5 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Because of the SWEET32 attack, 3DES cipher suites have been disabled by
8 default like RC4. See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
11 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
12 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
13 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
14 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
17 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
18 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
22 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
23 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
24 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
25 no-ops and deprecated.
28 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
29 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
31 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
33 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
34 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
35 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
38 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
39 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
40 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
41 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
42 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
43 and the validity of object reference counter.
44 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
46 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
47 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
48 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
49 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
52 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
55 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
56 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
57 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
58 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
60 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
64 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
65 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
68 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
71 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
74 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
75 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
76 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
77 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
78 name and is used as is.
81 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
82 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
83 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
86 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
87 the "no-shared" Configure option.
90 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
91 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
95 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
96 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
97 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
98 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
99 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
100 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
101 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
102 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
106 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
107 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
108 enabled with '--debug' builds.
109 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
111 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
112 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
113 these have been added.
116 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
117 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
118 functions for managing these have been added.
121 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
122 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
123 these have been added.
126 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
127 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
131 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
134 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
137 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
138 it is always safe to #include a header now.
141 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
144 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
147 *) Add support for HKDF.
150 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
153 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
154 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
155 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
156 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
157 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
158 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
159 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
162 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
163 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
164 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
167 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
168 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
169 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
170 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
171 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
172 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
173 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
175 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
176 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
179 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
182 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
183 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
184 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
185 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
186 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
187 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
191 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
192 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
195 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
196 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
197 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
200 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
201 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
202 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
203 implemented by other servers.
206 *) Add X25519 support.
207 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
208 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
209 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The coresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
210 key generation and key derivation.
212 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
216 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
217 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
218 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
219 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
220 seed, even if the seed is configured.
222 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
223 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
224 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
225 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
226 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
227 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
228 that of a valid user.
231 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
232 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
233 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
234 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
236 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
237 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
239 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
240 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
241 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
242 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
244 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
245 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
249 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
250 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
251 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
252 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
253 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
254 of how OpenSSL was configured.
256 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
257 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
258 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
261 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
264 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
265 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
266 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
270 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
271 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
272 old #define's might need to be updated.
273 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
275 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
278 *) New "unified" build system
280 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
281 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
283 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
284 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
285 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
287 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
288 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
289 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
290 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
293 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
296 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
297 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
298 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
299 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
302 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
303 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
305 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
306 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
307 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
308 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
309 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
310 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
311 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
312 have been adapted accordingly.
315 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
319 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
320 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
321 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
322 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
325 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
326 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
327 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
331 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
332 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
335 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
336 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
337 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
339 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
340 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
341 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
343 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
344 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
346 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
347 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
348 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
349 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
352 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
353 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
354 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
355 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
356 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
360 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
361 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
362 straightforward and less interdependent.
364 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
365 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
366 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
368 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
369 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
370 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
372 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
373 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
374 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
375 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
377 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
378 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
381 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
382 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
383 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
384 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
388 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
390 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
392 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
393 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
394 before trying to build now.*
397 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
401 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
403 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
404 the application's responsibility. The application provides
405 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
406 used to authenticate the peer.
408 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
409 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
410 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
411 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
412 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
415 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
416 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
417 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
418 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
419 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
420 or the 1.1.0 releases.
422 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
423 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
424 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
425 support for the deprecated features from the library and
426 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
427 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
428 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
429 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
432 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
433 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
434 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
435 compile with later releases.
437 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
438 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
439 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
440 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
441 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
444 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
445 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
446 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
447 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
448 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
449 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
450 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
451 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
454 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
457 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
458 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
459 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
462 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
463 include the ec.h header file instead.
466 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
467 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
468 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
471 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
472 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
475 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
476 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
478 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
479 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
480 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
483 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
484 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
485 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
486 an already created structure.
487 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
488 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
489 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
490 for deprecated builds.
493 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
494 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
495 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
496 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
497 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
498 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
499 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
502 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
503 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
504 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
505 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
508 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
509 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
512 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
513 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
516 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
517 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
518 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
519 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
520 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
521 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
522 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
526 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
527 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
528 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
531 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
534 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
536 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
538 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
540 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
541 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
549 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
550 set a mandatory field to NULL.
552 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
553 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
554 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
558 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
561 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
562 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
563 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
564 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
567 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
568 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
569 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
570 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
573 *) Fix no-stdio build.
574 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
575 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
577 *) New testing framework
578 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
579 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
580 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
581 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
582 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
583 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
585 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
587 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
588 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
592 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
593 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
594 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
595 and others were changed. All are now documented.
598 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
600 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
602 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
603 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
605 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
606 original RSA_PSK patch.
609 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
610 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
611 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
612 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
615 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
616 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
619 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
620 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
621 hasn't been working properly for a while.
624 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
625 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
626 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
627 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
631 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
632 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
633 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
634 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
637 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
638 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
639 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
640 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
641 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
642 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
645 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
646 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
647 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
648 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
649 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
650 header file has been removed.
653 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
654 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
657 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
658 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
659 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
661 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
665 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
668 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
672 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
675 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
676 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
677 initial patch which was a great help during development.
680 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
681 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
682 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
683 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
686 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
687 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
688 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
689 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
690 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
691 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
694 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
695 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
696 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
697 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
700 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
701 compatible client hello.
704 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
705 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
706 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
708 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
711 *) Removed old DES API.
714 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
720 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
725 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
728 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
729 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
730 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
731 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
732 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
733 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
734 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
735 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
736 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
737 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
738 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
741 *) Cleaned up dead code
742 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
745 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
746 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
747 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
750 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
751 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
752 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
755 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
756 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
757 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
759 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
760 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
761 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
763 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
765 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
767 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
768 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
769 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
771 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
772 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
774 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
775 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
778 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
779 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
780 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
781 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
783 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
784 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
785 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
786 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
788 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
789 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
790 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
792 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
793 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
796 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
798 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
799 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
801 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
802 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
804 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
807 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
811 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
812 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
813 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
814 algorithms and include tests cases.
817 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
821 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
822 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
825 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
826 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
828 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
829 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
832 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
833 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
837 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
838 sign or verify all in one operation.
841 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
842 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
843 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
846 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
849 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
852 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
853 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
854 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
855 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
856 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
859 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
863 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
864 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
865 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
868 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
869 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
872 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
875 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
876 POST to handle HMAC cases.
879 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
880 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
883 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
884 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
885 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
888 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
889 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
890 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
891 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
892 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
893 requested amount of entropy.
896 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
897 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
900 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
901 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
902 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
906 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
907 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
908 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
911 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
912 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
913 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
914 will never use XTS mode.
917 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
918 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
919 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
920 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
921 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
922 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
925 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
926 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
927 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
928 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
931 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
932 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
933 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
936 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
939 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
942 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
943 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
946 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
947 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
950 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
951 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
954 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
955 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
956 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
957 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
958 and rename any affected symbols.
961 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
962 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
965 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
966 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
967 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
970 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
973 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
974 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
975 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
978 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
979 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
982 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
983 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
984 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
985 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
986 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
987 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
991 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
992 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
993 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
994 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
995 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
996 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
997 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
998 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1001 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1002 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1005 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1007 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1008 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1010 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1011 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1012 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1013 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1014 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1015 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1017 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1018 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1019 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1021 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1023 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1027 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1028 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1031 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1032 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1033 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1036 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1037 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1038 multi-process servers.
1041 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1042 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1043 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1044 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1045 RAND_METHOD structure.
1048 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1049 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1050 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1051 whose return value is often ignored.
1054 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1055 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1056 validated when establishing a connection.
1057 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1059 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1061 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1063 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1064 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1067 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1068 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1069 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1070 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1071 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1074 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1078 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1080 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1081 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1082 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1085 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1086 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1087 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1088 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1089 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1090 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1092 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1096 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1098 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1099 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1100 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1101 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1102 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1103 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1104 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1105 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1106 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1107 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1108 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1109 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1110 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1111 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1112 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1113 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1115 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1119 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1121 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1122 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1123 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1125 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1126 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1127 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1128 applications are not affected.
1130 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1136 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1137 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1138 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1140 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1144 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1145 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1148 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1152 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1153 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1156 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1158 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1159 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1160 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1163 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1164 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1165 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1166 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1167 will need to explicitly call either of:
1169 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1171 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1173 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1174 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1175 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1176 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1177 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1181 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1183 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1184 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1185 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1188 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1193 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1195 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1197 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1198 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1199 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1202 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1203 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1204 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1205 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1206 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1207 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1208 that of a valid user.
1212 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1214 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1215 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1216 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1217 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1218 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1219 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1220 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1221 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1222 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1223 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1224 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1226 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1227 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1228 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1229 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1230 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1232 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1236 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1238 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1239 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1240 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1242 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1243 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1244 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1245 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1246 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1249 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1250 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1251 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1252 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1253 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1254 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1255 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1256 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1257 as command line arguments.
1259 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1260 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1261 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1263 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1267 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1269 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1270 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1271 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1272 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1273 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1275 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1276 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1277 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1278 http://cachebleed.info.
1282 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1283 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1284 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1285 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
1288 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1289 *) DH small subgroups
1291 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1292 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1293 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1294 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1295 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1296 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1297 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1298 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1299 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1300 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1302 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1303 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1304 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1305 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1306 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1308 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1309 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1310 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1311 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1313 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1314 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1316 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1320 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1322 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1323 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1324 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1327 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
1328 and Sebastian Schinzel.
1332 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
1334 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1336 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1337 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1338 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1339 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1340 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1341 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1342 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1343 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1344 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1345 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1346 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1347 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
1349 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
1353 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1355 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1356 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1357 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1358 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1359 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1360 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1361 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1364 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
1368 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1370 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1371 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1372 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1373 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1375 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1380 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1381 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1382 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1383 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1386 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1388 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1390 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
1392 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1394 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1395 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1396 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1397 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1398 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1399 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
1401 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1405 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
1407 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
1408 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
1412 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
1414 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1416 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1417 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1420 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1421 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1422 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1423 client authentication enabled.
1425 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1429 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1431 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1432 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1433 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1436 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1437 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1438 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1439 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1440 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1443 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1444 independently by Hanno Böck.
1448 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1450 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1451 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1452 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1454 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1455 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1456 servers are not affected.
1458 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1462 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1464 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1465 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1466 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1468 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
1472 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1474 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1475 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1476 a double free of the ticket data.
1480 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
1481 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
1482 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
1485 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
1487 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1489 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1490 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1491 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1493 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1496 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1498 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1500 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1501 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1502 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1503 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1504 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1505 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1506 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1507 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1509 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1513 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1515 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1516 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1517 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1518 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1519 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1520 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1521 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1522 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1525 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1529 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1531 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1532 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1533 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1534 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1535 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1536 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1540 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1542 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1543 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1544 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1545 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1546 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1547 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1548 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1550 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1554 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1556 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1557 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1558 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1560 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1561 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1562 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1567 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1569 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1570 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1571 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1573 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1574 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1575 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1577 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1581 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1583 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1584 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1585 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1587 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1588 (OpenSSL development team).
