5 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
8 it yet and it is largely untested.
11 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
14 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
15 when OPENSSL_NO_FCAST is set: some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject
16 their use. Safestack is reimplemented using inline functions: tests show
17 that these calls are typically optimized away by compilers so they have
18 no additional overhead. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
21 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
24 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
25 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
26 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
27 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
30 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
31 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
32 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
33 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
34 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
37 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
38 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
41 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
42 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
43 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
44 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
47 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
48 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
49 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
50 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
53 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
54 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
57 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
58 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
59 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
60 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
63 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
64 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
65 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
68 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
72 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
73 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
76 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
77 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
78 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
82 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
83 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
84 to free up any added signature OIDs.
87 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
88 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
89 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
90 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
93 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
94 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
95 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
96 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
97 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
98 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
99 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
100 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
102 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
103 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
104 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
106 we now have additional functions
108 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
109 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
110 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
112 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
113 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
117 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
118 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
119 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
120 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
121 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
122 the array representation useful in a more general context.
125 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
126 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
127 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
128 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
129 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
131 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
132 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
133 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
134 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
135 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
138 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
139 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
140 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
141 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
143 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
144 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
145 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
146 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
147 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
153 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
154 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
158 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
159 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
162 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
163 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
166 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
167 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
168 functional reference processing.
171 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
172 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
176 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
177 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
178 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
181 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
182 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
183 application to support multiple signers.
186 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
190 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
191 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
192 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
193 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
194 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
197 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
201 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
202 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
203 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
204 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
208 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
209 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
210 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
211 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
212 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
213 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
214 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
215 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
218 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
219 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
220 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
221 between digests and public key types.
224 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
225 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
226 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
227 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
230 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
231 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
235 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
238 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
242 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
243 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
244 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
245 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
250 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
252 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
254 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
256 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
257 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
258 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
259 functionality for RSA.
262 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
263 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
264 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
267 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
268 key API, doesn't do much yet.
271 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
272 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
273 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
276 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
277 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
280 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
281 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
284 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
285 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
289 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
290 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
291 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
295 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
296 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
297 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
298 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
299 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
300 of public and private key structures.
303 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
304 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
307 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
308 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
309 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
312 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
316 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
317 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
319 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
321 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
323 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
324 and response verification functionality.
325 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
327 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
328 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
329 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
330 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
331 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
332 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
333 server_name extension.
335 New functions (subject to change):
338 SSL_get_servername_type()
341 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
343 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
344 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
345 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
346 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
347 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
349 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
351 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
352 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
353 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
354 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
355 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
356 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
359 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
361 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
364 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
365 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
366 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
367 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
368 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
371 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
372 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
376 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
377 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
378 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
379 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
382 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
383 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
384 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
385 using the maximum available value.
388 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
389 in addition to the text details.
392 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
393 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
394 handle several customised structures at all.
397 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
398 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
399 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
402 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
405 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
406 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
407 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
410 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
411 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
412 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
415 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
416 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
420 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
423 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
426 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [XX xxx XXXX]
428 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
429 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
430 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
431 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
432 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
433 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
436 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
437 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
438 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
439 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
440 message has informed the client about his choice.)
443 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
444 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
446 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
447 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
448 Improve header file function name parsing.
451 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
453 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
454 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
455 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
457 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
458 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
460 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
461 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
463 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
464 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
465 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
467 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
468 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
469 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
470 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
471 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
472 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
473 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
474 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
475 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
477 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
478 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
479 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
480 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
481 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
483 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
484 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
485 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
486 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
487 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
488 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
489 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
490 multiple values to extend the available space.
494 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
496 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
497 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
499 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
502 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
503 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
504 undesirable limitations.
505 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
507 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
508 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
509 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
510 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
511 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
512 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
513 to avoid potential handshake problems.
516 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
518 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
519 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
520 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
522 The latter two were purportedly from
523 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
526 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
527 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
528 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
531 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
532 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
535 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
536 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
537 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
538 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
540 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
541 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
542 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
545 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
546 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
547 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
548 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
549 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
550 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
553 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
555 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
556 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
559 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
560 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
562 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
563 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
564 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
565 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
568 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
569 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
572 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
573 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
574 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
575 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
576 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
577 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
578 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
582 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
583 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
584 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
585 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
588 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
589 under VC++ build system.
