5 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
7 Both OpenSSL 0.9.6a (bugfix release, 5 Apr 2001) and OpenSSL 0.9.7
8 are based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
9 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
10 -) applies to 0.9.6a (/0.9.6b) only
11 *) applies to 0.9.6a (/0.9.6b) and 0.9.7
12 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
14 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
15 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
18 +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
19 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
23 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
25 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
26 RSA encryption was accidentily removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
27 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
28 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
29 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
30 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
31 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
34 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
35 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
36 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
37 detect the supposedly ignored error.
39 Both problems are now fixed.
42 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
43 (previously it was 1024).
46 +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
47 tidy up some unecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
48 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
50 +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
51 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
55 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
56 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
59 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
62 +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
63 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
64 than this minimum value is recommended.
67 +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
68 that are easily reachable.
71 +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
72 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
74 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
76 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
77 delcare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
78 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
79 needed for static libraries under Win32.
82 +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
83 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
84 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
87 +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
88 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
89 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
90 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
91 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
92 internally such as S/MIME.
94 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
95 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
96 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
98 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
102 +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
103 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
104 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
105 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
107 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
109 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
111 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
112 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
113 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
117 +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
118 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
119 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
120 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
121 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
122 a window system and the like.
125 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
126 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
127 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
128 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
129 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
130 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
131 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
132 environment variables.
134 +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
135 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
138 +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
139 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
140 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
141 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
142 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
143 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
144 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
145 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
146 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
150 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
151 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
152 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
155 +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
156 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
160 +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
161 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
162 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
163 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
164 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
165 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
166 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
167 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
170 +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
171 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
172 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
173 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
174 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
175 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
176 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
177 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
178 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
179 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
180 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
181 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
182 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
183 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
184 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
185 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
186 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
189 +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
190 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
191 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
192 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
193 internal engine_int.h header.
196 +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
197 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
198 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
199 modify their own ones).
202 +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
203 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
204 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
205 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
206 later on via ctrl() commands.
207 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
208 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
209 structural references.
210 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
211 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
212 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
213 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
214 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
215 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
216 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
217 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
218 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
219 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
220 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
221 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
224 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
225 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
226 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
229 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
230 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
231 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
232 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
233 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegaly release the lock
234 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
237 +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
238 to the algorithm using long divison. The binary algorithm can be
239 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
240 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
241 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
242 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
243 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
244 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
247 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
251 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
253 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
254 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
256 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
257 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
258 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
259 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
263 +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
264 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
267 -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
268 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
269 amount of data available.
270 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
271 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
273 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
274 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
275 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
276 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
279 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
280 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
284 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
285 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
286 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
287 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
290 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
293 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
296 -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
297 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
299 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
301 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
302 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
303 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
304 (but broken) behaviour.
307 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
309 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
311 +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
312 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
315 +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
316 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
317 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
318 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
319 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
320 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
321 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
324 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
325 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
328 +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
329 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
330 including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
331 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
332 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
336 +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
338 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
339 operations and provides various method functions that can also
340 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
342 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
343 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
345 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
346 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
347 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
349 +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
352 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
353 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
355 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
357 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
358 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
359 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
362 +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
363 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
366 +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
367 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
368 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
369 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
370 is 40 of more characters long.
373 +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
374 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
378 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
382 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
383 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
385 +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
386 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
389 +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
390 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
394 +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
396 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
397 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
400 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
402 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
403 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
404 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
406 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
407 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
409 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
412 +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
416 +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
417 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
418 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
419 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
421 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
423 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
424 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
426 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
429 +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
430 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
431 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
432 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
433 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
434 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
436 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
437 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
439 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
440 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
442 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
443 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
445 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
446 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
447 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
448 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
450 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
451 header file everywere where the defined globals are used.
453 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
454 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different.
456 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
457 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
458 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
459 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
460 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
463 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
464 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
465 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
467 +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
468 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
469 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
470 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
473 +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
474 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
475 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
479 +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
480 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
481 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
482 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
483 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock innacuracy. Instead
484 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
485 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
486 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
490 +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
491 OID rather that just UNKOWN.
494 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
495 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
496 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
499 +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
500 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
501 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
502 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
505 +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
506 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
507 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
508 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
509 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
510 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
511 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
512 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
513 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
514 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
517 +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
518 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
519 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
520 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
521 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
522 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
523 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
524 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
526 +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse prprocessor conditionals
527 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
528 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
529 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
532 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
533 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
536 +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
537 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
538 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
539 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
541 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
542 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
543 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
544 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
545 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
549 +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
550 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
551 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
552 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
556 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
557 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
559 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
561 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
563 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
564 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
565 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
566 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
569 +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
570 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
571 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
574 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
577 +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
578 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
579 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
580 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
581 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
584 +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
587 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
588 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
589 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
591 +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
592 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
593 option to ocsp utility.
596 +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
597 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
598 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
599 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
600 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
601 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
602 the request is nonce-less.
605 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
607 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
609 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
610 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
611 but the code is actually correct.
614 +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
615 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
616 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
619 +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
620 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
621 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
624 +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
625 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
626 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
627 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
630 +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
631 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
635 +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
636 additional certificates supplied.
639 +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
640 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
644 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
645 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
646 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
647 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
648 and leaves the highest bit random.
