5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
7 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
8 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
10 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
11 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
12 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
13 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
15 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
17 Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
18 (these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
20 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
21 library. Most notably,
22 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
23 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
24 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
25 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
26 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
27 extracted before the specific public key.
28 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
30 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
31 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
34 EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
35 Also add a 'nid' field to EC_GROUP objects, which can be accessed
39 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
41 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
43 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
44 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form (Michael Bell
45 <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>).
48 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
49 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
50 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
51 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
52 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
53 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
56 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
57 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
58 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
59 declaration has been changed from
62 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
63 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
64 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
66 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
68 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
69 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
70 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
72 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
73 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
75 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
76 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
77 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
78 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
79 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
80 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
81 always load it have also been added.
84 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
85 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
86 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
88 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
90 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
91 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
92 because it couldn't be used for anything.
94 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
95 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
96 command line option can be used to specify an
100 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
101 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
104 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
105 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
106 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
109 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
110 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
111 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
112 to work with the new engine framework.
113 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
115 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
116 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
117 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
118 to work with the new engine framework.
121 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
122 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
123 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
125 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
126 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
128 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
129 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
130 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
131 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
133 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
135 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
136 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
138 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
139 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
141 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
142 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
143 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
148 ERR_peek_last_error_line
149 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
153 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
154 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
155 still in the error queue.
156 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
158 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
160 default_algorithms = ALL
161 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
164 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
167 *) New experimental application configuration code.
170 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
171 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
172 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
173 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
175 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
176 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
178 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
179 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
181 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
182 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
185 *) New functions/macros
187 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
188 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
189 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
190 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
192 to request calling a callback function
194 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
195 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
197 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
198 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
199 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
200 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
201 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
202 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
203 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
204 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
205 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
206 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
208 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
209 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
212 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
213 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
214 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
215 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
216 the configuration scripts.
218 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
219 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
220 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
222 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
223 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
225 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
226 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
227 when reusing an existing buffer.
230 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
231 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
234 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
235 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
238 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
239 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
240 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
242 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
244 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
245 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
246 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
247 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
248 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
249 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
252 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
253 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
254 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
255 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
257 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
258 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
259 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
260 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
262 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
263 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
266 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
267 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
268 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
269 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
270 default), and then completely removed.
273 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
274 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
275 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
276 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
277 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
278 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
279 particular extension is supported.
282 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
283 to retain compatibility with existing code.
286 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
287 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
288 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
289 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
290 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
291 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
292 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
293 requires the destination to be valid.
295 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
296 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
299 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
300 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
301 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
304 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
305 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
307 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
308 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
309 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
310 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
311 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
312 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
313 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
314 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
315 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
316 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
317 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
318 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
319 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
320 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
321 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
322 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
323 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
324 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
325 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
329 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
332 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
333 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
334 become part of libeay.num as well.
337 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
338 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
339 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
340 false once a handshake has been completed.
341 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
342 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
343 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
344 client has followed the request.)
347 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
348 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
349 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
350 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
353 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
356 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
357 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
358 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
361 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
362 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
365 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
366 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
367 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
368 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
371 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
372 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
373 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
374 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
375 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
376 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
379 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
380 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
381 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
382 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
383 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
384 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
385 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
386 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
389 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
390 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
393 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
396 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
397 md_data void pointer.
400 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
401 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
402 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
403 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
404 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
405 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
408 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
409 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
410 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
411 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
412 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
413 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
414 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
415 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
416 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
417 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
418 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
419 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
420 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
421 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
422 rather than letting it slide.
424 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
425 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
426 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
429 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
430 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
431 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
432 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
433 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
434 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
435 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
436 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
437 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
440 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
441 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
442 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
443 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
444 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
446 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
449 *) Add EVP test program.
452 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
455 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
456 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
457 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
458 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
459 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
462 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
463 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
464 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
465 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
466 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
467 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
468 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
470 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
471 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
472 the number of header dependencies.