1592 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1594 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1595 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1596 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1600 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1602 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1603 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1604 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1605 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1606 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1607 SSL_client_methodv23)
1608 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1609 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1611 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1612 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1613 output may be predictable.
1615 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1616 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1618 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1622 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1624 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1625 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1626 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1627 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1628 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1629 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1631 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1636 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1638 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1639 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1641 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1645 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1648 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1650 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1651 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1652 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1653 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1654 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1655 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1658 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1659 (other platforms pending).
1660 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1662 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1663 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1666 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1667 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1668 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1671 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1672 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1673 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1674 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1677 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1678 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1680 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1681 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1682 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1683 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1684 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1686 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1689 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1690 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1691 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1692 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1694 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1696 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1698 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1699 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1700 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1703 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1706 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1707 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1708 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1711 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1712 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1715 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1716 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1719 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1720 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1721 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1722 algorithms and include tests cases.
1725 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1727 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1729 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1730 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1733 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1734 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1735 summary of the connection parameters.
1738 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1739 of connection parameters.
1742 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1743 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1745 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1746 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1749 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1752 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1753 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1756 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1757 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1760 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1764 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1765 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1766 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1769 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1772 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1773 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1776 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1777 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1778 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1782 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1783 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1786 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1790 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1794 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1795 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1796 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1797 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1800 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1801 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1804 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1805 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1806 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1810 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1811 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1812 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1813 use the certificate.
1816 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1819 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1820 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1821 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
1822 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1823 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
1824 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1825 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1827 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1828 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1832 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1833 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1834 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1837 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1838 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1839 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1840 supported signature algorithms.
1843 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1846 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1847 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1848 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1849 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1850 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1851 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1852 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1855 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1856 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1857 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1858 to have similar checks in it.
1860 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1861 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1862 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1863 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1864 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1867 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1868 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1869 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1870 shared signature algorithms.
1873 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1874 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1878 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1879 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1880 it couldn't be removed.
1883 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1884 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
1887 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1888 functions. Add manual page.
1889 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1891 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1892 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1896 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1897 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1899 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1900 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1901 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1902 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1906 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1907 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1910 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1911 platform support for Linux and Android.
1914 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1917 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1918 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1919 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1920 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1921 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1924 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1925 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1926 the new parameter format automatically.
1929 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1930 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1933 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1936 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1937 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1938 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1939 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1940 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1943 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1944 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1945 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1946 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1947 to set list of supported curves.
1950 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1951 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1952 to print out received values.
1955 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1956 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1957 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1960 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1961 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1964 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1965 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1968 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1972 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1974 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1975 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1976 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1978 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1980 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1981 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1983 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1985 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1986 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1987 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1988 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1992 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1993 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1994 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1995 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1996 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1997 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2001 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2002 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2003 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2004 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2008 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2011 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2012 reporting this issue.
2016 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2017 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2018 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2019 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2020 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2021 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2025 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2026 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2027 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2028 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2029 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2030 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2031 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2036 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2037 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2039 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2040 and can vary with the CTX.
2043 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2045 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2046 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2047 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2048 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2049 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2051 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2053 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2054 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2056 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2058 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2059 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2060 errors for some broken certificates.
2062 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2064 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2066 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2067 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2069 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2070 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2071 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2072 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2074 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2075 of the OpenSSL core team.
2080 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2081 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2082 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2083 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2084 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2085 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2086 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2087 the OpenSSL core team.
2091 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2092 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2093 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2094 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2095 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2097 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2098 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2099 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2102 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2103 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2104 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2105 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2106 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2108 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2109 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2110 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2113 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2115 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2117 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2118 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2119 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2120 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2121 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2122 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2123 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2125 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2129 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2131 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2132 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2133 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2134 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2135 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2140 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2142 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2143 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2144 configured to send them.
2146 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2148 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2149 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2150 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2152 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2154 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2156 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2157 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2158 DigestInfo structures.
2160 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2164 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2166 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2167 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2168 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2170 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2171 Group for discovering this issue.
2175 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2176 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2177 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2178 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2179 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2181 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2182 researching this issue.
2186 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2187 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2188 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2189 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2191 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2196 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2197 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2198 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2202 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2203 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2204 Denial of Service attack.
2205 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2209 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2210 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2211 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2212 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2217 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2218 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2219 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2221 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2226 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2227 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2228 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2229 Denial of Service attack.
2231 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2232 discovering and researching this issue.
2236 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2237 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2238 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2239 output to the attacker.
2241 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2243 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2245 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2246 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2247 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2250 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2252 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2253 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2254 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2256 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2257 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2258 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2260 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2261 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2264 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2266 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2268 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2269 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2270 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2271 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2273 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2274 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2276 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2277 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2279 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2280 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2281 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2283 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2285 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2287 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2288 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2289 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2291 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2292 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2294 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2296 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2297 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2300 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2301 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2302 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2303 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2305 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2306 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2307 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2308 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2310 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2311 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2312 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2314 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2316 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2317 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2318 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2319 is at least 512 bytes long.
2321 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2323 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2325 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2326 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2327 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2330 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2331 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2332 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2335 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2336 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2337 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2338 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2339 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2340 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2341 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2343 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2345 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2346 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2347 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2349 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2351 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2353 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2354 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2355 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2357 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2358 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2359 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2360 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2362 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2364 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2365 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2366 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2367 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2368 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2372 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2373 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2376 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2377 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2379 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2380 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2381 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2382 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2383 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2385 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2388 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2392 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2394 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2395 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2397 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2398 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2402 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2403 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2406 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2410 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2412 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2413 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2414 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2415 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2416 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2417 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2418 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2419 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2420 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2421 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2424 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2425 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2426 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2427 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2428 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2429 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2433 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2435 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2436 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2437 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2439 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2440 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2442 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2444 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2447 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2448 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2450 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2451 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2452 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2453 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2454 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2455 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2456 Most broken servers should now work.
2457 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2458 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2461 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2464 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2466 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2467 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2470 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2471 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2472 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2473 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2474 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2477 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2478 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2479 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2480 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2481 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2484 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2485 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2487 *) Add support for SCTP.
2488 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2490 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2491 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2493 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2495 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2496 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2497 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2498 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2499 - s390x: z196 support;
2500 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2504 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2505 (removal of unnecessary code)
2506 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2508 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2511 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2514 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2515 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2516 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2518 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2520 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2521 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2522 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2523 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2524 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2526 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2527 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2528 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2530 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2531 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2532 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2534 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2535 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2537 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2539 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2540 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2541 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2544 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2545 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2549 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2550 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2551 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2554 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2555 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2556 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2557 the appropriate parameters.
2560 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2561 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2562 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2563 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2564 against a number of sample certificates.
2567 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2568 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2570 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2571 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2573 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2574 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2578 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2582 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2583 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2584 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2585 password based CMS).
2588 *) Session-handling fixes:
2589 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2590 but also support Session Tickets.
2591 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2592 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2593 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2594 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2595 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2596 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2598 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2601 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2603 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2606 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2607 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2608 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2609 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2610 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2613 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2614 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2617 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2618 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2619 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2622 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2623 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2624 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2625 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2628 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2629 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2630 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2633 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2634 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2636 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2639 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2640 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2643 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2646 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2647 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2650 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2651 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2654 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2657 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2658 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2659 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2662 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2665 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2668 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2669 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2672 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2673 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2674 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2677 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2680 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2684 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2685 FIPS modules versions.
2688 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2689 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2690 until after the certificate request message is received.
2693 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2694 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2695 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2696 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2699 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2700 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2701 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2702 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2705 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2706 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2707 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2708 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2709 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2710 and version checking.
2713 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2714 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2715 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2716 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2720 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2722 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2725 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2726 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2727 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2729 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2730 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2731 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2734 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2735 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2737 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2738 a few changes are required:
2740 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2741 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2742 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2743 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2744 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2747 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2749 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2750 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2751 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2752 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2753 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
2754 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2755 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2756 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2757 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2760 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2761 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2762 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2765 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2767 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2768 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2769 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2770 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2773 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2775 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2776 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2777 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2778 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2779 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2780 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2781 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2782 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2783 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2784 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2785 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2786 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2787 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2789 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2791 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2793 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2794 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2795 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2796 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2798 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2799 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2801 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2802 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2803 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2804 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2806 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2807 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2809 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2810 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2812 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2813 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2815 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2816 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2817 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2819 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2820 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2821 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2823 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2824 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2825 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2826 the last update always remained unused).
2827 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2829 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2830 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2832 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2834 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2835 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2836 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2838 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2839 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2840 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2842 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2845 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2846 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2847 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2850 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2851 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2853 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2855 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2857 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2859 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2860 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2862 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2863 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2867 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2869 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2870 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2871 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2874 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2875 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2876 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2879 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2881 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2882 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2883 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2886 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2890 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2892 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2894 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2896 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2898 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2899 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2900 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2903 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2906 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2907 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2908 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2910 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2911 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2912 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2915 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2916 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2919 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2920 some responders need this.
2923 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2925 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2927 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2928 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2929 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2932 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2935 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2936 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2937 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2938 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2939 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2940 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2941 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2942 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2945 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2946 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2947 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2948 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2950 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2951 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2953 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2957 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2958 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2959 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2960 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2961 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2962 attempting to work them out.
2965 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2966 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2967 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2968 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2971 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2972 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2973 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2974 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2975 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2978 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2979 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2986 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2988 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2992 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2993 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2995 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2996 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2998 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2999 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3000 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3001 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3002 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3005 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3006 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3007 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3010 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3011 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3014 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3015 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3017 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3018 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3021 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3024 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3025 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3026 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3030 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3031 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3032 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3033 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3034 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3035 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3038 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3039 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3041 This work was sponsored by Google.
3044 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3045 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3046 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3047 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3048 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3049 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3050 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3053 This work was sponsored by Google.
3056 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3058 This work was sponsored by Google.
3061 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3062 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3063 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3064 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3066 This work was sponsored by Google.
3069 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3070 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3071 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3072 CRL functionality in future.
3074 This work was sponsored by Google.
3077 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3079 This work was sponsored by Google.
3082 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3083 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3085 This work was sponsored by Google.
3088 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3089 and URI types are currently supported.
3091 This work was sponsored by Google.
3094 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3095 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3096 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3097 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3098 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3099 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3100 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3101 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3103 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3104 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3105 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3107 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3108 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3109 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3110 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3112 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3113 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3114 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3115 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3116 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3117 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3118 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3119 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3121 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3123 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3124 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3125 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3127 This work was sponsored by Google.
3130 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3133 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3134 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3135 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3138 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3139 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3142 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3143 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3146 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3147 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3148 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3149 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3150 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3151 content types and variants.
3154 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3157 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3158 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3159 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3160 files from the associated perl scripts.
