5 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
8 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
9 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
10 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
11 seed, even if the seed is configured.
13 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
14 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
15 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
16 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
17 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
18 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
22 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
23 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
24 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
25 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
27 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
28 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
30 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
31 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
32 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
33 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
35 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
36 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
40 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
41 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
42 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
43 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
44 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
45 of how OpenSSL was configured.
47 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
48 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
49 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
52 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
55 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
56 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
57 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
61 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
62 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
63 old #define's might need to be updated.
64 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
66 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
69 *) New "unified" build system
71 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
72 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
74 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
75 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
76 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
78 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
79 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
80 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
81 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
84 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
87 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
88 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
89 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
90 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
93 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
94 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
96 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
97 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
98 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
99 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
100 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
101 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
102 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
103 have been adapted accordingly.
106 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
110 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
111 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
112 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
113 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
116 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
117 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
118 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
122 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
123 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
126 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
127 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
128 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
130 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
131 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
132 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
134 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
135 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
137 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
138 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
139 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
140 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
143 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
144 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
145 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
146 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
147 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
151 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
152 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
153 straightforward and less interdependent.
155 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
156 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
157 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
159 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
160 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
161 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
163 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
164 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
165 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
166 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
168 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
169 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
172 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
173 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
174 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
175 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
179 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
181 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
183 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
184 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
185 before trying to build now.*
188 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
192 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
194 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
195 the application's responsibility. The application provides
196 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
197 used to authenticate the peer.
199 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
200 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
201 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
202 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
203 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
206 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
207 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
208 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
209 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
210 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
211 or the 1.1.0 releases.
213 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
214 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
215 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
216 support for the deprecated features from the library and
217 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
218 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
219 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
220 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
223 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
224 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
225 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
226 compile with later releases.
228 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
229 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
230 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
231 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
232 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
235 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
236 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
237 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
238 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
239 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
240 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
241 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
242 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
245 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
248 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
249 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
250 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
253 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
254 include the ec.h header file instead.
257 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
258 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
259 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
262 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
263 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
266 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
267 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
269 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
270 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
271 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
274 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
275 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
276 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
277 an already created structure.
278 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
279 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
280 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
281 for deprecated builds.
284 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
285 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
286 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
287 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
288 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
289 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
290 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
293 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
294 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
295 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
296 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
299 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
300 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
303 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
304 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
307 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
308 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
309 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
310 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
311 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
312 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
313 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
317 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
318 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
319 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
322 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
325 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
327 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
329 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
331 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
332 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
340 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
341 set a mandatory field to NULL.
343 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
344 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
345 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
349 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
352 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
353 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
354 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
355 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
358 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
359 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
360 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
361 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
364 *) Fix no-stdio build.
365 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
366 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
368 *) New testing framework
369 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
370 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
371 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
372 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
373 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
374 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
376 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
378 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
379 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
383 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
384 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
385 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
386 and others were changed. All are now documented.
389 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
391 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
393 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
394 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
396 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
397 original RSA_PSK patch.
400 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
401 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
402 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
403 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
406 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
407 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
410 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
411 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
412 hasn't been working properly for a while.
415 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
416 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
417 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
418 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
422 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
423 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
424 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
425 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
428 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
429 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
430 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
431 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
432 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
433 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
436 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
437 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
438 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
439 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
440 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
441 header file has been removed.
444 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
445 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
448 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
449 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
450 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
452 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
456 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
459 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
463 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
466 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
467 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
468 initial patch which was a great help during development.
471 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
472 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
473 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
474 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
477 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
478 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
479 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
480 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
481 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
482 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
485 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
486 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
487 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
488 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
491 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
492 compatible client hello.
495 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
496 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
497 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
499 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
502 *) Removed old DES API.
505 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
511 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
516 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
519 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
520 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
521 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
522 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
523 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
524 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
525 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
526 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
527 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
528 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
529 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
532 *) Cleaned up dead code
533 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
536 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
537 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
538 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
541 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
542 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
543 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
546 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
547 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
548 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
550 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
551 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
552 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
554 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
556 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
558 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
559 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
560 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
562 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
563 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
565 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
566 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
569 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
570 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
571 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
572 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
574 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
575 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
576 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
577 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
579 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
580 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
581 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
583 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
584 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
587 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
589 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
590 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
592 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
593 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
595 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
598 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
602 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
603 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
604 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
605 algorithms and include tests cases.