649 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
651 +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
652 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
653 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
654 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
655 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
657 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
658 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
659 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
660 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
661 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
662 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
663 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
666 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
669 +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
673 +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
674 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
675 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
676 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
677 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
678 reponse and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
679 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
680 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
681 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
682 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
683 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
686 +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
687 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
688 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests tha public_key
689 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
692 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
693 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
696 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
697 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
698 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
699 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
703 +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
704 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
706 +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
707 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
708 reponse then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
711 -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
712 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
713 and break the signature.
715 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
717 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
721 +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
722 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
723 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
724 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
725 <support@securenetterm.com>]
727 +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
728 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
729 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
732 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
733 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
734 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
735 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
736 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
739 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
740 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
742 *) ./config script fixes.
743 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
745 +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
746 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
747 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
748 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
749 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
750 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
751 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
752 <support@securenetterm.com>]
754 +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
755 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
756 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
757 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
758 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
759 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
762 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
765 +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
766 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
767 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
768 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
769 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
770 printout format cleaned up.
773 +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
774 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
775 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
776 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
777 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
778 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
779 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
780 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
783 +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
784 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
785 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
786 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
787 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
788 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
789 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
790 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
793 +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
794 extensions from a separate configuration file.
795 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
796 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
798 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
800 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
801 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
802 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
803 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
804 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
806 +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
807 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
808 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
809 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
812 +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
813 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
814 the given serial number (according to the index file).
815 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
817 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
819 +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
820 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
821 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
822 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
824 +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
825 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
827 +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
828 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
829 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
832 +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
833 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
834 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
837 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
838 call failed, free the DSA structure.
841 +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
842 file name and line number information in additional arguments
843 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
844 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
845 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
846 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
847 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
848 functions are provided:
850 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
851 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
852 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
853 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
855 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
856 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
857 extended allocation function is enabled.
858 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
859 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
860 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
862 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
863 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
866 +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
867 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
868 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
869 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
870 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
873 +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
874 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
875 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
877 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
878 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
879 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
882 +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
883 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
884 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
885 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
886 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
887 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
888 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
889 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
890 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
893 +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
894 provide utility functions which an application needing
895 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
896 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
897 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
899 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
900 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
901 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
902 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
903 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
904 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
905 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
906 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
907 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
909 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
910 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
911 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
912 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
915 +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
916 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
917 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
918 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
919 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
920 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
921 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
922 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
923 will be added elsewhere.
926 +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
927 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
928 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
929 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
932 +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
933 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
934 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
935 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
936 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
937 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
938 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
939 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
940 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
941 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
942 to produce the required SET OF.
945 +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
946 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
947 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
950 +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
951 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
952 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
953 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
954 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
955 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
958 +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
959 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
960 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
963 +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
964 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
965 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
968 +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
969 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
970 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
971 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
972 code will still work when these eventually go away.
975 +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
976 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
979 +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
980 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
981 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
982 certifcates and CRLs.
985 +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
986 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
987 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
990 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
991 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
992 when writing a 32767 byte record.
993 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
995 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
996 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
998 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
999 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
1000 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
1001 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
1002 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
1004 +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1005 entries for variables.
1008 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
1011 +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1012 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1013 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1014 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1017 +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1018 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1019 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1020 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1021 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1022 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1025 +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1026 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1028 +) Move common extension printing code to new function
1029 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1030 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1033 +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1037 +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1038 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1039 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1040 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1041 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1042 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1045 +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1048 +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1049 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1050 for now but they will eventually go away.
1053 +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1054 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1055 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1056 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1057 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1058 has also been converted to the new form.
1061 +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1062 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1063 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1064 for negative moduli.
1067 +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1068 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1071 +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1075 +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1076 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1077 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1078 type-specific callbacks.
1081 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
1084 +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1086 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1087 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1089 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
1092 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
1095 +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1096 in sections depending on the subject.
1099 +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1103 +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1104 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1105 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1106 be handled deterministically).
1107 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1109 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
1110 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
1113 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
1114 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
1115 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
1116 result of the server certificate verification.)
1119 +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1120 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1121 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1124 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
1125 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
1126 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
1130 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
1131 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
1132 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
1133 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
1134 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
1135 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
1136 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
1137 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
1140 +) New function BN_kronecker.
1143 +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1144 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1145 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1146 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1147 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1150 +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1151 sign of the number in question.
1153 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1155 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1156 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1157 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1158 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1159 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1162 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
1163 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
1164 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
1165 happening the other way round.
1168 +) New function BN_swap.
1171 +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1172 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1173 results on negative inputs.
1176 +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1177 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1178 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1181 +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1182 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1183 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1184 and add new functions:
1193 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1197 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1199 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1200 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1202 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1203 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1204 be reduced modulo m.
1205 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1207 +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1208 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1209 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1210 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1211 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1212 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1216 +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1217 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1218 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1219 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1220 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1222 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1223 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1224 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1228 +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1231 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
1232 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
1235 +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1236 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1239 +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1240 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1241 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1242 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1246 +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1249 +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1252 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
1253 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
1254 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
1255 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
1258 +) Add the following functions:
1260 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1262 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1264 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1266 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1267 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1268 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1269 libraries unless it's really needed.
1271 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1272 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1273 declarations (they differed!).
