7044 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7047 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7048 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7049 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7052 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7053 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7055 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7056 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7058 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7059 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7060 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7062 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7063 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7064 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7065 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7066 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7068 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7070 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7071 The interface is as follows:
7072 Applications can use
7073 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7074 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7075 "off" is now the default.
7076 The library internally uses
7077 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7078 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7079 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7081 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7082 even the default) are now avoided.
7084 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7085 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7086 than just having a counter.
7088 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7090 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7094 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7095 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7096 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7097 Initial "mode" flags are:
7099 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7100 a single record has been written.
7101 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7102 retries use the same buffer location.
7103 (But all of the contents must be
7107 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7110 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7111 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7113 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7114 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7115 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7118 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7119 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7121 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7123 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7124 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7125 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7126 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7128 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7129 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7131 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7132 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7133 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7134 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7135 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7136 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7139 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7140 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7141 necessary function names.
7144 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7145 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7146 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7147 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7150 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7151 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7152 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7155 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7156 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7157 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7158 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7160 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7164 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7165 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7166 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7169 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7170 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7174 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7175 for the encoded length.
7176 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7178 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7181 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7182 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7183 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7184 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7187 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7188 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7189 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7191 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7192 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7193 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7197 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7198 to use the new extension code.
7201 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7202 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7203 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7207 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7208 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7209 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7213 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7216 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7217 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7218 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7221 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7222 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7223 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7224 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7227 *) DES library cleanups.
7230 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7231 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7232 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7233 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7234 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7238 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7239 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7242 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7243 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7244 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7245 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7246 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7247 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7248 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7249 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7250 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7253 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7254 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7255 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7256 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7257 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7258 value doesn't matter.
7261 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7265 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7266 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7267 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7268 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7270 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7273 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7274 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7275 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7277 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7278 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7280 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7283 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7286 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7289 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7293 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7295 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7297 *) Updated some demos.
7298 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7300 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7303 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7306 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7309 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7310 instead of using a fixed path.
7313 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7316 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7320 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7322 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7323 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7324 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7326 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7327 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7328 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7329 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7330 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7331 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7332 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7333 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7334 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7335 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7338 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7339 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7342 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7343 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7344 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7345 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7346 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7348 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7351 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7352 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7353 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7356 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7359 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7360 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7361 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7362 key elements as negative integers.
7365 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7366 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7369 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7371 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7372 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7373 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7376 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7377 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7378 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7379 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7380 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7383 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7386 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7387 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7388 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7389 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7391 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7392 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7393 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7395 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7396 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7397 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7398 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7399 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7400 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7401 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7402 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7403 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7405 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7406 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7407 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7408 does not influence s as it used to.
7410 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7411 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7412 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7413 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7414 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7415 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7418 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7419 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7420 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7424 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7425 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7426 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7430 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7431 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7432 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7436 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7437 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7440 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7441 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7446 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7447 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7449 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7450 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7452 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7455 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7458 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7459 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7461 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7462 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7463 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7467 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7468 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7469 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7470 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7471 now it really counts the depth.
7474 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7475 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7476 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7477 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7478 didn't match the private key).
7480 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7481 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7482 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7485 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7488 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7492 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7493 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7494 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7497 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7500 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7501 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7502 such as /usr/local/bin.
7505 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7506 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7508 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7511 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7512 extension adding in x509 utility.
7515 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7518 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7522 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7525 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7526 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7527 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7528 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7529 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7530 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7531 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7532 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7533 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7534 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7537 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7540 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7541 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7544 *) Fix some race conditions.
7547 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7548 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7551 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7554 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7555 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7556 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7557 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7559 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7560 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7562 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7563 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7564 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7566 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7567 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7569 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7572 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7573 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7575 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7578 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7579 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7581 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7582 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7585 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7586 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7589 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7590 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7593 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7594 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7597 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7598 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7601 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7602 support typesafe stack.
7605 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7606 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7608 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7609 old X509V3 handling code.
7612 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7615 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7618 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7621 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7622 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7624 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7625 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7626 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7627 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7628 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7631 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7632 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7633 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7634 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7635 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7637 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7638 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7639 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7640 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7642 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7643 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7644 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7645 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7647 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7648 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7649 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7650 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7651 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7652 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7655 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7656 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7659 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7660 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7663 *) Tweaks to Configure
7664 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7666 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7670 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7673 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7674 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7677 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7678 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7679 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7682 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7685 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7686 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7689 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7690 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7691 to library startup routines.
7694 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7695 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7696 codes along the way.
7699 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7700 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7701 objects to objects.h
7704 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7705 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7708 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7709 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7711 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7712 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7713 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7715 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7716 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7717 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7719 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7720 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7721 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7724 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7726 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7727 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7730 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7731 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7732 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7733 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7734 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7736 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7737 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7738 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7740 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7742 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7744 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7746 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7747 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7749 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7750 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7751 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7752 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7754 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7757 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7758 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7759 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7760 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7763 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7764 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7765 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7768 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7769 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7770 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7771 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7772 installed as `perl').
7773 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7775 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7776 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7778 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7779 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7780 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7781 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7782 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7785 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7788 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7789 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7790 is horrible: I feel ill....