592 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
593 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
596 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
598 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
599 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
600 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
601 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
602 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
604 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
605 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
606 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
608 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
611 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
612 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
615 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
616 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
618 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
621 *) Extended Windows CE support.
622 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
624 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
625 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
628 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
629 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
633 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
635 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
638 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
641 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
642 key into the same file any more.
645 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
648 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
649 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
651 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
652 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
655 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
656 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
657 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
658 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
659 this only applies when building 'shared'.
660 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
662 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
663 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
664 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
667 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
668 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
669 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
670 - add new function for parameter creation
671 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
672 BN_BLINDING parameters
673 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
674 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
675 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
679 *) Add support for DTLS.
680 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
682 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
683 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
686 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
687 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
690 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
691 the apps/openssl applications.
694 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
695 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
696 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
699 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
700 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
702 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
703 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
705 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
706 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
707 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
708 avoid this algorithm.)
712 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
713 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
714 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
717 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
718 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
721 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
722 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
723 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
726 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
728 The blank line is mandatory.
732 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
733 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
737 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
738 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
740 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
741 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
742 to support policy checking and print out.
745 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
746 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
747 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
748 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
750 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
753 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
754 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
756 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
757 implementation contributed by IBM.
758 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
760 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
761 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
762 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
763 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
765 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
766 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
768 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
769 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
770 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
771 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
772 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
773 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
776 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
777 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
778 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
779 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
780 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
781 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
782 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
785 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
788 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
789 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
790 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
791 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
792 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
793 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
794 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
795 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
798 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
799 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
800 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
801 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
804 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
807 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
810 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
811 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
812 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
813 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
814 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
815 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
819 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
820 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
823 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
824 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
825 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
828 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
829 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
830 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
834 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
835 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
838 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
839 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
840 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
841 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
844 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
845 initialised value as BN_new().
846 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
848 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
851 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
852 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
853 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
854 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
855 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
856 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
857 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
858 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
859 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
860 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
861 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
862 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
863 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
864 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
865 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
867 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
868 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
869 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
870 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
873 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
874 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
875 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
876 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
877 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
878 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
879 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
880 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
881 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
884 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
885 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
886 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
887 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
888 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
889 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
890 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
893 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
894 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
895 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
896 these have been updated also.
899 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
900 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
901 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
902 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
903 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
907 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
908 structure of type "other".
911 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
912 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
913 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
914 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
915 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
916 situation in the script.
917 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
919 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
920 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
921 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
922 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
923 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
924 used as premaster secret.
925 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
927 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
928 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
929 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
931 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
932 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
934 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
935 control of the error stack.
938 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
941 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
942 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
943 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
944 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
947 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
948 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
949 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
952 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
953 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
954 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
958 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
959 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
960 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
961 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
964 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
965 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
966 the following flags are defined:
968 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
969 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
970 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
973 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
974 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
975 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
976 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
980 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
981 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
982 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
983 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
984 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
987 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
988 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
989 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
992 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
993 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
994 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
995 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
996 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
997 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1000 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1004 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1007 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1010 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1013 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1014 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1015 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1016 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1017 default implementation more easily.
1020 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1024 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1025 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1028 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1029 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1030 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1031 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1033 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1034 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1035 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1036 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1039 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1040 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1044 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1045 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1046 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1047 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1048 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1049 scalar * generator).
1050 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1052 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1053 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1054 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1058 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1059 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1060 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1061 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1062 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1063 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1064 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1065 linker additions, eg;
1066 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1069 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1070 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1071 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1074 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1075 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1076 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1080 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1081 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1082 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1083 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1086 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1087 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1088 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1089 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1090 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1091 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1092 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1093 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1094 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1095 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1097 Example for using the new callback interface:
1099 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1103 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1105 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1106 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1107 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1108 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1109 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1110 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1115 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1116 available to TLS with the number defined in
1117 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1120 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1121 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1123 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1124 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1125 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1126 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1128 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1129 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1131 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1132 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1136 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1137 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1140 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1141 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1142 and a macro that behave like
1143 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1145 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1148 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1149 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1150 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1152 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1154 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1157 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1158 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1159 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1160 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1162 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1163 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1164 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1165 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1166 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1167 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1168 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1169 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1171 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1172 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1175 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1176 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1178 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1179 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1180 files while avoiding the low level API.