1276 +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1279 +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1282 +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1285 +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1286 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1289 +) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1290 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1292 +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1293 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1294 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1296 +) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1298 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
1300 +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1301 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1304 +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1307 +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1310 +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1313 +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1314 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1315 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1317 +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1318 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1319 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1320 different shared library filenames on each system.
1323 +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1326 +) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
1329 +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1330 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1331 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1333 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1336 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1337 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1338 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1339 binary backward compatibility.
1340 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1341 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1342 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1346 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
1347 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
1349 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
1351 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
1352 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
1353 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
1356 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
1358 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
1360 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
1364 +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1365 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1366 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1367 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1371 +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1374 +) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1375 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1376 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1377 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1381 +) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1384 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
1386 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
1387 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
1388 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
1389 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
1390 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
1392 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
1393 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
1397 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
1400 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
1402 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
1403 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
1404 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
1405 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
1406 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
1407 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
1408 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
1409 by the Finished messages.
1412 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
1413 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
1415 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
1416 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
1417 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
1418 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
1419 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
1423 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
1424 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
1425 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
1426 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
1427 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
1428 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
1429 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
1430 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
1431 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
1435 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
1436 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
1437 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
1438 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
1440 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
1441 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
1442 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
1443 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
1444 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
1447 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
1448 been tested well enough.
1451 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
1452 it can return incorrect results.
1453 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
1454 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
1457 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
1458 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
1459 include zero length content when signing messages.
1462 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
1463 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
1466 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
1469 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
1473 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
1474 packages. The default package contains applications, application
1475 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
1476 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
1477 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
1478 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
1481 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
1482 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1484 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
1485 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
1487 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
1488 random number < q in the DSA library.
1491 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
1492 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
1493 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
1494 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
1495 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
1496 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
1497 just makes things more complicated.)
1500 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
1504 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
1505 work better on such systems.
1506 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1508 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
1509 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
1510 keyid to the certificates aux info.
1513 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
1514 if there was more than one signature.
1515 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
1517 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
1518 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
1519 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
1520 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
1523 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
1524 rather than always using the current time.
1527 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
1528 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
1529 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
1530 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
1531 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
1532 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
1534 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
1535 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
1537 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
1539 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
1540 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
1541 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
1542 the same hash value.
1544 As a result various functions (which were all internal
1545 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
1546 structure. This will break anything that messed round
1547 with X509_STORE internally.
1549 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
1550 exact match, rather than just subject name.
1552 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
1553 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
1554 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
1555 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
1556 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
1557 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
1558 entirely (maybe later...).
1560 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
1562 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
1563 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
1564 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
1565 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
1566 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
1567 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
1568 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
1569 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
1571 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
1572 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1574 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
1575 to customise the verify behaviour.
1578 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
1579 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
1582 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
1583 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
1584 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
1585 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
1586 request is improperly encoded.
1589 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
1590 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
1593 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
1594 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
1596 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
1597 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
1601 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
1602 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
1603 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
1606 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
1607 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
1608 BIO/fp routines also added.
1611 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
1612 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
1614 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
1615 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
1616 demos/state_machine.
1619 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
1620 generation and verification.
1623 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
1624 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
1625 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
1626 encode and decode it manually.
1629 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
1631 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
1633 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
1634 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
1635 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
1636 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
1638 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
1639 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
1640 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
1641 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
1642 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
1645 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
1648 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
1649 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
1650 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
1652 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
1653 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
1654 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
1655 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
1656 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
1657 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
1658 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
1659 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
1661 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
1662 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
1664 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
1666 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
1667 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
1668 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
1672 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
1673 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
1674 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
1675 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
1679 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
1681 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
1684 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
1685 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
1686 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
1687 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
1688 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
1689 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
1690 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
1691 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
1692 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
1693 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
1694 short or long names are found.
1697 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
1698 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
1700 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
1701 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
1702 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
1703 version rollback attacks was not effective.
1705 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
1706 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
1707 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
1708 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
1711 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
1712 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
1713 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
1716 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
1717 these print out strings and name structures based on various
1718 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
1719 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
1720 to allow the various flags to be set.
1723 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
1724 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
1725 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
1726 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
1727 dates to be checked.
1730 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
1731 negative public key encodings) on by default,
1732 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
1735 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
1736 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
1737 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
1740 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
1741 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
1744 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
1745 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
1746 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
1747 are always statically linked for now, but there are
1748 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
1749 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
1752 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
1753 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
1757 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
1761 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
1762 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
1763 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
1764 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
1765 form signing output easier to verify.
1768 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
1771 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
1772 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
1773 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
1774 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
1775 are needed because all other string types have virtually
1776 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
1777 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
1778 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
1779 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
1780 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
1783 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
1785 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
1786 the syntax given in objects.README.
1787 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
1789 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
1792 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
1793 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
1794 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
1795 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
1796 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
1797 consistent name changes.
1800 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
1803 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
1804 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
1805 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
1806 environment variable, or the default random state file.
1809 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
1810 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
1811 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
1815 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
1816 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
1817 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
1818 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
1821 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
1822 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
1823 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
1824 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
1825 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
1826 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
1827 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
1828 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
1829 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
1830 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
1831 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
1834 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
1835 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
1836 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
1837 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
1838 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
1839 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
1840 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
1841 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
1842 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
1843 algorithm to openssl-dev.
1846 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
1847 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
1848 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
1849 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
1851 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
1852 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
1853 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
1854 omit any duplicate addresses.
