5 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [XX xxx XXXX]
7 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
8 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
10 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
11 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes.
14 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
15 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
18 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
19 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
20 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
21 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
22 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
23 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
24 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
28 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
29 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
30 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
31 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
34 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
35 under VC++ build system.
38 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
39 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
42 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
44 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
45 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
46 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
47 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
50 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
51 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
52 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
54 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
57 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
58 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
61 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
62 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
64 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
67 *) Extended Windows CE support.
68 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
70 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
71 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
74 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
75 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
79 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
81 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
84 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
85 key into the same file any more.
88 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
91 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
92 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
94 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
95 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
98 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
99 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
100 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
101 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
102 this only applies when building 'shared'.
103 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
105 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
106 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
107 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
110 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
111 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
112 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
113 - add new function for parameter creation
114 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
115 BN_BLINDING parameters
116 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
117 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
118 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
122 *) Add support for DTLS.
123 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
125 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
126 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
129 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
130 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
133 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
134 the apps/openssl applications.
137 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
138 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
139 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
142 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
143 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
145 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
146 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
148 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
149 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
150 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
151 avoid this algorithm.)
155 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
156 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
157 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
160 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
161 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
164 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
165 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
166 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
169 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
171 The blank line is mandatory.
175 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
176 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
180 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
181 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
183 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
184 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
185 to support policy checking and print out.
188 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
189 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
190 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
191 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
193 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
196 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
197 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
199 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
200 implementation contributed by IBM.
201 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
203 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
204 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
205 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
206 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
208 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
209 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
211 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
212 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
213 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
214 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
215 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
216 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
219 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
220 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
221 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
222 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
223 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
224 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
225 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
228 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
231 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
232 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
233 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
234 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
235 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
236 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
237 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
238 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
241 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
242 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
243 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
244 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
247 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
250 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
253 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
254 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
255 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
256 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
257 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
258 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
262 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
263 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
266 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
267 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
268 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
271 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
272 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
273 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
277 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
278 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
281 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
282 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
283 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
284 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
287 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
288 initialised value as BN_new().
289 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
291 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
294 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
295 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
296 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
297 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
298 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
299 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
300 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
301 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
302 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
303 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
304 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
305 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
306 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
307 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
308 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
310 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
311 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
312 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
313 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
316 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
317 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
318 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
319 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
320 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
321 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
322 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
323 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
324 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
327 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
328 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
329 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
330 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
331 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
332 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
333 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
336 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
337 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
338 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
339 these have been updated also.
342 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
343 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
344 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
345 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
346 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
350 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
351 structure of type "other".
354 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
355 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
356 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
357 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
358 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
359 situation in the script.
360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
362 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
363 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
364 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
365 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
366 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
367 used as premaster secret.
368 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
370 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
371 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
372 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
374 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
375 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
377 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
378 control of the error stack.
381 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
384 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
385 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
386 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
387 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
390 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
391 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
392 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
395 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
396 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
397 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
401 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
402 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
403 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
404 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
407 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
408 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
409 the following flags are defined:
411 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
412 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
413 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
416 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
417 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
418 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
419 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
423 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
424 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
425 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
426 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
427 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
430 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
431 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
432 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
435 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
436 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
437 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
438 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
439 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
440 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
443 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
447 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
450 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
453 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
456 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
457 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
458 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
459 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
460 default implementation more easily.
463 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
467 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
468 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
471 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
472 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
473 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
474 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
476 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
477 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
478 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
482 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
483 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
487 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
488 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
489 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
490 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
491 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
493 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
495 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
496 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
497 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
501 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
502 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
503 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
504 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
505 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
506 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
507 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
508 linker additions, eg;
509 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
512 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
513 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
514 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
517 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
518 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
519 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
523 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
524 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
525 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
526 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
529 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
530 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
531 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
532 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
533 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
534 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
535 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
536 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
537 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
538 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
540 Example for using the new callback interface:
542 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
546 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
548 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
549 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
550 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
551 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
552 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
553 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
558 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
559 available to TLS with the number defined in
560 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
563 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
564 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
566 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
567 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
568 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
569 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
571 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
572 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
574 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
575 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
579 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
580 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
583 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
584 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
585 and a macro that behave like
586 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
588 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
591 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
592 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
593 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
595 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
597 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
600 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
601 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
602 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
603 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
605 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
606 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
607 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
608 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
609 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
610 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
611 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
612 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
614 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
615 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
618 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
619 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
621 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
622 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
623 files while avoiding the low level API.
625 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
626 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
627 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
628 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
630 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
631 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
632 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
633 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
634 instead of the low level API.
637 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
638 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
639 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
640 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
641 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
644 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
645 down to the template encoder.
648 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
649 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
652 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
653 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
654 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
655 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
657 *) Add ECDH engine support.
658 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
660 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
661 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
663 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
664 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
667 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
668 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
669 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
672 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
673 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
675 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
676 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
678 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
679 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
682 EC_GF2m_simple_method
686 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
687 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
688 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
689 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
690 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
691 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
693 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
694 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
697 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
698 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
699 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
700 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
701 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
702 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
703 various internal method names.)
705 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
706 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
708 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
709 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
711 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
712 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
714 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
715 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
716 methods are undefined.
718 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
719 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
721 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
722 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
723 length of the modulus.
725 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
726 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
728 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
729 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
731 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
732 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
734 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
735 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
736 used) in the following functions [macros]:
739 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
740 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
741 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
742 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
744 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
745 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
746 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
747 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
749 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
750 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
752 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
753 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
754 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
755 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
756 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
758 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
759 This applies to the following functions:
764 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
765 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
768 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
772 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
777 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
779 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
780 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
781 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
782 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
783 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
785 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
786 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
788 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
789 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
790 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
792 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
793 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
795 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
796 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
797 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
798 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
799 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
801 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
803 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
804 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
805 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
806 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
807 These control ASN1 encoding details:
808 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
809 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
810 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
811 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
812 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
813 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
814 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
816 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
820 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
821 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
822 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
824 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
825 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
826 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
827 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
834 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
835 EC_POINT_oct2point().
836 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
838 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
839 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
840 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
842 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
843 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
844 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
845 adding different types of curves.
846 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
848 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
849 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
850 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
853 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
854 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
856 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
857 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
858 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
859 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
861 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
863 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
864 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
866 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
867 library. Most notably,
868 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
869 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
870 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
871 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
872 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
873 extracted before the specific public key;
874 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
875 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
877 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
878 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
880 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
881 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
882 EC_get_builtin_curves().
883 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
885 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
886 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
887 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
889 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
890 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
891 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
892 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
893 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
894 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
898 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
900 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
901 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
902 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
903 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
904 the difference induced by this change.