1182 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1183 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1184 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1185 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1187 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1188 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1189 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1190 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1191 instead of the low level API.
1194 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1195 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1196 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1197 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1198 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1201 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1202 down to the template encoder.
1205 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1206 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1209 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1210 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1211 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1212 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1214 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1215 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1217 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1218 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1220 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1221 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1224 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1225 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1226 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1229 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1230 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1232 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1233 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1235 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1236 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1239 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1243 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1244 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1245 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1246 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1247 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1248 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1250 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1251 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1254 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1255 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1256 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1257 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1258 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1259 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1260 various internal method names.)
1262 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1263 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1265 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1266 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1268 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1269 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1271 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1272 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1273 methods are undefined.
1275 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1276 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1278 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1279 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1280 length of the modulus.
1282 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1283 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1285 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1286 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1288 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1289 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1291 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1292 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1293 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1296 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1297 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1298 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1299 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1301 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1302 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1303 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1304 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1306 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1307 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1309 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1310 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1311 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1312 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1313 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1315 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1316 This applies to the following functions:
1321 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1322 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1324 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1325 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1329 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1334 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1336 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1337 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1338 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1339 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1340 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1342 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1343 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1345 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1346 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1347 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1349 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1350 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1352 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1353 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1354 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1355 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1356 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1358 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1360 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1361 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1362 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1363 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1364 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1365 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1366 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1367 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1368 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1369 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1370 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1371 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1373 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1376 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1377 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1378 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1379 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1381 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1382 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1383 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1384 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1389 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1390 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1391 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1392 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1393 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1395 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1396 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1397 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1398 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1399 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1400 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1401 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1402 adding different types of curves.
1403 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1405 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1406 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1407 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1410 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1411 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1413 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1414 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1415 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1416 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1418 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1420 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1421 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1423 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1424 library. Most notably,
1425 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1426 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1427 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1428 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1429 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1430 extracted before the specific public key;
1431 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1432 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1434 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1435 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1437 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1438 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1439 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1440 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1442 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1443 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1444 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1446 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1447 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1448 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1449 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1450 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1451 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1455 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [xx XXX xxxx]
1457 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1458 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1459 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1460 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1461 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1464 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1465 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1468 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1470 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1471 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1472 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1474 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1475 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1477 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1478 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1480 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1481 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1482 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1484 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1485 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1486 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1487 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1488 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1489 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1490 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1493 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1495 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1496 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1498 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1499 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1500 undesirable limitations.
1501 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1503 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1505 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1506 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1507 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1509 The latter two were purportedly from
1510 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1513 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1514 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1515 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1518 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1519 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1522 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1524 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1525 module in FIPS mode.
1528 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1531 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1532 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1533 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1534 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1537 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1539 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1540 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1541 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1542 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1543 the difference induced by this change.
1546 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1548 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1549 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1550 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1551 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1552 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1554 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1555 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1556 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1558 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1559 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1562 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1563 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1564 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1565 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1569 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1570 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1571 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1572 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1573 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1575 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1576 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1577 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1578 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1579 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1580 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1582 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1584 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1585 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1586 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1587 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1588 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1591 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1595 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1596 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1597 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1600 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1601 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1602 structures constant.
1605 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1607 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1610 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1611 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1612 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1613 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1614 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1615 some needed definitions.
1618 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1621 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1622 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1623 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1624 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1627 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1629 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1630 server and client random values. Previously
1631 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1632 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1634 This change has negligible security impact because:
1636 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1639 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1642 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1643 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1646 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1649 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1651 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1654 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1655 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1656 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1658 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1661 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1662 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1665 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1666 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1667 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1669 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1672 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1673 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1674 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1678 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1679 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1680 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1681 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1683 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1684 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1685 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1686 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1690 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1692 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1693 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1694 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1695 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1696 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1699 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1702 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1703 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1705 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1706 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1707 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1708 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1709 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1710 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1711 rather than being initialized to 1.
1714 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1716 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1717 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1718 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1720 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1722 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1724 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1725 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1726 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1727 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1728 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1729 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1732 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1733 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1734 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1735 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1736 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1740 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1741 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1742 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1743 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1744 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1747 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1748 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1749 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1753 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1754 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1756 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1759 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1761 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1763 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1764 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1766 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1768 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1769 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1773 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1774 exiting on the first error in a request.
1777 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1778 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1782 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1783 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1784 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1785 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1787 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1788 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1791 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1792 blocks during encryption.