477 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
478 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
479 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
480 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
481 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
485 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
486 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
487 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
488 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
493 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
494 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
496 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
499 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
500 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
501 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
502 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
503 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
504 functions prevents this.
507 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
510 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
514 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
515 revocation information is handled using the text based index
516 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
517 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
518 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
521 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
524 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
525 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
526 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
527 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
529 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
530 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
532 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
533 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
534 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
537 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
538 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
539 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
540 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
543 *) Speed up EVP routines.

561 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
562 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
564 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
565 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
566 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
567 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
568 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
569 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
572 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
573 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
576 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
577 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
578 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
579 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
581 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
582 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
583 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
584 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
585 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
586 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
590 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
591 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
592 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
593 and interrupts/cancellations.
596 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
597 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
600 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
601 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
602 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
604 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
605 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
609 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
610 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
611 than this minimum value is recommended.
614 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
615 that are easily reachable.
618 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
619 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
621 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
623 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
624 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
625 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
626 needed for static libraries under Win32.
629 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
630 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
631 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
634 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
635 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
636 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
637 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
638 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
639 internally such as S/MIME.
641 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
642 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
643 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
645 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
649 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
650 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
651 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
652 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
654 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
656 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
658 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
659 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
660 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
664 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
665 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
666 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
667 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
668 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
669 a window system and the like.
672 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
673 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
676 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
677 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
678 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
679 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
680 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
681 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
682 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
683 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
684 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
688 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
689 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
693 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
694 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
695 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
696 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
697 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
698 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
699 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
700 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
703 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
704 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
705 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
706 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
707 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
708 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
709 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
710 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
711 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
712 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
713 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
714 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
715 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
716 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
717 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
718 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
719 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
722 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
723 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
724 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
725 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
726 internal engine_int.h header.
729 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
730 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
731 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
732 modify their own ones).
735 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
736 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
737 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
738 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
739 later on via ctrl() commands.
740 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
741 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
742 structural references.
743 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
744 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
745 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
746 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
747 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
748 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
749 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
750 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
751 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
752 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
753 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
754 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
757 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
758 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
759 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
760 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
761 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
762 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
763 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
764 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
767 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
768 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
771 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
772 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
775 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
776 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
777 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
778 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
779 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
780 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
781 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
784 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
785 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
786 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
787 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
788 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
790 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
791 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
795 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
797 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
798 operations and provides various method functions that can also
799 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
801 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
802 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
804 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
805 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
806 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
808 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
811 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
812 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
814 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
816 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
817 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
818 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
821 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
822 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
825 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
826 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
827 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
828 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
829 is 40 of more characters long.
832 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
833 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
837 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
838 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
841 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
842 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
846 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
848 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
849 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
852 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
854 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
855 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
856 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
858 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
859 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
861 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
864 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
868 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
869 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
870 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
871 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
873 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
875 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
876 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
878 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
879 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
880 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
881 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
882 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
883 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
885 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
886 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
888 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
889 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
891 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
892 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
894 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
895 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
896 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
897 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
899 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
900 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
902 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
903 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
905 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
906 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
907 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
908 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
909 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
912 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
913 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
914 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
915 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
918 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
919 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
920 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
924 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
925 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
926 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
927 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
928 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
929 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
930 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
931 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
935 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
936 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
939 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
940 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
941 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
942 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
945 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
946 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
947 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
948 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
949 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
950 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
951 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
952 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
953 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
954 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
957 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
958 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
959 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
960 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
961 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
962 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
963 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
964 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
966 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
967 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
968 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
969 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
972 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
973 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
974 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
975 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
977 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
978 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
979 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
980 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
981 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
985 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
986 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
987 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
988 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
992 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
993 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
994 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
997 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
998 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
999 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1000 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1001 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1004 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1007 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1008 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1009 option to ocsp utility.
1012 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1013 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1014 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1015 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1016 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1017 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1018 the request is nonce-less.