907 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
909 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
910 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
911 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
912 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
913 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
915 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
916 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
917 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
919 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
920 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
923 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
924 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
925 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
926 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
930 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
931 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
932 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
933 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
934 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
936 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
937 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
938 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
939 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
940 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
941 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
943 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
945 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
946 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
947 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
948 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
949 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
952 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
956 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
957 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
958 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
961 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
962 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
966 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
968 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
971 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
972 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
973 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
974 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
975 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
976 some needed definitions.
979 *) Undo Cygwin change.
982 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
983 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
984 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
985 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
988 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
990 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
991 server and client random values. Previously
992 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
993 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
995 This change has negligible security impact because:
997 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1000 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1003 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1004 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1007 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1010 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1012 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1015 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1016 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1017 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1019 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1022 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1023 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1026 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1027 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1028 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1030 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1033 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1034 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1035 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1039 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1040 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1041 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1042 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1044 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1045 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1046 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1047 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1051 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1053 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1054 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1055 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1056 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1057 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1060 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1063 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1064 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1066 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1067 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1068 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1069 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1070 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1071 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1072 rather than being initialized to 1.
1075 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1077 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1078 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1079 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1081 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1083 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1085 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1086 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1087 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1088 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1089 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1090 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1093 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1094 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1095 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1096 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1097 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1101 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1102 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1103 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1104 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1105 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1108 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1109 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1110 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1114 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1115 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1117 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1120 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1122 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1124 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1125 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1127 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1129 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1130 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1134 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1135 exiting on the first error in a request.
1138 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1139 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1143 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1144 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1145 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1146 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1148 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1149 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1152 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1153 blocks during encryption.
1156 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1157 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1158 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1159 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1163 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1164 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1165 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1166 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1167 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1171 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1173 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1174 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1175 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1176 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1179 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1180 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1181 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1182 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1183 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1185 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1186 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1187 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1188 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1189 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1190 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1191 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1192 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1193 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1196 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1197 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1198 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1199 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1202 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1203 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1206 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1208 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1209 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1210 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1211 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1212 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1214 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1215 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1216 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1218 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1219 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1220 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1221 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1222 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1224 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1225 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1226 used by default when no-err is given.
1229 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1230 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1232 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1233 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1234 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1235 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1236 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1238 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1239 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1240 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1241 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1243 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1245 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1247 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1249 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1250 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are

1259 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1260 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1263 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1264 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1265 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1266 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1269 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1270 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1271 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1272 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1273 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1274 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1275 followup to PR #377.
1278 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1279 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1282 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1283 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1284 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1306 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1307 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1308 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1309 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1310 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1311 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1313 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1314 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1315 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1316 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1317 have to be made anyway).
1320 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1321 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1322 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1325 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1326 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1327 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1330 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1331 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1332 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1334 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1335 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1336 edit numbers of the version.

1428 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

1443 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1444 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1446 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1447 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1448 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1450 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1451 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1452 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1453 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1455 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1456 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1457 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1460 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1461 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1462 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1463 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1464 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1465 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1466 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1467 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1470 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1471 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1472 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1475 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1476 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1477 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1478 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1479 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1481 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1482 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1484 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1485 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1488 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1489 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1490 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1491 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1492 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1493 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1496 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1497 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1498 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1501 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1502 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1505 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1506 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1507 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1508 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1509 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1510 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1511 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1514 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1515 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1516 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1517 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1518 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1519 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1522 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1523 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1524 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1525 declaration has been changed from
1528 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1529 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1530 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1531 has been changed into
1532 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1534 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1535 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1536 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1538 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1539 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1541 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1542 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1543 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1544 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1545 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1546 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1547 always load it have also been added.
1550 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1551 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1552 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1554 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1556 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1557 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1558 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1560 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1561 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1562 command line option can be used to specify an
1566 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1567 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1570 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1571 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1572 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1575 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1576 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1577 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1578 to work with the new engine framework.
1579 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1581 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1582 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1583 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1584 to work with the new engine framework.
1587 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1588 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1589 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1591 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1592 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1594 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1595 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1596 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1597 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1599 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1601 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1602 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1604 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1605 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1607 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1608 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1609 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1612 *) Add new functions
1614 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1615 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1616 These are similar to
1619 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1620 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1621 still in the error queue.
1622 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1624 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1626 default_algorithms = ALL
1627 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1630 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1633 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1636 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1637 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1638 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1639 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1641 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1642 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1644 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1645 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1647 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1648 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1651 *) New functions/macros
1653 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1654 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1655 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1656 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1658 to request calling a callback function
1660 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1661 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1663 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1664 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1665 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1666 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1667 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1668 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1669 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1670 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1671 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1672 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1674 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1675 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1678 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1679 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1680 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1681 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1682 the configuration scripts.
1684 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1685 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1686 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1688 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1689 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1691 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1692 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1693 when reusing an existing buffer.
1696 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1697 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1700 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1701 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1704 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1705 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1706 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1707 has the same effect.
1708 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1710 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1711 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1712 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1713 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1714 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1715 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1718 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1719 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1720 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1721 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1723 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1724 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1725 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1726 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1728 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1729 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1732 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1733 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1734 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1735 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1736 default), and then completely removed.
1739 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1740 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1741 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1742 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1743 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1744 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1745 particular extension is supported.
1748 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1749 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1752 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1753 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1754 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1755 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1756 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1757 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1758 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1759 requires the destination to be valid.
1761 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1762 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1765 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1766 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1767 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1770 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1771 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1773 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1774 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1775 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1776 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1777 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1778 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1779 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1780 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1781 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1782 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1783 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1784 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1785 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1786 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1787 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1788 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1789 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1790 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1791 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1795 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1798 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1799 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1800 become part of libeay.num as well.
1803 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1804 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1805 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1806 false once a handshake has been completed.
1807 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1808 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1809 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1810 client has followed the request.)
1813 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1814 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1815 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1816 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1818 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1819 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1820 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1823 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1826 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1827 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1828 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1831 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1832 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1835 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1836 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1837 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1838 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1841 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1842 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1843 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1844 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1845 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1846 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1849 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1850 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1851 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1852 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1853 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1854 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1855 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1856 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1859 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1860 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1863 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1866 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1867 md_data void pointer.
1870 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1871 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1872 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1873 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1874 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1875 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1878 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1879 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1880 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1881 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1882 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1883 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1884 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1885 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1886 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1887 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1888 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1889 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1890 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1891 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1892 rather than letting it slide.
1894 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1895 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1896 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1899 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1900 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1901 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1902 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1903 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1904 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1905 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1906 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1907 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1910 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1911 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1912 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1913 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1914 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1916 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1919 *) Add EVP test program.
1922 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1925 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1926 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1927 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1928 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1929 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1932 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1933 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1934 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1935 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1936 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1937 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1938 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1940 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1941 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1942 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1947 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1948 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1949 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1950 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1951 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1955 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1956 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1957 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1958 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1961 des_key_schedule ks;
1963 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1964 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1966 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1969 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1970 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1971 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1972 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1973 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1974 functions prevents this.