3163 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3164 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3165 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3167 *) s390x assembler pack.
3170 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3174 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3175 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3176 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3177 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3178 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3179 to use. For example, specify an option
3181 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3183 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3184 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3185 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3186 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3187 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3188 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3190 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3191 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3192 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3193 return non-zero for success.
3195 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3198 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3199 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3203 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3206 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3207 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3208 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3209 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3210 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3211 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3212 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3213 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3214 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3216 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3217 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3218 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3219 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3220 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3221 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3223 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3224 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3225 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3226 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3227 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3228 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3232 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3235 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3237 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3238 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3239 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3242 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3243 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3246 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3247 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3248 with no application modification.
3250 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3251 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3253 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3254 or server extensions to be examined.
3256 This work was sponsored by Google.
3259 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3260 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3261 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3263 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3264 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3265 ciphersuite support.
3266 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3268 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3269 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3270 to output in BER and PEM format.
3273 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3274 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3275 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3276 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3277 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3280 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3281 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3282 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3286 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3287 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3288 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3289 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3290 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3291 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3292 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3293 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3296 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3297 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3298 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3299 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3301 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3302 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3303 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3307 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3308 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3309 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3310 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3311 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3312 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3313 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3314 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3315 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3317 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3318 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3319 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3320 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3321 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3322 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3323 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3324 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3325 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3326 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3327 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3330 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3331 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3332 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3334 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3335 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3339 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3340 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3341 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3344 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3345 it yet and it is largely untested.
3348 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3351 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3352 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3353 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3356 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3359 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3360 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3361 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3362 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3365 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3366 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3367 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3368 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3369 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3372 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3373 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3376 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3377 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3378 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3379 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3382 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3383 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3384 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3385 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3388 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3389 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3392 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3393 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3394 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3395 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3398 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3399 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3400 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3403 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3407 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3408 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3411 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3412 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3413 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3417 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3418 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3419 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3422 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3423 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3424 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3425 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3428 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3429 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3430 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3431 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3432 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3433 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3436 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3437 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3438 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3439 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3440 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3442 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3443 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3444 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3445 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3446 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3449 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3450 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3451 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3452 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3454 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3455 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3456 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3457 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3458 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3464 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3465 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3469 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3470 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3473 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3474 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3477 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3478 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3479 functional reference processing.
3482 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3483 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3487 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3488 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3489 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3492 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3493 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3494 application to support multiple signers.
3497 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3501 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3502 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3503 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3504 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3505 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3508 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3512 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3513 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3514 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3515 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3519 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3520 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3521 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3522 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3523 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3524 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3525 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3526 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3529 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3530 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3531 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3532 between digests and public key types.
3535 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3536 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3537 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3538 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3541 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3542 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3546 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3549 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3553 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3554 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3555 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3556 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3561 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3563 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3565 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3567 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3568 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3569 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3570 functionality for RSA.
3573 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3574 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3575 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3578 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3579 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3582 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3583 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3584 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3587 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3588 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3591 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3592 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3595 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3596 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3600 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3601 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3602 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3606 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3607 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3608 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3609 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3610 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3611 of public and private key structures.
3614 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3615 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3618 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3619 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3620 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3623 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3627 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3628 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3629 SSL_get_psk_identity
3630 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3632 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3634 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3635 and response verification functionality.
3636 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3638 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3639 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3640 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3641 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3642 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3643 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3644 server_name extension.
3646 New functions (subject to change):
3648 SSL_get_servername()
3649 SSL_get_servername_type()
3652 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3654 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3655 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3656 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3657 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3658 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3660 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3662 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3663 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3664 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3665 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3666 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3667 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3670 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3672 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3675 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3676 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3677 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3678 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3679 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3682 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3683 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3687 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3688 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3689 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3690 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3693 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3694 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3695 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3696 using the maximum available value.
3699 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3700 in addition to the text details.
3703 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3704 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3705 handle several customised structures at all.
3708 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3709 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3710 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3713 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3716 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3717 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3718 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3721 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3722 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3723 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3726 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3727 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3731 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3734 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3737 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3739 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3740 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3741 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3742 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3743 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3744 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3745 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3746 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3748 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3749 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3750 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3752 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3754 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3755 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3757 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3758 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3761 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3762 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3763 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3766 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3767 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3768 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3769 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3770 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3771 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3774 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3775 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3776 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3779 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3780 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3781 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3782 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3783 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3784 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3788 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3789 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3792 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3793 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3794 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3797 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3800 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3801 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3802 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3803 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3804 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3805 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3806 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3807 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3808 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3811 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3812 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3813 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3816 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3817 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3820 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3821 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3822 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3823 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3824 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3825 know what you are doing.
3826 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3828 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3829 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3830 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3831 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3832 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3833 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3837 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3838 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3839 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3841 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3843 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3844 warnings in other configurations.
3847 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3848 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3849 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3851 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3853 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3854 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3855 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3857 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3858 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3859 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3860 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3863 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3867 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3868 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3870 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3872 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3873 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3874 other than a simple chain.
3875 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3877 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3878 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3879 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3880 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3883 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3884 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3885 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3886 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3887 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3888 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3889 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3890 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3891 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3893 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3894 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3895 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3896 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3897 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3898 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3900 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3902 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3903 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3906 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3907 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3910 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3912 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3914 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3915 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3916 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3917 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3918 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3922 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3924 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3925 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3926 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3927 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3929 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3930 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3931 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3932 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3934 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3935 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3936 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3939 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3940 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3944 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3945 to handle some structures.
3948 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3950 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3952 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3955 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3958 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3961 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3962 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3966 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3968 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3970 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3972 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3975 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3976 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3977 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3978 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3980 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3981 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3983 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3984 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3987 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3988 s_client and s_server.
3991 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3992 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3994 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3995 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3997 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3998 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3999 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4000 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4001 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4004 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4006 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4007 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4010 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4011 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4014 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4015 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4016 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4017 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4019 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4020 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4022 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4024 *) Various precautionary measures:
4026 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4028 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4029 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4030 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4032 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4033 outside the expected range.
4035 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4038 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4040 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4041 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4042 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4044 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4047 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4050 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4052 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4055 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4056 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4057 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4059 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4062 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4063 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4064 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4068 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4070 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4071 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4072 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4073 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4075 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4076 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4079 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4081 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4082 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4083 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4085 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4087 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4088 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4089 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4090 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4093 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4094 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4095 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4096 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4097 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4098 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4099 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4101 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4103 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4104 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4105 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4106 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4107 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4109 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4110 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4112 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4113 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4114 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4115 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4116 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4118 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4120 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4121 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4122 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4123 sets may exist with different names.
4126 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4127 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4128 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4129 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4130 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4131 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4132 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4133 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4134 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4136 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4138 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4139 implementation in the following ways:
4141 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4144 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4145 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4146 ignored for embedded content.
4148 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4149 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4152 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4153 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4154 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4155 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4157 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4158 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4161 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4162 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4165 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4166 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4167 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4168 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4169 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4170 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4174 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4175 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4176 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4180 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4181 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4182 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4183 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4184 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4185 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4186 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4187 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4189 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4190 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4191 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4192 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4193 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4194 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4195 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4197 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4198 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4199 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4200 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4201 to s_client and s_server.
4204 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4206 *) Fix various bugs:
4207 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4208 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4209 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4210 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4211 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4213 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4215 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4216 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4217 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4218 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4219 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4220 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4221 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4222 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4225 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4226 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4227 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4230 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4231 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4232 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4235 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4236 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4239 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4240 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4241 with no application modification.
4243 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4244 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4246 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4247 or server extensions to be examined.
4249 This work was sponsored by Google.
4252 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4253 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4254 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4255 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4256 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4257 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4258 server_name extension.
4260 New functions (subject to change):
4262 SSL_get_servername()
4263 SSL_get_servername_type()
4266 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4268 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4269 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4270 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4271 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4272 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4274 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4276 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4277 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4278 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4279 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4280 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4281 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4284 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4286 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4289 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4292 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4293 (which previously caused an internal error).
4296 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4299 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4300 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4302 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4303 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4304 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4306 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4307 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4308 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4309 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4311 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4312 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4313 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4314 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4316 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4317 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4318 information. For detailed background information, see
4319 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4320 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4321 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4322 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4323 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4324 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4325 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4326 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4327 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4328 remove a conditional branch.
4330 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4331 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4332 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4333 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4334 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4335 remains as a deprecated alias.
4337 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4338 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4339 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4340 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4342 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4343 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4344 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4345 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4346 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4347 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4348 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4349 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4351 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4353 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4354 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4355 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4356 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4357 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4358 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4359 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4360 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4361 in a different context.
4364 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4365 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4366 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4369 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4370 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4371 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4373 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4375 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4376 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4377 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4378 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4379 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4382 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4383 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4384 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4385 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4386 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4387 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4390 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4391 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4392 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4393 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4394 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4397 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4398 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4400 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4401 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4402 Improve header file function name parsing.
4405 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4406 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4409 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4411 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4412 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4413 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4415 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4416 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4418 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4419 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4421 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4422 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4423 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4425 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4426 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4427 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4428 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4429 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4430 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4431 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4432 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4433 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4435 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4436 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4437 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4438 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4439 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4441 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4442 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4443 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4444 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4445 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4446 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4447 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4448 multiple values to extend the available space.
4452 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4454 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4455 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4457 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4460 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4461 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4462 undesirable limitations.
4463 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4465 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4466 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4467 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4468 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4469 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4470 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4471 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4474 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4476 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4477 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4478 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4480 The latter two were purportedly from
4481 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4484 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4485 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4486 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4489 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4490 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4493 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4494 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4495 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4496 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4498 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4499 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4500 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4503 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4504 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4505 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4506 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4507 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4508 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4511 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4513 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4514 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4517 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4518 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4520 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4521 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4522 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4523 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4526 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4527 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4530 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4531 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4532 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4533 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4534 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4535 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4536 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4540 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4541 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4542 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4543 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4546 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4547 under VC++ build system.
4550 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4551 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4554 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4556 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4557 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4558 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4559 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4560 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4562 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4563 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4564 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4566 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4569 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4570 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4573 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4574 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4576 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4579 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4580 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4582 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4583 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4586 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4587 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4591 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4593 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4596 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4599 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4600 key into the same file any more.
4603 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4606 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4607 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4609 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4610 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4613 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4614 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4615 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4616 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4617 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4618 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4620 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4621 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4622 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4625 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4626 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4627 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4628 - add new function for parameter creation
4629 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4630 BN_BLINDING parameters
4631 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4632 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4633 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4637 *) Add support for DTLS.
4638 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4640 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4641 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4644 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4645 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4648 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4649 the apps/openssl applications.
4652 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4653 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4654 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4657 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4658 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4660 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4661 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4663 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4664 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4665 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4666 avoid this algorithm.)
