5 Changes between 0.9.8k and 1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
9 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
11 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
12 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
13 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
16 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
17 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
18 several cryptographic weaknesses. The algorithm is also disabled in
19 the default configuration.
22 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
23 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
24 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
25 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
26 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
27 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
28 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
29 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
32 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
33 OPENSSL_asc2uni the original names were too generic and cause name
35 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
37 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
38 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
40 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
44 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
45 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
46 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
47 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
48 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
49 attempting to work them out.
52 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
53 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
54 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
55 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
58 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
59 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
60 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
61 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
62 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
65 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
66 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
73 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
75 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
79 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
80 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
82 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
83 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
85 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
86 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
87 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
88 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
89 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
92 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
93 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
94 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
97 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
98 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
101 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
102 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
104 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
105 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
108 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
111 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
112 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
113 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
117 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
118 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
119 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
120 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
121 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
122 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
125 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
126 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
128 This work was sponsored by Google.
131 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
132 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
133 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
134 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
135 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
136 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
137 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
140 This work was sponsored by Google.
143 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
145 This work was sponsored by Google.
148 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
149 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
150 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
151 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
153 This work was sponsored by Google.
156 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
157 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
158 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
159 CRL functionality in future.
161 This work was sponsored by Google.
164 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
166 This work was sponsored by Google.
169 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
170 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
172 This work was sponsored by Google.
175 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
176 and URI types are currently supported.
178 This work was sponsored by Google.
181 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
182 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
183 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
184 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
185 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
186 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
187 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
188 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
190 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
191 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
192 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
194 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
195 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
196 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
197 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
199 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
200 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
201 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
202 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
203 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
204 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
205 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
206 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
208 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
210 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
211 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
212 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
214 This work was sponsored by Google.
217 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
220 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
221 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
222 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
225 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
226 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
229 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
230 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
233 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
234 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
235 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
236 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
237 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
238 content types and variants.
241 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
244 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
245 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
246 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
247 files from the associated perl scripts.
250 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
251 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
252 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
254 *) s390x assembler pack.
257 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
261 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
262 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
263 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
264 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
265 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
266 to use. For example, specify an option
268 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
270 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
271 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
272 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
273 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
274 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
275 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
277 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
278 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
279 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
280 return non-zero for success.
282 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
285 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
286 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
290 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
293 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
294 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
295 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
296 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
297 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
298 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
299 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
300 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
301 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
303 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
304 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
305 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
306 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
307 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
308 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
310 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
311 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
312 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
313 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
314 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
315 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
319 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
322 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
324 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
325 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
326 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
329 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
330 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
333 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
334 protection in servers so again support should be possible
335 with no application modification.
337 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
338 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
340 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
341 or server extensions to be examined.
343 This work was sponsored by Google.
346 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
347 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
348 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
350 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
351 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
353 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
355 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
356 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
357 to output in BER and PEM format.
360 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
361 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
362 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
363 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
364 -macopt options to dgst utility.
367 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
368 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
369 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
373 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
374 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
375 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
376 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
377 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
378 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
379 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
380 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
383 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
384 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
385 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
386 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
388 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
389 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
390 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
394 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
395 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
396 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
397 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
398 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
399 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
400 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
401 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
402 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
404 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
405 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
406 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
407 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
408 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
409 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
410 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
411 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
412 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
413 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
414 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
417 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
418 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
419 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
421 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
422 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
426 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
427 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
428 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
431 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
432 it yet and it is largely untested.
435 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
438 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
439 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
440 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
443 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
446 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
447 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
448 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
449 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
452 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
453 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
454 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
455 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
456 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
459 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
460 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
463 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
464 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
465 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
466 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
469 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
470 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
471 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
472 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
475 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
476 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
479 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
480 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
481 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
482 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
485 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
486 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
487 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
490 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
494 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
495 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
498 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
499 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
500 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
504 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
505 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
506 to free up any added signature OIDs.
509 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
510 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
511 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
512 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
515 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
516 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
517 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
518 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
519 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
520 the array representation useful in a more general context.
523 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
524 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
525 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
526 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
527 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
529 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
530 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
531 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
532 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
533 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
536 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
537 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
538 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
539 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
541 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
542 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
543 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
544 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
545 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
551 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
552 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
556 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
557 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
560 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
561 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
564 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
565 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
566 functional reference processing.