1977 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1980 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1981 correct _ecb suffix.
1984 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1985 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1986 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1987 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1988 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1991 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1994 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1995 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1996 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1997 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1999 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2000 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2002 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2003 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2004 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2005 via Richard Levitte]
2007 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2008 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2009 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2010 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2013 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2016 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2017 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2031 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2032 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2034 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2035 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2036 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2037 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2038 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2039 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2042 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2043 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2046 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2047 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2048 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2049 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2051 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2052 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2053 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2054 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2055 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2056 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2060 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2061 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2062 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2063 and interrupts/cancellations.
2066 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2067 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2070 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2071 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2072 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2074 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2075 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2079 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2080 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2081 than this minimum value is recommended.
2084 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2085 that are easily reachable.
2088 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2089 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2091 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2093 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2094 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2095 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2096 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2099 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2100 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2101 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2104 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2105 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2106 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2107 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2108 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2109 internally such as S/MIME.
2111 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2112 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2113 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2115 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2119 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2120 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2121 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2122 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2124 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2126 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2128 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2129 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2130 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2134 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2135 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2136 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2137 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2138 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2139 a window system and the like.
2142 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2143 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2146 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2147 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2148 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2149 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2150 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2151 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2152 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2153 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2154 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2158 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2159 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2163 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2164 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2165 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2166 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2167 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2168 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2169 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2170 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2173 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2174 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2175 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2176 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2177 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2178 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2179 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2180 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2181 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2182 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2183 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2184 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2185 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2186 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2187 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2188 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2189 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2192 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2193 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2194 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2195 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2196 internal engine_int.h header.
2199 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2200 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2201 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2202 modify their own ones).
2205 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2206 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2207 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2208 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2209 later on via ctrl() commands.
2210 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2211 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2212 structural references.
2213 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2214 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2215 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2216 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2217 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2218 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2219 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2220 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2221 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2222 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2223 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2224 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2227 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2228 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2229 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2230 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2231 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2232 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2233 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2234 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2237 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2238 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2241 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2242 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2245 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2246 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2247 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2248 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2249 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2250 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2251 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2254 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2255 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2256 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2257 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2258 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2260 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2261 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2265 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2267 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2268 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2269 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2271 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2272 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2274 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2275 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2276 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2278 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2279 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2281 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2282 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2284 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2286 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2287 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2288 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2291 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2292 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2295 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2296 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2297 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2298 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2299 is 40 of more characters long.
2302 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2303 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2307 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2308 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2311 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2312 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2316 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2318 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2319 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2322 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2324 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2325 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2326 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2328 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2329 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2331 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2334 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2338 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2339 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2340 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2341 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2343 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2345 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2346 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2348 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2349 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2350 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2351 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2352 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2353 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2355 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2356 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2358 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2359 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2361 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2362 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2364 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2365 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2366 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2367 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2369 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2370 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2372 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2373 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2375 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2376 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2377 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2378 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2379 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2382 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2383 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2384 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2385 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2388 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2389 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2390 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2394 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2395 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2396 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2397 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2398 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2399 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2400 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2401 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2405 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2406 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2409 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2410 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2411 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2412 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2415 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2416 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2417 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2418 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2419 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2420 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2421 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2422 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2423 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2424 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2427 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2428 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2429 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2430 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2431 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2432 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2433 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2434 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2436 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2437 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2438 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2439 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2442 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2443 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2444 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2445 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2447 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2448 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2449 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2450 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2451 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2455 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2456 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2457 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2458 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2462 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2463 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2464 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2467 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2468 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2469 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2470 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2471 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2474 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2477 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2478 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2479 option to ocsp utility.
2482 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2483 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2484 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2485 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2486 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2487 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2488 the request is nonce-less.
2491 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2492 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2493 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2496 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2497 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2498 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2501 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2502 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2503 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2504 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2505 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2508 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2509 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2513 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2514 additional certificates supplied.
2517 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2518 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2522 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2523 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2526 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2527 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2528 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2529 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2530 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2531 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2532 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2533 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2534 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2536 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2537 request to response.
2540 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2541 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2542 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2543 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2544 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2545 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2546 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2547 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2548 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2549 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2550 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2553 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2554 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2555 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2556 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2559 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2560 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2562 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2563 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2564 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2567 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2568 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2569 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2570 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2571 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2573 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2574 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2575 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2578 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2579 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2580 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2581 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2582 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2583 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2584 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2585 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2587 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2588 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2589 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2590 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2591 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2592 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2595 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2596 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2597 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2598 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2599 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2600 printout format cleaned up.
2603 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2604 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2605 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2606 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2607 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2608 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2609 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2610 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2613 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2614 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2615 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2616 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2617 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2618 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2619 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2620 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2623 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2624 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2625 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2626 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2628 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2630 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2631 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2632 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2633 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2636 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2637 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2638 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2639 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2641 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2643 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2644 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2645 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2646 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2648 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2649 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2651 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2652 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2653 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2656 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2657 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2658 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2661 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2662 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2663 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2664 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2665 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2666 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2667 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2668 functions are provided:
2670 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2671 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2672 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2673 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2675 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2676 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2677 extended allocation function is enabled.
2678 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2679 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2680 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2682 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2683 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2684 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2685 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2686 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2689 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2690 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2691 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2693 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2694 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2695 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2698 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2699 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2700 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2701 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2702 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2703 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2704 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2705 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2706 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2709 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2710 provide utility functions which an application needing
2711 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2712 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2713 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2715 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2716 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2717 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2718 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2719 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2720 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2721 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2722 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2723 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2725 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2726 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2727 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2728 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2731 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2732 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2733 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2734 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2735 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2736 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2737 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2738 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2739 will be added elsewhere.
2742 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2743 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2744 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2745 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2748 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2749 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2750 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2751 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2752 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2753 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2754 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2755 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2756 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2757 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2758 to produce the required SET OF.
2761 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2762 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2763 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2766 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2767 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2768 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2769 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2770 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2771 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2774 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2775 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2776 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2779 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2780 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2781 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2784 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2785 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2786 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2787 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2788 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2791 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2792 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2795 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2796 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2797 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2798 certifcates and CRLs.
2801 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2802 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2803 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2806 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2807 entries for variables.
2810 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2811 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2812 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2813 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2816 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2817 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2818 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2819 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2820 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2821 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2824 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2825 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2827 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2828 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2829 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2832 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2836 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2837 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2838 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2839 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2840 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2841 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2844 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2847 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2848 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2849 for now but they will eventually go away.
2852 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2853 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2854 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2855 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2856 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2857 has also been converted to the new form.
2860 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2861 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2862 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2863 for negative moduli.
