5 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
8 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
10 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
11 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
12 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
13 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
14 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
17 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
18 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
19 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
22 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
23 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
26 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
27 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
29 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
30 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
33 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
36 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
37 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
38 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
42 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
43 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
44 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
45 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
46 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
47 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
50 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
51 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
53 This work was sponsored by Google.
56 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
57 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
58 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
59 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
60 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
61 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
62 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
65 This work was sponsored by Google.
68 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
70 This work was sponsored by Google.
73 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
74 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
75 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
76 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
78 This work was sponsored by Google.
81 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
82 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
83 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
84 CRL functionality in future.
86 This work was sponsored by Google.
89 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
91 This work was sponsored by Google.
94 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
95 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
97 This work was sponsored by Google.
100 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
101 and URI types are currently supported.
103 This work was sponsored by Google.
106 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
107 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
108 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
109 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
110 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
111 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
112 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
113 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
115 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
116 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
117 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
119 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
120 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
121 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
122 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
124 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
125 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
126 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
127 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
128 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
129 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
130 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
131 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
133 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
135 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
136 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
137 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
139 This work was sponsored by Google.
142 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
145 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
146 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
147 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
150 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
151 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
154 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
155 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
158 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
159 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
160 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
161 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
162 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
163 content types and variants.
166 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
169 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
170 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
171 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
172 files from the associated perl scripts.
175 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
176 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
177 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
179 *) s390x assembler pack.
182 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
186 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
187 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
188 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
189 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
190 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
191 to use. For example, specify an option
193 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
195 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
196 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
197 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
198 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
199 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
200 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
202 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
203 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
204 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
205 return non-zero for success.
207 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
210 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
211 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
215 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
218 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
219 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
220 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
221 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
222 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
223 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
224 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
225 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
226 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
228 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
229 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
230 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
231 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
232 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
233 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
235 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
236 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
237 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
238 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
239 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
240 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
244 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
247 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
249 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
250 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
251 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
254 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
255 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
258 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
259 protection in servers so again support should be possible
260 with no application modification.
262 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
263 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
265 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
266 or server extensions to be examined.
268 This work was sponsored by Google.
271 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
272 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
273 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
275 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
276 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
278 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
280 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
281 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
282 to output in BER and PEM format.
285 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
286 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
287 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
288 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
289 -macopt options to dgst utility.
292 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
293 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
294 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
298 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
299 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
300 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
301 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
302 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
303 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
304 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
305 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
308 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
309 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
310 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
311 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
313 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
314 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
315 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
319 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
320 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
321 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
322 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
323 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
324 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
325 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
326 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
327 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
329 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
330 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
331 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
332 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
333 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
334 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
335 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
336 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
337 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
338 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
339 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
342 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
343 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
344 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
346 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
347 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
351 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
352 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
353 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
356 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
357 it yet and it is largely untested.
360 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
363 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
364 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
365 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
368 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
371 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
372 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
373 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
374 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
377 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
378 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
379 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
380 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
381 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
384 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
385 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
388 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
389 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
390 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
391 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
394 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
395 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
396 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
397 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
400 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
401 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
404 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
405 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
406 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
407 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
410 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
411 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
412 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
415 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
419 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
420 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
423 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
424 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
425 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
429 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
430 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
431 to free up any added signature OIDs.
434 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
435 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
436 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
437 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
440 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
441 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
442 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
443 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
444 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
445 the array representation useful in a more general context.
448 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
449 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
450 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
451 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
452 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
454 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
455 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
456 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
457 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
458 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
461 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
462 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
463 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
464 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
466 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
467 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
468 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
469 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
470 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
476 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
477 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
481 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
482 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
485 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
486 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
489 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
490 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
491 functional reference processing.
494 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
495 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
499 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
500 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
501 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
504 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
505 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
506 application to support multiple signers.
509 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
513 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
514 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
515 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
516 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
517 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
520 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
524 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
525 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
526 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
527 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
531 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
532 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
533 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
534 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
535 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
536 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
537 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
538 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
541 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
542 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
543 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
544 between digests and public key types.