4670 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4671 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4672 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4675 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4676 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4679 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4680 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4681 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4684 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4686 The blank line is mandatory.
4690 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4691 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4695 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4696 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4698 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4699 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4700 to support policy checking and print out.
4703 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4704 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4705 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4706 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4708 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4711 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4712 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4714 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4715 implementation contributed by IBM.
4716 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4718 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4719 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4720 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4721 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4723 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4724 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4726 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4727 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4728 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4729 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4730 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4731 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4734 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4735 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4736 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4737 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4738 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4739 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4740 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4743 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4746 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4747 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4748 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4749 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4750 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4751 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4752 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4753 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4756 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4757 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4758 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4759 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4762 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4765 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4768 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4769 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4770 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4771 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4772 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4773 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4774 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4777 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4778 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4781 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4782 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4783 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4786 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4787 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4788 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4792 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4793 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4796 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4797 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4798 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4799 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4802 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4803 initialised value as BN_new().
4804 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4806 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4809 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4810 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4811 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4812 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4813 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4814 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4815 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4816 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4817 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4818 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4819 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4820 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4821 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4822 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4823 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4825 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4826 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4827 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4828 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4831 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4832 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4833 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4834 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4835 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4836 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4837 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4838 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4839 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4842 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4843 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4844 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4845 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4846 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4847 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4848 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4851 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4852 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4853 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4854 these have been updated also.
4857 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4858 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4859 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4860 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4861 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4865 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4866 structure of type "other".
4869 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4870 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4871 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4872 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4873 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4874 situation in the script.
4875 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4877 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4878 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4879 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4880 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4881 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4882 used as premaster secret.
4883 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4885 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4886 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4887 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4889 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4890 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4892 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4893 control of the error stack.
4896 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4899 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4900 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4901 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4902 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4905 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4906 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4907 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4910 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4911 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4912 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4916 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4917 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4918 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4919 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4922 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4923 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4924 the following flags are defined:
4926 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4927 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4928 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4931 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4932 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4933 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4934 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4938 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4939 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4940 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4941 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4942 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4945 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4946 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4947 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4950 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4951 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4952 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4953 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4954 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4955 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4958 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4962 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4965 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4968 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4971 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4972 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4973 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4974 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4975 default implementation more easily.
4978 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4982 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4983 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4986 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4987 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4988 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4989 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4991 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4992 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4993 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4994 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4997 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4998 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5002 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5003 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5004 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5005 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5006 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5007 scalar * generator).
5008 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5010 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5011 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5012 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5016 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5017 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5018 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5019 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5020 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5021 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5022 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5023 linker additions, eg;
5024 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5027 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5028 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5029 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5032 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5033 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5034 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5038 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5039 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5040 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5041 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5044 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5045 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5046 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5047 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5048 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5049 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5050 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5051 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5052 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5053 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5055 Example for using the new callback interface:
5057 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5061 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5063 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5064 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5065 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5066 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5067 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5068 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5073 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5074 available to TLS with the number defined in
5075 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5078 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5079 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5081 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5082 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5083 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5084 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5086 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5087 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5089 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5090 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5094 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5095 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5098 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5099 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5100 and a macro that behave like
5101 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5103 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5106 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5107 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5108 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5110 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5112 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5115 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5116 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5117 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5118 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5120 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5121 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5122 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5123 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5124 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5125 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5126 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5127 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5129 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5130 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5133 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5134 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5136 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5137 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5138 files while avoiding the low level API.
5140 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5141 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5142 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5143 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5145 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5146 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5147 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5148 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5149 instead of the low level API.
5152 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5153 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5154 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5155 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5156 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5159 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5160 down to the template encoder.
5163 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5164 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5167 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5168 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5169 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5170 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5172 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5173 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5175 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5176 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5178 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5179 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5182 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5183 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5184 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5187 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5188 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5190 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5191 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5193 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5194 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5197 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5201 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5202 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5203 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5204 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5205 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5206 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5208 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5209 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5212 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5213 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5214 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5215 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5216 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5217 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5218 various internal method names.)
5220 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5221 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5223 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5224 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5226 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5227 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5229 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5230 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5231 methods are undefined.
5233 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5234 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5236 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5237 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5238 length of the modulus.
5240 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5241 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5243 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5244 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5246 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5247 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5249 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5250 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5251 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5254 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5255 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5256 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5257 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5259 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5260 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5261 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5262 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5264 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5265 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5267 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5268 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5269 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5270 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5271 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5273 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5274 This applies to the following functions:
5279 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5280 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5282 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5283 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5287 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5292 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5294 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5295 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5296 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5297 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5298 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5300 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5301 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5303 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5304 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5305 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5307 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5308 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5310 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5311 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5312 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5313 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5314 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5316 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5318 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5319 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5320 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5321 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5322 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5323 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5324 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5325 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5326 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5327 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5328 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5329 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5331 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5334 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5335 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5336 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5337 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5339 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5340 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5341 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5342 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5347 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5348 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5349 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5350 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5351 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5353 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5354 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5355 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5356 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5357 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5358 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5359 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5360 adding different types of curves.
5361 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5363 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5364 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5365 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5368 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5369 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5371 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5372 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5373 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5374 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5376 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5378 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5379 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5381 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5382 library. Most notably,
5383 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5384 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5385 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5386 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5387 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5388 extracted before the specific public key;
5389 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5390 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5392 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5393 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5395 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5396 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5397 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5398 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5400 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5401 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5402 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5404 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5405 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5406 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5407 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5408 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5409 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5413 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5415 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5417 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5419 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5420 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5421 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5424 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5425 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5426 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5429 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5432 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5433 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5436 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5437 run algorithm test programs.
5440 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5443 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5444 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5445 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5446 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5447 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5450 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5451 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5454 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5456 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5457 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5458 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5460 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5461 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5463 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5464 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5466 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5467 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5468 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5470 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5471 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5472 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5473 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5474 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5475 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5476 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5479 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5481 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5482 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5484 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5485 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5486 undesirable limitations.
5487 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5489 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5491 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5492 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5493 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5495 The latter two were purportedly from
5496 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5499 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5500 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5501 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5504 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5505 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5508 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5510 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5511 module in FIPS mode.
5514 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5517 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5518 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5519 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5520 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5523 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5525 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5526 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5527 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5528 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5529 the difference induced by this change.
5532 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5534 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5535 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5536 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5537 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5538 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5540 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5541 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5542 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5544 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5545 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5548 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5549 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5550 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5551 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5555 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5556 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5557 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5558 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5559 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5561 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5562 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5563 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5564 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5565 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5566 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5568 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5570 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5571 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5572 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5573 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5574 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5577 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5581 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5582 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5583 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5586 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5587 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5588 structures constant.
5591 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5593 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5596 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5597 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5598 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5599 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5600 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5601 some needed definitions.
5604 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5607 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5608 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5609 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5610 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5613 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5615 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5616 server and client random values. Previously
5617 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5618 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5620 This change has negligible security impact because:
5622 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5625 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5628 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5629 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5632 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5635 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5637 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5640 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5641 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5642 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5644 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5647 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5648 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5651 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5652 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5653 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5655 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5658 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5659 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5660 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5664 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5665 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5666 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5667 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5669 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5670 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5671 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5672 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5676 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5678 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5679 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5680 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5681 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5682 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5685 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5688 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5689 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5691 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5692 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5693 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5694 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5695 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5696 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5697 rather than being initialized to 1.
5700 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5702 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5703 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5704 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5706 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5708 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5710 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5711 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5712 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5713 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5714 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5715 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5718 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5719 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5720 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5721 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5722 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5726 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5727 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5728 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5729 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5730 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5733 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5734 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5735 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5739 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5740 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5742 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5745 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5747 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5749 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5750 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5752 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5754 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5755 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5759 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5760 exiting on the first error in a request.
5763 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5764 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5768 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5769 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5770 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5771 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5773 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5774 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5777 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5778 blocks during encryption.
5781 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5782 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5783 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5784 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5788 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5789 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5790 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5791 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5792 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5796 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5798 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5799 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5800 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5801 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5804 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5805 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5806 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5807 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5808 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5810 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5811 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5812 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5813 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5814 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5815 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5816 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5817 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5818 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5821 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5822 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5823 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5824 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5827 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5828 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5831 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5833 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5834 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5835 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5836 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5837 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5839 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5840 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5841 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5843 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5844 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5845 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5846 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5847 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5849 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5850 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5851 used by default when no-err is given.
5854 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5855 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5857 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5858 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5859 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5860 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5861 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5863 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5864 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5865 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5866 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5868 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5870 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5872 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5874 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5875 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5876 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5877 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5881 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5882 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5884 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5885 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5888 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5889 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5890 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5891 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5894 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5895 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5896 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5897 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5898 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5899 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5900 followup to PR #377.
5903 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5904 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5907 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5908 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5909 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5910 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5912 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5914 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5917 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5918 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5919 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5920 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5922 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5926 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5927 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5931 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5932 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5933 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5934 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5935 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5936 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5938 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5939 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5940 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5941 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5942 have to be made anyway).
5945 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5946 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5947 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5950 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5951 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5952 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5955 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5956 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5957 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5959 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5960 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5961 edit numbers of the version.
5962 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5964 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5965 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5966 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5968 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5969 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5971 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5972 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5973 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5975 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5976 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5978 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5979 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5981 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5982 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5984 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5985 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5987 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5989 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5991 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5992 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5993 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5995 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5996 representations in a platform independent manner.
5997 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5999 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6000 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6001 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6003 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6005 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6007 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6008 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6010 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6012 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6014 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6015 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6016 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6018 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6020 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6022 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6023 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6025 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6026 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6028 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6029 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6031 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6032 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6034 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6036 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6038 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6039 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6041 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6042 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6044 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6045 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6047 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6049 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6050 the 0.9.6 release series:
6052 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6053 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6055 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6057 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6060 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6061 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6063 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6064 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6066 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6067 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6068 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6069 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6071 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6072 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6073 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6075 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6076 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6077 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6078 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6080 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6081 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6082 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6085 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6086 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6087 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6088 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6089 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6090 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6091 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6092 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6095 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6096 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6097 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6100 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6101 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6102 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6103 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6104 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6106 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6107 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6109 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6110 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6113 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6114 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6115 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6116 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6117 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6118 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6121 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6122 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6123 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6126 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6127 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6130 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6131 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6132 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6133 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6134 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6135 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6136 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6139 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6140 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6141 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6142 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6143 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6144 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6147 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6148 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6149 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6150 declaration has been changed from
6153 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6154 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6155 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6156 has been changed into
6157 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6159 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6160 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6161 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6163 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6164 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6166 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6167 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6168 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6169 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6170 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6171 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6172 always load it have also been added.
6175 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6176 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6177 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6179 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6181 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6182 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6183 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6185 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6186 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6187 command line option can be used to specify an
6191 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6192 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6195 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6196 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6197 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6200 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6201 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6202 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6203 to work with the new engine framework.