1857 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
1858 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
1861 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
1862 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
1863 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
1864 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
1865 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
1868 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
1870 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
1871 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
1872 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
1873 Free => OPENSSL_free
1876 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
1877 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
1880 *) CygWin32 support.
1881 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
1883 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
1884 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
1885 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
1886 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
1887 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
1891 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
1892 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
1893 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
1894 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
1895 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
1896 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
1897 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
1900 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
1901 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
1902 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
1903 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
1904 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
1905 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
1906 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
1907 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
1908 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
1909 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
1910 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
1913 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
1914 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
1915 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
1916 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
1917 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
1919 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
1920 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
1921 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
1922 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
1923 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
1925 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
1928 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
1929 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
1930 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
1931 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
1933 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
1935 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
1938 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
1939 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
1940 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
1943 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
1944 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
1945 any installed hardware versions can.
1948 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
1949 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
1950 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
1954 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
1955 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
1956 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
1957 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
1958 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
1960 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
1961 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
1964 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
1965 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
1968 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
1969 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
1970 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
1974 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
1977 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
1978 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
1979 but no ssl client purpose.
1980 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
1982 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
1983 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
1984 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
1985 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
1986 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
1987 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
1988 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
1989 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
1990 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
1991 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
1992 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
1995 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
1996 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
1997 be obtained from the error queue.
2000 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2001 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2002 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2003 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2006 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2009 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2010 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2011 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2012 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2013 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
2016 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
2017 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
2018 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
2019 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
2020 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
2023 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
2024 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
2025 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
2027 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
2029 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
2030 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
2031 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
2032 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
2033 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
2034 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
2035 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
2036 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
2037 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
2038 or "the configuration storage API"...
2040 The new configuration file reading functions are:
2042 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
2043 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
2045 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
2047 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
2049 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
2050 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
2051 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
2052 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
2053 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
2054 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
2055 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
2057 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
2058 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
2061 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
2062 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
2063 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
2064 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
2067 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
2068 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
2069 them in a portable way.
2070 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
2072 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
2074 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
2076 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
2077 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
2079 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
2080 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
2081 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
2084 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
2085 was larger than the MD block size.
2086 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
2088 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
2089 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
2090 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
2091 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
2095 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
2096 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
2097 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
2099 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
2101 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
2103 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
2104 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
2105 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
2106 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
2107 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
2108 Additional arguments are always ignored.
2110 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
2111 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
2113 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
2114 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
2117 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
2120 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
2121 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
2123 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
2124 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
2125 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
2126 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
2129 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
2130 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
2131 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
2132 does not suppress any output.
2135 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
2136 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
2137 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
2138 with all the associated security issues.
2140 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
2141 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
2142 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
2143 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
2144 use the value in the default purpose.
2147 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
2148 and fix a memory leak.
2151 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
2152 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
2153 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
2154 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
2157 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
2158 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
2159 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
2160 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
2163 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
2164 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
2165 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
2168 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
2169 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
2172 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
2173 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
2177 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
2178 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
2181 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
2182 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
2183 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
2186 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
2187 number generation fails.
2190 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
2193 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
2194 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
2196 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
2199 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
2200 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
2202 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
2203 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
2205 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
2207 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
2208 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
2211 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
2212 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
2214 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
2215 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
2218 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
2219 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
2220 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
2221 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
2222 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
2223 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
2225 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
2226 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
2227 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
2231 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
2232 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
2233 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
2234 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
2235 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
2236 counter, some don't.)
2237 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
2238 counters or duplicate objects.
2241 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
2242 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
2245 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
2246 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
2247 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
2249 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
2250 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
2251 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
2255 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
2256 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
2259 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
2260 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
2261 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
2265 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
2266 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
2267 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
2270 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
2271 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
2272 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
2273 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
2274 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
2275 should work without changes.
2278 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
2279 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
2280 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
2281 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
2282 must be defined. E.g.,
2283 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
2284 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
2285 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
2286 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
2288 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
2292 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
2293 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
2294 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
2297 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
2298 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
2299 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
2300 request header lines. Some software needs this.
2303 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
2304 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
2305 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
2306 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
2307 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
2308 is prompted for as usual.
2311 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
2312 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
2313 autodetect the card and use it if present.
2314 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
2316 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
2317 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
2318 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
2319 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
2322 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
2325 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
2329 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
2332 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
2335 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
2339 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
2342 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
2345 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
2346 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
2349 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
2350 options to produce them.
2353 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
2354 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
2357 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
2361 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
2362 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
2363 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
2364 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
2365 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
2366 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
2367 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
2370 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
2373 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
2374 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
2375 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
2378 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
2379 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
2381 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
2382 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
2385 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
2386 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
2387 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
2391 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
2392 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
2394 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
2395 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
2396 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
2397 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
2398 generation becomes much faster.
2400 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
2401 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
2402 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
2403 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
2404 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
2405 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
2406 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
2407 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
2408 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
2409 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
2412 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
2413 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
2414 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
2415 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
2416 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
2417 trial division stage.
2420 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
2424 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
2427 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
2430 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
2431 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
2432 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
2436 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
2437 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
2438 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
2441 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
2442 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
2443 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
2444 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2446 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
2447 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
2450 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
2453 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
2454 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
2455 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
2456 Rabin-Miller iterations.
2459 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
2460 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
2461 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
2464 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
2465 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
2466 (instead of parameters) in future.