547 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
548 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
549 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
550 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
553 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
554 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
558 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
561 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
565 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
566 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
567 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
568 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
573 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
575 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
577 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
579 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
580 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
581 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
582 functionality for RSA.
585 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
586 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
587 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
590 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
591 key API, doesn't do much yet.
594 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
595 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
596 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
599 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
600 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
603 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
604 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
607 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
608 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
612 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
613 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
614 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
618 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
619 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
620 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
621 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
622 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
623 of public and private key structures.
626 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
627 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
630 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
631 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
632 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
635 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
639 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
640 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
642 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
644 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
646 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
647 and response verification functionality.
648 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
650 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
651 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
652 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
653 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
654 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
655 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
656 server_name extension.
658 New functions (subject to change):
661 SSL_get_servername_type()
664 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
666 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
667 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
668 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
669 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
670 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
672 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
674 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
675 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
676 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
677 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
678 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
679 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
682 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
684 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
687 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
688 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
689 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
690 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
691 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
694 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
695 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
699 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
700 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
701 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
702 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
705 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
706 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
707 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
708 using the maximum available value.
711 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
712 in addition to the text details.
715 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
716 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
717 handle several customised structures at all.
720 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
721 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
722 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
725 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
728 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
729 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
730 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
733 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
734 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
735 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
738 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
739 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
743 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
746 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
749 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [xx XXX xxxx]
751 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
752 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
756 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
757 to handle some structures.
760 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
762 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
764 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
767 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
770 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
773 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
774 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
778 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
780 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
782 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
784 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
787 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
788 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
789 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
790 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
792 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
793 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
795 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
796 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
799 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
800 s_client and s_server.
803 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
804 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
806 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
807 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
809 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
810 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
811 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
812 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
813 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
816 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
818 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
819 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
822 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
823 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
824 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
825 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
827 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
828 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
830 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
832 *) Various precautionary measures:
834 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
836 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
837 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
838 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
840 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
841 outside the expected range.
843 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
846 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
848 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
849 the load fails. Useful for distros.
850 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
852 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
855 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
858 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
860 This work was sponsored by Logica.
863 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
864 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
865 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
867 This work was sponsored by Logica.
870 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
871 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
872 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
876 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
878 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
879 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
880 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
881 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
883 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
884 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
887 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
889 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
890 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
891 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
893 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
895 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
896 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
897 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
898 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
901 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
902 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
903 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
904 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
905 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
906 invalid read after the end of 'db').
907 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
909 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
911 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
912 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
913 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
914 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
915 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
917 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
918 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
920 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
921 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
922 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
923 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
924 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
926 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
928 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
929 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
930 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
931 sets may exist with different names.
934 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
935 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
936 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
937 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
938 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
939 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
940 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
941 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
942 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
944 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
946 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
947 implemention in the following ways:
949 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
952 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
953 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
954 ignored for embedded content.
956 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
957 with the enable-cms configuration option.
960 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
961 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
962 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
963 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
965 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
966 uncompresses any data passed through it.
969 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
970 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
973 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
974 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
975 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
976 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
977 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
978 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
982 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
983 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
984 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
988 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
989 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
990 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
991 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
992 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
993 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
994 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
995 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
997 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
998 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
999 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1000 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1001 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1002 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1003 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1005 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1006 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1007 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1008 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1009 to s_client and s_server.
1012 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1014 *) Fix various bugs:
1015 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1016 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1017 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1018 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1019 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1021 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1023 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1024 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1025 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1026 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1027 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1028 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1029 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1030 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1033 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1034 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1035 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1038 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1039 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1040 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1043 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1044 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1047 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1048 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1049 with no application modification.
1051 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1052 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1054 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1055 or server extensions to be examined.
1057 This work was sponsored by Google.
1060 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1061 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1062 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1063 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1064 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1065 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1066 server_name extension.