1021 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1022 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1023 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1026 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1027 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1028 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1031 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1032 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1033 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1034 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1035 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1038 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1039 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1043 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1044 additional certificates supplied.
1047 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1048 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1052 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1053 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1054 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
1055 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
1056 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1058 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1059 request to response.
1062 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1063 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1064 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1065 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1066 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1067 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1068 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1069 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1070 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1071 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1072 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1075 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1076 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1077 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1078 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1081 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1082 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1084 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1085 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1086 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1089 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1090 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1091 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1092 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1093 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1095 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1096 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1097 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1100 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1101 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1102 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1103 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1104 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1105 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1106 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1107 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1109 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1110 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1111 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1112 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1113 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1114 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1117 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1118 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1119 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1120 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1121 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1122 printout format cleaned up.
1125 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1126 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1127 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1128 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1129 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1130 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1131 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1132 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1135 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1136 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1137 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1138 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1139 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1140 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1141 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1142 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1145 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1146 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1147 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1148 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1150 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1152 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1153 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1154 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1155 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1158 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1159 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1160 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1161 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1163 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1165 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1166 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1167 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1168 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1170 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1171 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1173 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1174 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1175 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1178 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1179 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1180 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1183 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1184 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1185 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1186 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1187 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1188 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1189 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1190 functions are provided:
1192 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1193 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1194 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1195 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1197 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1198 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1199 extended allocation function is enabled.
1200 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1201 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1202 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1204 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1205 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1206 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1207 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1208 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1211 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1212 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1213 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1215 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1216 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1217 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1220 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1221 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1222 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1223 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1224 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1225 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1226 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1227 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1228 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1231 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1232 provide utility functions which an application needing
1233 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1234 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1235 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1237 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1238 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1239 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1240 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1241 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1242 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1243 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1244 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1245 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1247 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1248 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1249 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1250 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1253 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1254 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1255 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1256 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1257 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1258 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1259 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1260 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1261 will be added elsewhere.
1264 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1265 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1266 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1267 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1270 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1271 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1272 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1273 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1274 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1275 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1276 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1277 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1278 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1279 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1280 to produce the required SET OF.
1283 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1284 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1285 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1288 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1289 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1290 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1291 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1292 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1293 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1296 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1297 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1298 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1301 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1302 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1303 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1306 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1307 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1308 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1309 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1310 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1313 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1314 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1317 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1318 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1319 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1320 certifcates and CRLs.
1323 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1324 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1325 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1328 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1329 entries for variables.
1332 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1333 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1334 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1335 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1338 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1339 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1340 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1341 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1342 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1343 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1346 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1347 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1349 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1350 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1351 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1354 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1358 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1359 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1360 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1361 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1362 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1363 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1366 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1369 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1370 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1371 for now but they will eventually go away.
1374 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1375 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1376 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1377 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1378 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1379 has also been converted to the new form.
1382 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1383 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1384 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1385 for negative moduli.
1388 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1389 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1392 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1396 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1397 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1398 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1399 type-specific callbacks.
1402 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1404 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1405 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1407 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1408 in sections depending on the subject.
1411 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1415 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1416 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1417 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1418 be handled deterministically).
1419 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1421 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1422 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1423 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1426 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1429 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1430 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1431 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1432 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1433 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1436 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1437 sign of the number in question.
1439 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1441 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1442 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1443 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1444 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1445 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1448 *) New function BN_swap.
1451 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1452 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1453 results on negative inputs.
1456 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1457 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1458 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1461 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1462 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1463 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1464 and add new functions:
1473 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1477 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1479 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1480 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1482 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1483 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1484 be reduced modulo m.
1485 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1487 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1488 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1489 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1490 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1491 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1492 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1496 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1497 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1498 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1499 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1500 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1502 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1503 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1504 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1508 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1511 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1512 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1515 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1516 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1517 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1518 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1522 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1525 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1528 *) Add the following functions:
1530 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1532 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1534 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1536 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1537 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1538 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1539 libraries unless it's really needed.