2469 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
2470 when a new cipher list is set.
2473 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
2474 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
2477 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
2478 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
2479 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
2481 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
2482 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
2483 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
2484 an error is flagged.
2486 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
2487 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
2488 the readability was also increased :-)
2489 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2491 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
2492 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
2493 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
2494 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
2498 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
2499 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
2502 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
2503 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
2504 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
2505 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
2508 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
2509 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
2510 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
2511 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
2512 because they handle more complex structures.)
2515 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
2516 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
2517 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
2518 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2520 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
2521 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
2522 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
2523 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
2524 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
2525 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
2526 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
2529 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
2530 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
2531 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
2532 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
2533 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
2536 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
2539 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
2540 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
2541 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
2542 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
2543 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
2546 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
2550 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
2551 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
2552 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
2553 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
2556 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
2559 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
2560 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
2561 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
2562 international characters are used.
2564 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
2565 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
2566 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
2570 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
2571 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
2572 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
2575 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
2576 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
2577 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
2578 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
2579 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
2580 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
2582 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
2583 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
2584 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
2585 be handled by the string table functions.
2587 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
2588 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
2589 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
2590 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
2591 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
2595 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
2596 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
2597 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
2598 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
2599 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
2601 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
2602 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
2603 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
2604 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
2607 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
2608 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
2609 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
2610 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
2611 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
2615 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
2616 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
2617 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
2618 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
2619 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
2620 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
2621 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
2622 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
2624 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
2625 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
2626 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
2629 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
2630 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
2631 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
2632 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
2633 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
2634 support to pkcs8 application.
2637 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
2638 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
2639 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
2640 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
2641 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
2642 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
2645 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
2646 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
2647 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
2648 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
2649 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
2653 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
2654 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
2655 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
2656 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
2660 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
2661 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
2662 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
2663 and any application specific purposes.
2665 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
2666 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
2667 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
2668 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
2669 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
2670 if the certificate is self signed.
2673 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
2674 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
2677 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
2678 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
2679 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
2680 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
2683 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
2684 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
2685 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
2686 Update documentation.
2689 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
2690 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
2691 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
2692 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
2693 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
2696 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
2698 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
2700 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
2701 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
2702 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
2703 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
2704 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
2705 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
2706 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
2707 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
2708 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
2709 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
2711 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
2713 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2714 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2715 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
2716 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
2717 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
2719 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
2720 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
2721 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
2722 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
2723 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
2724 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
2725 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
2726 request additional information:
2727 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
2728 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
2730 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
2731 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
2732 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
2735 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
2736 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
2739 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
2742 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
2743 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2745 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
2746 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
2747 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
2751 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
2752 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
2753 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
2755 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
2756 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
2757 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
2758 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
2759 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
2760 included in OpenSSL.
2763 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
2764 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
2765 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
2766 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
2767 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
2768 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
2771 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
2775 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
2776 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
2777 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
2778 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
2779 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
2783 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
2787 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
2788 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
2789 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
2790 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
2791 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
2792 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
2793 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
2794 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
2795 be maintained manually.
2797 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
2798 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
2799 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
2800 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
2801 work because people forget to call this function]
2802 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
2803 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
2804 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
2807 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
2808 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
2809 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
2810 should be discouraged from doing it.
2813 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
2814 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
2815 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
2816 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
2817 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
2818 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
2821 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
2822 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
2823 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
2825 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
2826 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
2827 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
2829 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
2830 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
2831 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
2832 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
2833 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
2834 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
2836 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
2837 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
2838 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
2840 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
2841 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
2844 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
2845 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
2846 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
2847 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
2850 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
2853 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
2854 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
2855 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
2856 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
2857 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
2858 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
2859 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
2860 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
2861 keys so we should be OK.
2863 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
2864 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
2865 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
2866 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
2867 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
2868 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
2869 stay in the name of compatibility.
2871 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
2872 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
2873 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
2875 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
2876 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
2877 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
2878 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
2879 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
2880 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
2884 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
2885 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
2886 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
2887 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
2888 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
2889 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
2890 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
2891 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
2892 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
2893 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
2894 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
2895 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
2896 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
2899 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
2902 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
2903 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
2904 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
2905 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
2906 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
2907 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
2908 single self signed certificate. This means that:
2909 openssl verify ss.pem
2910 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
2911 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
2915 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
2916 (and add it to external session representation).
2917 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
2918 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
2919 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
2920 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
2921 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
2922 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
2924 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
2926 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
2927 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
2928 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
2929 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
2931 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
2932 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
2933 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
2936 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
2937 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
2938 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
2942 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
2943 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
2944 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
2946 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
2947 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
2948 certificate auxiliary information.
2951 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
2955 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
2956 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
2957 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
2958 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
2959 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
2960 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
2961 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
2964 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
2965 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
2968 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
2969 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
2970 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
2971 manpages and fix a few bugs.
2974 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
2977 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
2978 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
2981 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
2982 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
2983 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
2984 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
2985 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
2986 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
2987 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
2988 using the new 'x509' options.
2990 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
2991 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
2992 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
2993 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
2997 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
2998 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
2999 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
3000 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
3001 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
3004 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
3005 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
3006 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
3007 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
3008 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
3009 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
3010 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
3011 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
3012 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
3013 the key length and effective key length are equal.
