5 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
8 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
9 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
10 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
11 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
14 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
15 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
16 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
17 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
18 to set list of supported curves.
21 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
22 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
23 to print out received values.
26 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
27 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
28 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
31 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
32 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
35 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
36 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
39 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
43 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
44 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
45 the new parameter format automatically.
48 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
49 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
52 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
55 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
56 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
60 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
61 sign or verify all in one operation.
64 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
65 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
66 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
69 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
72 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
75 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
76 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
77 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
78 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
79 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
82 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
86 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
87 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
88 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
91 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
92 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
95 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
98 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
99 POST to handle HMAC cases.
102 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
103 to return numberical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
106 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
107 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implmeneted
108 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
111 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
112 there is no mutiple of the block length between min_len and
113 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
114 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
115 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
116 requested amount of entropy.
119 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
120 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
123 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
124 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
125 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
129 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
130 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
131 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
134 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
135 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
136 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
137 will never use XTS mode.
140 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
141 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
142 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
143 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
144 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
145 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
148 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
149 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
150 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
151 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
154 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
155 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
156 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
159 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
162 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
165 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
166 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
169 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
170 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
173 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
174 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
177 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
178 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
179 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
180 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
181 and rename any affected symbols.
184 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
185 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
188 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
189 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
190 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
193 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
196 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
197 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
198 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
201 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
202 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
205 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
206 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
207 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
208 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
209 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
210 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
214 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
215 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
216 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
217 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
218 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
219 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
220 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
221 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
224 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
225 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
228 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
230 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
231 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
233 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
234 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
235 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
236 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
237 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
238 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
240 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
241 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
242 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
244 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
246 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
247 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
248 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
251 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
252 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
255 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
256 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
257 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
258 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
261 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
265 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
266 Add CMAC pkey methods.
269 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
270 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
271 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
274 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
275 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
276 multi-process servers.
279 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
280 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
281 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
282 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
283 RAND_METHOD structure.
286 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
287 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
288 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
289 whose return value is often ignored.
293 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [xx XXX xxxx]
295 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
296 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
299 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
303 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
305 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
306 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
307 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
308 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
309 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
310 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
311 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
312 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
313 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
314 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
317 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
318 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
319 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
320 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
321 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
322 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
326 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
328 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
329 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
330 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
332 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
333 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
335 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
337 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
340 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
341 record length exceeds 255 bytes:
343 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
344 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
345 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
346 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
347 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
348 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
349 Most broken servers should now work.
350 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
351 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
354 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
357 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
359 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
360 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
363 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
364 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
365 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
366 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
367 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
370 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
371 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
374 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
375 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
376 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
377 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
378 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
381 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
382 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
384 *) Add support for SCTP.
385 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
387 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
388 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
390 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
392 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
393 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
394 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
395 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
396 - s390x: z196 support;
397 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
401 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
402 (removal of unnecessary code)
403 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
405 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
408 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
411 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
412 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
413 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
415 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
417 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
418 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
419 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
420 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
421 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
423 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
424 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
425 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
427 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
428 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
429 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
431 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
432 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
434 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
436 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
437 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
438 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
441 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
442 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
446 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
447 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
448 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
451 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
452 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
453 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
454 the appropriate parameters.
457 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
458 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
459 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
460 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
461 against a number of sample certificates.
464 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
465 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
467 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
468 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
470 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
471 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
475 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
479 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
480 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
481 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
485 *) Session-handling fixes:
486 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
487 but also support Session Tickets.
488 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
489 presented a ticket with an expired session.
490 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
491 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
492 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
493 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
495 *) Fix PSK session representation.
498 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
500 This work was sponsored by Intel.
503 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
504 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
505 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
506 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
507 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
510 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
511 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
514 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
515 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
516 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
519 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
520 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
521 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
522 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
525 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
526 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
527 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
530 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
531 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
533 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
536 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
537 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
540 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
543 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
544 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
547 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
548 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
551 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
554 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
555 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
556 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
559 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
562 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
565 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
566 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
569 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
570 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
571 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
574 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
577 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
581 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
582 FIPS modules versions.
585 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
586 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
587 until after the certificate request message is received.
590 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
591 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
592 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
593 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
596 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
597 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
598 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
599 support yet and no support for client certificates.