569 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
570 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
574 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
575 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
576 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
579 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
580 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
581 application to support multiple signers.
584 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
588 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
589 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
590 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
591 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
592 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
595 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
599 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
600 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
601 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
602 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
606 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
607 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
608 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
609 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
610 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
611 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
612 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
613 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
616 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
617 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
618 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
619 between digests and public key types.
622 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
623 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
624 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
625 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
628 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
629 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
633 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
636 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
640 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
641 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
642 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
643 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
648 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
650 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
652 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
654 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
655 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
656 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
657 functionality for RSA.
660 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
661 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
662 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
665 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
666 key API, doesn't do much yet.
669 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
670 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
671 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
674 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
675 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
678 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
679 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
682 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
683 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
687 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
688 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
689 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
693 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
694 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
695 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
696 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
697 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
698 of public and private key structures.
701 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
702 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
705 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
706 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
707 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
710 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
714 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
715 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
717 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
719 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
721 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
722 and response verification functionality.
723 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
725 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
726 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
727 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
728 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
729 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
730 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
731 server_name extension.
733 New functions (subject to change):
736 SSL_get_servername_type()
739 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
741 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
742 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
743 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
744 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
745 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
747 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
749 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
750 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
751 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
752 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
753 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
754 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
757 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
759 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
762 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
763 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
764 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
765 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
766 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
769 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
770 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
774 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
775 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
776 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
777 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
780 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
781 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
782 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
783 using the maximum available value.
786 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
787 in addition to the text details.
790 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
791 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
792 handle several customised structures at all.
795 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
796 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
797 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
800 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
803 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
804 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
805 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
808 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
809 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
810 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
813 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
814 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
818 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
821 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
824 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [xx XXX xxxx]
826 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
827 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
828 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
830 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
832 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
833 warnings in other configurations.
836 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
837 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
838 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
840 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
842 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
843 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
844 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
846 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
850 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
851 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
852 other than a simple chain.
853 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
855 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
856 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
857 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
858 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
861 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
862 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
863 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
864 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
865 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
866 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
867 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
869 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
871 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
872 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
873 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
874 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
875 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
876 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
877 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
879 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
880 parent structure is freed.
883 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
884 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
887 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
889 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
891 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
892 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
893 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
894 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
896 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
897 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
898 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
899 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
901 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
902 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
903 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
906 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
907 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
911 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
912 to handle some structures.
915 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
917 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
919 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
922 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
925 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
928 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
929 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
933 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
935 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
937 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
939 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
942 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
943 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
944 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
945 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
947 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
948 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
950 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
951 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
954 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
955 s_client and s_server.
958 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
959 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
961 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
962 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
964 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
965 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
966 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
967 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
968 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
971 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
973 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
974 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
977 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
978 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
979 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
980 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
982 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
983 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
985 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
987 *) Various precautionary measures:
989 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
991 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
992 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
993 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
995 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
996 outside the expected range.
998 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1001 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1003 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1004 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1005 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1007 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1010 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1013 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1015 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1018 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1019 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1020 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1022 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1025 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1026 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1027 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1031 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1033 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1034 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1035 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1036 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1038 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1039 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1042 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1044 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1045 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1046 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1048 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1050 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1051 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1052 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1053 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1056 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1057 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1058 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1059 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1060 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1061 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1062 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1064 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1066 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1067 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1068 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1069 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1070 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1072 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1073 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1075 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1076 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1077 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1078 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1079 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1081 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1083 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1084 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1085 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1086 sets may exist with different names.
1089 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1090 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1091 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1092 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1093 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1094 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1095 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1096 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1097 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1099 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1101 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1102 implemention in the following ways:
1104 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1107 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1108 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1109 ignored for embedded content.
1111 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1112 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1115 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1116 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1117 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1118 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1120 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1121 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1124 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1125 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1128 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1129 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1130 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1131 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1132 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1133 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1137 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1138 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1139 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1143 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1144 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1145 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1146 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1147 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1148 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1149 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1150 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1152 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1153 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1154 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1155 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1156 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1157 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1158 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1160 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1161 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1162 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1163 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1164 to s_client and s_server.
1167 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1169 *) Fix various bugs:
1170 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1171 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1172 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1173 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1174 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1176 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1178 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1179 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1180 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1181 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1182 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1183 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1184 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1185 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1188 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1189 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1190 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1193 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1194 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1195 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1198 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1199 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1202 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1203 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1204 with no application modification.