2866 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2867 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2870 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2874 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2875 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2876 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2877 type-specific callbacks.
2880 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2882 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2883 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2885 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2886 in sections depending on the subject.
2889 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2893 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2894 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2895 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2896 be handled deterministically).
2897 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2899 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2900 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2901 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2904 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2907 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2908 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2909 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2910 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2911 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2914 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2915 sign of the number in question.
2917 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2919 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2920 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2921 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2922 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2923 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2926 *) New function BN_swap.
2929 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2930 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2931 results on negative inputs.
2934 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2935 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2936 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2939 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2940 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2941 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2942 and add new functions:
2951 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2955 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2957 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2958 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2960 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2961 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2962 be reduced modulo m.
2963 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2966 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2967 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2968 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2970 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2971 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2972 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2973 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2974 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2975 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2980 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2981 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2982 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2983 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2984 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2986 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2987 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2988 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2992 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2995 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2996 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2999 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3000 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3001 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3002 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3006 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3009 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3012 *) Add the following functions:
3014 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3016 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3018 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3020 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3021 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3022 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3023 libraries unless it's really needed.
3025 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3026 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3027 declarations (they differed!).
3030 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3033 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3036 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3039 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3040 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3043 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3044 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3045 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3047 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3048 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3051 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3054 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3057 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3060 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3061 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3062 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3064 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3065 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3066 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3067 different shared library filenames on each system.
3070 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3073 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3074 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3075 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3077 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3080 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3081 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3082 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3083 binary backward compatibility.
3084 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3085 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3086 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3090 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3091 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3092 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3093 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3097 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3100 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3101 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3102 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3103 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3107 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3110 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3112 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3113 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3114 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3116 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3118 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3120 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3121 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3124 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3126 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3128 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3129 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3131 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3132 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3136 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3137 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3141 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3142 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3143 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3144 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3146 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3147 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3150 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3152 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3153 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3154 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3155 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3158 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3159 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3160 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3161 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3162 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3164 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3165 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3166 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3167 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3168 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3169 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3170 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3171 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3172 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3175 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3177 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3178 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3179 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3180 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3181 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3183 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3184 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3185 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3187 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3189 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3190 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3191 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3192 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3193 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3194 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3197 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3198 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3199 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3200 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3201 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3204 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3205 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3206 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3208 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3209 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3210 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3214 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3215 being properly terminated.
3218 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3219 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3220 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3221 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3223 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3224 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3225 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3226 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3227 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3228 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3229 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3231 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3233 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3234 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3237 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3238 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3239 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3240 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3241 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3242 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3243 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3244 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3246 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3247 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3248 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3249 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3250 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3252 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3253 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3256 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3258 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3259 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3260 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3262 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3264 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3265 and get fix the header length calculation.
3266 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3267 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3270 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3271 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3272 assertions could call abort()).
3273 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3275 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3277 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3278 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3279 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3281 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3283 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3284 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3285 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3288 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3292 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3293 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3294 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3296 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3297 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3298 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3299 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3300 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3304 *) Changes in security patch:
3306 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3307 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3308 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3311 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3312 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3313 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3314 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3315 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3317 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3319 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3321 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3322 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3323 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3325 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3326 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3327 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3329 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3330 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3331 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3333 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3335 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3336 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3337 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3339 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3340 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3342 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3343 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3344 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3345 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3346 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3347 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3350 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3351 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3352 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3353 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3356 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3359 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3360 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3361 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3362 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3363 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3364 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3366 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3367 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3368 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3369 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3370 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3373 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3374 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3375 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3376 BN_generate_prime().)
3378 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3379 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3380 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3384 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3385 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3388 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3389 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3390 when using non-blocking I/O.
3391 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3393 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3394 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3396 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3397 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3400 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3401 configuration for the versions before that.
3402 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3404 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3405 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3406 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3407 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3410 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3411 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3412 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3415 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3419 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3420 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3421 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3423 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3424 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3426 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3427 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3428 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3429 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3430 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3431 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3432 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3435 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3436 using a local variable.
3437 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3439 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3440 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3441 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3443 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3446 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3447 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3449 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3450 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3451 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3453 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3455 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3456 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3457 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3458 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3461 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3465 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3466 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3467 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3468 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3469 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3471 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3472 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3473 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3475 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3476 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3477 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3479 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3480 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3481 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3482 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3484 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3485 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3486 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3488 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3490 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3491 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3493 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3495 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3496 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3497 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3498 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3500 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3501 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3502 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3503 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3505 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3506 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3508 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3509 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3510 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3513 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3514 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3515 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3517 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3519 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3520 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3521 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3522 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3523 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3524 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3525 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3528 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3529 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3530 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3531 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3533 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3534 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3535 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3536 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3537 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3538 the client will at least see that alert.
3541 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3545 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3546 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3547 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3549 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3550 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3551 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3552 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3555 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3556 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3557 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3559 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3560 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3561 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3562 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3563 may leak via logfiles.)
3565 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3566 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3567 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3568 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3572 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3573 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3576 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3577 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3578 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3579 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3580 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3583 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3584 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3586 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3587 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3588 followed by modular reduction.
3589 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3591 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3592 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3595 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3596 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3597 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3598 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3601 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3604 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3605 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3608 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3609 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3610 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3611 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3612 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3613 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3615 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3617 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3618 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3619 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3620 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3621 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3623 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3626 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3627 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3628 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3629 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3630 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3631 to allow the necessary settings.
3634 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3635 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3636 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3637 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3640 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3641 dh->length and always used
3643 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3645 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3646 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3647 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3648 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3649 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3654 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3656 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3662 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3663 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3664 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3665 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3667 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3668 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3669 always reject numbers >= n.
3672 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3673 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3674 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3675 variable) is not atomic.
3678 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3679 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3680 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3681 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3683 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3684 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3686 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3688 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3690 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3693 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3695 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3696 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3697 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3698 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3699 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3700 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3701 to traverse all of 'state'.
3703 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3704 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3705 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3707 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3708 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3710 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3711 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3712 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3713 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3714 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3715 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3716 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3717 further strengthens the PRNG.
3720 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3723 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3724 an error message in this case.
3727 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3730 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3731 positive and less than q.
3734 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3735 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3737 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3739 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3740 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3744 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3746 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3747 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3748 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3749 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3750 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3751 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3752 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3755 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3756 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3757 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3758 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3760 Both problems are now fixed.
3763 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3764 (previously it was 1024).
3767 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3768 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3771 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3774 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3775 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3776 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3779 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3780 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3781 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3782 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3783 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3784 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3785 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3786 environment variables.
3788 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3789 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3790 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3793 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3794 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3795 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3796 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3797 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3798 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3801 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3805 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3807 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3808 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3810 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3811 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3812 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3813 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3817 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3818 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3819 amount of data available.