602 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
603 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
604 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
605 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
606 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
607 and version checking.
610 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
611 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
612 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
613 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
617 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
619 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
622 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
623 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
624 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
626 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
627 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
628 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
631 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
632 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
634 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
635 a few changes are required:
637 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
639 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
640 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
641 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
644 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
646 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
647 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
648 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
649 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
650 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
651 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
652 an MMA defence is not necessary.
653 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
654 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
657 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
658 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
659 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
662 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
664 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
665 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
666 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
667 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
670 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
672 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
673 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
674 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
675 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
676 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
677 paper describing this attack can be found at:
678 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
679 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
680 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
681 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
682 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
683 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
684 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
686 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
688 [Adam Langley (Google)]
690 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
691 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
692 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
693 [Adam Langley (Google)]
695 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
696 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
698 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
699 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
700 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
701 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
703 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
704 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
706 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
707 [Adam Langley (Google)]
709 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
710 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
712 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
713 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
714 [Adam Langley (Google)]
716 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
717 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
718 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
720 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
721 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
722 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
723 the last update always remained unused).
724 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
726 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
727 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
729 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
731 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
732 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
733 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
735 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
736 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
737 [Adam Langley (Google)]
739 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
742 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
743 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
744 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
747 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
748 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
750 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
752 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
754 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
756 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
757 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
759 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
760 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
764 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
766 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
767 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
768 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
771 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
772 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
773 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
776 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
778 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
779 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
780 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
783 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
787 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
789 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
791 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
793 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
795 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
796 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
797 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
800 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
803 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
804 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
805 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
807 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
808 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
809 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
812 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
813 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
816 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
817 some responders need this.
820 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
822 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
824 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
825 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
826 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
829 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
832 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
833 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
834 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
835 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
836 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
837 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
838 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
839 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
842 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
843 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
844 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
845 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
847 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
848 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
850 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
854 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
855 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
856 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
857 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
858 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
859 attempting to work them out.
862 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
863 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
864 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
865 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
868 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
869 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
870 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
871 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
872 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
875 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
876 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
883 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
885 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
889 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
890 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
892 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
893 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
895 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
896 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
897 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
898 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
899 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
902 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
903 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
904 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
907 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
908 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
911 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
912 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
914 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
915 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
918 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
921 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
922 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
923 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
927 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
928 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
929 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
930 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
931 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
932 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
935 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
936 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
938 This work was sponsored by Google.
941 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
942 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
943 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
944 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
945 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
946 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
947 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
950 This work was sponsored by Google.
953 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
955 This work was sponsored by Google.
958 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
959 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
960 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
961 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
963 This work was sponsored by Google.
966 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
967 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
968 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
969 CRL functionality in future.
971 This work was sponsored by Google.
974 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
976 This work was sponsored by Google.
979 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
980 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
982 This work was sponsored by Google.
985 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
986 and URI types are currently supported.
988 This work was sponsored by Google.
991 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
992 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
993 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
994 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
995 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
996 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
997 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
998 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1000 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1001 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1002 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1004 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1005 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1006 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1007 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1009 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1010 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1011 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1012 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1013 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1014 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1015 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1016 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1018 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1020 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1021 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1022 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1024 This work was sponsored by Google.
1027 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1030 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1031 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1032 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1035 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1036 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1039 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1040 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1043 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1044 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1045 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1046 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1047 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1048 content types and variants.
1051 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1054 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1055 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1056 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1057 files from the associated perl scripts.
1060 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1061 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1062 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1064 *) s390x assembler pack.
1067 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1071 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1072 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1073 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1074 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1075 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1076 to use. For example, specify an option
1078 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1080 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1081 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1082 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1083 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1084 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1085 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1087 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1088 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1089 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1090 return non-zero for success.
1092 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1095 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1096 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1100 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1103 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1104 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1105 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1106 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1107 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1108 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1109 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1110 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1111 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1113 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1114 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1115 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1116 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1117 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1118 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1120 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1121 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1122 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1123 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1124 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1125 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1129 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1132 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1134 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1135 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1136 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1139 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1140 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1143 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1144 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1145 with no application modification.
1147 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1148 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1150 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1151 or server extensions to be examined.