1206 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1207 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1209 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1210 or server extensions to be examined.
1212 This work was sponsored by Google.
1215 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1216 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1217 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1218 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1219 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1220 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1221 server_name extension.
1223 New functions (subject to change):
1225 SSL_get_servername()
1226 SSL_get_servername_type()
1229 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1231 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1232 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1233 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1234 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1235 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1237 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1239 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1240 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1241 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1242 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1243 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1244 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1247 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1249 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1252 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1255 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1256 (which previously caused an internal error).
1259 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1262 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1263 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1265 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1266 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1267 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1269 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1270 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1271 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1272 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1274 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1275 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1276 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1277 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1279 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1280 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1281 information. For detailed background information, see
1282 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1283 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1284 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1285 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1286 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1287 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1288 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1289 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1290 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1291 remove a conditional branch.
1293 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1294 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1295 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1296 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1297 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1298 remains as a deprecated alias.
1300 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1301 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1302 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1303 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1305 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1306 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1307 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1308 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1309 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1310 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1311 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1312 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1314 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1316 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1317 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1318 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1319 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1320 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1321 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1322 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1323 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1324 in a different context.
1327 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1328 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1329 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1332 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1333 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1334 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1336 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1338 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1339 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1340 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1341 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1342 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1345 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1346 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1347 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1348 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1349 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1350 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1353 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1354 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1355 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1356 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1357 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1360 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1361 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1363 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1364 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1365 Improve header file function name parsing.
1368 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1369 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1372 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1374 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1375 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1376 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1378 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1379 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1381 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1382 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1384 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1385 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1386 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1388 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1389 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1390 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1391 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1392 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1393 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1394 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1395 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1396 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1398 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1399 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1400 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1401 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1402 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1404 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1405 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1406 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1407 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1408 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1409 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1410 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1411 multiple values to extend the available space.
1415 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1417 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1418 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1420 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1423 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1424 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1425 undesirable limitations.
1426 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1428 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1429 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1430 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1431 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1432 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1433 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1434 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1437 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1439 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1440 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1441 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1443 The latter two were purportedly from
1444 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1447 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1448 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1449 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1452 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1453 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1456 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1457 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1458 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1459 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1461 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1462 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1463 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1466 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1467 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1468 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1469 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1470 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1471 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1474 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1476 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1477 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1480 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1481 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1483 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1484 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1485 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1486 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1489 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1490 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1493 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1494 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1495 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1496 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1497 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1498 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1499 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1503 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1504 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1505 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1506 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1509 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1510 under VC++ build system.
1513 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1514 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1517 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1519 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1520 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1521 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1522 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1523 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1525 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1526 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1527 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1529 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1532 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1533 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1536 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1537 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1539 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1542 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1543 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1545 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1546 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1549 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1550 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1554 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1556 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1559 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1562 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1563 key into the same file any more.
1566 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1569 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1570 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1572 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1573 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1576 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1577 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1578 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1579 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1580 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1581 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1583 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1584 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1585 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1588 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1589 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1590 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1591 - add new function for parameter creation
1592 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1593 BN_BLINDING parameters
1594 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1595 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1596 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1600 *) Add support for DTLS.
1601 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1603 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1604 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1607 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1608 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1611 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1612 the apps/openssl applications.
1615 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1616 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1617 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1620 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1621 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1623 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1624 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1626 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1627 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1628 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1629 avoid this algorithm.)
1633 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1634 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1635 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1638 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1639 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1642 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1643 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1644 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1647 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1649 The blank line is mandatory.
1653 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1654 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1658 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1659 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1661 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1662 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1663 to support policy checking and print out.
1666 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1667 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1668 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1669 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1671 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1674 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1675 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1677 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1678 implementation contributed by IBM.
1679 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1681 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1682 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1683 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1684 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1686 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1687 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1689 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1690 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1691 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1692 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1693 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1694 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1697 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1698 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1699 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1700 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1701 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1702 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1703 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1706 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1709 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1710 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1711 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1712 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1713 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1714 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1715 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1716 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1719 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1720 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1721 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1722 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1725 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1728 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1731 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1732 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1733 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1734 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1735 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1736 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1737 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1740 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1741 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1744 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1745 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1746 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1749 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1750 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1751 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1755 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1756 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1759 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1760 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1761 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1762 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1765 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1766 initialised value as BN_new().