1068 New functions (subject to change):
1070 SSL_get_servername()
1071 SSL_get_servername_type()
1074 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1076 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1077 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1078 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1079 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1080 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1082 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1084 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1085 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1086 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1087 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1088 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1089 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1092 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1094 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1097 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1100 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1101 (which previously caused an internal error).
1104 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1107 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1108 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1110 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1111 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1112 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1114 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1115 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1116 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1117 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1119 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1120 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1121 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1122 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1124 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1125 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1126 information. For detailed background information, see
1127 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1128 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1129 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1130 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1131 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1132 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1133 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1134 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1135 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1136 remove a conditional branch.
1138 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1139 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1140 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1141 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1142 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1143 remains as a deprecated alias.
1145 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1146 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1147 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1148 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1150 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1151 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1152 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1153 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1154 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1155 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1156 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1157 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1159 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1161 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1162 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1163 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1164 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1165 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1166 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1167 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1168 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1169 in a different context.
1172 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1173 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1174 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1177 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1178 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1179 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1181 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1183 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1184 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1185 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1186 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1187 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1190 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1191 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1192 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1193 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1194 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1195 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1198 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1199 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1200 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1201 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1202 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1205 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1206 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1208 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1209 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1210 Improve header file function name parsing.
1213 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1214 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1217 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1219 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1220 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1221 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1223 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1224 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1226 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1227 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1229 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1230 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1231 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1233 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1234 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1235 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1236 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1237 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1238 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1239 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1240 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1241 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1243 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1244 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1245 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1246 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1247 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1249 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1250 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1251 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1252 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1253 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1254 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1255 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1256 multiple values to extend the available space.
1260 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1262 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1263 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1265 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1268 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1269 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1270 undesirable limitations.
1271 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1273 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1274 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1275 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1276 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1277 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1278 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1279 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1282 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1284 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1285 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1286 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1288 The latter two were purportedly from
1289 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1292 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1293 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1294 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1297 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1298 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1301 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1302 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1303 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1304 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1306 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1307 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1308 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1311 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1312 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1313 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1314 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1315 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1316 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1319 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1321 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1322 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1325 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1326 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1328 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1329 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1330 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1331 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1334 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1335 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1338 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1339 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1340 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1341 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1342 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1343 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1344 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1348 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1349 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1350 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1351 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1354 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1355 under VC++ build system.
1358 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1359 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1362 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1364 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1365 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1366 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1367 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1368 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1370 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1371 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1372 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1374 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1377 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1378 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1381 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1382 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1384 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1387 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1388 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1390 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1391 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1394 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1395 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1399 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1401 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1404 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1407 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1408 key into the same file any more.
1411 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1414 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1415 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1417 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1418 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1421 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1422 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1423 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1424 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1425 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1426 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1428 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1429 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1430 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1433 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1434 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1435 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1436 - add new function for parameter creation
1437 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1438 BN_BLINDING parameters
1439 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1440 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1441 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1445 *) Add support for DTLS.
1446 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1448 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1449 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1452 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1453 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1456 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1457 the apps/openssl applications.
1460 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1461 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1462 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1465 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1466 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1468 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1469 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1471 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1472 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1473 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1474 avoid this algorithm.)
1478 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1479 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1480 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1483 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1484 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1487 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1488 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1489 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1492 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1494 The blank line is mandatory.
1498 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1499 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1503 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1504 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1506 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1507 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1508 to support policy checking and print out.
1511 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1512 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1513 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1514 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1516 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1519 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1520 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1522 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1523 implementation contributed by IBM.
1524 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1526 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1527 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1528 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1529 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1531 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1532 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1534 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1535 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1536 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1537 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1538 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1539 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1542 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1543 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1544 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1545 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1546 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1547 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1548 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1551 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1554 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1555 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1556 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1557 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1558 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1559 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1560 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1561 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1564 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1565 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1566 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1567 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1570 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1573 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1576 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1577 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1578 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1579 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1580 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1581 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1582 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1585 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1586 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1589 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1590 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1591 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1594 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1595 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1596 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1600 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1601 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1604 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1605 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1606 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1607 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1610 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1611 initialised value as BN_new().