3016 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
3017 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
3018 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
3019 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
3020 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
3021 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
3022 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
3025 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
3026 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
3027 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
3028 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
3029 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
3030 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
3031 openssl.cnf for more info.
3034 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
3035 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
3036 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
3037 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
3038 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
3039 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
3040 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
3041 md should be large enough anyway.
3044 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
3045 for handling the random seed file.
3047 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
3049 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
3052 x509 (when signing).
3053 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
3054 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
3055 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
3057 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
3058 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
3059 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
3060 that support '-rand'.
3063 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
3064 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
3067 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
3068 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
3071 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
3072 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
3073 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
3074 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
3078 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
3079 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
3080 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
3081 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
3084 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
3085 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
3086 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
3087 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
3088 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
3089 print out all the purposes.
3092 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
3096 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
3097 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
3098 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
3099 single function call.
3102 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
3103 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
3106 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
3107 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
3108 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
3111 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
3112 when producing the local key id.
3113 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3115 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
3116 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
3117 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
3121 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
3122 a public key to be input or output. For example:
3123 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
3124 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
3127 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
3128 in the message. This was handled by allowing
3129 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
3130 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
3132 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
3133 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
3134 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
3135 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3137 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
3138 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
3139 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
3140 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
3141 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
3142 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
3143 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
3144 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
3145 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
3146 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
3147 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
3148 trivial: move one line.
3149 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
3151 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
3152 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
3153 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
3154 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
3155 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
3156 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
3157 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
3158 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
3159 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
3160 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
3161 with an event loop for example.
3164 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
3165 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
3166 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
3167 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
3168 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
3169 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
3170 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
3171 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
3172 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
3175 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
3176 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
3177 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
3178 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
3179 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
3180 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
3183 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
3184 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
3185 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
3186 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
3188 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
3189 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
3190 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
3191 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
3195 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
3196 (still largely untested)
3199 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
3200 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
3203 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
3204 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
3207 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
3208 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
3209 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
3212 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
3213 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
3214 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
3215 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
3216 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
3219 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
3222 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
3223 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
3224 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
3225 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
3226 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
3230 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
3231 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
3234 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
3237 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
3238 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
3239 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
3240 are otherwise ignored at present.
3243 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
3244 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
3245 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
3246 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
3247 copied until the next read.
3250 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
3251 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
3252 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
3255 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
3256 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
3257 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
3258 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
3259 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
3260 associated functions.
3263 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
3264 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
3265 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
3266 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
3267 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
3268 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
3269 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
3270 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
3271 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
3275 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
3276 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
3277 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
3278 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
3281 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
3282 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
3283 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
3284 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
3285 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
3289 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
3290 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
3294 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
3295 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
3296 extensions to be obtained and added.
3299 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
3300 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
3303 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
3305 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3306 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3308 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
3309 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
3311 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
3315 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
3316 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
3317 DH parameters contain its length).
3319 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
3320 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
3321 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
3322 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
3323 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
3324 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
3325 utter importance to use
3326 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3328 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3329 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
3330 attacks may become possible!
3333 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
3336 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
3337 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
3340 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
3341 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
3342 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
3346 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
3347 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
3348 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
3349 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
3350 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
3351 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
3352 private key operations.
3355 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
3358 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
3359 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
3361 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
3362 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
3363 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
3364 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
3365 the password callback is called.
3366 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
3368 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
3370 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
3371 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
3372 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
3373 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
3374 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
3375 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
3378 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
3379 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
3380 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
3381 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
3382 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
3383 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
3386 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
3389 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
3390 delete an unused file.
3393 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
3394 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
3395 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
3396 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
3399 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
3400 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
3401 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
3405 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
3406 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
3407 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3409 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
3410 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
3411 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
3412 comparison" warnings.
3413 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
3416 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
3417 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
3418 derived keys are printed to stderr.
3421 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
3422 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
3424 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
3425 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
3427 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
3428 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
3429 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
3431 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
3432 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
3433 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
3434 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
3435 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
3437 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
3439 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
3440 The interface is as follows:
3441 Applications can use
3442 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
3443 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
3444 "off" is now the default.
3445 The library internally uses
3446 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
3447 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
3448 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
3450 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
3451 even the default) are now avoided.
3453 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
3454 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
3455 than just having a counter.
3457 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
3459 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
3463 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
3464 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
3465 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
3466 Initial "mode" flags are:
3468 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
3469 a single record has been written.
3470 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
3471 retries use the same buffer location.
3472 (But all of the contents must be
3476 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
3479 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
3480 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
3482 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
3483 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
3484 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
3487 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
3488 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
3490 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
3492 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
3493 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
3494 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
3495 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
3497 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
3498 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
3500 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
3501 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
3502 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
3503 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
3504 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
3505 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
3508 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
3509 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
3510 necessary function names.
3513 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
3514 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
3515 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
3516 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
3519 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
3520 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
3521 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
3524 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
3525 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
3526 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
3527 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
3529 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
3533 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
3534 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
3535 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
3538 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
3539 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
3543 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
3544 for the encoded length.
3545 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
3547 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
3550 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
3551 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
3552 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
3553 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
3556 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
3557 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
3558 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3560 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
3561 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
3562 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
3566 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
3567 to use the new extension code.