1767 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1769 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1772 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1773 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1774 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1775 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1776 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1777 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1778 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1779 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1780 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1781 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1782 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1783 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1784 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1785 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1786 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1788 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1789 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1790 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1791 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1794 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1795 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1796 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1797 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1798 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1799 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1800 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1801 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1802 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1805 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1806 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1807 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1808 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1809 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1810 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1811 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1814 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1815 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1816 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1817 these have been updated also.
1820 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1821 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1822 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1823 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1824 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1828 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1829 structure of type "other".
1832 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1833 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1834 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1835 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1836 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1837 situation in the script.
1838 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1840 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1841 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1842 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1843 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1844 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1845 used as premaster secret.
1846 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1848 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1849 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1850 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1852 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1853 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1855 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1856 control of the error stack.
1859 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1862 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1863 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1864 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1865 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1868 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1869 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1870 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1873 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1874 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1875 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1879 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1880 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1881 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1882 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1885 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1886 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1887 the following flags are defined:
1889 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1890 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1891 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1894 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1895 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1896 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1897 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1901 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1902 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1903 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1904 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1905 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1908 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1909 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1910 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1913 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1914 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1915 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1916 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1917 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1918 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1921 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1925 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1928 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1931 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1934 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1935 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1936 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1937 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1938 default implementation more easily.
1941 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1945 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1946 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1949 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1950 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1951 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1952 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1954 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1955 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1956 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1957 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1960 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1961 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1965 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1966 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1967 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1968 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1969 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1970 scalar * generator).
1971 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1973 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1974 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1975 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1979 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1980 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1981 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1982 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1983 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1984 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1985 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1986 linker additions, eg;
1987 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1990 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1991 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1992 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1995 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1996 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1997 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2001 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2002 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2003 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2004 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2007 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2008 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2009 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2010 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2011 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2012 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2013 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2014 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2015 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2016 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2018 Example for using the new callback interface:
2020 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2024 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2026 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2027 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2028 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2029 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2030 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2031 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2036 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2037 available to TLS with the number defined in
2038 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2041 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2042 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2044 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2045 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2046 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2047 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2049 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2050 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2052 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2053 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2057 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2058 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2061 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2062 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2063 and a macro that behave like
2064 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2066 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2069 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2070 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2071 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2073 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2075 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2078 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2079 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2080 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2081 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2083 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2084 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2085 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2086 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2087 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2088 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2089 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2090 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2092 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2093 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2096 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2097 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2099 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2100 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2101 files while avoiding the low level API.
2103 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2104 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2105 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2106 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2108 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2109 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2110 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2111 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2112 instead of the low level API.
2115 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2116 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2117 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2118 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2119 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2122 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2123 down to the template encoder.
2126 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2127 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2130 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2131 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2132 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2133 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2135 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2136 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2138 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2139 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2141 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2142 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2145 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2146 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2147 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2150 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2151 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2153 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2154 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2156 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2157 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2160 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2164 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2165 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2166 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2167 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2168 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2169 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2171 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2172 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2175 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2176 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2177 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2178 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2179 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2180 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2181 various internal method names.)
2183 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2184 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2186 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2187 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2189 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2190 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2192 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2193 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2194 methods are undefined.
2196 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2197 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2199 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2200 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2201 length of the modulus.
2203 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2204 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2206 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2207 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2209 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2210 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2212 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2213 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2214 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2217 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2218 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2219 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2220 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2222 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2223 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2224 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2225 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2227 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2228 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2230 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2231 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2232 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2233 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2234 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2236 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2237 This applies to the following functions:
2242 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2243 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2245 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2246 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2250 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2255 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2257 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2258 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2259 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2260 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2261 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2263 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2264 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2266 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2267 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2268 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2270 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2271 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2273 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2274 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2275 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2276 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2277 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2279 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2281 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2282 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2283 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2284 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2285 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2286 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2287 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2288 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2289 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2290 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2291 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2292 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2294 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2297 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2298 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2299 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2300 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2302 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2303 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2304 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2305 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2310 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2311 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2312 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2313 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2314 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2316 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2317 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2318 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2319 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2320 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2321 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2322 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2323 adding different types of curves.