1612 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1614 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1617 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1618 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1619 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1620 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1621 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1622 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1623 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1624 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1625 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1626 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1627 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1628 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1629 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1630 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1631 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1633 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1634 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1635 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1636 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1639 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1640 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1641 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1642 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1643 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1644 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1645 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1646 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1647 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1650 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1651 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1652 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1653 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1654 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1655 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1656 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1659 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1660 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1661 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1662 these have been updated also.
1665 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1666 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1667 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1668 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1669 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1673 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1674 structure of type "other".
1677 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1678 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1679 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1680 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1681 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1682 situation in the script.
1683 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1685 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1686 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1687 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1688 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1689 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1690 used as premaster secret.
1691 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1693 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1694 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1695 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1697 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1698 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1700 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1701 control of the error stack.
1704 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1707 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1708 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1709 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1710 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1713 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1714 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1715 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1718 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1719 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1720 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1724 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1725 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1726 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1727 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1730 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1731 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1732 the following flags are defined:
1734 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1735 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1736 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1739 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1740 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1741 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1742 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1746 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1747 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1748 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1749 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1750 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1753 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1754 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1755 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1758 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1759 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1760 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1761 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1762 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1763 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1766 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1770 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1773 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1776 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1779 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1780 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1781 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1782 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1783 default implementation more easily.
1786 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1790 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1791 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1794 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1795 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1796 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1797 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1799 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1800 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1801 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1802 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1805 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1806 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1810 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1811 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1812 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1813 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1814 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1815 scalar * generator).
1816 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1818 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1819 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1820 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1824 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1825 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1826 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1827 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1828 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1829 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1830 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1831 linker additions, eg;
1832 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1835 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1836 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1837 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1840 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1841 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1842 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1846 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1847 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1848 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1849 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1852 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1853 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1854 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1855 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1856 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1857 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1858 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1859 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1860 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1861 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1863 Example for using the new callback interface:
1865 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1869 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1871 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1872 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1873 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1874 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1875 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1876 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1881 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1882 available to TLS with the number defined in
1883 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1886 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1887 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1889 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1890 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1891 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1892 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1894 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1895 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1897 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1898 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1902 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1903 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1906 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1907 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1908 and a macro that behave like
1909 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1911 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1914 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1915 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1916 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1918 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1920 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1923 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1924 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1925 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1926 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1928 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1929 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1930 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1931 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1932 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1933 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1934 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1935 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1937 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1938 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1941 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1942 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1944 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1945 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1946 files while avoiding the low level API.
1948 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1949 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1950 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1951 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1953 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1954 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1955 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1956 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1957 instead of the low level API.
1960 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1961 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1962 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1963 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1964 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1967 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1968 down to the template encoder.
1971 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1972 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1975 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1976 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1977 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1978 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1980 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1981 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1983 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1984 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1986 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1987 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1990 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1991 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1992 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1995 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1996 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1998 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1999 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2001 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2002 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2005 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2009 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2010 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2011 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2012 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2013 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2014 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2016 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2017 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2020 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2021 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2022 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2023 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2024 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2025 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2026 various internal method names.)
2028 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2029 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2031 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2032 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2034 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2035 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2037 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2038 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2039 methods are undefined.
2041 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2042 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2044 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2045 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2046 length of the modulus.
2048 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2049 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2051 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2052 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2054 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2055 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2057 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2058 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2059 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2062 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2063 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2064 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2065 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2067 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2068 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2069 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2070 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2072 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2073 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2075 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2076 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2077 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2078 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2079 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2081 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2082 This applies to the following functions:
2087 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2088 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2090 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2091 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2095 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2100 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2102 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2103 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2104 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2105 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2106 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2108 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2109 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2111 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2112 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2113 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2115 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2116 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2118 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2119 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2120 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2121 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2122 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2124 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2126 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2127 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2128 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2129 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2130 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2131 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2132 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2133 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2134 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2135 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2136 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2137 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2139 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2142 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2143 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2144 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2145 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2147 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2148 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2149 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2150 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2155 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2156 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2157 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2158 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2159 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2161 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2162 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2163 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2164 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2165 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2166 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2167 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2168 adding different types of curves.