1541 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1542 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1543 declarations (they differed!).
1546 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1549 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1552 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1555 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1556 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1559 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1560 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1561 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1563 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1564 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1567 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1570 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1573 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1576 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1577 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1578 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1580 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1581 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1582 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1583 different shared library filenames on each system.
1586 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1589 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1590 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1591 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1593 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1596 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1597 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1598 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1599 binary backward compatibility.
1600 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1601 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1602 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1606 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1607 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1608 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1609 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1613 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1616 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1617 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1618 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1619 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1623 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1626 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [XX xxx 2002]
1628 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
1629 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
1630 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
1631 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
1634 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
1637 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
1638 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
1639 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
1640 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
1641 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
1642 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1644 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
1645 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
1646 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
1647 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
1648 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
1651 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
1652 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
1653 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
1654 BN_generate_prime().)
1656 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
1657 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
1658 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
1662 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
1663 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
1666 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
1667 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
1668 when using non-blocking I/O.
1669 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
1671 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
1672 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
1674 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
1675 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
1678 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
1679 configuration for the versions before that.
1680 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1682 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
1683 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
1684 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
1685 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
1688 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
1689 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
1690 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
1693 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
1697 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
1698 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
1700 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
1701 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1702 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1704 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
1705 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
1706 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
1707 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
1708 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
1709 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
1710 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
1713 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
1714 using a local variable.
1715 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1717 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
1718 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
1719 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1721 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
1724 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
1725 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
1727 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
1728 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
1729 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
1731 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
1733 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
1734 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
1735 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
1736 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
1739 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
1743 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
1744 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
1745 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
1746 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
1747 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
1749 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
1750 returns early because it has nothing to do.
1751 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1753 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1754 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
1755 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1757 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1758 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
1759 (Use engine 'keyclient')
1760 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
1762 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
1763 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
1764 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
1766 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
1768 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1769 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
1771 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
1773 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1774 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
1775 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1776 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
1778 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1779 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
1780 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1781 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
1783 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
1784 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
1786 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
1787 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
1788 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
1791 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
1792 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
1793 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
1795 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
1797 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
1798 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
1799 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
1800 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
1801 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
1802 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
1803 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
1806 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
1807 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
1808 one of the SSL handshake functions.
1809 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
1811 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
1812 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
1813 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
1814 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
1815 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
1816 the client will at least see that alert.
1819 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
1823 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
1824 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
1825 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1827 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
1828 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
1829 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
1830 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
1833 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
1834 before just sending a HelloRequest.
1835 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
1837 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
1838 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
1839 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
1840 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
1841 may leak via logfiles.)
1843 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
1844 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
1845 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
1846 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
1850 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
1851 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1854 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
1855 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
1856 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
1857 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
1858 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
1861 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
1862 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
1864 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
1865 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
1866 followed by modular reduction.
1867 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
1869 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
1870 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
1873 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
1874 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
1875 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
1876 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
1879 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
1882 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
1883 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
1886 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
1887 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
1888 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
1889 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
1890 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
1891 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
1893 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
1895 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
1896 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
1897 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
1898 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
1899 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
1901 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
1904 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
1905 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
1906 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
1907 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
1908 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
1909 to allow the necessary settings.
1912 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
1913 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
1914 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
1915 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
1918 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
1919 dh->length and always used
1921 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
1923 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
1924 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
1925 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
1926 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
1927 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
1932 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
1934 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
1940 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
1941 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
1942 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
1943 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
1945 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
1946 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
1947 always reject numbers >= n.
1950 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
1951 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
1952 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
1953 variable) is not atomic.
1956 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
1957 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
1958 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
1959 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
1961 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1962 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1964 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1966 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
1968 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
1971 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
1973 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
1974 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
1975 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
1976 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
1977 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
1978 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
1979 to traverse all of 'state'.
1981 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
1982 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
1983 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
1985 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
1986 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
1988 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
1989 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
1990 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
1991 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
1992 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
1993 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
1994 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
1995 further strengthens the PRNG.