2324 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2326 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2327 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2328 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2331 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2332 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2334 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2335 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2336 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2337 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2339 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2341 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2342 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2344 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2345 library. Most notably,
2346 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2347 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2348 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2349 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2350 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2351 extracted before the specific public key;
2352 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2353 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2355 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2356 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2358 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2359 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2360 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2361 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2363 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2364 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2365 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2367 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2368 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2369 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2370 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2371 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2372 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2376 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2378 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2379 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2380 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2381 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2382 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2383 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2384 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2385 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2386 in a different context.
2389 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2391 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2393 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2395 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2396 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2397 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2400 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2401 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2402 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2405 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2408 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2409 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2412 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2413 run algorithm test programs.
2416 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2419 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2420 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2421 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2422 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2423 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2426 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2427 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2430 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2432 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2433 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2434 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2436 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result

2439 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2440 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2442 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2443 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2444 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2446 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2447 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2448 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2449 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2450 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2451 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2452 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2455 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2457 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2458 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2460 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2461 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2462 undesirable limitations.
2463 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2465 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2467 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2468 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2469 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2471 The latter two were purportedly from
2472 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2475 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2476 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2477 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2480 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2481 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2484 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2486 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2487 module in FIPS mode.
2490 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2493 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2494 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2495 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2496 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2499 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2501 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2502 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2503 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2504 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2505 the difference induced by this change.
2508 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2510 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2511 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2512 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2513 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2514 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2516 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2517 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2518 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2520 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2521 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2524 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2525 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2526 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2527 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2531 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2532 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2533 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2534 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2535 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2537 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2538 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2539 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2540 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2541 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2542 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2544 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2546 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2547 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2548 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2549 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2550 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2553 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2557 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2558 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2559 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2562 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2563 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2564 structures constant.
2567 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2569 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2572 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2573 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2574 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2575 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2576 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2577 some needed definitions.
2580 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2583 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2584 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2585 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2586 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2589 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2591 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2592 server and client random values. Previously
2593 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2594 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2596 This change has negligible security impact because:
2598 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2601 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2604 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2605 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2608 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2611 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2613 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2616 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2617 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2618 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2620 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2623 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2624 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2627 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2628 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2629 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2631 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2634 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2635 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2636 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2640 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2641 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2642 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2643 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2645 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2646 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2647 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2648 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2652 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2654 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2655 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2656 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2657 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2658 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2661 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2664 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2665 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2667 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2668 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2669 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2670 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2671 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2672 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2673 rather than being initialized to 1.
2676 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2678 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2679 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2680 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2682 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2684 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2686 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2687 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2688 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2689 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2690 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2691 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2694 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2695 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2696 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2697 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2698 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2702 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2703 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2704 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2705 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2706 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2709 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2710 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2711 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2715 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2716 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2718 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2721 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2723 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2725 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2726 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2728 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2730 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2731 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2735 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2736 exiting on the first error in a request.
2739 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2740 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2744 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2745 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2746 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2747 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2749 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2750 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2753 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2754 blocks during encryption.
2757 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2758 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2759 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2760 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2764 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2765 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2766 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2767 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2768 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2772 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2774 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2775 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2776 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2777 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2780 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2781 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2782 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2783 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2784 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2786 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2787 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2788 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2789 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2790 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2791 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2792 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2793 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2794 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2797 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2798 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2799 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2800 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2803 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2804 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2807 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2809 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2810 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2811 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2812 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2813 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2815 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2816 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2817 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2819 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2820 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2821 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2822 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2823 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2825 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2826 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2827 used by default when no-err is given.
2830 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2831 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2833 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2834 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2835 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2836 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2837 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2839 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2840 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2841 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2842 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2844 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2846 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2848 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2850 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2851 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2852 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2853 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2857 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2858 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2860 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2861 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2864 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2865 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2866 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2867 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2870 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2871 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2872 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2873 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2874 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2875 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2876 followup to PR #377.
2879 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2880 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2883 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2884 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2885 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2907 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2908 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2909 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2910 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2911 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2912 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2914 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2915 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2916 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2917 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2918 have to be made anyway).
2921 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2922 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2923 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2926 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2927 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2928 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2931 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2932 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

2972 representations in a platform independent manner.