2169 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2171 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2172 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2173 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2176 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2177 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2179 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2180 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2181 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2182 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2184 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2186 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2187 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2189 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2190 library. Most notably,
2191 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2192 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2193 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2194 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2195 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2196 extracted before the specific public key;
2197 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2198 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2200 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2201 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2203 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2204 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2205 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2206 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2208 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2209 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2210 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2212 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2213 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2214 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2215 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2216 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2217 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2221 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2223 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2224 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2225 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2226 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2227 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2228 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2229 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2230 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2231 in a different context.
2234 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2236 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2238 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2240 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2241 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2242 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2245 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2246 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2247 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2250 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2253 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2254 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2257 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2258 run algorithm test programs.
2261 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2264 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2265 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2266 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2267 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2268 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2271 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2272 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2275 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2277 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2278 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2279 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2281 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2282 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2284 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2285 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2287 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2288 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2289 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2291 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2292 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2293 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2294 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2295 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2296 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2297 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2300 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2302 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2303 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2305 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2306 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2307 undesirable limitations.
2308 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2310 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2312 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2313 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2314 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2316 The latter two were purportedly from
2317 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2320 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2321 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2322 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2325 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2326 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2329 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2331 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2332 module in FIPS mode.
2335 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2338 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2339 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2340 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2341 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2344 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2346 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2347 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2348 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2349 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2350 the difference induced by this change.
2353 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2355 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2356 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2357 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2358 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2359 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2361 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2362 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2363 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2365 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2366 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2369 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2370 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2371 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2372 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2376 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2377 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2378 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2379 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2380 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2382 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2383 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2384 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2385 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2386 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2387 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2389 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2391 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2392 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2393 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2394 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2395 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2398 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2402 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2403 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2404 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2407 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2408 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2409 structures constant.
2412 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2414 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2417 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2418 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2419 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2420 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2421 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2422 some needed definitions.
2425 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2428 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2429 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2430 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2431 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2434 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2436 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2437 server and client random values. Previously
2438 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2439 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2441 This change has negligible security impact because:
2443 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2446 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2449 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2450 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2453 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2456 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2458 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2461 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2462 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2463 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2465 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2468 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2469 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2472 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2473 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2474 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2476 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2479 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2480 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2481 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2485 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2486 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2487 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2488 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2490 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2491 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2492 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2493 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2497 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2499 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2500 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2501 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2502 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2503 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2506 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2509 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2510 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2512 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2513 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2514 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2515 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2516 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2517 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2518 rather than being initialized to 1.
2521 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2523 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2524 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2525 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2527 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2529 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2531 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2532 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2533 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2534 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2535 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2536 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2539 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2540 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2541 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2542 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2543 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2547 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2548 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2549 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2550 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2551 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2554 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2555 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2556 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2560 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2561 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2563 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2566 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2568 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2570 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2571 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2573 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2575 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2576 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2580 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2581 exiting on the first error in a request.
2584 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2585 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2589 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2590 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2591 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2592 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2594 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2595 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2598 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2599 blocks during encryption.
2602 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2603 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2604 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2605 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2609 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2610 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2611 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2612 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2613 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2617 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2619 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2620 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2621 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2622 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2625 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2626 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2627 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2628 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2629 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2631 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2632 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2633 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2634 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2635 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2636 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2637 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2638 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2639 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2642 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2643 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2644 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2645 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2648 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2649 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2652 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2654 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2655 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2656 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2657 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2658 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2660 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2661 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2662 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2664 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2665 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2666 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2667 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2668 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2670 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2671 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2672 used by default when no-err is given.