608 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
612 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
613 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
616 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
617 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
619 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
620 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
623 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
624 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
628 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
629 sign or verify all in one operation.
632 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
633 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
634 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
637 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
640 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
643 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
644 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
645 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
646 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
647 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
650 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
654 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
655 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
656 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
659 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
660 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
663 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
666 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
667 POST to handle HMAC cases.
670 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
671 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
674 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
675 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
676 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
679 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
680 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
681 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
682 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
683 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
684 requested amount of entropy.
687 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
688 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
691 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
692 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
693 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
697 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
698 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
699 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
702 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
703 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
704 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
705 will never use XTS mode.
708 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
709 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
710 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
711 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
712 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
713 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
716 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
717 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
718 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
719 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
722 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
723 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
724 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
727 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
730 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
733 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
734 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
737 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
738 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
741 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
742 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
745 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
746 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
747 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
748 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
749 and rename any affected symbols.
752 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
753 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
756 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
757 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
758 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
761 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
764 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
765 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
766 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
769 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
770 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
773 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
774 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
775 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
776 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
777 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
778 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
782 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
783 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
784 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
785 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
786 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
787 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
788 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
789 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
792 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
793 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
796 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
798 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
799 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
801 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
802 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
803 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
804 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
805 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
806 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
808 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
809 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
810 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
812 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
814 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
818 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
819 Add CMAC pkey methods.
822 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
823 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
824 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
827 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
828 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
829 multi-process servers.
832 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
833 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
834 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
835 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
836 RAND_METHOD structure.
839 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
840 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
841 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
842 whose return value is often ignored.
845 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
846 *) DH small subgroups
848 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
849 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
850 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
851 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
852 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
853 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
854 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
855 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
856 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
857 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
859 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
860 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
861 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
862 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
863 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
865 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
866 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
867 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
868 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
870 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
871 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
873 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
877 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
879 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
880 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
881 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
884 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
885 and Sebastian Schinzel.
889 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
891 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
893 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
894 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
895 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
896 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
897 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
898 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
899 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
900 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
901 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
902 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
903 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
904 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
906 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
910 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
912 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
913 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
914 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
915 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
916 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
917 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
918 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
921 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
925 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
927 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
928 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
929 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
930 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
932 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
937 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
938 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
939 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
940 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
943 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
945 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
947 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
949 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
951 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
952 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
953 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
954 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
955 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
956 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
958 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
962 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
964 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
965 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
969 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
971 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
973 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
974 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
977 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
978 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
979 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
980 client authentication enabled.
982 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
986 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
988 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
989 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
990 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
993 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
994 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
995 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
996 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
997 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1000 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1001 independently by Hanno Böck.
1005 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1007 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1008 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1009 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1011 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1012 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1013 servers are not affected.
1015 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1019 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1021 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1022 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1023 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1025 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
1029 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1031 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1032 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1033 a double free of the ticket data.
1037 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
1038 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
1039 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
1042 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
1044 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1046 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1047 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1048 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1050 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1053 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1055 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1057 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1058 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1059 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1060 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1061 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1062 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1063 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1064 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1066 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1070 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1072 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1073 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1074 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1075 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1076 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1077 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1078 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1079 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1082 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1086 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1088 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1089 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1090 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1091 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1092 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1093 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1097 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1099 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1100 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1101 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1102 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1103 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1104 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1105 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1107 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1111 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1113 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1114 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1115 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1117 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1118 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1119 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1124 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1126 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1127 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1128 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1130 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1131 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1132 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1134 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1138 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1140 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1141 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1142 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1144 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1145 (OpenSSL development team).
1149 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1151 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1152 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1153 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1157 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1159 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1160 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1161 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1162 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1163 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1164 SSL_client_methodv23)
1165 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1166 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1168 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1169 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1170 output may be predictable.
1172 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1173 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1175 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1179 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1181 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1182 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1183 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1184 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1185 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1186 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1188 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1193 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1195 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1196 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1198 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1202 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1205 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1207 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1208 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1209 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
1210 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1211 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1212 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1215 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1216 (other platforms pending).