1795 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1796 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1797 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1798 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1802 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1803 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1804 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1805 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1806 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1810 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1812 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1813 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1814 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1815 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1818 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1819 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1820 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1821 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1822 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1824 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1825 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1826 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1827 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1828 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1829 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1830 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1831 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1832 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1835 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1836 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1837 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1838 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1841 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1842 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1845 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1847 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1848 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1849 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1850 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1851 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1853 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1854 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1855 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1857 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1858 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1859 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1860 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1861 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1863 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1864 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1865 used by default when no-err is given.
1868 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1869 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1871 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1872 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1873 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1874 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1875 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1877 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1878 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1879 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1880 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1882 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1884 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1886 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1888 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1889 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1890 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1891 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1895 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1896 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1898 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1899 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1902 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1903 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1904 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1905 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1908 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1909 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1910 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1911 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1912 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1913 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1914 followup to PR #377.
1917 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1918 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1921 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1922 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1923 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1945 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1946 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1947 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1948 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1949 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1950 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1952 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1953 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1954 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1955 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1956 have to be made anyway).
1959 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1960 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1961 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1964 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1965 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1966 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1969 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1970 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1971 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

1975 edit numbers of the version.

2067 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

2081 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2082 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2083 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2085 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2086 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2087 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2089 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2090 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2091 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2092 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2094 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2095 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2096 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2099 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2100 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2101 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2102 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2103 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2104 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2105 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2106 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2109 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2110 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2111 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2114 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2115 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2116 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2117 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2118 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2120 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2121 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2123 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2124 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2127 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2128 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2129 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2130 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2131 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2132 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2135 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2136 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2137 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2140 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2141 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2144 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2145 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2146 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2147 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2148 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2149 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2150 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2153 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2154 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2155 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2156 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2157 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2158 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2161 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2162 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2163 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2164 declaration has been changed from
2167 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2168 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2169 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2170 has been changed into
2171 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2173 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2174 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2175 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2177 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2178 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2180 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2181 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2182 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2183 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2184 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2185 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2186 always load it have also been added.
2189 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2190 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2191 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2193 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2195 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2196 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2197 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2199 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2200 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2201 command line option can be used to specify an
2205 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2206 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2209 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2210 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2211 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2214 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2215 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2216 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2217 to work with the new engine framework.
2218 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2220 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2221 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2222 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2223 to work with the new engine framework.
2226 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2227 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2228 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2230 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2231 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2233 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2234 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2235 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2236 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant

2240 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2241 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2243 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2244 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2246 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2247 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2248 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2251 *) Add new functions
2253 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2254 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2255 These are similar to
2258 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2259 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2260 still in the error queue.
2261 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2263 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2265 default_algorithms = ALL
2266 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2269 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2272 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2275 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2276 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2277 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2278 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2280 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2281 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2283 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2284 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2286 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2287 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2290 *) New functions/macros
2292 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2293 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2294 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2295 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2297 to request calling a callback function
2299 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2300 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2302 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2303 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2304 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2305 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2306 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2307 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2308 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2309 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2310 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2311 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2313 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2314 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2317 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2318 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2319 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2320 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2321 the configuration scripts.
2323 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2324 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2325 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2327 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2328 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2330 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2331 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2332 when reusing an existing buffer.
2335 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2336 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2339 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2340 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2343 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2344 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2345 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2346 has the same effect.
2347 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2349 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2350 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2351 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2352 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2353 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2354 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2357 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2358 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2359 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2360 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2362 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2363 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2364 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2365 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2367 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2368 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2371 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2372 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2373 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2374 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2375 default), and then completely removed.
2378 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2379 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2380 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2381 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2382 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2383 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2384 particular extension is supported.
2387 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2388 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2391 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2392 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2393 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2394 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2395 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2396 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2397 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2398 requires the destination to be valid.
2400 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2401 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2404 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2405 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2406 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2409 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2410 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2412 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2413 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2414 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2415 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2416 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2417 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2418 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2419 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2420 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2421 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2422 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2423 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2424 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2425 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2426 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2427 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2428 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2429 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2430 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2434 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2437 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2438 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2439 become part of libeay.num as well.
2442 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2443 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2444 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2445 false once a handshake has been completed.
2446 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2447 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2448 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2449 client has followed the request.)