3570 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
3571 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
3572 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
3576 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
3577 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
3578 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
3582 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
3585 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
3586 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
3587 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
3590 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
3591 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
3592 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
3593 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
3596 *) DES library cleanups.
3599 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
3600 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
3601 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
3602 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
3603 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
3607 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
3608 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
3611 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
3612 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
3613 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
3614 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
3615 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
3616 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
3617 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
3618 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
3619 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
3622 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
3623 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
3624 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
3625 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
3626 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
3627 value doesn't matter.
3630 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
3634 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
3635 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
3636 "linux-sparc" configuration.
3637 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
3639 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
3642 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
3643 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
3644 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3646 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
3647 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3649 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
3652 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
3655 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
3658 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
3662 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
3664 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
3666 *) Updated some demos.
3667 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
3669 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
3672 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
3675 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
3678 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
3679 instead of using a fixed path.
3682 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
3685 *) Improvements for VMS support.
3689 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
3691 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
3692 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
3693 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3695 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
3696 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
3697 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
3698 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
3699 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
3700 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
3701 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
3702 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
3703 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
3704 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
3707 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
3708 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
3711 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
3712 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
3713 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
3714 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
3715 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
3717 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
3720 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
3721 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
3722 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
3725 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
3728 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
3729 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
3730 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
3731 key elements as negative integers.
3734 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
3735 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3738 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
3740 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
3741 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
3742 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
3745 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
3746 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
3747 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
3748 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
3749 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
3752 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
3755 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
3756 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
3757 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
3758 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3760 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
3761 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
3762 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
3764 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
3765 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
3766 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
3767 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
3768 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
3769 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
3770 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
3771 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
3772 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
3774 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
3775 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
3776 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
3777 does not influence s as it used to.
3779 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
3780 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
3781 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
3782 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
3783 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
3784 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
3787 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
3788 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
3789 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
3793 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
3794 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
3795 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
3799 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
3800 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
3801 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
3805 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
3806 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
3809 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
3810 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3815 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
3816 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3818 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
3819 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3821 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
3824 *) Update HPUX configuration.
3827 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
3828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3830 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
3831 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
3832 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
3836 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
3837 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
3838 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
3839 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
3840 now it really counts the depth.
3843 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
3844 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
3845 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
3846 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
3847 didn't match the private key).
3849 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
3850 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
3851 connection using the SSL_CTX).
3854 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
3857 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
3861 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
3862 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
3863 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
3866 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
3869 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
3870 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
3871 such as /usr/local/bin.
3874 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
3875 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
3877 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
3880 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
3881 extension adding in x509 utility.
3884 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
3887 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
3891 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
3894 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
3895 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
3896 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
3897 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
3898 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
3899 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
3900 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
3901 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
3902 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
3903 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
3906 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
3909 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
3910 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
3913 *) Fix some race conditions.
3916 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
3917 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
3920 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
3923 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
3924 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
3925 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
3926 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
3928 *) Fix lots of warnings.
3929 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3931 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
3932 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
3933 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3935 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
3936 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3938 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
3941 *) Fix typos in error codes.
3942 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
3944 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
3947 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
3948 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3950 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
3951 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
3954 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
3955 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
3958 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
3959 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
3962 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
3963 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
3966 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
3967 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
3970 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
3971 support typesafe stack.
3974 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
3975 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
3977 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
3978 old X509V3 handling code.
3981 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
3984 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
3987 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
3990 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
3991 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
3993 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
3994 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
3995 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
3996 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
3997 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
4000 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
4001 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
4002 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
4003 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
4004 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4006 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
4007 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
4008 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
4009 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4011 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
4012 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
4013 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
4014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4016 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
4017 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
4018 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
4019 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
4020 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
4021 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
4024 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
4025 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
4028 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
4029 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
4032 *) Tweaks to Configure
4033 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4035 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
4039 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
4042 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
4043 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
4046 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
4047 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
4048 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
4051 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
4054 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
4055 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
4058 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
4059 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
4060 to library startup routines.
4063 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
4064 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
4065 codes along the way.
4068 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
4069 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
4070 objects to objects.h
4073 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
4074 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
4077 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
4078 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
4080 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
4081 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
4082 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
4084 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
4085 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4086 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4088 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
4089 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
4090 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
4093 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
4095 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
4096 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
4099 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
4100 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
4101 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
4102 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
4103 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
4105 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
4106 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
4107 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
4109 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4111 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
4113 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
4115 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
4116 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4118 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
4119 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
4120 if someone would make that last step automatic.
4121 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
4123 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
4126 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
4127 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
4128 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
4129 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
4132 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
4133 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
4134 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
4137 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
4138 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
4139 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
4140 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
4141 installed as `perl').
4142 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4144 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
4145 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4147 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
4148 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
4149 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
4150 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
4151 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
4154 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
4157 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
4158 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
4159 is horrible: I feel ill....
4162 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
4163 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
4164 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
4165 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
4168 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
4169 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4171 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
4172 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
4173 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
4174 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4176 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
4177 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
4178 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
4179 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
4180 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
4181 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
4183 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4185 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
4186 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4188 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
4189 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
4191 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
4194 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
4195 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
4199 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
4200 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
4201 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
4202 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
4203 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
4204 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
4205 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
4206 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
4207 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
4208 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
4209 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4211 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
4214 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
4215 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
4216 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
4217 for linking it into DSOs.