6204 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6206 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6207 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6208 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6209 to work with the new engine framework.
6212 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6213 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6214 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6216 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6217 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6219 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6220 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6221 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6222 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6224 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6226 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6227 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6229 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6230 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6232 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6233 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6234 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6237 *) Add new functions
6239 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6240 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6241 These are similar to
6244 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6245 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6246 still in the error queue.
6247 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6249 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6251 default_algorithms = ALL
6252 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6255 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6258 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6261 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6262 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6263 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6264 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6266 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6267 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6269 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6270 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6272 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6273 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6276 *) New functions/macros
6278 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6279 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6280 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6281 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6283 to request calling a callback function
6285 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6286 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6288 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6289 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6290 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6291 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6292 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6293 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6294 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6295 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6296 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6297 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6299 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6300 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6303 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6304 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6305 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6306 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6307 the configuration scripts.
6309 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6310 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6311 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6313 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6314 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6316 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6317 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6318 when reusing an existing buffer.
6321 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6322 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6325 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6326 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6329 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6330 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6331 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6332 has the same effect.
6333 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6335 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6336 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6337 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6338 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6339 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6340 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6343 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6344 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6345 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6346 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6348 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6349 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6350 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6351 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6353 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6354 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6357 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6358 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6359 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6360 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6361 default), and then completely removed.
6364 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6365 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6366 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6367 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6368 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6369 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6370 particular extension is supported.
6373 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6374 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6377 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6378 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6379 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6380 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6381 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6382 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6383 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6384 requires the destination to be valid.
6386 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6387 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6390 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6391 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6392 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6395 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6396 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6398 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6399 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6400 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6401 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6402 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6403 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6404 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6405 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6406 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6407 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6408 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6409 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6410 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6411 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6412 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6413 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6414 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6415 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6416 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6420 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6423 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6424 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6425 become part of libeay.num as well.
6428 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6429 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6430 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6431 false once a handshake has been completed.
6432 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6433 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6434 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6435 client has followed the request.)
6438 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6439 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6440 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6441 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6443 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6444 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6445 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6448 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6451 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6452 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6453 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6456 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6457 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6460 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6461 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6462 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6463 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6466 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6467 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6468 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6469 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6470 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6471 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6474 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6475 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6476 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6477 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6478 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6479 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6480 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6481 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6484 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6485 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6488 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6491 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6492 md_data void pointer.
6495 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6496 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6497 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6498 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6499 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6500 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6503 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6504 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6505 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6506 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6507 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6508 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6509 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6510 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6511 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6512 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6513 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6514 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6515 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6516 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6517 rather than letting it slide.
6519 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6520 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6521 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6524 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6525 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6526 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6527 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6528 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6529 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6530 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6531 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6532 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6535 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6536 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6537 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6538 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6539 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6541 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6544 *) Add EVP test program.
6547 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6550 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6551 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6552 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6553 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6554 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6557 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6558 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6559 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6560 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6561 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6562 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6563 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6565 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6566 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6567 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6572 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6573 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6574 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6575 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6576 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6580 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6581 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6582 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6583 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6586 des_key_schedule ks;
6588 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6589 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6591 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6594 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6595 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6596 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6597 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6598 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6599 functions prevents this.
6602 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6605 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6606 correct _ecb suffix.
6609 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6610 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6611 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6612 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6613 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6616 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6619 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6620 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6621 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6622 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6624 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6625 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6627 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

6629 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6630 via Richard Levitte]
6632 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6633 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6634 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6635 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6638 *) Speed up EVP routines.

6656 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6657 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6659 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6660 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6661 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6662 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6663 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6664 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6667 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6668 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6671 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6672 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6673 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6674 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6676 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6677 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6678 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6679 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6680 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6681 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6685 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6686 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6687 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6688 and interrupts/cancellations.
6691 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6692 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6695 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6696 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6697 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6699 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6700 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6704 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6705 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6706 than this minimum value is recommended.
6709 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6710 that are easily reachable.
6713 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6714 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6716 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6718 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6719 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6720 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6721 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6724 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6725 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6726 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6729 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6730 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6731 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6732 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6733 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6734 internally such as S/MIME.
6736 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6737 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6738 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6740 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6744 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6745 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6746 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6747 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6749 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6751 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6753 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6754 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6755 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6759 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6760 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6761 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6762 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6763 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6764 a window system and the like.
6767 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6768 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6771 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6772 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6773 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6774 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6775 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6776 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6777 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6778 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6779 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6783 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6784 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6788 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6789 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6790 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6791 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6792 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6793 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6794 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6795 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6798 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6799 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6800 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6801 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6802 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6803 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6804 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6805 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6806 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6807 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6808 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6809 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6810 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6811 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6812 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6813 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6814 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6817 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6818 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6819 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6820 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6821 internal engine_int.h header.
6824 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6825 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6826 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6827 modify their own ones).
6830 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6831 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6832 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6833 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6834 later on via ctrl() commands.
6835 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6836 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6837 structural references.
6838 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6839 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6840 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6841 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6842 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6843 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6844 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6845 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6846 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6847 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6848 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6849 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6852 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6853 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6854 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6855 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6856 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6857 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6858 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6859 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6862 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6863 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6866 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6867 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6870 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6871 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6872 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6873 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6874 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6875 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6876 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6879 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6880 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6881 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6882 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6883 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6885 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6886 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6890 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6892 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6893 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6894 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6896 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6897 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6899 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6900 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6901 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6903 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6904 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6906 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6907 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6909 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6911 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6912 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6913 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6916 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6917 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6920 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6921 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6922 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6923 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6924 is 40 of more characters long.
6927 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6928 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6932 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6933 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6936 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6937 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6941 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6943 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6944 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6947 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6949 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6950 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6951 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6953 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6954 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6956 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6959 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6963 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6964 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6965 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6966 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6968 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6970 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6971 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6973 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6974 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6975 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6976 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6977 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6978 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6980 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6981 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6983 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6984 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6986 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6987 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6989 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6990 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6991 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6992 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6994 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6995 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6997 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6998 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7000 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7001 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7002 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7003 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7004 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7007 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7008 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7009 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7010 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7013 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7014 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7015 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7019 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7020 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7021 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7022 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7023 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7024 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7025 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7026 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7030 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7031 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7034 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7035 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7036 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7037 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7040 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7041 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7042 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7043 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7044 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7045 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7046 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7047 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7048 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7049 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7052 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7053 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7054 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7055 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7056 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7057 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7058 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7059 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7061 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7062 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7063 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7064 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7067 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7068 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7069 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7070 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7072 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7073 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7074 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7075 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7076 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7080 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7081 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7082 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7083 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7087 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7088 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7089 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7092 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7093 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7094 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7095 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7096 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7099 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7102 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7103 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7104 option to ocsp utility.
7107 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7108 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7109 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7110 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7111 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7112 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7113 the request is nonce-less.
7116 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7117 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7118 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7121 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7122 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7123 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7126 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7127 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7128 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7129 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7130 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7133 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7134 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7138 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7139 additional certificates supplied.
7142 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7143 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7147 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7148 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7151 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7152 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7153 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7154 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7155 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7156 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7157 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7158 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7159 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7161 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7162 request to response.
7165 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7166 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7167 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7168 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7169 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7170 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7171 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7172 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7173 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7174 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7175 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7178 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7179 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7180 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7181 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7184 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7185 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7187 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7188 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7189 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7192 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7193 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7194 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7195 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7196 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7198 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7199 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7200 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7203 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7204 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7205 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7206 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7207 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7208 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7209 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7210 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7212 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7213 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7214 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7215 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7216 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7217 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7220 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7221 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7222 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7223 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7224 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7225 printout format cleaned up.
7228 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7229 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7230 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7231 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7232 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7233 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7234 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7235 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7238 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7239 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7240 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7241 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7242 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7243 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7244 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7245 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7248 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7249 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7250 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7251 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7253 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7255 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7256 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7257 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7258 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7261 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7262 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7263 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7264 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7266 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7268 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7269 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7270 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7271 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7273 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7274 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7276 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7277 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7278 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7281 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7282 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7283 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7286 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7287 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7288 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7289 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7290 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7291 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7292 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7293 functions are provided:
7295 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7296 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7297 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7298 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7300 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7301 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7302 extended allocation function is enabled.
7303 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7304 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7305 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7307 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7308 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7309 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7310 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7311 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7314 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7315 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7316 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7318 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7319 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7320 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7323 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7324 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7325 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7326 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7327 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7328 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7329 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7330 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7331 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7334 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7335 provide utility functions which an application needing
7336 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7337 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7338 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7340 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7341 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7342 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7343 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7344 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7345 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7346 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7347 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7348 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7350 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7351 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7352 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7353 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7356 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7357 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7358 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7359 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7360 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7361 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7362 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7363 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7364 will be added elsewhere.
7367 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7368 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7369 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7370 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7373 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7374 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7375 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7376 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7377 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7378 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7379 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7380 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7381 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7382 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7383 to produce the required SET OF.
7386 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7387 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7388 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7391 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7392 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7393 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7394 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7395 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7396 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7399 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7400 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7401 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7404 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7405 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7406 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7409 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7410 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7411 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7412 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7413 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7416 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7417 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7420 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7421 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7422 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7423 certificates and CRLs.
7426 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7427 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7428 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7431 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7432 entries for variables.
7435 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7436 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7437 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7438 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7441 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7442 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7443 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7444 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7445 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7446 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7449 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7450 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7452 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7453 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7454 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7457 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7461 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7462 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7463 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7464 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7465 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7466 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7469 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7472 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7473 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7474 for now but they will eventually go away.
7477 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7478 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7479 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7480 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7481 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7482 has also been converted to the new form.
7485 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7486 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7487 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7488 for negative moduli.
7491 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7492 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7495 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7499 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7500 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7501 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7502 type-specific callbacks.
7505 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7507 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7508 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7510 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7511 in sections depending on the subject.
7514 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7518 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7519 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7520 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7521 be handled deterministically).
7522 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7524 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7525 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7526 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7529 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7532 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7533 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7534 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7535 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7536 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7539 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7540 sign of the number in question.
7542 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7544 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7545 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7546 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7547 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7548 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7551 *) New function BN_swap.
7554 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7555 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7556 results on negative inputs.
7559 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7560 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7561 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7564 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7565 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7566 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7567 and add new functions:
7576 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7580 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7582 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7583 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7585 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7586 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7587 be reduced modulo m.
7588 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7591 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7592 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7593 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7595 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7596 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7597 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7598 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7599 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7600 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7605 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7606 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7607 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7608 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7609 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7611 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7612 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7613 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7617 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7620 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7621 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7624 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7625 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7626 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7627 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7631 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7634 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7637 *) Add the following functions:
7639 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7641 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7643 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7645 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7646 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7647 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7648 libraries unless it's really needed.
7650 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7651 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7652 declarations (they differed!).