1217 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1219 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1220 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1223 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1224 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1225 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1228 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1229 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1230 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1231 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1234 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1235 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1237 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1238 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1239 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1240 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1241 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1243 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1246 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1247 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1248 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1249 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1251 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1253 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1255 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1256 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1257 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1260 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1263 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1264 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1265 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1268 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1269 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1272 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1273 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1276 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1277 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1278 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1279 algorithms and include tests cases.
1282 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1284 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1286 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1287 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1290 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1291 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1292 summary of the connection parameters.
1295 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1296 of connection parameters.
1299 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1300 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1302 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1303 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1306 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1309 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1310 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1313 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1314 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1317 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1321 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1322 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1323 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1326 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1329 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1330 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1333 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1334 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1335 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1339 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1340 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1343 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1347 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1351 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1352 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1353 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1354 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1357 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1358 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1361 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1362 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1363 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1367 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1368 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1369 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1370 use the certificate.
1373 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1376 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1377 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1378 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1379 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1380 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1381 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1382 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1384 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1385 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1389 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1390 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1391 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1394 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1395 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1396 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1397 supported signature algorithms.
1400 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1403 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1404 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1405 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1406 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1407 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1408 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1409 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1412 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1413 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1414 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1415 to have similar checks in it.
1417 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1418 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1419 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1420 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1421 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1424 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1425 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1426 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1427 shared signature algorithms.
1430 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1431 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1435 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1436 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1437 it couldn't be removed.
1440 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1441 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1444 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1445 functions. Add manual page.
1446 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1448 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1449 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1453 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1454 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1456 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1457 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1458 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1459 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1463 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1464 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1467 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1468 platform support for Linux and Android.
1471 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1474 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1475 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1476 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1477 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1478 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1481 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1482 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1483 the new parameter format automatically.
1486 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1487 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1490 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1493 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1494 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1495 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1496 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1497 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1500 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1501 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1502 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1503 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1504 to set list of supported curves.
1507 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1508 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1509 to print out received values.
1512 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1513 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1514 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1517 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1518 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1521 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1522 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1525 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1529 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1531 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1532 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1533 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1535 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1537 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1538 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1540 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1542 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1543 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1544 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1545 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1549 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1550 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1551 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1552 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1553 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1554 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1558 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1559 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1560 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1561 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1565 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1568 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1569 reporting this issue.
1573 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1574 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1575 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1576 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1577 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1578 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1582 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1583 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1584 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1585 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1586 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1587 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1588 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1593 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1594 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1596 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1597 and can vary with the CTX.
1600 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1602 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1603 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1604 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1605 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1606 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1608 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1610 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1611 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1613 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1615 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1616 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1617 errors for some broken certificates.
1619 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1621 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1623 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1624 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1626 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1627 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1628 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1629 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1631 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1632 of the OpenSSL core team.
1637 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1638 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1639 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1640 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1641 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1642 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1643 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1644 the OpenSSL core team.
1648 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1649 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1650 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1651 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1652 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1654 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1655 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1656 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1659 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1660 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1661 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1662 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1663 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1665 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1666 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1667 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1670 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1672 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1674 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1675 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1676 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1677 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1678 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1679 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1680 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1682 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1686 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1688 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1689 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1690 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1691 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1692 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1697 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1699 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1700 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1701 configured to send them.
1703 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1705 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1706 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1707 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1709 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1711 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1713 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1714 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1715 DigestInfo structures.
1717 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1721 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1723 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1724 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1725 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1727 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1728 Group for discovering this issue.
1732 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1733 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1734 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1735 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1736 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1738 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1739 researching this issue.
1743 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1744 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1745 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1746 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1748 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1753 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1754 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1755 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1759 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1760 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1761 Denial of Service attack.
1762 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1766 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1767 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1768 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1769 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1774 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1775 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1776 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1778 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1783 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1784 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1785 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1786 Denial of Service attack.
1788 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1789 discovering and researching this issue.
1793 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1794 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1795 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1796 output to the attacker.