3820 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3821 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3823 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3824 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3825 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3826 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3829 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3830 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3834 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3835 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3836 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3837 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3840 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3843 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3846 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3847 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3849 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3851 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3852 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3853 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3854 (but broken) behaviour.
3857 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3859 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3861 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3862 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3865 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3869 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3870 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3872 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3875 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3876 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3877 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3879 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3880 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3881 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3884 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3885 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3888 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3889 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3891 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3893 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3895 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3896 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3897 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3898 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3901 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3904 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3905 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3906 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3908 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3911 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3913 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3914 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3915 but the code is actually correct.
3918 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3919 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3920 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3921 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3922 and leaves the highest bit random.
3923 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3925 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3926 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3927 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3928 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3929 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3930 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3931 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3934 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3937 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3938 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3941 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3942 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3943 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3944 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3948 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3949 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3950 and break the signature.
3952 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3954 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3958 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3959 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3960 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3961 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3962 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3965 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3966 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3968 *) ./config script fixes.
3969 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3971 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3974 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3975 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3976 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3977 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3978 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3980 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3981 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3984 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3985 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3988 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3989 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3990 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3991 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3993 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3994 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3996 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3997 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3998 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3999 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4000 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4002 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4005 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4008 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4011 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4014 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4015 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4018 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4019 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4020 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4021 result of the server certificate verification.)
4024 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4025 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4026 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4030 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4031 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4032 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4033 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4034 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4035 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4036 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4037 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4040 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4041 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4042 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4043 happening the other way round.
4046 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4047 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4050 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4051 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4052 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4053 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4056 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4057 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4059 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4061 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4062 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4063 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4066 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4068 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4070 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4074 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4076 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4077 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4078 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4079 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4080 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4082 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4083 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4087 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4090 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4092 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4093 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4094 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4095 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4096 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4097 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4098 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4099 by the Finished messages.
4102 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4103 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4105 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4106 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4107 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4108 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4109 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4113 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4114 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4115 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4116 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4117 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4118 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4119 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4120 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4121 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4125 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4126 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4127 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4128 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4130 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4131 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4132 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4133 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4134 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4137 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4138 been tested well enough.
4141 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4142 it can return incorrect results.
4143 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4144 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4147 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4148 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4149 include zero length content when signing messages.
4152 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4153 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4156 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4159 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4163 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4164 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4165 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4166 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4167 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4168 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4171 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4172 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4174 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4175 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4177 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4178 random number < q in the DSA library.
4181 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4182 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4183 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4184 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4185 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4186 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4187 just makes things more complicated.)
4190 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4194 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4195 work better on such systems.
4196 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4198 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4199 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4200 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4203 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4204 if there was more than one signature.
4205 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4207 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4208 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4209 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4210 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4213 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4214 rather than always using the current time.
4217 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4218 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4219 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4220 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4221 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4222 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4224 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4225 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4227 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4229 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4230 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4231 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4232 the same hash value.
4234 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4235 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4236 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4237 with X509_STORE internally.
4239 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4240 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4242 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4243 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4244 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4245 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4246 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4247 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4248 entirely (maybe later...).
4250 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4252 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4253 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4254 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4255 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4256 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4257 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4258 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4259 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4261 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4262 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4264 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4265 to customise the verify behaviour.
4268 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4269 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4272 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4273 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4274 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4275 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4276 request is improperly encoded.
4279 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4280 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4283 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4284 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4286 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4287 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4291 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4292 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4293 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4296 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4297 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4298 BIO/fp routines also added.
4301 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4302 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4304 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4305 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4306 demos/state_machine.
4309 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4310 generation and verification.
4313 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4314 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4315 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4316 encode and decode it manually.
4319 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4321 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4323 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4324 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4325 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4326 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4328 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4329 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4330 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4331 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4332 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4335 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4338 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4339 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4340 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4342 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4343 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4344 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4345 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4346 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4347 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4348 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4349 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4351 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4352 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4354 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4356 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4357 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4358 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4362 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4363 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4364 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4365 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4369 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4371 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4374 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4375 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4376 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4377 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4378 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4379 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4380 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4381 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4382 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4383 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4384 short or long names are found.
4387 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4388 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4390 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4391 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4392 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4393 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4395 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4396 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4397 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4398 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4401 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4402 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4403 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4406 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4407 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4408 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4409 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4410 to allow the various flags to be set.
4413 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4414 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4415 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4416 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4417 dates to be checked.
4420 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4421 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4422 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4425 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4426 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4427 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4430 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4431 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4434 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4435 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4436 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4437 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4438 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4439 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4442 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4443 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4447 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4451 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4452 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4453 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4454 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4455 form signing output easier to verify.
4458 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4461 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4462 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4463 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4464 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4465 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4466 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4467 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4468 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4469 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4470 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4473 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4475 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4476 the syntax given in objects.README.
4477 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4479 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4482 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4483 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4484 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4485 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4486 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4487 consistent name changes.
4490 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4493 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4494 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4495 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4496 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4499 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4500 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4501 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4505 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4506 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4507 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4508 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4511 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4512 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4513 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4514 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4515 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4516 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4517 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4518 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4519 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4520 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4521 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4524 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4525 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4526 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4527 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4528 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4529 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4530 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4531 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4532 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4533 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4536 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4537 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4538 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4539 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4541 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4542 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4543 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4544 omit any duplicate addresses.
4547 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4548 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4551 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4552 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4553 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4554 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4555 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4558 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4560 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4561 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4562 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4563 Free => OPENSSL_free
4566 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4567 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4570 *) CygWin32 support.
4571 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4573 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4574 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4575 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4576 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4577 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4581 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4582 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4583 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4584 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4585 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4586 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4587 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4590 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4591 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4592 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4593 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4594 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4595 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4596 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4597 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4598 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4599 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4600 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4603 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4604 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4605 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4606 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4607 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4609 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4610 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4611 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4612 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4613 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4615 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4618 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4619 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4620 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4621 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4623 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4625 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4628 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4629 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4630 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4633 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4634 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4635 any installed hardware versions can.
4638 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4639 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4640 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4644 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4645 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4646 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4647 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4648 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4650 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4651 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4654 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4655 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4658 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4659 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4660 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4664 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4667 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4668 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4669 but no ssl client purpose.
4670 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4672 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4673 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4674 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4675 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4676 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4677 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4678 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4679 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4680 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4681 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4682 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4685 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4686 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4687 be obtained from the error queue.
4690 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4691 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4692 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4693 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4696 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4699 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4700 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4701 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4702 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4703 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4706 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4707 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4708 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4709 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4710 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4713 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4714 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4715 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4717 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4719 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4720 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4721 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4722 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4723 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4724 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4725 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4726 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4727 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4728 or "the configuration storage API"...
4730 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4732 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4733 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4735 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4737 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4739 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4740 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4741 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4742 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4743 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4744 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4745 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4747 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4748 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4751 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4752 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4753 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4754 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4757 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4758 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4759 them in a portable way.