7655 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7658 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7661 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7664 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7665 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7668 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7669 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7670 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7672 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7673 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7676 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7679 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7682 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7685 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7686 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7687 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7689 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7690 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7691 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7692 different shared library filenames on each system.
7695 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7698 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7699 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7700 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7702 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7705 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7706 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7707 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7708 binary backward compatibility.
7709 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7710 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7711 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7715 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7716 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7717 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7718 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7722 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7725 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7726 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7727 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7728 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7732 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7735 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7737 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7738 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7739 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7741 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7743 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7745 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7746 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7749 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7751 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7753 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7754 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7756 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7757 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7761 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7762 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7766 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7767 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7768 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7769 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7771 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7772 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7775 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7777 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7778 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7779 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7780 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7783 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7784 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7785 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7786 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7787 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7789 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7790 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7791 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7792 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7793 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7794 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7795 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7796 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7797 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7800 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7802 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7803 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7804 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7805 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7806 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7808 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7809 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7810 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7812 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7814 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7815 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7816 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7817 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7818 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7819 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7822 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7823 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7824 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7825 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7826 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7829 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7830 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7831 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7833 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7834 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7835 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7839 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7840 being properly terminated.
7843 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7844 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7845 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7846 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7848 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7849 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7850 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7851 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7852 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7853 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7854 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7856 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7858 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7859 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7862 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7863 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7864 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),

7869 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7871 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7872 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7873 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7874 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7875 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7877 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7878 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7881 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7883 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7884 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7885 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7887 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]

7890 and get fix the header length calculation.
7891 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7892 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7895 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7896 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7897 assertions could call abort()).
7898 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7900 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7902 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7903 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7904 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7906 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7908 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7909 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7910 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7913 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7917 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7918 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7919 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7921 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7922 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7923 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7924 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7925 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7929 *) Changes in security patch:
7931 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7932 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7933 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7936 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7937 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7938 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7939 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)

7942 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to

7954 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7955 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7956 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7958 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7960 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7961 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7962 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7964 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7965 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7967 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7968 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
7969 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7970 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7971 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7972 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7975 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7976 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7977 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7978 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7981 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7984 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7985 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7986 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7987 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7988 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7989 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7991 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7992 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7993 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7994 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7995 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7998 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7999 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8000 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8001 BN_generate_prime().)
8003 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8004 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8005 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8009 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8010 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8013 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8014 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8015 when using non-blocking I/O.
8016 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8018 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8019 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8021 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8022 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8025 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8026 configuration for the versions before that.
8027 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8029 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8030 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8031 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8032 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8035 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8036 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8037 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.

8048 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8049 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8051 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8052 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8053 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8054 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8055 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8056 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8057 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8060 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8061 using a local variable.
8062 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]

8065 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.

8071 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8072 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8074 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8075 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8076 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8078 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8080 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8081 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8082 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8083 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8086 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8090 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8091 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8092 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8093 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8094 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8096 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8097 returns early because it has nothing to do.

8100 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]

8105 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8106 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8107 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8109 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'

8111 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8113 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8115 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8116 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8118 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8120 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8121 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8122 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8123 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8125 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8126 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8127 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8128 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8130 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8131 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8133 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8134 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8135 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8138 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8139 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8140 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8142 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8144 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8145 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8146 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8147 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8148 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8149 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8150 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8153 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8154 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8155 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8156 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8158 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8159 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8160 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8161 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8162 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8163 the client will at least see that alert.
8166 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8170 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8171 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8172 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8174 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8175 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8176 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8177 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8180 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8181 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8182 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8184 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8185 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8186 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8187 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8188 may leak via logfiles.)
8190 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8191 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8192 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8193 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8197 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8198 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8201 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8202 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8203 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8204 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8205 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8208 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8209 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8211 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8212 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8213 followed by modular reduction.
8214 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8216 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8217 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8220 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8221 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8222 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8223 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8226 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8229 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8230 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8233 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8234 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8235 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8236 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8237 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8238 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8240 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8242 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8243 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8244 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8245 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8246 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8248 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8251 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8252 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8253 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8254 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8255 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8256 to allow the necessary settings.
8259 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8260 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8261 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8262 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8265 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8266 dh->length and always used
8268 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8270 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8271 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8272 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8273 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8274 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8279 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8281 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8287 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8288 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8289 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8290 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8292 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8293 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8294 always reject numbers >= n.
8297 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8298 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8299 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8300 variable) is not atomic.
8303 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8304 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8305 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8306 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8308 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8309 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8311 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8313 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8315 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8318 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8320 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8321 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8322 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8323 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8324 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8325 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8326 to traverse all of 'state'.
8328 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8329 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8330 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8332 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8333 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8335 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8336 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8337 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8338 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8339 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8340 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8341 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8342 further strengthens the PRNG.
8345 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8348 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8349 an error message in this case.
8352 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8355 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8356 positive and less than q.
8359 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8360 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8362 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8364 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8365 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8369 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8371 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8372 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8373 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8374 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8375 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8376 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8377 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8380 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8381 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8382 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8383 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8385 Both problems are now fixed.
8388 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8389 (previously it was 1024).
8392 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8393 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8396 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8399 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8400 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8401 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8404 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8405 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8406 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8407 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8408 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8409 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8410 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8411 environment variables.
8413 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8414 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8415 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8418 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8419 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8420 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8421 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8422 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8423 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8426 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8430 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8432 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8433 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8435 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8436 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8437 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8438 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8442 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8443 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8444 amount of data available.
8445 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8446 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8448 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8449 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8450 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8451 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8454 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8455 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8459 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8460 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8461 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8462 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8465 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8468 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8471 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8472 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8474 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8476 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8477 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8478 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8479 (but broken) behaviour.
8482 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8484 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8486 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8487 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8490 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8494 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8495 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8497 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8500 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8501 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8502 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8504 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8505 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8506 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8509 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8510 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8513 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8514 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8516 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8518 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8520 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8521 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8522 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8523 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8526 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8529 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8530 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8531 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8533 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8536 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8538 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8539 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8540 but the code is actually correct.
8543 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8544 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8545 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8546 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8547 and leaves the highest bit random.
8548 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8550 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8551 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8552 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8553 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8554 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8555 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8556 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8559 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8562 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8563 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8566 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8567 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8568 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8569 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8573 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8574 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8575 and break the signature.
8577 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8579 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8583 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8584 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8585 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8586 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8587 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8590 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8591 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8593 *) ./config script fixes.
8594 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8596 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8599 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8600 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8601 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8602 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8603 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8605 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8606 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8609 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8610 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8613 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8614 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8615 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8616 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8618 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8619 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8621 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8622 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8623 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8624 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8625 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8627 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8630 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8633 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8636 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8639 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8640 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8643 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8644 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8645 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8646 result of the server certificate verification.)
8649 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8650 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8651 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8655 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8656 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8657 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8658 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8659 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8660 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8661 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8662 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8665 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8666 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8667 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8668 happening the other way round.
8671 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8672 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8675 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8676 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8677 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8678 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8681 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8682 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8684 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8686 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8687 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8688 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8691 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8693 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8695 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8699 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8701 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8702 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8703 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8704 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8705 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8707 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8708 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8712 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8715 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8717 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8718 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8719 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8720 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8721 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8722 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8723 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8724 by the Finished messages.
8727 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8728 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8730 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8731 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8732 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8733 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8734 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8738 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8739 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8740 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8741 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8742 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8743 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8744 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8745 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8746 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8750 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8751 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8752 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8753 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8755 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8756 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8757 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8758 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8759 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8762 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8763 been tested well enough.
8766 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8767 it can return incorrect results.
8768 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8769 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8772 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8773 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8774 include zero length content when signing messages.
8777 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8778 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8781 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8784 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8788 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8789 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8790 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8791 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8792 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8793 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8796 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8797 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8799 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8800 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8802 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8803 random number < q in the DSA library.
8806 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8807 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8808 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8809 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8810 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8811 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8812 just makes things more complicated.)
8815 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8819 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8820 work better on such systems.
8821 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8823 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8824 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8825 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8828 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8829 if there was more than one signature.
8830 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8832 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8833 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8834 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8835 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8838 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8839 rather than always using the current time.
8842 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8843 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8844 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8845 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8846 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8847 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8849 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8850 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8852 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8854 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8855 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8856 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8857 the same hash value.
8859 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8860 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8861 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8862 with X509_STORE internally.
8864 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8865 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8867 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8868 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8869 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8870 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8871 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8872 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8873 entirely (maybe later...).
8875 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8877 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8878 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8879 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8880 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8881 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8882 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8883 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8884 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8886 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8887 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8889 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8890 to customise the verify behaviour.
8893 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8894 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8897 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8898 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
8899 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8900 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8901 request is improperly encoded.
8904 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8905 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8908 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8909 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8911 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8912 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8916 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8917 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8918 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8921 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8922 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8923 BIO/fp routines also added.
8926 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8927 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8929 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8930 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8931 demos/state_machine.
8934 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8935 generation and verification.
8938 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8939 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8940 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8941 encode and decode it manually.
8944 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8946 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8948 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8949 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8950 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8951 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8953 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8954 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8955 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8956 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8957 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8960 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8963 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8964 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8965 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8967 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8968 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8969 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8970 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8971 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8972 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8973 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8974 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8976 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8977 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8979 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8981 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8982 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8983 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8987 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8988 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8989 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8990 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8994 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8996 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8999 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9000 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9001 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9002 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9003 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9004 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9005 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9006 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9007 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9008 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9009 short or long names are found.
9012 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9013 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9015 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9016 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9017 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9018 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9020 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9021 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9022 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9023 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9026 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9027 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9028 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9031 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9032 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9033 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9034 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9035 to allow the various flags to be set.
9038 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9039 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9040 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9041 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9042 dates to be checked.
9045 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9046 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9047 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9050 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9051 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9052 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9055 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9056 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9059 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9060 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9061 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9062 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9063 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9064 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9067 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9068 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9072 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9076 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9077 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9078 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9079 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9080 form signing output easier to verify.
9083 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9086 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9087 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9088 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9089 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9090 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9091 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9092 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9093 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9094 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9095 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9098 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9100 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9101 the syntax given in objects.README.
9102 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9104 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9107 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9108 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9109 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9110 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9111 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9112 consistent name changes.
9115 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9118 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9119 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9120 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9121 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9124 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9125 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9126 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9130 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9131 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9132 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9133 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9136 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9137 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9138 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9139 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9140 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9141 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9142 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9143 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9144 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9145 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9146 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9149 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9150 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9151 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9152 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9153 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9154 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9155 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9156 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9157 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9158 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9161 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9162 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9163 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9164 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9166 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9167 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9168 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9169 omit any duplicate addresses.
9172 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9173 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9176 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9177 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9178 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9179 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9180 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9183 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9185 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9186 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9187 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9188 Free => OPENSSL_free
9191 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9192 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9195 *) CygWin32 support.