3037 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3039 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3040 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3042 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3043 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3044 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3045 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3047 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3048 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3049 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3051 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3052 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3053 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3054 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3056 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3057 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3058 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3061 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3062 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3063 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3064 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3065 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3066 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3067 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3068 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3071 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3072 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3073 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3076 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3077 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3078 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3079 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3080 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3082 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3083 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3085 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3086 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3089 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3090 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3091 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3092 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3093 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3094 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3097 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3098 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3099 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3102 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3103 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3106 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3107 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3108 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3109 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3110 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3111 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3112 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3115 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3116 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3117 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3118 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3119 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3120 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3123 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3124 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3125 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3126 declaration has been changed from
3129 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3130 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3131 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3132 has been changed into
3133 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3135 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3136 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3137 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3139 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3140 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3142 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3143 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3144 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3145 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3146 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3147 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3148 always load it have also been added.
3151 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3152 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3153 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3155 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3157 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3158 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3159 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3161 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3162 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3163 command line option can be used to specify an
3167 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3168 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3171 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3172 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3173 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3176 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3177 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3178 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3179 to work with the new engine framework.
3180 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3182 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3183 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3184 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3185 to work with the new engine framework.
3188 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3189 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3190 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3192 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3193 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3195 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3196 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3197 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3198 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3200 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3202 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3203 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3205 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3206 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3208 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3209 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3210 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3213 *) Add new functions
3215 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3216 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3217 These are similar to
3220 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3221 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3222 still in the error queue.
3223 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3225 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3227 default_algorithms = ALL
3228 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3231 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3234 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3237 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3238 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3239 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3240 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3242 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3243 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3245 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3246 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3248 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3249 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3252 *) New functions/macros
3254 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3255 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3256 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3257 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3259 to request calling a callback function
3261 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3262 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3264 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3265 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3266 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3267 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3268 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3269 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3270 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3271 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3272 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3273 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3275 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3276 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3279 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3280 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3281 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3282 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3283 the configuration scripts.
3285 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3286 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3287 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3289 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3290 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3292 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3293 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3294 when reusing an existing buffer.
3297 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3298 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3301 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3302 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3305 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3306 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3307 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3308 has the same effect.
3309 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3311 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3312 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3313 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3314 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3315 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3316 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3319 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3320 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3321 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3322 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3324 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3325 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3326 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3327 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3329 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3330 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3333 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3334 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3335 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3336 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3337 default), and then completely removed.
3340 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3341 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3342 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3343 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3344 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3345 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3346 particular extension is supported.
3349 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3350 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3353 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3354 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3355 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3356 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3357 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3358 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3359 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3360 requires the destination to be valid.
3362 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3363 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3366 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3367 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3368 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3371 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3372 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3374 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3375 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3376 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3377 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3378 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3379 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3380 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3381 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3382 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3383 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3384 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3385 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3386 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3387 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3388 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3389 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3390 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3391 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3392 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3396 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3399 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3400 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3401 become part of libeay.num as well.
3404 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3405 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3406 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3407 false once a handshake has been completed.
3408 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3409 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3410 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3411 client has followed the request.)
3414 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3415 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3416 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3417 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3419 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3420 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3421 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3424 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3427 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3428 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3429 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3432 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3433 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3436 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3437 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3438 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3439 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3442 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3443 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3444 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3445 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3446 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3447 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3450 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3451 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3452 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3453 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3454 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3455 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3456 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3457 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3460 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3461 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3464 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3467 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3468 md_data void pointer.
3471 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3472 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3473 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3474 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3475 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3476 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3479 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3480 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3481 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3482 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3483 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3484 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3485 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3486 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3487 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3488 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3489 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3490 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3491 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3492 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3493 rather than letting it slide.
3495 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3496 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3497 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3500 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3501 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3502 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3503 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3504 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3505 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3506 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3507 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3508 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3511 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3512 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3513 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3514 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3515 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3517 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3520 *) Add EVP test program.
3523 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3526 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3527 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3528 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3529 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3530 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3533 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3534 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3535 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3536 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3537 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3538 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3539 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3541 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3542 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3543 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3548 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3549 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3550 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3551 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3552 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3556 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3557 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3558 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3559 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3562 des_key_schedule ks;
3564 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3565 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3567 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3570 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3571 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3572 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3573 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3574 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3575 functions prevents this.
3578 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3581 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3582 correct _ecb suffix.
3585 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3586 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3587 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3588 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3589 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3592 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3595 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3596 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3597 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3598 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3600 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3601 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3603 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

3608 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3609 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3610 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3611 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3614 *) Speed up EVP routines.