4760 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4762 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4764 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4766 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4767 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4769 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4770 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4771 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4774 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4775 was larger than the MD block size.
4776 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4778 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4779 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4780 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4781 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4785 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4786 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4787 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4789 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4791 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4793 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4794 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4795 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4796 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4797 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4798 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4800 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4801 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4803 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4804 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4807 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4810 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4811 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4813 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4814 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4815 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4816 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4819 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4820 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4821 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4822 does not suppress any output.
4825 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4826 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4827 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4828 with all the associated security issues.
4830 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4831 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4832 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4833 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4834 use the value in the default purpose.
4837 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4838 and fix a memory leak.
4841 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4842 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4843 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4844 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4847 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4848 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4849 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4850 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4853 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4854 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4855 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4858 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4859 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4862 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4863 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4867 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4868 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4871 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4872 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4873 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4876 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4877 number generation fails.
4880 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4883 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4884 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4886 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4889 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4890 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4892 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4893 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4895 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4897 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4898 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4901 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4902 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4904 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4905 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4908 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4909 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4910 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4911 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4912 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4913 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4915 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4916 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4917 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4921 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4922 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4923 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4924 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4925 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4926 counter, some don't.)
4927 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4928 counters or duplicate objects.
4931 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4932 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4935 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4936 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4937 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4939 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4940 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4941 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4945 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4946 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4949 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4950 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4951 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4955 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4956 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4957 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4960 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4961 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4962 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4963 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4964 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4965 should work without changes.
4968 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4969 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4970 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4971 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4972 must be defined. E.g.,
4973 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4974 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4975 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4976 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4978 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4982 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4983 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4984 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4987 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4988 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4989 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4990 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4993 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4994 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4995 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4996 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4997 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4998 is prompted for as usual.
5001 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5002 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5003 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5004 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5006 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5007 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5008 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5009 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5012 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5015 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5019 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5022 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5025 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5029 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5032 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5035 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5036 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5039 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5040 options to produce them.
5043 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5044 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5047 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5051 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5052 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5053 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5054 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5055 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5056 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5057 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5060 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5063 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5064 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5065 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5068 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5069 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5071 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5072 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5075 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5076 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5077 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5081 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5082 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5084 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5085 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5086 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5087 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5088 generation becomes much faster.
5090 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5091 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5092 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5093 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5094 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5095 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5096 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5097 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5098 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5099 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5102 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5103 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5104 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5105 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5106 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5107 trial division stage.
5110 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5114 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5117 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5120 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5121 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5122 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5126 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5127 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5128 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5131 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5132 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5133 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5134 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5136 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5137 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5140 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5143 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5144 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5145 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5146 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5149 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5150 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5151 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5154 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5155 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5156 (instead of parameters) in future.
5159 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5160 when a new cipher list is set.
5163 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5164 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5167 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5168 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5169 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5171 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5172 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5173 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5174 an error is flagged.
5176 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5177 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5178 the readability was also increased :-)
5179 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5181 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5182 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5183 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5184 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5188 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5189 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5192 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5193 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5194 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5195 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5198 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5199 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5200 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5201 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5202 because they handle more complex structures.)
5205 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5206 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5207 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5208 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5210 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5211 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5212 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5213 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5214 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5215 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5216 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5219 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5220 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5221 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5222 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5223 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5226 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5229 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5230 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5231 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5232 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5233 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5236 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5240 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5241 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5242 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5243 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5246 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5249 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5250 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5251 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5252 international characters are used.
5254 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5255 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5256 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5260 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5261 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5262 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5265 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5266 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5267 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5268 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5269 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5270 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5272 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5273 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5274 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5275 be handled by the string table functions.
5277 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5278 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5279 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5280 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5281 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5285 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5286 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5287 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5288 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5289 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5291 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5292 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5293 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5294 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5297 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5298 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5299 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5300 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5301 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5305 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5306 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5307 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5308 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5309 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5310 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5311 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5312 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5314 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5315 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5316 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5319 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5320 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5321 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5322 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5323 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5324 support to pkcs8 application.
5327 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5328 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5329 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5330 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5331 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5332 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5335 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5336 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5337 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5338 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5339 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5343 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5344 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5345 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5346 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5350 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5351 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5352 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5353 and any application specific purposes.
5355 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5356 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5357 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5358 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5359 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5360 if the certificate is self signed.
5363 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5364 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5367 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5368 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5369 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5370 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5373 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5374 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5375 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5376 Update documentation.
5379 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5380 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5381 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5382 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5383 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5386 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5388 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5390 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5391 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5392 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5393 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5394 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5395 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5396 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5397 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5398 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5399 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5401 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5403 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5404 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5405 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5406 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5407 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5409 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5410 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5411 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5412 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5413 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5414 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5415 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5416 request additional information:
5417 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5418 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5420 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5421 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5422 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5425 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5426 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5429 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5432 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5433 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5435 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5436 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5437 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5441 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5442 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5443 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5445 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5446 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5447 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5448 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5449 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5450 included in OpenSSL.
5453 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5454 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5455 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5456 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5457 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5458 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5461 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5465 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5466 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5467 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5468 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5469 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5473 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5477 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5478 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5479 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5480 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5481 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5482 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5483 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5484 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5485 be maintained manually.
5487 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5488 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5489 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5490 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5491 work because people forget to call this function]
5492 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5493 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5494 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5497 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5498 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5499 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5500 should be discouraged from doing it.
5503 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5504 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5505 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5506 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5507 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5508 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5511 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5512 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5513 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5515 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5516 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5517 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5519 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5520 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5521 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5522 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5523 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5524 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5526 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5527 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5528 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5530 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5531 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5534 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5535 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5536 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5537 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5540 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5543 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5544 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5545 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5546 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5547 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5548 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5549 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5550 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5551 keys so we should be OK.
5553 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5554 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5555 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5556 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5557 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5558 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5559 stay in the name of compatibility.
5561 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5562 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5563 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5565 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5566 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5567 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5568 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5569 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5570 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5574 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5575 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5576 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5577 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5578 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5579 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5580 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5581 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5582 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5583 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5584 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5585 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5586 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5589 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5592 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5593 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5594 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5595 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5596 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5597 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5598 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5599 openssl verify ss.pem
5600 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5601 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5605 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5606 (and add it to external session representation).
5607 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5608 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5609 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5610 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5611 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5612 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5614 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5616 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5617 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5618 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5619 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5621 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5622 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5623 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5626 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5627 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5628 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5632 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5633 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5634 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5636 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5637 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5638 certificate auxiliary information.
5641 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5645 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5646 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5647 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5648 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5649 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5650 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5651 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5654 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5655 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5658 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5659 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5660 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5661 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5664 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5667 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5668 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5671 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5672 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5673 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5674 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5675 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5676 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5677 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5678 using the new 'x509' options.