1998 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2001 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2002 an error message in this case.
2005 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2008 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2009 positive and less than q.
2012 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2013 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2015 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2017 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2018 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2022 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2024 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2025 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2026 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2027 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2028 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2029 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2030 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2033 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2034 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2035 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2036 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2038 Both problems are now fixed.
2041 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2042 (previously it was 1024).
2045 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2046 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2049 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2052 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2053 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2054 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2057 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2058 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2059 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2060 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2061 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2062 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2063 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2064 environment variables.
2066 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2067 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2068 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2071 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2072 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2073 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2074 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2075 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2076 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2079 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2083 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2085 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2086 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2088 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2089 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2090 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2091 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2095 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2096 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2097 amount of data available.
2098 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2099 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2101 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2102 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2103 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2104 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2107 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2108 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2112 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2113 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2114 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2115 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2118 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2121 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2124 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2125 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2127 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2129 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2130 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2131 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2132 (but broken) behaviour.
2135 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2137 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2139 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2140 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2143 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2147 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2148 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2150 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2153 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2154 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2155 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2157 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2158 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2159 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2162 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2163 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2166 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2167 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2169 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2171 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2173 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2174 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2175 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2176 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2179 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2182 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2183 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2184 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2186 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2189 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2191 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2192 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2193 but the code is actually correct.
2196 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2197 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2198 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2199 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2200 and leaves the highest bit random.
2201 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2203 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2204 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2205 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2206 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2207 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2208 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2209 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2212 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2215 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2216 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2219 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2220 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2221 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2222 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2226 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2227 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2228 and break the signature.
2230 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2232 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2236 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2237 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2238 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2239 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2240 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2243 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2244 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2246 *) ./config script fixes.
2247 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2249 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2252 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2253 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2254 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2255 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2256 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2258 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2259 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2262 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2263 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2266 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2267 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2268 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2269 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2271 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2272 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2274 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2275 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2276 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2277 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2278 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2280 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2283 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2286 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2289 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2292 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2293 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2296 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2297 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2298 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2299 result of the server certificate verification.)
2302 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2303 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2304 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2308 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2309 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2310 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2311 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2312 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2313 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2314 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2315 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2318 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2319 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2320 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2321 happening the other way round.
2324 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2325 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2328 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2329 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2330 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2331 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2334 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2335 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2337 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2339 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2340 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2341 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2344 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2346 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2348 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2352 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2354 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2355 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2356 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2357 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2358 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2360 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2361 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2365 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2368 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2370 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2371 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2372 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2373 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2374 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2375 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2376 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2377 by the Finished messages.
2380 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2381 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2383 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2384 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2385 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2386 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2387 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2391 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2392 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2393 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2394 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2395 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2396 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2397 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2398 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2399 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2403 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2404 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2405 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2406 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2408 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2409 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2410 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2411 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2412 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2415 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2416 been tested well enough.
2419 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2420 it can return incorrect results.
2421 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2422 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2425 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2426 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2427 include zero length content when signing messages.
2430 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2431 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2434 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2437 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2441 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2442 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2443 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2444 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2445 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2446 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2449 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2450 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2452 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2453 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2455 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2456 random number < q in the DSA library.
2459 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2460 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2461 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2462 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2463 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2464 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2465 just makes things more complicated.)
2468 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2472 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2473 work better on such systems.
2474 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2476 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2477 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2478 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2481 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2482 if there was more than one signature.
2483 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2485 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2486 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2487 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2488 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2491 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2492 rather than always using the current time.
2495 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2496 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2497 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2498 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2499 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2500 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2502 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2503 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2505 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2507 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2508 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2509 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2510 the same hash value.
2512 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2513 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2514 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2515 with X509_STORE internally.
2517 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2518 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2520 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2521 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2522 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2523 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2524 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2525 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2526 entirely (maybe later...).