2452 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2453 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2454 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2455 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2457 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2458 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2459 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2462 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2465 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2466 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2467 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2470 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2471 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2474 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2475 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2476 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2477 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2480 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2481 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2482 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2483 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2484 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2485 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2488 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2489 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2490 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2491 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2492 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2493 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2494 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2495 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2498 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2499 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2502 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2505 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2506 md_data void pointer.
2509 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2510 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2511 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2512 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2513 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2514 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2517 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2518 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2519 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2520 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2521 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2522 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2523 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2524 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2525 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2526 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2527 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2528 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2529 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2530 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2531 rather than letting it slide.
2533 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2534 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2535 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2538 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2539 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2540 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2541 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2542 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2543 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2544 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2545 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2546 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2549 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2550 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2551 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2552 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2553 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2555 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2558 *) Add EVP test program.
2561 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2564 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2565 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2566 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2567 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2568 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2571 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2572 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2573 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2574 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2575 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2576 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2577 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2579 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2580 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2581 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2586 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2587 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2588 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2589 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2590 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2594 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2595 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2596 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2597 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2600 des_key_schedule ks;
2602 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2603 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2605 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2608 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2609 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2610 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2611 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2612 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2613 functions prevents this.
2616 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2619 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2620 correct _ecb suffix.
2623 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2624 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2625 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2626 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2627 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2630 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2633 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2634 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2635 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2636 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2638 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2639 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2641 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2642 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2643 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2644 via Richard Levitte]
2646 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2647 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2648 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2649 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2652 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2655 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2656 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2670 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2671 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2673 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2674 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2675 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2676 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2677 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2678 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2681 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2682 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2685 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2686 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2687 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2688 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2690 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2691 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2692 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2693 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2694 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2695 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2699 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2700 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2701 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2702 and interrupts/cancellations.
2705 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2706 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2709 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2710 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2711 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2713 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2714 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2718 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2719 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2720 than this minimum value is recommended.
2723 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2724 that are easily reachable.
2727 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2728 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2730 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2732 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2733 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2734 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2735 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2738 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2739 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2740 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2743 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2744 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2745 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2746 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2747 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2748 internally such as S/MIME.
2750 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2751 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2752 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2754 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2758 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2759 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2760 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2761 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2763 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2765 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2767 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2768 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2769 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2773 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2774 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2775 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2776 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2777 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2778 a window system and the like.
2781 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2782 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2785 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2786 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2787 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2788 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2789 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2790 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2791 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2792 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2793 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2797 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2798 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2802 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2803 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2804 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2805 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2806 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2807 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2808 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2809 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2812 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2813 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2814 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2815 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2816 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2817 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2818 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2819 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2820 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2821 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2822 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2823 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2824 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2825 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2826 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2827 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2828 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2831 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2832 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2833 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2834 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2835 internal engine_int.h header.
2838 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2839 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2840 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2841 modify their own ones).
2844 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2845 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2846 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2847 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2848 later on via ctrl() commands.
2849 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2850 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2851 structural references.
2852 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2853 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2854 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2855 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2856 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2857 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2858 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2859 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2860 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2861 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2862 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2863 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2866 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2867 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2868 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2869 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2870 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2871 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2872 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2873 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2876 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2877 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2880 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2881 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2884 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2885 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2886 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2887 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2888 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2889 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2890 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2893 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2894 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2895 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2896 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2897 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2899 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2900 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2904 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2906 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2907 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2908 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2910 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2911 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2913 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2914 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2915 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2917 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2918 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2920 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2921 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2923 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2925 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2926 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2927 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2930 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2931 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2934 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2935 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2936 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2937 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2938 is 40 of more characters long.
2941 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2942 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2946 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2947 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2950 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2951 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2955 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2957 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2958 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2961 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2963 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2964 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2965 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2967 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2968 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2970 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2973 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2977 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2978 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2979 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2980 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2982 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2984 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2985 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2987 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2988 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2989 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2990 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2991 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2992 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2994 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2995 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2997 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2998 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3000 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3001 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3003 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3004 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3005 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3006 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3008 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3009 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3011 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3012 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3014 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3015 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3016 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3017 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3018 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3021 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3022 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3023 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3024 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3027 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3028 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3029 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3033 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3034 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3035 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3036 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3037 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3038 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3039 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3040 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3044 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3045 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3048 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3049 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3050 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3051 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3054 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3055 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3056 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3057 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3058 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3059 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3060 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3061 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3062 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3063 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3066 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3067 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3068 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3069 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3070 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3071 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3072 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3073 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3075 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3076 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3077 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3078 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3081 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3082 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3083 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3084 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3086 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3087 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3088 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3089 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3090 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3094 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3095 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3096 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3097 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3101 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3102 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3103 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3106 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3107 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3108 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3109 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3110 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3113 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3116 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3117 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3118 option to ocsp utility.