5680 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5681 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5682 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5683 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5687 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5688 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5689 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5690 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5691 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5694 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5695 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5696 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5697 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5698 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5699 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5700 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5701 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5702 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5703 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5706 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5707 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5708 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5709 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5710 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5711 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5712 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5715 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5716 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5717 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5718 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5719 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5720 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5721 openssl.cnf for more info.
5724 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5725 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5726 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5727 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5728 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5729 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5730 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5731 md should be large enough anyway.
5734 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5735 for handling the random seed file.
5737 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5739 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5742 x509 (when signing).
5743 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5744 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5745 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5747 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5748 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5749 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5750 that support '-rand'.
5753 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5754 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5757 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5758 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5761 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5762 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5763 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5764 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5768 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5769 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5770 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5771 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5774 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5775 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5776 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5777 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5778 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5779 print out all the purposes.
5782 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5786 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5787 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5788 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5789 single function call.
5792 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5793 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5796 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5797 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5798 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5801 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5802 when producing the local key id.
5803 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5805 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5806 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5807 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5811 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5812 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5813 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5814 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5817 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5818 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5819 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5820 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5822 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5823 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5824 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5825 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5827 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5828 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5829 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5830 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5831 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5832 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5833 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5834 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5835 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5836 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5837 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5838 trivial: move one line.
5839 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5841 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5842 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5843 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5844 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5845 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5846 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5847 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5848 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5849 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5850 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5851 with an event loop for example.
5854 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5855 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5856 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5857 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5858 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5859 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5860 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5861 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5862 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5865 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5866 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5867 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5868 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5869 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5870 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5873 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5874 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5875 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5876 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5878 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5879 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5880 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5881 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5885 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5886 (still largely untested)
5889 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5890 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5893 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5894 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5897 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5898 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5899 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5902 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5903 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5904 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5905 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5906 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5909 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5912 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5913 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5914 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5915 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5916 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5920 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5921 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5924 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5927 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5928 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5929 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5930 are otherwise ignored at present.
5933 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5934 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5935 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5936 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5937 copied until the next read.
5940 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5941 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5942 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5945 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5946 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5947 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5948 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5949 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5950 associated functions.
5953 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5954 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5955 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5956 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5957 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5958 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5959 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5960 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5961 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5965 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5966 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5967 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5968 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5971 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5972 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5973 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5974 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5975 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5979 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5980 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5984 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5985 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5986 extensions to be obtained and added.
5989 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5990 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5993 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5995 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5996 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5998 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5999 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6001 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6005 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6006 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6007 DH parameters contain its length).
6009 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6010 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6011 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6012 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6013 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6014 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6015 utter importance to use
6016 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6018 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6019 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6020 attacks may become possible!
6023 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6026 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6027 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6030 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6031 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6032 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6036 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6037 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6038 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6039 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6040 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6041 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6042 private key operations.
6045 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6048 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6049 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6051 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6052 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6053 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6054 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6055 the password callback is called.
6056 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6058 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6060 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6061 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6062 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6063 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6064 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6065 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6068 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6069 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6070 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6071 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6072 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6073 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6076 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6079 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6080 delete an unused file.
6083 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6084 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6085 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6086 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6089 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6090 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6091 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6095 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6096 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6097 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6099 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6100 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6101 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6102 comparison" warnings.
6103 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6106 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6107 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6108 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6111 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6112 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6114 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6115 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6117 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6118 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6119 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6121 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6122 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6123 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6124 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6125 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6127 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6129 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6130 The interface is as follows:
6131 Applications can use
6132 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6133 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6134 "off" is now the default.
6135 The library internally uses
6136 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6137 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6138 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6140 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6141 even the default) are now avoided.
6143 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6144 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6145 than just having a counter.
6147 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6149 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6153 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6154 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6155 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6156 Initial "mode" flags are:
6158 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6159 a single record has been written.
6160 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6161 retries use the same buffer location.
6162 (But all of the contents must be
6166 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6169 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6170 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6172 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6173 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6174 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6177 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6178 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6180 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6182 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6183 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6184 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6185 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6187 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6188 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6190 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6191 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6192 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6193 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6194 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6195 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6198 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6199 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6200 necessary function names.
6203 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6204 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6205 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6206 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6209 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6210 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6211 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6214 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6215 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6216 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6217 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6219 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6223 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6224 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6225 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6228 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6229 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6233 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6234 for the encoded length.
6235 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6237 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6240 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6241 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6242 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6243 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6246 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6247 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6248 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6250 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6251 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6252 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6256 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6257 to use the new extension code.
6260 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6261 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6262 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6266 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6267 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6268 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6272 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6275 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6276 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6277 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6280 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6281 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6282 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6283 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6286 *) DES library cleanups.
6289 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6290 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6291 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6292 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6293 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6297 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6298 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6301 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6302 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6303 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6304 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6305 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6306 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6307 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6308 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6309 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6312 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6313 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6314 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6315 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6316 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6317 value doesn't matter.
6320 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6324 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6325 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6326 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6327 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6329 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6332 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6333 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6334 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6336 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6337 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6339 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6342 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6345 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6348 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6352 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6354 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6356 *) Updated some demos.
6357 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6359 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6362 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6365 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6368 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6369 instead of using a fixed path.
6372 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6375 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6379 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6381 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6382 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6383 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6385 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6386 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6387 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6388 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6389 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6390 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6391 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6392 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6393 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6394 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6397 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6398 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6401 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6402 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6403 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6404 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6405 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6407 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6410 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6411 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6412 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6415 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6418 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6419 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6420 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6421 key elements as negative integers.
6424 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6425 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6428 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6430 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6431 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6432 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6435 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6436 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6437 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6438 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6439 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6442 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6445 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6446 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6447 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6450 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6451 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6452 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6454 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6455 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6456 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6457 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6458 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6459 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6460 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6461 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6462 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6464 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6465 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6466 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6467 does not influence s as it used to.
6469 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6470 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6471 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6472 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6473 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6474 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6477 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6478 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6479 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6483 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6484 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6485 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6489 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6490 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6491 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6495 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6496 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6499 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6500 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6505 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6506 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6508 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6509 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6511 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6514 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6517 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6518 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6520 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6521 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6522 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6526 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6527 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6528 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6529 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6530 now it really counts the depth.
6533 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6534 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6535 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6536 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6537 didn't match the private key).
6539 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6540 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6541 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6544 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6547 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6551 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6552 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6553 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6556 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6559 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6560 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6561 such as /usr/local/bin.
6564 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6565 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6567 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6570 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6571 extension adding in x509 utility.
6574 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6577 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6581 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6584 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6585 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6586 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6587 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6588 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6589 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6590 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6591 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6592 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6593 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6596 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6599 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6600 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6603 *) Fix some race conditions.