1798 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1800 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1802 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1803 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1804 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1807 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1809 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1810 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1811 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1813 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1814 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1815 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1817 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1818 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1821 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1823 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1825 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1826 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1827 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1828 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1830 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1831 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1833 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1834 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1836 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1837 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1838 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1840 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1842 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1844 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1845 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
1846 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1848 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1849 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1851 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1853 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1854 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1857 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1858 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1859 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1860 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1862 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1863 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1864 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1865 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1867 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1868 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1869 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1871 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1873 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1874 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1875 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1876 is at least 512 bytes long.
1878 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1880 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1882 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1883 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1884 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1887 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1888 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1889 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1892 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1893 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1894 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1895 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1896 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1897 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1898 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1900 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1902 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1903 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1904 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1906 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1908 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1910 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1911 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1912 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1914 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1915 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1916 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1917 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1919 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1921 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1922 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1923 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1924 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1925 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1929 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1930 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1933 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1934 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1936 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1937 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1938 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1939 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1940 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1942 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1945 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1949 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1951 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1952 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1954 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1955 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1959 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1960 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1963 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1967 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1969 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1970 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1971 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1972 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1973 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1974 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1975 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1976 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1977 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1978 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1981 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1982 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1983 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1984 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1985 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1986 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1990 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1992 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1993 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1994 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1996 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1997 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1999 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2001 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2004 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2005 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2007 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2008 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2009 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2010 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2011 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2012 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2013 Most broken servers should now work.
2014 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2015 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2018 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2021 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2023 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2024 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2027 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2028 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2029 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2030 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2031 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2034 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2035 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2036 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2037 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2038 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2041 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2042 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2044 *) Add support for SCTP.
2045 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2047 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2048 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2050 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2052 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2053 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2054 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2055 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2056 - s390x: z196 support;
2057 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2061 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2062 (removal of unnecessary code)
2063 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2065 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2068 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2071 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2072 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2073 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2075 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2077 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2078 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2079 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2080 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2081 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2083 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2084 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2085 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2087 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2088 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2089 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2091 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2092 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2094 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2096 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2097 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2098 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2101 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2102 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2106 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2107 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2108 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2111 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2112 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2113 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2114 the appropriate parameters.
2117 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2118 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2119 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2120 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2121 against a number of sample certificates.
2124 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2125 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2127 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2128 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2130 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2131 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2135 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2139 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2140 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2141 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2142 password based CMS).
2145 *) Session-handling fixes:
2146 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2147 but also support Session Tickets.
2148 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2149 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2150 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2151 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2152 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2153 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2155 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2158 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2160 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2163 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2164 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2165 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2166 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2167 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2170 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2171 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2174 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2175 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2176 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2179 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2180 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2181 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2182 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2185 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2186 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2187 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2190 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2191 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2193 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2196 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2197 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2200 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2203 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2204 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2207 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2208 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2211 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2214 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2215 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2216 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2219 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2222 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2225 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2226 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2229 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2230 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2231 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2234 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2237 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2241 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2242 FIPS modules versions.
2245 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2246 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2247 until after the certificate request message is received.
2250 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2251 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2252 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2253 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2256 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2257 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2258 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2259 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2262 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2263 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2264 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2265 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2266 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2267 and version checking.
2270 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2271 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2272 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2273 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2277 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2279 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2282 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2283 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2284 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2286 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2287 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2288 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2291 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2292 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2294 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2295 a few changes are required:
2297 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2298 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2299 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2300 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2301 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2304 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2306 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2307 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2308 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2309 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2310 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2311 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2312 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2313 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2314 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2317 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2318 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2319 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2322 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2324 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2325 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2326 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2327 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2330 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2332 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2333 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2334 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2335 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2336 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2337 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2338 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2339 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2340 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2341 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2342 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2343 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2344 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2346 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2348 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2350 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2351 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2352 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2353 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2355 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2356 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2358 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2359 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2360 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2361 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2363 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2364 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2366 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2367 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2369 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2370 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2372 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2373 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2374 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2376 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2377 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2378 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2380 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2381 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2382 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2383 the last update always remained unused).
2384 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2386 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2387 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2389 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2391 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2392 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2393 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2395 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2396 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2397 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2399 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2402 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2403 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2404 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2407 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2408 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2410 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2412 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2414 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2416 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2417 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2419 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2420 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2424 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2426 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2427 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2428 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2431 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2432 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2433 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2436 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2438 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2439 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2440 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2443 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2447 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2449 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2451 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2453 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2455 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2456 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2457 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2460 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2463 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2464 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2465 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2467 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2468 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2469 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2472 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2473 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2476 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2477 some responders need this.