3121 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3122 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3123 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3124 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3125 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3126 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3127 the request is nonce-less.
3130 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3131 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3132 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3135 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3136 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3137 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3140 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3141 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3142 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3143 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3144 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3147 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3148 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3152 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3153 additional certificates supplied.
3156 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3157 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3161 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3162 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3165 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3166 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3167 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3168 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3169 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3170 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3171 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3172 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3173 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3175 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3176 request to response.
3179 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3180 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3181 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3182 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3183 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3184 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3185 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3186 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3187 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3188 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3189 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3192 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3193 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3194 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3195 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3198 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3199 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3201 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3202 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3203 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3206 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3207 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3208 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3209 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3210 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3212 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3213 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3214 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3217 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3218 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3219 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3220 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3221 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3222 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3223 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3224 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3226 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3227 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3228 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3229 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3230 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3231 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3234 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3235 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3236 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3237 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3238 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3239 printout format cleaned up.
3242 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3243 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3244 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3245 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3246 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3247 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3248 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3249 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3252 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3253 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3254 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3255 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3256 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3257 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3258 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3259 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3262 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3263 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3264 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3265 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3267 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3269 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3270 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3271 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3272 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3275 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3276 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3277 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3278 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3280 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3282 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3283 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3284 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3285 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3287 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3288 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3290 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3291 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3292 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3295 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3296 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3297 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3300 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3301 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3302 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3303 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3304 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3305 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3306 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3307 functions are provided:
3309 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3310 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3311 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3312 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3314 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3315 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3316 extended allocation function is enabled.
3317 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3318 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3319 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3321 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3322 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3323 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3324 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3325 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3328 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3329 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3330 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3332 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3333 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3334 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3337 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3338 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3339 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3340 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3341 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3342 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3343 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3344 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3345 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3348 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3349 provide utility functions which an application needing
3350 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3351 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3352 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3354 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3355 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3356 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3357 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3358 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3359 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3360 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3361 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3362 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3364 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3365 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3366 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3367 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3370 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3371 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3372 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3373 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3374 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3375 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3376 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3377 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3378 will be added elsewhere.
3381 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3382 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3383 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3384 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3387 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3388 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3389 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3390 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3391 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3392 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3393 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3394 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3395 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3396 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3397 to produce the required SET OF.
3400 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3401 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3402 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3405 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3406 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3407 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3408 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3409 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3410 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3413 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3414 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3415 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3418 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3419 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3420 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3423 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3424 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3425 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3426 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3427 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3430 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3431 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3434 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3435 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3436 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3437 certifcates and CRLs.
3440 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3441 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3442 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3445 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3446 entries for variables.
3449 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3450 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3451 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3452 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3455 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3456 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3457 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3458 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3459 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3460 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3463 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3464 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3466 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3467 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3468 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3471 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3475 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3476 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3477 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3478 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3479 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3480 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3483 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3486 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3487 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3488 for now but they will eventually go away.
3491 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3492 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3493 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3494 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3495 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3496 has also been converted to the new form.
3499 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3500 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3501 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3502 for negative moduli.
3505 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3506 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3509 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3513 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3514 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3515 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3516 type-specific callbacks.
3519 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3521 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3522 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3524 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3525 in sections depending on the subject.
3528 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3532 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3533 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3534 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3535 be handled deterministically).
3536 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3538 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3539 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3540 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3543 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3546 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3547 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3548 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3549 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3550 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3553 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3554 sign of the number in question.
3556 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3558 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3559 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3560 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3561 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3562 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3565 *) New function BN_swap.
3568 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3569 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3570 results on negative inputs.
3573 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3574 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3575 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3578 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3579 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3580 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3581 and add new functions:
3590 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3594 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3596 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3597 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3599 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3600 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3601 be reduced modulo m.