4218 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4220 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
4224 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
4225 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
4226 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
4227 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
4228 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
4229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4231 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
4232 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
4233 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
4234 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
4235 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
4236 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
4237 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4239 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
4240 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
4241 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
4245 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
4246 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
4247 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
4248 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
4251 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
4252 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
4253 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
4254 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
4255 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
4259 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
4260 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
4261 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
4262 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
4263 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4265 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
4266 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
4267 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4269 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
4270 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4272 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
4273 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
4274 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
4275 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
4276 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
4279 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
4280 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
4281 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
4282 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
4283 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
4284 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
4285 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
4288 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
4290 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
4291 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
4294 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
4295 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
4297 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
4298 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
4301 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
4302 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
4303 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
4304 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
4305 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
4307 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
4308 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
4309 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
4310 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
4311 no way to reconfigure them.
4312 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
4313 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
4314 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
4315 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
4316 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
4317 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4319 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
4320 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
4321 recognized by the users.
4322 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4324 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
4325 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
4326 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
4327 already masked variable.
4328 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4330 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
4331 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4333 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
4334 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
4335 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
4336 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4338 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
4339 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
4340 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4342 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
4343 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
4344 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
4345 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
4346 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
4347 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
4348 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
4349 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
4351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4353 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
4354 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
4355 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4357 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
4358 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
4362 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
4363 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4365 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
4366 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
4367 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
4368 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
4371 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
4374 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
4375 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4377 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
4380 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
4381 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
4384 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
4385 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
4388 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
4389 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
4390 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
4391 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
4392 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
4393 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
4394 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
4397 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
4398 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4400 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
4401 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
4402 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
4403 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
4404 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4406 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
4407 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
4408 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
4411 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
4412 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
4416 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
4417 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
4418 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4420 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
4421 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
4422 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
4426 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
4427 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
4428 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
4429 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
4432 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
4433 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
4434 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
4435 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
4438 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
4439 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
4440 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
4441 so it wasn't spotted.
4442 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
4444 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
4445 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
4446 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
4447 vectors if you have them.
4450 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
4451 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
4454 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
4455 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
4456 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
4457 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
4459 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
4460 it will update them.
4463 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
4464 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
4465 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
4466 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
4467 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
4468 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
4469 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
4470 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4472 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
4473 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
4474 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
4475 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
4476 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
4477 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
4478 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
4479 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
4480 the crypto/md/ stuff).
4481 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4483 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
4484 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
4485 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
4486 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
4487 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
4490 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
4494 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
4495 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4497 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
4498 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4500 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
4501 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
4504 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
4505 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
4507 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
4508 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
4510 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
4513 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
4517 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
4518 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
4519 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
4520 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4522 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4525 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4528 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
4531 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
4532 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
4535 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
4536 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
4540 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
4541 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
4544 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
4545 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
4546 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
4549 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
4550 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
4551 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
4552 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
4553 properly to be processed.
4556 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
4557 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
4558 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
4561 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
4562 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
4564 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
4565 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
4566 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
4567 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
4568 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
4569 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
4570 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
4571 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
4572 or delete all the .err files.
4575 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
4576 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
4577 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
4578 to regenerate it if needed.
4579 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
4580 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
4582 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
4583 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4585 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
4586 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
4587 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
4588 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
4589 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
4592 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
4593 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4595 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
4596 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4598 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
4599 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
4600 error, but didn't set one).
4601 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4603 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
4606 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
4607 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
4610 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
4611 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
4613 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
4614 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
4615 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
4616 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
4617 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
4618 OID is not part of the table.
4621 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
4622 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
4625 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
4628 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
4629 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
4633 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
4634 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
4636 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
4638 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4640 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
4641 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4643 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
4644 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4646 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
4647 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4649 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
4650 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
4653 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
4654 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
4657 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
4658 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4660 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
4661 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4663 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
4664 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4666 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
4667 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4669 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
4670 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
4671 unused in the certificate verification process.
4672 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4674 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
4675 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
4678 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
4679 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
4680 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
4682 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
4683 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
4684 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
4685 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
4686 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
4688 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
4689 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
4692 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
4695 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
4698 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
4699 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
4701 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
4704 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
4707 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
4710 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
4711 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
4712 other error libraries.
4715 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
4718 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
4719 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
4723 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
4724 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
4725 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
4726 the new set of documenation files.
4727 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4729 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
4730 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
4731 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
4732 number of arguments.
4733 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
4735 *) Fix test data to work with the above.

4770 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
4771 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
4772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4774 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
4775 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
4776 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
4778 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
4779 when "ssleay" is still not found.
4780 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4782 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,

4797 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
4798 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
4799 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
4800 o removed obsolete TODO file
4801 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
4802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]

4810 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4812 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
4815 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
4816 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
4817 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
4819 [The OpenSSL Project]
4822 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
4824 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
4827 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.

4831 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
4834 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
4835 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
4839 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
4841 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
4843 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
4846 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.

4855 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
4858 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
4861 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
4864 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
4867 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
4870 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
4873 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
4876 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
4879 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
4882 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
4885 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
4888 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
4891 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
4894 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
4895 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
4896 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4899 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
4900 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
4903 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
4906 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
4909 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
4910 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