7793 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7794 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7795 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7796 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7799 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7800 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7802 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7803 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7804 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7805 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7807 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7808 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7809 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7810 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7811 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7812 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7816 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7817 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7819 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7820 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7822 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7825 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7826 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7830 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7831 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7832 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7833 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7834 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7835 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7836 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7837 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7838 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7839 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7842 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7845 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7846 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7847 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7848 for linking it into DSOs.
7849 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7851 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7855 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7856 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7857 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7858 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7859 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7860 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7862 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7863 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7864 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7865 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7866 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7867 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7868 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7870 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7871 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7872 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7876 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7877 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7878 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7879 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7882 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7883 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7884 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7885 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7886 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7890 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7891 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7892 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7893 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7894 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7896 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7897 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7898 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7900 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7901 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7903 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7904 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7905 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7906 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7907 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7910 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7911 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7912 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7913 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7914 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7915 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7916 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7919 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7921 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7922 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7925 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7926 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7928 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7929 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7932 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7933 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7934 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7935 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7936 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7938 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7939 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7940 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7941 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7942 no way to reconfigure them.
7943 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7944 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7945 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7946 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7947 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7948 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7950 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7951 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7952 recognized by the users.
7953 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7955 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7956 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7957 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7958 already masked variable.
7959 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7961 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7962 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7964 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7965 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7966 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7967 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7969 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7970 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7971 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7973 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7974 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7975 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7976 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7977 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7978 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7979 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7980 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7982 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7984 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7985 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7986 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7988 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7989 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7993 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7994 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7996 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7997 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7998 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7999 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8002 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8005 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8006 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8008 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8011 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8012 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8015 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8016 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8019 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8020 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8021 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8022 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8023 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8024 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8025 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8028 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8029 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8031 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8032 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8033 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8034 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8035 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8037 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8038 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8039 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8042 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8043 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8047 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8048 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8049 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8051 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8052 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8053 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8057 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8058 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8059 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8060 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8063 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8064 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8065 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8066 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8069 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8070 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8071 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8072 so it wasn't spotted.
8073 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8075 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8076 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8077 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8078 vectors if you have them.
8081 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8082 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8085 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8086 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8087 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8088 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8090 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8091 it will update them.
8094 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8095 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8096 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8097 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8098 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8099 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8100 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8101 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8103 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8104 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8105 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8106 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8107 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8108 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8109 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8110 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8111 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8112 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8114 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8115 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8116 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8117 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8118 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8121 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8125 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8126 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8128 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8129 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8131 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8132 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8135 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8136 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8138 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8139 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8141 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8144 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8148 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8149 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8150 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8151 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8153 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8156 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8159 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8162 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8163 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8166 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8167 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8171 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8172 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8175 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8176 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8177 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8180 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8181 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8182 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8183 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8184 properly to be processed.
8187 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8188 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8189 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8192 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8193 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8195 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8196 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8197 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8198 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8199 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8200 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8201 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8202 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8203 or delete all the .err files.
8206 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8207 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8208 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8209 to regenerate it if needed.
8210 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8211 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8213 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8214 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8216 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8217 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8218 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8219 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8220 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8223 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8224 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8226 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8227 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8229 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8230 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8231 error, but didn't set one).
8232 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8234 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8237 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8238 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8241 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8242 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8244 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8245 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8246 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8247 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8248 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8249 OID is not part of the table.
8252 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8253 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8256 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8259 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8260 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8264 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8265 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8267 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8269 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8271 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8272 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8274 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8275 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8277 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8278 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8280 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8281 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8284 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8285 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8288 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8289 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8291 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8292 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8294 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8295 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8297 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8298 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8300 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8301 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8302 unused in the certificate verification process.
8303 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8305 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8306 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8309 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8310 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8311 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8313 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8314 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8315 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8316 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8317 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8319 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8320 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8323 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8326 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8329 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8330 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8332 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8335 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8338 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8341 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8342 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8343 other error libraries.
8346 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8349 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8350 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8354 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8355 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8356 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8357 the new set of documenation files.
8358 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8360 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8361 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8362 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8363 number of arguments.
8364 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8366 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8369 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8370 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8371 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8373 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8376 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8380 unixware-2.0-pentium
8384 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8385 before they are needed.
8388 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8392 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8394 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8395 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8398 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8401 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8402 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8403 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8405 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8406 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8407 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8409 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8410 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8411 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8413 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8414 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8416 *) Updated the README file.
8417 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8419 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8420 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8421 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8423 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8424 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8425 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8427 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8428 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8429 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8430 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8431 o removed obsolete TODO file
8432 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8433 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8435 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8436 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8437 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8438 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8439 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8440 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8441 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8443 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8446 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8447 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8448 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8450 [The OpenSSL Project]
8453 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8455 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8458 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8461 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8462 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8465 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8466 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8470 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8472 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8474 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8477 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8480 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8483 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8486 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8489 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8492 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8495 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8498 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8501 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8504 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8507 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8510 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8513 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8516 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8519 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8522 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8525 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8526 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8527 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8530 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8531 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8534 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8537 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8540 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8541 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8544 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8547 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8550 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8551 bytes sent in the client random.