3602 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3605 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3606 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3607 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3609 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3610 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3611 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3612 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3613 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3614 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3619 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3620 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3621 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3622 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3623 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3625 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3626 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3627 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3631 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3634 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3635 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3638 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3639 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3640 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3641 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3645 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3648 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3651 *) Add the following functions:
3653 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3655 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3657 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3659 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3660 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3661 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3662 libraries unless it's really needed.
3664 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3665 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3666 declarations (they differed!).
3669 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3672 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3675 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3678 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3679 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3682 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3683 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3684 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3686 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3687 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3690 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3693 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3696 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3699 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3700 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3701 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3703 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3704 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3705 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3706 different shared library filenames on each system.
3709 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3712 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3713 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3714 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3716 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3719 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3720 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3721 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3722 binary backward compatibility.
3723 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3724 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3725 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3729 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3730 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3731 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3732 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3736 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3739 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3740 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3741 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3742 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3746 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3749 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3751 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3752 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3753 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3755 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3757 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3759 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3760 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3763 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3765 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3767 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3768 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3770 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3771 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3775 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3776 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3780 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3781 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3782 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3783 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3785 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3786 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3789 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3791 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3792 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3793 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3794 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3797 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3798 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3799 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3800 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3801 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3803 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3804 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3805 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3806 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3807 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3808 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3809 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3810 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3811 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3814 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3816 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3817 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3818 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3819 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3820 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3822 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3823 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3824 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3826 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3828 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3829 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3830 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3831 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3832 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3833 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3836 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3837 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3838 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3839 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3840 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3843 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3844 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3845 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3847 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3848 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3849 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3853 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3854 being properly terminated.
3857 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3858 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3859 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3860 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3862 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3863 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3864 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3865 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3866 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3867 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3868 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3870 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3872 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3873 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3876 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3877 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3878 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3879 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3880 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3881 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3882 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3883 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3885 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3886 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3887 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3888 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3889 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3891 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3892 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3895 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3897 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3898 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3899 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3901 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3903 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3904 and get fix the header length calculation.
3905 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3906 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3909 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3910 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3911 assertions could call abort()).
3912 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3914 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3916 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3917 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3918 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3920 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3922 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3923 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3924 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3927 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3931 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3932 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3933 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3935 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3936 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3937 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3938 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3939 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3943 *) Changes in security patch:
3945 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3946 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3947 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3950 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3951 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3952 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3953 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3954 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3956 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3958 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3960 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3961 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3962 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3964 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3965 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3966 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3968 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3969 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3970 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3972 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3974 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3975 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3976 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3978 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3979 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3981 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3982 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3983 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3984 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3985 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3986 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3989 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3990 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3991 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3992 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3995 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3998 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3999 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4000 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4001 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4002 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4003 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4005 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4006 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4007 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4008 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4009 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4012 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4013 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4014 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4015 BN_generate_prime().)
4017 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4018 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4019 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4023 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4024 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4027 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4028 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4029 when using non-blocking I/O.
4030 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4032 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4033 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4035 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4036 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4039 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4040 configuration for the versions before that.
4041 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4043 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4044 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4045 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4046 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4049 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4050 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4051 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4054 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4058 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4059 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4060 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4062 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4063 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4065 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4066 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4067 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4068 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4069 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4070 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4071 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4074 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4075 using a local variable.
4076 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4078 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4079 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4080 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4082 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4085 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4086 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4088 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4089 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4090 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4092 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4094 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4095 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4096 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4097 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4100 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4104 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4105 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4106 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4107 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4108 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4110 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4111 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4112 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4114 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4115 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4116 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4118 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4119 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4120 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4121 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4123 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4124 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4125 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4127 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4129 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4130 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4132 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4134 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4135 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4136 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4137 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4139 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4140 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4141 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4142 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4144 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4145 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4147 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4148 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4149 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4152 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4153 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4154 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4156 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4158 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4159 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4160 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4161 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4162 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4163 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4164 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4167 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4168 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4169 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4170 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4172 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4173 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4174 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4175 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4176 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4177 the client will at least see that alert.
4180 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4184 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4185 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4186 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4188 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4189 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4190 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4191 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4194 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4195 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4196 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4198 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4199 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4200 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4201 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4202 may leak via logfiles.)
4204 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4205 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4206 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4207 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4211 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4212 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4215 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4216 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4217 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4218 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4219 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4222 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