2528 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2530 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2531 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2532 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2533 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2534 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2535 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2536 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2537 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2539 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2540 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2542 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2543 to customise the verify behaviour.
2546 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2547 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2550 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2551 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2552 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2553 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2554 request is improperly encoded.
2557 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2558 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2561 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2562 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2564 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2565 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2569 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2570 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2571 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2574 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2575 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2576 BIO/fp routines also added.
2579 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2580 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2582 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2583 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2584 demos/state_machine.
2587 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2588 generation and verification.
2591 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2592 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2593 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2594 encode and decode it manually.
2597 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2599 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2601 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2602 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2603 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2604 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2606 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2607 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2608 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2609 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2610 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2613 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2616 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2617 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2618 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2620 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2621 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2622 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2623 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2624 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2625 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2626 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2627 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2629 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2630 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2632 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2634 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2635 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2636 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2640 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2641 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2642 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2643 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2647 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2649 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2652 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2653 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2654 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2655 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2656 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2657 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2658 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2659 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2660 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2661 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2662 short or long names are found.
2665 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2666 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2668 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2669 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2670 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2671 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2673 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2674 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2675 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2676 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2679 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2680 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2681 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2684 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2685 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2686 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2687 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2688 to allow the various flags to be set.
2691 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2692 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2693 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2694 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2695 dates to be checked.
2698 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
2699 negative public key encodings) on by default,
2700 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
2703 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
2704 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
2705 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
2708 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2709 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2712 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2713 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2714 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2715 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2716 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2717 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2720 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2721 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2725 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2729 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2730 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2731 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2732 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2733 form signing output easier to verify.
2736 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2739 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2740 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2741 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2742 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2743 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2744 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2745 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2746 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2747 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2748 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2751 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2753 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2754 the syntax given in objects.README.
2755 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2757 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2760 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2761 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2762 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2763 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2764 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2765 consistent name changes.
2768 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2771 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2772 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2773 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2774 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2777 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2778 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2779 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2783 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2784 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2785 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2786 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2789 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2790 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2791 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2792 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2793 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2794 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2795 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2796 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2797 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2798 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2799 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2802 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2803 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2804 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2805 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2806 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2807 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2808 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2809 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2810 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2811 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2814 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2815 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2816 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2817 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2819 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2820 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
2821 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
2822 omit any duplicate addresses.
2825 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2826 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2829 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2830 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2831 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2832 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2833 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2836 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2838 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2839 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2840 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2841 Free => OPENSSL_free
2844 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2845 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2848 *) CygWin32 support.
2849 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2851 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2852 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2853 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2854 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2855 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2859 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2860 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2861 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2862 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2863 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2864 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2865 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2868 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2869 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2870 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2871 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2872 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2873 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2874 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2875 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2876 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2877 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2878 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2881 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2882 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2883 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2884 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2885 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2887 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2888 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2889 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2890 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2891 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2893 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2896 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2897 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2898 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2899 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2901 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2903 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2906 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2907 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2908 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2911 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2912 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2913 any installed hardware versions can.
2916 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2917 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2918 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2922 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2923 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2924 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2925 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2926 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2928 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2929 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2932 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2933 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2936 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2937 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2938 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2942 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2945 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2946 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2947 but no ssl client purpose.
2948 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2950 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2951 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2952 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2953 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2954 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2955 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2956 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2957 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2958 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2959 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2960 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2963 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2964 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2965 be obtained from the error queue.
2968 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2969 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2970 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2971 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2974 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2977 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2978 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2979 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2980 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2981 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
2984 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
2985 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
2986 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
2987 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
2988 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
2991 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
2992 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
2993 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
2995 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
2997 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
2998 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
2999 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3000 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3001 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3002 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3003 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3004 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3005 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3006 or "the configuration storage API"...
3008 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3010 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3011 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3013 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3015 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3017 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3018 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3019 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3020 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3021 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3022 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3023 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3025 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3026 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3029 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3030 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3031 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3032 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3035 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3036 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3037 them in a portable way.