2675 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2676 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2678 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2679 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2680 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2681 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2682 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2684 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2685 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2686 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2687 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2689 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2691 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2693 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2695 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2696 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2697 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2698 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2702 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2703 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2705 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2706 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2709 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2710 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2711 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2712 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2715 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2716 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2717 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2718 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2719 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2720 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2721 followup to PR #377.
2724 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2725 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2728 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2729 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2730 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2731 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2733 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2735 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2738 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2739 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2740 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2741 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2743 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2747 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2748 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2752 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2753 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2754 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2755 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2756 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2757 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2759 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2760 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2761 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2762 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2763 have to be made anyway).
2766 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2767 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2768 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2771 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2772 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2773 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2776 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2777 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2778 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2780 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2781 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2782 edit numbers of the version.
2783 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2785 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2786 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2787 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2789 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2790 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2792 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2793 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2794 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2796 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2797 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2799 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2800 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2802 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2803 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2805 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2806 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2808 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2810 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2812 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2813 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2814 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2816 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2817 representations in a platform independent manner.
2818 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2820 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2821 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2822 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2824 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2826 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2828 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2829 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2831 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2833 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2835 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2836 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2837 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2839 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2841 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2843 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2844 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2846 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2847 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2849 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2850 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2852 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2853 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2855 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2857 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2859 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2860 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2862 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2863 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2865 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2866 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2868 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2870 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2871 the 0.9.6 release series:
2873 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2874 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2876 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2878 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2881 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2882 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2884 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2885 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2887 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2888 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2889 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2890 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2892 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2893 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2894 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2896 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2897 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2898 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2899 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2901 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2902 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2903 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2906 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2907 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2908 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2909 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2910 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2911 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2912 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2913 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2916 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2917 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2918 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2921 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2922 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2923 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2924 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2925 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2927 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2928 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2930 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2931 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2934 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2935 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2936 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2937 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2938 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2939 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2942 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2943 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2944 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2947 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2948 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2951 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2952 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2953 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2954 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2955 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2956 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2957 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2960 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2961 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2962 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2963 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2964 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2965 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2968 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2969 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2970 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2971 declaration has been changed from
2974 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2975 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2976 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2977 has been changed into
2978 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2980 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2981 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2982 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2984 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2985 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2987 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2988 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2989 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2990 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2991 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2992 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2993 always load it have also been added.
2996 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2997 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2998 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3000 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3002 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3003 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3004 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3006 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3007 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3008 command line option can be used to specify an
3012 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3013 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3016 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3017 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3018 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3021 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3022 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3023 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3024 to work with the new engine framework.
3025 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3027 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3028 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3029 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3030 to work with the new engine framework.
3033 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3034 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3035 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3037 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3038 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3040 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3041 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3042 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3043 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3045 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3047 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3048 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3050 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3051 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3053 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3054 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3055 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3058 *) Add new functions
3060 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3061 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3062 These are similar to
3065 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3066 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3067 still in the error queue.
3068 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3070 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3072 default_algorithms = ALL
3073 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3076 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3079 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3082 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3083 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3084 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3085 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3087 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3088 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3090 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3091 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3093 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3094 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3097 *) New functions/macros
3099 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3100 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3101 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3102 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3104 to request calling a callback function
3106 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3107 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3109 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3110 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3111 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3112 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3113 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3114 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3115 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3116 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3117 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3118 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3120 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3121 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3124 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3125 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3126 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3127 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3128 the configuration scripts.
3130 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3131 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3132 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3134 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3135 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3137 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3138 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3139 when reusing an existing buffer.
3142 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3143 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3146 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3147 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3150 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3151 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3152 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3153 has the same effect.
3154 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3156 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3157 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3158 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3159 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3160 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3161 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3164 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3165 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3166 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3167 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3169 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3170 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3171 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3172 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3174 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3175 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3178 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3179 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3180 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3181 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3182 default), and then completely removed.
3185 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3186 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3187 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3188 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3189 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3190 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3191 particular extension is supported.