6606 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6607 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6610 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6613 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6614 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6615 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6616 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6618 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6619 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6621 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6622 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6623 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6625 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6626 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6628 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6631 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6632 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6634 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6637 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6638 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6640 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6641 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6644 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6645 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6648 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6649 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6652 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6653 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6656 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6657 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6660 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6661 support typesafe stack.
6664 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6665 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6667 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6668 old X509V3 handling code.
6671 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6674 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6677 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6680 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6681 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6683 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6684 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6685 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6686 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6687 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6690 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6691 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6692 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6693 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6694 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6696 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6697 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6698 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6699 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6701 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6702 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6703 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6704 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6706 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6707 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6708 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6709 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6710 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6711 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6714 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6715 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6718 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6719 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6722 *) Tweaks to Configure
6723 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6725 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6729 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6732 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6733 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6736 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6737 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6738 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6741 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6744 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6745 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6748 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6749 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6750 to library startup routines.
6753 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6754 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6755 codes along the way.
6758 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6759 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6760 objects to objects.h
6763 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6764 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6767 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6768 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6770 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6771 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6772 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6774 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6775 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6776 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6778 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6779 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6780 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6783 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6785 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6786 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6789 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6790 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6791 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6792 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6793 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6795 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6796 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6797 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6799 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6801 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6803 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6805 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6806 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6808 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6809 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6810 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6811 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6813 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6816 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6817 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6818 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6819 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6822 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6823 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6824 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6827 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6828 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6829 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6830 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6831 installed as `perl').
6832 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6834 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6835 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6837 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6838 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6839 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6840 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6841 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6844 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6847 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6848 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6849 is horrible: I feel ill....
6852 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6853 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6854 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6855 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6858 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6859 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6861 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6862 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6863 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6864 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6866 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6867 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6868 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6869 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6870 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6871 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6875 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6876 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6878 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6879 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6881 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6884 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6885 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6889 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6890 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6891 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6892 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6893 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6894 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6895 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6896 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6897 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6898 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6899 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6901 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6904 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6905 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6906 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6907 for linking it into DSOs.
6908 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6910 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6914 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6915 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6916 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6917 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6918 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6919 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6921 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6922 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6923 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6924 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6925 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6926 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6927 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6929 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6930 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6931 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6935 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6936 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6937 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6938 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6941 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6942 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6943 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6944 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6945 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6949 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6950 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6951 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6952 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6953 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6955 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6956 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6957 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6959 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6960 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6962 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6963 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6964 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6965 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6966 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6969 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6970 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6971 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6972 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6973 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6974 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6975 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6978 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6980 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6981 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6984 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6985 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6987 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6988 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6991 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6992 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6993 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6994 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6995 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6997 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6998 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6999 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7000 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7001 no way to reconfigure them.
7002 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7003 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7004 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7005 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7006 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7007 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7009 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7010 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7011 recognized by the users.
7012 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7014 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7015 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7016 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7017 already masked variable.
7018 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7020 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7021 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7023 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7024 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7025 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7026 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7028 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7029 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7030 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7032 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7033 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7034 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7035 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7036 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7037 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7038 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7039 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7041 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7043 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7044 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7045 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7047 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7048 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7052 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7053 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7055 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7056 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7057 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7058 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7061 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7064 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7065 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7067 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7070 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7071 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7074 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7075 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7078 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7079 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7080 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7081 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7082 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7083 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7084 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7087 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7088 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7090 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7091 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7092 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7093 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7094 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7096 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7097 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7098 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7101 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7102 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7106 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7107 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7108 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7110 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7111 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7112 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7116 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7117 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7118 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7119 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7122 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7123 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7124 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7125 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7128 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7129 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7130 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7131 so it wasn't spotted.
7132 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7134 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7135 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7136 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7137 vectors if you have them.
7140 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7141 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7144 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7145 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7146 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7147 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7149 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7150 it will update them.
7153 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7154 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7155 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7156 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7157 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7158 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7159 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7160 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7162 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7163 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7164 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7165 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7166 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7167 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7168 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7169 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7170 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7171 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7173 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7174 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7175 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7176 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7177 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7180 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7184 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7185 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7187 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7188 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7190 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7191 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7194 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7195 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7197 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7198 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7200 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7203 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7207 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7208 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7209 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7210 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7212 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7215 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7218 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7221 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7222 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7225 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7226 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7230 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7231 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7234 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7235 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7236 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7239 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7240 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7241 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7242 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7243 properly to be processed.
7246 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7247 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7248 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7251 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7252 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7254 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7255 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7256 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7257 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7258 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7259 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7260 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7261 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7262 or delete all the .err files.
7265 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7266 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7267 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7268 to regenerate it if needed.
7269 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7270 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7272 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7273 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7275 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7276 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7277 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7278 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7279 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7282 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7283 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7285 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7286 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7288 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7289 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7290 error, but didn't set one).
7291 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7293 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7296 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7297 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7300 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7301 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7303 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7304 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7305 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7306 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7307 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7308 OID is not part of the table.
7311 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7312 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7315 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7318 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7319 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7323 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7324 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7326 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7328 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7330 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7331 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7333 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7334 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7336 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7337 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7339 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7340 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7343 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7344 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7347 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7348 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7350 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7351 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7353 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7354 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7356 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7357 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7359 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7360 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7361 unused in the certificate verification process.
7362 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7364 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7365 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7368 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7369 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7370 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7372 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7373 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7374 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7375 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7376 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7378 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7379 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7382 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7385 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7388 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7389 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7391 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7394 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7397 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7400 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7401 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7402 other error libraries.
7405 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7408 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7409 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7413 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7414 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7415 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7416 the new set of documenation files.
7417 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7419 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7420 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7421 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7422 number of arguments.
7423 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7425 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7428 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7429 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7430 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7432 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7435 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7439 unixware-2.0-pentium
7443 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7444 before they are needed.
7447 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7451 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7453 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7454 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7455 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7457 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7460 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7461 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7462 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7464 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7465 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7466 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7468 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7469 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7470 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7472 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7473 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7475 *) Updated the README file.
7476 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7478 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7479 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7480 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7482 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7483 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7484 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7486 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7487 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7488 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7489 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7490 o removed obsolete TODO file
7491 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7492 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7494 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7495 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7496 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

7499 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7500 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7502 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7505 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7506 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7507 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7509 [The OpenSSL Project]
7512 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7514 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7517 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7520 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7521 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7524 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7525 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7529 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7531 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7533 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7536 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7539 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7542 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7545 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7548 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7551 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7554 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7557 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7560 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7563 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7566 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7569 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7572 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7575 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7578 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7581 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7584 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7585 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7586 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7589 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7590 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7593 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7596 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7599 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7600 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7603 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7606 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7609 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7610 bytes sent in the client random.