2480 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2482 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2484 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2485 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2486 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2489 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2492 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2493 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2494 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2495 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2496 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2497 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2498 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2499 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2502 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2503 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2504 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2505 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2507 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2508 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2510 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2514 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2515 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2516 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2517 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2518 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2519 attempting to work them out.
2522 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2523 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2524 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2525 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2528 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2529 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2530 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2531 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2532 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2535 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2536 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2543 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2545 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2549 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2550 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2552 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2553 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2555 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2556 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2557 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2558 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2559 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2562 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2563 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2564 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2567 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2568 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2571 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2572 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2574 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2575 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2578 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2581 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2582 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2583 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2587 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2588 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2589 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2590 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2591 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2592 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2595 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2596 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2598 This work was sponsored by Google.
2601 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2602 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2603 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2604 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2605 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2606 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2607 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2610 This work was sponsored by Google.
2613 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2615 This work was sponsored by Google.
2618 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2619 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2620 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2621 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2623 This work was sponsored by Google.
2626 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2627 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2628 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2629 CRL functionality in future.
2631 This work was sponsored by Google.
2634 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2636 This work was sponsored by Google.
2639 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2640 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2642 This work was sponsored by Google.
2645 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2646 and URI types are currently supported.
2648 This work was sponsored by Google.
2651 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2652 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2653 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2654 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2655 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2656 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2657 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2658 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2660 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2661 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2662 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2664 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2665 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2666 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2667 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2669 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2670 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2671 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2672 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2673 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2674 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2675 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2676 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2678 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2680 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2681 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2682 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2684 This work was sponsored by Google.
2687 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2690 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2691 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2692 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2695 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2696 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2699 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2700 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2703 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2704 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2705 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2706 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2707 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2708 content types and variants.
2711 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2714 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2715 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2716 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2717 files from the associated perl scripts.
2720 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2721 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2722 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2724 *) s390x assembler pack.
2727 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2731 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2732 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2733 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2734 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2735 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2736 to use. For example, specify an option
2738 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2740 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2741 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2742 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2743 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2744 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2745 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2747 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2748 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2749 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2750 return non-zero for success.
2752 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2755 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2756 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2760 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2763 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2764 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2765 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2766 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2767 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2768 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2769 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2770 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2771 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2773 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2774 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2775 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2776 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2777 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2778 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2780 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2781 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2782 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2783 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2784 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2785 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2789 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2792 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2794 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2795 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2796 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2799 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2800 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2803 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2804 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2805 with no application modification.
2807 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2808 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2810 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2811 or server extensions to be examined.
2813 This work was sponsored by Google.
2816 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2817 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2818 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2820 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2821 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2822 ciphersuite support.
2823 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2825 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2826 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2827 to output in BER and PEM format.
2830 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2831 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2832 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2833 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2834 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2837 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2838 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2839 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2843 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2844 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2845 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2846 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2847 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2848 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2849 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2850 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2853 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2854 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2855 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2856 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2858 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2859 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2860 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2864 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2865 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2866 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2867 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2868 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2869 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2870 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2871 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2872 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2874 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2875 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2876 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2877 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2878 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2879 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2880 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2881 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2882 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2883 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2884 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2887 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2888 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2889 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2891 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2892 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2896 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2897 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2898 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2901 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2902 it yet and it is largely untested.
2905 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2908 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2909 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2910 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2913 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2916 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2917 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2918 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2919 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2922 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2923 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2924 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2925 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2926 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2929 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2930 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2933 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2934 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2935 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2936 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2939 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2940 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2941 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2942 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2945 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2946 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2949 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2950 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2951 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2952 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2955 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2956 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2957 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2960 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2964 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2965 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2968 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2969 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2970 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2974 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2975 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2976 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2979 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2980 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2981 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2982 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2985 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2986 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2987 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2988 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2989 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2990 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2993 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2994 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2995 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2996 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2997 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2999 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3000 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3001 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3002 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3003 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3006 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3007 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3008 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3009 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3011 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3012 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3013 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3014 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3015 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3021 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3022 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3026 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3027 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3030 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3031 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3034 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3035 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3036 functional reference processing.