3194 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3195 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3198 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3199 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3200 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3201 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3202 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3203 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3204 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3205 requires the destination to be valid.
3207 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3208 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3211 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3212 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3213 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3216 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3217 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3219 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3220 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3221 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3222 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3223 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3224 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3225 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3226 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3227 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3228 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3229 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3230 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3231 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3232 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3233 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3234 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3235 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3236 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3237 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3241 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3244 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3245 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3246 become part of libeay.num as well.
3249 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3250 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3251 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3252 false once a handshake has been completed.
3253 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3254 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3255 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3256 client has followed the request.)
3259 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3260 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3261 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3262 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3264 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3265 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3266 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3269 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3272 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3273 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3274 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3277 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3278 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3281 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3282 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3283 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3284 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3287 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3288 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3289 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3290 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3291 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3292 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3295 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3296 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3297 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3298 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3299 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3300 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3301 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3302 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3305 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3306 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3309 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3312 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3313 md_data void pointer.
3316 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3317 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3318 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3319 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3320 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3321 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3324 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3325 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3326 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3327 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3328 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3329 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3330 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3331 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3332 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3333 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3334 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3335 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3336 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3337 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3338 rather than letting it slide.
3340 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3341 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3342 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3345 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3346 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3347 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3348 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3349 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3350 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3351 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3352 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3353 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3356 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3357 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3358 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3359 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3360 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3362 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3365 *) Add EVP test program.
3368 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3371 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3372 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3373 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3374 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3375 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3378 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3379 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3380 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3381 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3382 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3383 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3384 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3386 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3387 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3388 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3393 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3394 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3395 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3396 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3397 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3401 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3402 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3403 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3404 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3407 des_key_schedule ks;
3409 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3410 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3412 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3415 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3416 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3417 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3418 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3419 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3420 functions prevents this.
3423 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3426 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3427 correct _ecb suffix.
3430 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3431 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3432 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3433 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3434 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3437 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3440 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3441 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3442 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3443 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3445 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3446 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3448 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3449 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3450 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3451 via Richard Levitte]
3453 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3454 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3455 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3456 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3459 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3462 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3477 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3478 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3480 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3481 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3482 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3483 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3484 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3485 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3488 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3489 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3492 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3493 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3494 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3495 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3497 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3498 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3499 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3500 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3501 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3502 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3506 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3507 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3508 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3509 and interrupts/cancellations.
3512 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3513 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3516 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3517 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3518 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3520 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3521 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3525 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3526 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3527 than this minimum value is recommended.
3530 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3531 that are easily reachable.
3534 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3535 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3537 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3539 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3540 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3541 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3542 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3545 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3546 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3547 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3550 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3551 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3552 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3553 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3554 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3555 internally such as S/MIME.
3557 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3558 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3559 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3561 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3565 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3566 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3567 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3568 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3570 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3572 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3574 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3575 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3576 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3580 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3581 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3582 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3583 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3584 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3585 a window system and the like.
3588 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3589 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3592 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3593 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3594 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3595 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3596 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3597 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3598 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3599 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3600 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3604 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3605 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3609 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3610 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3611 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3612 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3613 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3614 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3615 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3616 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3619 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3620 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3621 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3622 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3623 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3624 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3625 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3626 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3627 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3628 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3629 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3630 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3631 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3632 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3633 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3634 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3635 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3638 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3639 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3640 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3641 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3642 internal engine_int.h header.
3645 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3646 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3647 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3648 modify their own ones).
3651 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3652 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3653 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3654 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3655 later on via ctrl() commands.
3656 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3657 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3658 structural references.
3659 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3660 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3661 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3662 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3663 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3664 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3665 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3666 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3667 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3668 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3669 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3670 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3673 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3674 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3675 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3676 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3677 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3678 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3679 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3680 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3683 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3684 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3687 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3688 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3691 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3692 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3693 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3694 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3695 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3696 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3697 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3700 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3701 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3702 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3703 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3704 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3706 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3707 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3711 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3713 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3714 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3715 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3717 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3718 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3720 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3721 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3722 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3724 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3725 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3727 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3728 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3730 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3732 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3733 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3734 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3737 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3738 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3741 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3742 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3743 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3744 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3745 is 40 of more characters long.