1153 This work was sponsored by Google.
1156 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1157 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1158 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1160 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1161 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1162 ciphersuite support.
1163 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1165 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1166 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1167 to output in BER and PEM format.
1170 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1171 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1172 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1173 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1174 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1177 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1178 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1179 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1183 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1184 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1185 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1186 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1187 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1188 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1189 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1190 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1193 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1194 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1195 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1196 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1198 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1199 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1200 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1204 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1205 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1206 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1207 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1208 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1209 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1210 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1211 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1212 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1214 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1215 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1216 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1217 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1218 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1219 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1220 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1221 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1222 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1223 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1224 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1227 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1228 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1229 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1231 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1232 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1236 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1237 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1238 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1241 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1242 it yet and it is largely untested.
1245 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1248 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1249 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1250 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1253 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1256 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1257 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1258 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1259 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1262 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1263 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1264 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1265 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1266 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1269 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1270 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1273 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1274 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1275 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1276 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1279 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1280 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1281 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1282 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1285 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1286 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1289 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1290 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1291 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1292 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1295 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1296 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1297 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1300 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1304 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1305 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1308 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1309 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1310 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1314 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1315 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1316 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1319 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1320 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1321 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1322 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1325 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1326 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1327 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1328 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1329 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1330 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1333 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1334 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1335 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1336 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1337 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1339 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1340 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1341 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1342 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1343 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1346 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1347 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1348 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1349 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1351 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1352 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1353 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1354 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1355 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1361 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1362 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1366 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1367 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1370 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1371 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1374 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1375 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1376 functional reference processing.
1379 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1380 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1384 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1385 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1386 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1389 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1390 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1391 application to support multiple signers.
1394 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1398 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1399 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1400 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1401 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1402 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1405 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1409 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1410 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1411 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1412 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1416 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1417 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1418 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1419 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1420 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1421 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1422 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1423 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1426 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1427 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1428 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1429 between digests and public key types.
1432 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1433 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1434 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1435 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1438 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1439 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1443 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1446 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1450 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1451 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1452 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1453 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1458 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1460 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1462 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1464 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1465 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1466 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1467 functionality for RSA.
1470 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1471 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1472 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1475 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1476 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1479 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1480 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1481 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1484 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1485 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1488 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1489 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1492 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1493 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1497 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1498 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1499 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1503 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1504 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1505 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1506 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1507 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1508 of public and private key structures.
1511 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1512 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1515 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1516 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1517 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1520 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1524 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1525 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1526 SSL_get_psk_identity
1527 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1529 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1531 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1532 and response verification functionality.
1533 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1535 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1536 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1537 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1538 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1539 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1540 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1541 server_name extension.
1543 New functions (subject to change):
1545 SSL_get_servername()
1546 SSL_get_servername_type()
1549 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1551 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1552 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1553 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1554 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1555 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1557 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1559 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1560 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1561 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1562 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1563 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1564 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1567 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1569 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1572 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1573 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1574 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1575 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1576 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1579 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1580 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1584 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1585 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1586 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1587 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1590 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1591 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1592 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1593 using the maximum available value.
1596 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1597 in addition to the text details.
1600 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1601 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1602 handle several customised structures at all.
1605 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1606 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1607 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1610 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1613 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1614 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1615 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1618 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1619 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1620 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1623 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1624 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1628 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1631 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1634 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1636 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1637 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1638 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1639 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1642 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1644 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1645 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1646 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1647 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1648 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1649 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1650 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1651 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1652 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1653 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1654 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1655 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)

1676 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1678 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1679 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1681 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1682 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1683 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1685 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1686 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1687 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1689 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1690 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1691 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1692 the last update always remained unused).
1693 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1695 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1696 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1697 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1699 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1702 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper

1715 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1719 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1721 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1722 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1723 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1726 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1727 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1728 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1731 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1733 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1734 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1735 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1738 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1741 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1742 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1743 some broken encodings work correctly.
1746 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1747 is also one of the inputs.