3039 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3040 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3044 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3045 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3046 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3049 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3050 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3051 application to support multiple signers.
3054 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3058 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3059 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3060 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3061 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3062 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3065 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3069 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3070 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3071 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3072 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3076 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3077 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3078 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3079 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3080 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3081 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3082 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3083 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3086 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3087 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3088 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3089 between digests and public key types.
3092 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3093 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3094 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3095 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3098 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3099 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3103 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3106 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3110 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3111 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3112 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3113 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3118 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3120 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3122 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3124 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3125 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3126 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3127 functionality for RSA.
3130 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3131 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3132 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3135 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3136 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3139 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3140 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3141 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3144 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3145 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3148 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3149 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3152 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3153 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3157 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3158 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3159 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3163 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3164 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3165 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3166 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3167 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3168 of public and private key structures.
3171 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3172 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3175 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3176 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3177 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.

3189 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3191 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3192 and response verification functionality.
3193 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3195 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3196 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3197 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3198 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3199 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3200 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3201 server_name extension.
3203 New functions (subject to change):
3205 SSL_get_servername()
3206 SSL_get_servername_type()
3209 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3211 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3212 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3213 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3214 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3215 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3217 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3219 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3220 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3221 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3222 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3223 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3224 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3227 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3229 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3232 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3233 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3234 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3235 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3236 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3239 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3240 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3244 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3245 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3246 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3247 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3250 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3251 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3252 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3253 using the maximum available value.
3256 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3257 in addition to the text details.
3260 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3261 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3262 handle several customised structures at all.
3265 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3266 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3267 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3270 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3273 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3274 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3275 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3278 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3279 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3280 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3283 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3284 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3288 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3291 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3294 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3296 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3297 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3298 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3299 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3300 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3301 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3302 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3303 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3305 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3306 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3307 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3309 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3311 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3312 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3314 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3315 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3318 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3319 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3320 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3323 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3324 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3325 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3326 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3327 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3328 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3331 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3332 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3333 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3336 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3337 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3338 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3339 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3340 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3341 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3345 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3346 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3349 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3350 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3351 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3354 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3357 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3358 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3359 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3360 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3361 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3362 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3363 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3364 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3365 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3368 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3369 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3370 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3373 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3374 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3377 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3378 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3379 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3380 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3381 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3382 know what you are doing.
3383 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3385 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3386 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3387 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3388 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3389 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3390 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3394 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3395 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3396 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3398 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3400 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3401 warnings in other configurations.
3404 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3405 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3406 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3408 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3410 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3411 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3412 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3414 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3415 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3416 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3417 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3420 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3424 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3425 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3427 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3429 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3430 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3431 other than a simple chain.
3432 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3434 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3435 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3436 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3437 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3440 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3441 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3442 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3443 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3444 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3445 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3446 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3447 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3448 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3450 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3451 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3452 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3453 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3454 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3455 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3457 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3459 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3460 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3463 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3464 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3467 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3469 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3471 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3472 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3473 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3474 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3475 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3479 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3481 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3482 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3483 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3484 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3486 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3487 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3488 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3489 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3491 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3492 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3493 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3496 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3497 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3501 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3502 to handle some structures.
3505 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3507 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3509 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3512 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3515 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3518 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3519 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3523 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3525 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3527 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3529 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3532 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3533 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3534 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3535 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3537 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3538 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3540 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3541 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3544 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3545 s_client and s_server.
3548 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3549 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3551 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3552 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3554 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3555 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3556 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3557 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3558 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3561 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3563 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3564 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3567 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3568 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3571 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3572 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3573 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3574 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3576 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3577 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3579 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3581 *) Various precautionary measures:
3583 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3585 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3586 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3587 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3589 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3590 outside the expected range.
3592 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3595 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3597 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3598 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3599 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3601 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3604 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3607 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3609 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3612 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3613 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3614 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3616 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3619 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3620 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3621 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3625 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3627 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3628 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3629 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3630 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3632 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3633 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3636 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3638 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3639 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3640 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3642 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3644 The OpenSSL project does not recommend&nbs