3038 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3040 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3042 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3044 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3045 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3047 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3048 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3049 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3052 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3053 was larger than the MD block size.
3054 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3056 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3057 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3058 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3059 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3063 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3064 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3065 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3067 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3069 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3071 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3072 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3073 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3074 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3075 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3076 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3078 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3079 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3081 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3082 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3085 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3088 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3089 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3091 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3092 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3093 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3094 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3097 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3098 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3099 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3100 does not suppress any output.
3103 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3104 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3105 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3106 with all the associated security issues.
3108 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3109 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3110 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3111 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3112 use the value in the default purpose.
3115 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3116 and fix a memory leak.
3119 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3120 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3121 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3122 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3125 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3126 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3127 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3128 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3131 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3132 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3133 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3136 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3137 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3140 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3141 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3145 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3146 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3149 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3150 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3151 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3154 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3155 number generation fails.
3158 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3161 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3162 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3164 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3167 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3168 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3170 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3171 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3173 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3175 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3176 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3179 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3180 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3182 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3183 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3186 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3187 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3188 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3189 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3190 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3191 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3193 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3194 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3195 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3199 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3200 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3201 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3202 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3203 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3204 counter, some don't.)
3205 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3206 counters or duplicate objects.
3209 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3210 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3213 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3214 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3215 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3217 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3218 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3219 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3223 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3224 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3227 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3228 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3229 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3233 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3234 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3235 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3238 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3239 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3240 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3241 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3242 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3243 should work without changes.
3246 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3247 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3248 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3249 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3250 must be defined. E.g.,
3251 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3252 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3253 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3254 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3256 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3260 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3261 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3262 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3265 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3266 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3267 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3268 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3271 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3272 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3273 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3274 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3275 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3276 is prompted for as usual.
3279 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3280 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3281 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3282 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3284 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3285 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3286 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3287 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3290 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3293 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3297 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3300 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3303 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3307 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3310 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3313 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3314 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3317 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3318 options to produce them.
3321 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3322 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3325 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3329 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3330 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3331 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3332 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3333 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3334 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3335 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3338 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3341 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3342 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3343 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3346 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3347 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3349 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3350 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3353 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3354 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3355 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3359 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3360 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3362 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3363 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3364 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3365 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3366 generation becomes much faster.
3368 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3369 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3370 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3371 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3372 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3373 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3374 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3375 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3376 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3377 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3380 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3381 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3382 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3383 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3384 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3385 trial division stage.
3388 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3392 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3395 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3398 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3399 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3400 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3404 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3405 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3406 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3409 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3410 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3411 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3412 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3414 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3415 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3418 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3421 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3422 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3423 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3424 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3427 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3428 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3429 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3432 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3433 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3434 (instead of parameters) in future.
3437 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3438 when a new cipher list is set.
3441 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3442 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3445 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3446 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3447 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3449 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3450 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3451 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3452 an error is flagged.
3454 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3455 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3456 the readability was also increased :-)
3457 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3459 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3460 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3461 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3462 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3466 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3467 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3470 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3471 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3472 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3473 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3476 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3477 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3478 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3479 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3480 because they handle more complex structures.)
3483 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3484 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3485 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3486 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3488 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3489 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3490 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3491 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3492 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3493 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3494 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3497 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3498 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3499 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3500 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3501 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3504 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3507 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3508 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3509 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3510 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3511 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3514 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3518 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3519 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3520 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3521 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3524 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3527 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3528 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3529 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3530 international characters are used.
3532 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3533 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3534 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3538 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3539 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3540 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3543 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3544 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3545 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3546 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3547 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3548 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3550 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3551 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3552 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3553 be handled by the string table functions.
3555 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3556 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3557 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3558 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3559 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3563 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3564 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3565 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3566 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3567 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3569 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3570 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3571 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3572 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3575 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3576 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3577 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3578 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3579 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3583 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3584 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3585 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3586 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3587 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3588 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3589 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3590 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