9196 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9198 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9199 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9200 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9201 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9202 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9206 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9207 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9208 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9209 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9210 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9211 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9212 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9215 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9216 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9217 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9218 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9219 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9220 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9221 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9222 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9223 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9224 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9225 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9228 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9229 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9230 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9231 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9232 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9234 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9235 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9236 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9237 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9238 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9240 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9243 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9244 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9245 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9246 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9248 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9250 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9253 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9254 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9255 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9258 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9259 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9260 any installed hardware versions can.
9263 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9264 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9265 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9269 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9270 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9271 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9272 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9273 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9275 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9276 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9279 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9280 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9283 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9284 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9285 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9289 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9292 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9293 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9294 but no ssl client purpose.
9295 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9297 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9298 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9299 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9300 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9301 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9302 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9303 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9304 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9305 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9306 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9307 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9310 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9311 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9312 be obtained from the error queue.
9315 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9316 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9317 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9318 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9321 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9324 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9325 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9326 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9327 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9328 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9331 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9332 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9333 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9334 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9335 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9338 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9339 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9340 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9342 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9344 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9345 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9346 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9347 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9348 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9349 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9350 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9351 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9352 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9353 or "the configuration storage API"...
9355 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9357 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9358 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9360 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9362 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9364 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9365 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9366 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9367 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9368 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9369 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9370 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9372 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9373 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9376 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9377 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9378 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9379 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9382 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9383 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9384 them in a portable way.
9385 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9387 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9389 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9391 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9392 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9394 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9395 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9396 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9399 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9400 was larger than the MD block size.
9401 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9403 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9404 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9405 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9406 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9410 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9411 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9412 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9414 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9416 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9418 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9419 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9420 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9421 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9422 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9423 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9425 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9426 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9428 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9429 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9432 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9435 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9436 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9438 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9439 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9440 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9441 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9444 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9445 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9446 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9447 does not suppress any output.
9450 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9451 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9452 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9453 with all the associated security issues.
9455 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9456 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9457 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9458 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9459 use the value in the default purpose.
9462 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9463 and fix a memory leak.
9466 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9467 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9468 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9469 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9472 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9473 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9474 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9475 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9478 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9479 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9480 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9483 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9484 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9487 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9488 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9492 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9493 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9496 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9497 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9498 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9501 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9502 number generation fails.
9505 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9508 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9509 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9511 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9514 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9515 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9517 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9518 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9520 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9522 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9523 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9526 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9527 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9529 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9530 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9533 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9534 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9535 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9536 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9537 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9538 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9540 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9541 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9542 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9546 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9547 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9548 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9549 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9550 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9551 counter, some don't.)
9552 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9553 counters or duplicate objects.
9556 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9557 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9560 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9561 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9562 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9564 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9565 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9566 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9570 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9571 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9574 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9575 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9576 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9580 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9581 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9582 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9585 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9586 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9587 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9588 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9589 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9590 should work without changes.
9593 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9594 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9595 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9596 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9597 must be defined. E.g.,
9598 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9599 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9600 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9601 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9603 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9607 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9608 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9609 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9612 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9613 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9614 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9615 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9618 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9619 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9620 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9621 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9622 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9623 is prompted for as usual.
9626 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9627 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9628 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9629 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9631 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9632 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9633 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9634 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9637 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9640 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9644 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9647 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9650 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9654 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9657 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9660 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9661 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9664 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9665 options to produce them.
9668 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9669 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9672 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9676 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9677 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9678 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9679 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9680 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9681 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9682 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9685 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9688 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9689 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9690 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9693 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9694 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9696 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9697 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9700 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9701 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9702 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9706 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9707 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9709 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9710 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9711 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9712 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9713 generation becomes much faster.
9715 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9716 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9717 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9718 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9719 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9720 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9721 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9722 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9723 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9724 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9727 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9728 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9729 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9730 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9731 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9732 trial division stage.
9735 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9739 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9742 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9745 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9746 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9747 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9751 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9752 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9753 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9756 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9757 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9758 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9759 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9761 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9762 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9765 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9768 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9769 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9770 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9771 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9774 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9775 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9776 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9779 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9780 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9781 (instead of parameters) in future.
9784 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9785 when a new cipher list is set.
9788 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9789 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9792 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9793 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9794 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9796 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9797 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9798 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9799 an error is flagged.
9801 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9802 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9803 the readability was also increased :-)
9804 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9806 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9807 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9808 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9809 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9813 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9814 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9817 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9818 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9819 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9820 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9823 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9824 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9825 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9826 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9827 because they handle more complex structures.)
9830 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9831 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9832 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9833 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9835 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9836 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9837 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9838 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9839 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9840 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9841 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9844 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9845 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9846 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9847 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9848 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9851 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9854 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9855 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9856 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9857 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9858 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9861 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9865 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9866 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9867 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9868 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9871 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9874 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9875 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9876 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9877 international characters are used.
9879 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9880 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9881 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9885 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9886 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9887 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9890 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9891 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9892 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9893 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9894 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9895 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9897 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9898 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9899 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9900 be handled by the string table functions.
9902 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9903 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9904 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9905 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9906 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9910 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9911 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9912 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9913 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9914 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9916 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9917 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9918 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9919 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9922 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9923 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9924 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9925 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9926 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9930 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9931 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9932 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9933 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9934 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9935 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9936 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9937 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9939 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9940 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9941 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9944 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9945 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9946 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9947 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9948 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9949 support to pkcs8 application.
9952 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9953 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9954 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9955 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9956 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9957 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9960 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9961 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9962 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9963 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9964 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9968 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9969 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9970 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9971 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9975 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9976 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9977 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9978 and any application specific purposes.
9980 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9981 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9982 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9983 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9984 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9985 if the certificate is self signed.
9988 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9989 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9992 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9993 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9994 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9995 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9998 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9999 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10000 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10001 Update documentation.
10004 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10005 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10006 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10007 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10008 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10011 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10013 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10015 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10016 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10017 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10018 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10019 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10020 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10021 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10022 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10023 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10024 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10026 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10028 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10029 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10030 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10031 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10032 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10034 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10035 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10036 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10037 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10038 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10039 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10040 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10041 request additional information:
10042 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10043 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10045 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10046 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10047 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10050 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10051 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10053 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10054 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10057 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10058 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10060 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10061 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10062 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10066 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10067 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10068 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10070 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10071 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10072 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10073 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10074 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10075 included in OpenSSL.
10078 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10079 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10080 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10081 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10082 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10083 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10086 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10090 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10091 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10092 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10093 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10094 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10098 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10102 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10103 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10104 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10105 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10106 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10107 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10108 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10109 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10110 be maintained manually.
10112 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10113 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10114 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10115 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10116 work because people forget to call this function]
10117 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10118 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10119 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10122 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10123 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10124 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10125 should be discouraged from doing it.
10128 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10129 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10130 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10131 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10132 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10133 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10136 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10137 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10138 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10140 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10141 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10142 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10144 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10145 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10146 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10147 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10148 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10149 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10151 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10152 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10153 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10155 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10156 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10159 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10160 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10161 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10162 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10165 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10168 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10169 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10170 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10171 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10172 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10173 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10174 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10175 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10176 keys so we should be OK.
10178 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10179 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10180 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10181 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10182 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10183 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10184 stay in the name of compatibility.
10186 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10187 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10188 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10190 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10191 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10192 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10193 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10194 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10195 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10199 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10200 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10201 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10202 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10203 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10204 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10205 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10206 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10207 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10208 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10209 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10210 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10211 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10214 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10217 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10218 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10219 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10220 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10221 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10222 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10223 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10224 openssl verify ss.pem
10225 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10226 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10230 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10231 (and add it to external session representation).
10232 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10233 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10234 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10235 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10236 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10237 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10239 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10241 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10242 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10243 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10244 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10246 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10247 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10248 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10251 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10252 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10253 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10257 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10258 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10259 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10261 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10262 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10263 certificate auxiliary information.
10266 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10270 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10271 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10272 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10273 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10274 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10275 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10276 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10279 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10280 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10283 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10284 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10285 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10286 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10289 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10292 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10293 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10296 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10297 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10298 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10299 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10300 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10301 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10302 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10303 using the new 'x509' options.
10305 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10306 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10307 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10308 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10312 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10313 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10314 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10315 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10316 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10319 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10320 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10321 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10322 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10323 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10324 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10325 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10326 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10327 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10328 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10331 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10332 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10333 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10334 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10335 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10336 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10337 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10340 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10341 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10342 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10343 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10344 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10345 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10346 openssl.cnf for more info.
10349 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10350 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10351 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10352 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10353 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10354 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10355 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10356 md should be large enough anyway.
10359 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10360 for handling the random seed file.
10362 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10364 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10367 x509 (when signing).
10368 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10369 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10370 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10372 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10373 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10374 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10375 that support '-rand'.
10378 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10379 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10382 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10383 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10386 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10387 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10388 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10389 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10393 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10394 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10395 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10396 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10399 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10400 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10401 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10402 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10403 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10404 print out all the purposes.
10407 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10411 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10412 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10413 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10414 single function call.
10417 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10418 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10421 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10422 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10423 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10426 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10427 when producing the local key id.
10428 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10430 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10431 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10432 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10436 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10437 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10438 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10439 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10442 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10443 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10444 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10445 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10447 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10448 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10449 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10450 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10452 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10453 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10454 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10455 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10456 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10457 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10458 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10459 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10460 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10461 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10462 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10463 trivial: move one line.
10464 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10466 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10467 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10468 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10469 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10470 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10471 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10472 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10473 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10474 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10475 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10476 with an event loop for example.
10479 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10480 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10481 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10482 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10483 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10484 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10485 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10486 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10487 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10490 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10491 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10492 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10493 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10494 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10495 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10498 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10499 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10500 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10501 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10503 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10504 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10505 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10506 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10510 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10511 (still largely untested)
10514 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10515 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10518 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10519 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10522 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10523 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10524 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10527 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10528 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10529 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10530 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10531 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10534 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10537 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10538 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10539 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10540 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10541 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10545 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10546 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10549 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10552 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10553 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10554 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10555 are otherwise ignored at present.
10558 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10559 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10560 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10561 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10562 copied until the next read.
10565 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10566 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10567 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10570 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10571 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10572 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10573 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10574 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10575 associated functions.
10578 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10579 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10580 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10581 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10582 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10583 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10584 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10585 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10586 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10590 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10591 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10592 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10593 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10596 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10597 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10598 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10599 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10600 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10604 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10605 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10609 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10610 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10611 extensions to be obtained and added.
10614 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10615 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10618 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10620 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10621 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10623 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10624 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10626 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10630 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10631 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10632 DH parameters contain its length).
10634 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10635 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10636 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10637 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10638 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10639 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10640 utter importance to use
10641 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10643 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10644 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10645 attacks may become possible!