3748 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3749 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3753 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3754 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3757 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3758 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3762 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3764 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3765 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3768 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3770 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3771 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3772 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3774 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3775 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3777 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3780 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3784 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3785 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3786 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3787 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3789 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3791 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3792 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3794 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3795 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3796 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3797 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3798 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3799 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3801 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3802 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3804 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3805 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3807 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3808 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3810 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3811 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3812 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3813 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3815 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3816 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3818 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3819 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3821 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3822 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3823 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3824 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3825 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3828 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3829 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3830 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3831 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3834 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3835 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3836 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3840 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3841 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3842 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3843 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3844 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3845 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3846 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3847 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3851 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3852 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3855 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3856 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3857 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3858 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3861 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3862 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3863 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3864 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3865 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3866 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3867 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3868 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3869 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3870 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3873 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3874 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3875 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3876 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3877 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3878 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3879 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3880 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3882 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3883 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3884 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3885 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3888 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3889 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3890 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3891 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3893 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3894 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3895 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3896 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3897 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3901 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3902 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3903 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3904 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3908 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3909 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3910 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3913 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3914 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3915 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3916 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3917 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3920 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3923 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3924 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3925 option to ocsp utility.
3928 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3929 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3930 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3931 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3932 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3933 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3934 the request is nonce-less.
3937 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3938 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3939 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3942 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3943 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3944 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3947 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3948 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3949 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3950 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3951 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3954 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3955 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3959 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3960 additional certificates supplied.
3963 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3964 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3968 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3969 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3972 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3973 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3974 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3975 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3976 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3977 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3978 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3979 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3980 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3982 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3983 request to response.
3986 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3987 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3988 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3989 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3990 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3991 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3992 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3993 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3994 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3995 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3996 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3999 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4000 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4001 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4002 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4005 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4006 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4008 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4009 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4010 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4013 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4014 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4015 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4016 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4017 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4019 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4020 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4021 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4024 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4025 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4026 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4027 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4028 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4029 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4030 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4031 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4033 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4034 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4035 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4036 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4037 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4038 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4041 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4042 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4043 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4044 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4045 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4046 printout format cleaned up.
4049 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4050 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4051 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4052 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4053 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4054 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4055 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4056 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4059 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4060 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4061 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4062 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4063 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4064 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4065 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4066 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4069 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4070 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4071 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4072 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4074 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4076 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4077 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4078 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4079 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4082 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4083 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4084 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4085 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4087 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4089 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4090 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4091 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4092 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4094 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4095 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4097 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4098 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4099 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4102 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4103 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4104 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4107 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4108 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4109 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4110 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4111 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4112 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4113 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4114 functions are provided:
4116 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4117 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4118 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4119 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4121 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4122 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4123 extended allocation function is enabled.
4124 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4125 a conventional allocation function is enabled.

4128 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4129 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4130 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4131 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4132 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4135 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4136 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4137 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4139 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4140 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4141 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4144 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4145 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4146 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4147 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4148 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4149 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4150 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4151 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4152 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4155 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4156 provide utility functions which an application needing
4157 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4158 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4159 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4161 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4162 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4163 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4164 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4165 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4166 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4167 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4168 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4169 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4171 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4172 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4173 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4174 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4177 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4178 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4179 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4180 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4181 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4182 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4183 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4184 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4185 will be added elsewhere.
4188 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4189 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4190 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4191 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4194 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4195 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4196 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4197 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4198 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4199 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4200 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4201 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4202 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4203 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4204 to produce the required SET OF.
4207 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4208 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4209 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4212 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4213 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4214 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4215 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4216 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4217 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4220 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4221 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4222 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4225 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4226 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4227 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4230 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4231 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4232 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can&