10648 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10651 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10652 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10655 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10656 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10657 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10661 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10662 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10663 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10664 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10665 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10666 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10667 private key operations.
10670 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10673 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10674 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10676 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10677 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10678 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10679 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10680 the password callback is called.
10681 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10683 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10685 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10686 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10687 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10688 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10689 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10690 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10693 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10694 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10695 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10696 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10697 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10698 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10701 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10704 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10705 delete an unused file.
10708 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10709 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10710 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10711 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10714 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10715 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10716 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10720 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10721 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10722 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10724 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10725 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10726 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10727 comparison" warnings.
10728 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10731 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10732 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10733 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10736 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10737 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10739 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10740 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10742 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10743 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10744 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10746 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10747 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10748 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10749 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10750 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10752 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10754 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10755 The interface is as follows:
10756 Applications can use
10757 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10758 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10759 "off" is now the default.
10760 The library internally uses
10761 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10762 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10763 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10765 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10766 even the default) are now avoided.
10768 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10769 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10770 than just having a counter.
10772 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10774 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10778 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10779 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10780 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10781 Initial "mode" flags are:
10783 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10784 a single record has been written.
10785 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10786 retries use the same buffer location.
10787 (But all of the contents must be
10791 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10794 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10795 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10797 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10798 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10799 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10802 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10803 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10805 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10807 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10808 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10809 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10810 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10812 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10813 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10815 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10816 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10817 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10818 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10819 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10820 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10823 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10824 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10825 necessary function names.
10828 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10829 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10830 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10831 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10834 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10835 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10836 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10839 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10840 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10841 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10842 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10844 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10848 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10849 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10850 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10853 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10854 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10858 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10859 for the encoded length.
10860 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10862 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10865 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10866 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10867 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10868 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10871 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10872 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10875 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10876 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10877 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10878 unusual formatting.
10881 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10882 to use the new extension code.
10885 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10886 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10887 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10891 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10892 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10893 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10897 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10900 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10901 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10902 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10905 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10906 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10907 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10908 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10911 *) DES library cleanups.
10914 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10915 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10916 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10917 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10918 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10922 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10923 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10926 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10927 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10928 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10929 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10930 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10931 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10932 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10933 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10934 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10937 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10938 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10939 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10940 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10941 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10942 value doesn't matter.
10945 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10949 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10950 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10951 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10952 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10954 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10957 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10958 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10959 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10961 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10962 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10964 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10967 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10970 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10973 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10977 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10979 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10981 *) Updated some demos.
10982 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10984 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10987 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10990 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10993 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10994 instead of using a fixed path.
10997 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11000 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11004 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11006 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11007 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11008 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11010 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11011 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11012 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11013 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11014 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11015 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11016 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11017 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11018 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11019 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11022 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11023 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11026 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11027 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11028 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11029 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11030 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11032 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11035 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11036 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11037 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11040 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11043 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11044 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11045 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11046 key elements as negative integers.
11049 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11050 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11053 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11055 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11056 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11057 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11060 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11061 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11062 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11063 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11064 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11067 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11070 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11071 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11072 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11073 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11075 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11076 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11077 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11079 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11080 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11081 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11082 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11083 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11084 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11085 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11086 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11087 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11089 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11090 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11091 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11092 does not influence s as it used to.
11094 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11095 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11096 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11097 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11098 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11099 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11102 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11103 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11104 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11108 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11109 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11110 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11114 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11115 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11116 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11120 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11121 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11124 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11125 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11127 *) Support Mingw32.
11130 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11131 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11133 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11134 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11136 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11139 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11142 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11143 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11145 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11146 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11147 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11151 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11152 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11153 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11154 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11155 now it really counts the depth.
11158 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11159 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11160 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11161 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11162 didn't match the private key).
11164 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11165 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11166 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11169 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11172 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11176 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11177 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11178 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11181 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11184 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11185 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11186 such as /usr/local/bin.
11189 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11190 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11192 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11195 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11196 extension adding in x509 utility.
11199 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11202 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11206 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11209 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11210 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11211 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11212 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11213 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11214 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11215 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11216 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11217 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11218 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11221 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11224 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11225 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11228 *) Fix some race conditions.
11231 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11232 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11235 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11238 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11239 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11240 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11241 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11243 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11244 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11246 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11247 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11248 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11250 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11251 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11253 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11256 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11257 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11259 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11262 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11263 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11265 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11266 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11269 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11270 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11273 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11274 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11277 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11278 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11281 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11282 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11285 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11286 support typesafe stack.
11289 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11290 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11292 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11293 old X509V3 handling code.
11296 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11299 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11302 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11305 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11306 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11308 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11309 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11310 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11311 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11312 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11315 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11316 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11317 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11318 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11319 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11321 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11322 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11323 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11324 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11326 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11327 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11328 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11329 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11331 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11332 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11333 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11334 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11335 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11336 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11339 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11340 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11343 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11344 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11347 *) Tweaks to Configure
11348 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11350 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11354 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11357 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11358 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11361 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11362 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11363 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11366 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11369 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11370 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11373 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11374 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11375 to library startup routines.
11378 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11379 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11380 codes along the way.
11383 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11384 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11385 objects to objects.h
11388 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11389 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11392 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11393 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11395 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11396 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11397 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11399 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11400 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11401 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11403 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11404 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11405 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11408 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11410 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11411 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11414 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11415 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11416 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11417 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11418 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11420 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11421 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11422 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11424 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11426 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11428 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11430 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11431 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11433 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11434 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11435 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11436 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11438 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11441 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11442 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11443 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11444 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11447 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11448 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11449 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11452 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11453 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11454 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11455 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11456 installed as `perl').
11457 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11459 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11460 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11462 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11463 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11464 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11465 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11466 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11469 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11472 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11473 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11474 is horrible: I feel ill....
11477 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11478 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11479 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11480 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11483 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11484 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11486 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11487 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11488 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11489 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11491 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11492 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11493 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11494 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11495 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11496 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11500 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11501 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11503 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11504 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11506 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11509 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11510 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11514 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11515 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11516 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11517 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11518 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11519 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11520 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11521 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11522 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11523 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11524 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11526 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11529 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11530 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11531 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11532 for linking it into DSOs.
11533 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11535 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11539 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11540 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11541 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11542 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11543 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11544 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11546 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11547 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11548 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11549 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11550 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11551 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11552 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11554 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11555 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11556 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11560 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11561 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11562 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11563 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11566 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11567 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11568 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11569 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11570 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11574 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11575 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11576 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11577 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11578 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11580 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11581 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11582 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11584 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11585 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11587 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11588 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11589 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11590 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11591 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11594 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11595 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11596 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11597 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11598 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11599 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11600 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11603 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11605 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11606 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11609 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11610 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11612 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11613 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11616 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11617 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11618 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11619 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11620 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11622 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11623 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11624 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11625 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11626 no way to reconfigure them.
11627 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11628 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11629 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11630 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11631 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11632 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11634 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11635 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11636 recognized by the users.
11637 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11639 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11640 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11641 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11642 already masked variable.
11643 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11645 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11646 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11648 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11649 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11650 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11651 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11653 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11654 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11655 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11657 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11658 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11659 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11660 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11661 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11662 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11663 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11664 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11666 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11668 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11669 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11670 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11672 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11673 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11677 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11678 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11680 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11681 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11682 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11683 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11686 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11689 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11690 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11692 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11695 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11696 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11699 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11700 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11703 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11704 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11705 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11706 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11707 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11708 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11709 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11712 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11713 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11715 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11716 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11717 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11718 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11719 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11721 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11722 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11723 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11726 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11727 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11731 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11732 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11733 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11735 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11736 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11737 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11738 build instructions.
11741 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11742 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11743 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11744 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11747 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11748 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11749 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11750 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11753 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11754 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11755 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11756 so it wasn't spotted.
11757 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11759 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11760 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11761 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11762 vectors if you have them.
11765 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11766 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11769 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11770 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11771 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11772 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11774 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11775 it will update them.
11778 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11779 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11780 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11781 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11782 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11783 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11784 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11785 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11787 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11788 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11789 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11790 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11791 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11792 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11793 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11794 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11795 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11796 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11798 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11799 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11800 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11801 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11802 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11805 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11809 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11810 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11812 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11813 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11815 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11816 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11819 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11820 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11822 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11823 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11825 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11828 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11832 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11833 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11834 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11835 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11837 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11840 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11843 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11846 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11847 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11850 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11851 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11855 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11856 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11859 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11860 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11861 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11864 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11865 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11866 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11867 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11868 properly to be processed.
11871 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11872 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11873 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11876 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11877 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11879 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11880 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11881 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11882 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11883 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11884 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11885 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11886 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11887 or delete all the .err files.
11890 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11891 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11892 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11893 to regenerate it if needed.
11894 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11895 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11897 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11898 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11900 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11901 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11902 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11903 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11904 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11907 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11908 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11910 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11911 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11913 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11914 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11915 error, but didn't set one).
11916 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11918 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11921 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11922 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11925 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11926 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11928 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11929 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11930 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11931 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11932 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11933 OID is not part of the table.
11936 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11937 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11940 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11943 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11944 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11948 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11949 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11951 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11953 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11955 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11956 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11958 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11959 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11961 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11962 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11964 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11965 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11968 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11969 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11972 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11973 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11975 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11976 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11978 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11979 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11981 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11982 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11984 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11985 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11986 unused in the certificate verification process.
11987 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11989 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11990 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11993 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11994 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11995 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11997 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11998 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11999 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12000 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12001 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12003 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12004 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12007 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12010 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12013 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12014 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12016 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12019 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12022 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12025 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12026 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12027 other error libraries.
12030 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12033 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12034 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12038 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12039 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12040 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12041 the new set of documentation files.
12042 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12044 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12045 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12046 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12047 number of arguments.
12048 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12050 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12053 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12054 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12055 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12057 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12060 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12064 unixware-2.0-pentium
12068 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12069 before they are needed.
12072 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12076 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12078 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12079 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12080 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12082 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12085 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12086 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12087 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12089 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12090 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12091 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12093 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12094 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12097 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12098 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12100 *) Updated the README file.
12101 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12103 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12104 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12105 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12107 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12108 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12109 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12111 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12112 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12113 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12114 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12115 o removed obsolete TODO file
12116 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12117 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12119 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12120 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12121 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12122 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f

12124 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12125 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12127 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12130 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12131 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12132 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12134 [The OpenSSL Project]
12137 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
12139 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
12142 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12145 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12146 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12149 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12150 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12154 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12156 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12158 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12161 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
12164 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
12167 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
12170 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
12173 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
12176 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
12179 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
12182 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
12185 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12188 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
12191 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
12194 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12197 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
12200 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
12203 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
12206 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
12209 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12210 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12211 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12214 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12215 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12218 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
12221 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
12224 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
12225 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
12228 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
12231 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
12234 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
12235 bytes sent in the client random.