1748 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1750 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1751 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1752 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add

1776 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1778 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1779 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1780 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1781 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1782 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1783 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1784 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1785 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1787 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1788 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1789 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1791 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1793 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1794 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1796 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1797 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1800 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1801 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1802 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1805 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1806 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1807 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1808 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1809 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1810 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1813 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1814 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1815 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1818 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1819 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1820 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1821 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1822 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1823 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1827 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1828 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1831 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1832 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1833 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1836 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1839 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1840 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1841 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1842 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1843 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1844 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1845 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1846 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1847 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1850 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1851 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1852 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1855 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1856 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1859 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1860 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1861 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1862 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1863 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1864 know what you are doing.
1865 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1867 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1868 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1869 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1870 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1871 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1872 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1876 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1877 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1878 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1880 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1882 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1883 warnings in other configurations.
1886 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1887 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1888 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1890 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1892 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1893 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1894 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1896 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1897 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1898 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1899 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1902 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1906 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1907 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1909 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1911 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1912 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1913 other than a simple chain.
1914 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1916 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1917 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1918 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1919 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1922 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1923 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1924 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1925 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1926 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1927 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1928 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1929 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1930 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1932 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1933 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1934 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1935 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1936 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1937 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1939 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1941 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1942 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1945 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1946 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1949 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1951 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1953 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1954 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1955 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1956 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1957 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1961 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1963 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1964 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1965 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1966 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1968 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1969 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1970 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1971 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1973 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1974 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1975 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1978 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1979 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1983 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1984 to handle some structures.
1987 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1989 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1991 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1994 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1997 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2000 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2001 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2005 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2007 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2009 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2011 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2014 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2015 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2016 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2017 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2019 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2020 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2022 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2023 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2026 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2027 s_client and s_server.
2030 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2031 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2033 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2034 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2036 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2037 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2038 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2039 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2040 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2043 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2045 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2046 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2049 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2050 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2053 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2054 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2055 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2056 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2058 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2059 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2061 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2063 *) Various precautionary measures:
2065 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2067 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2068 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2069 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2071 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2072 outside the expected range.
2074 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2077 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2079 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2080 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2081 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2083 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2086 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2089 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2091 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2094 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2095 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2096 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2098 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2101 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2102 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2103 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2107 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2109 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2110 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2111 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2112 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2114 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2115 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2118 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2120 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2121 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2122 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2124 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2126 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2127 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2128 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2129 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2132 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2133 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2134 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2135 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2136 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2137 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2138 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2140 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2142 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2143 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2144 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2145 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2146 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2148 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2149 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2151 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2152 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2153 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2154 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2155 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2157 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2159 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2160 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2161 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2162 sets may exist with different names.
2165 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2166 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2167 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2168 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2169 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2170 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2171 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2172 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2173 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2175 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2177 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2178 implemention in the following ways:
2180 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2183 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2184 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2185 ignored for embedded content.
2187 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2188 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2191 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2192 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2193 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2194 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2196 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2197 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2200 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2201 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2204 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2205 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2206 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2207 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2208 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2209 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2213 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2214 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2215 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2219 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2220 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2221 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2222 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2223 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2224 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2225 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2226 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2228 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2229 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2230 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2231 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2232 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2233 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2234 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2236 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2237 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2238 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2239 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2240 to s_client and s_server.
2243 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2245 *) Fix various bugs:
2246 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2247 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2248 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2249 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2250 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2252 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2254 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2255 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2256 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2257 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2258 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2259 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2260 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2261 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2264 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2265 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2266 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2269 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2270 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2271 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2274 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2275 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2278 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2279 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2280 with no application modification.
2282 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2283 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2285 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2286 or server extensions to be examined.
2288 This work was sponsored by Google.
2291 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2292 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2293 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2294 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2295 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2296 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2297 server_name extension.
2299 New functions (subject to change):
2301 SSL_get_servername()
2302 SSL_get_servername_type()
2305 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2307 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2308 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2309 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2310 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2311 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2313 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2315 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2316 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2317 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2318 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2319 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2320 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2323 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2325 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2328 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2331 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2332 (which previously caused an internal error).
2335 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2338 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2339 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2341 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2342 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2343 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2345 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2346 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2347 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2348 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2350 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2351 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2352 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2353 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2355 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2356 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2357 information. For detailed background information, see
2358 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2359 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2360 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2361 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2362 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2363 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2364 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2365 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2366 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2367 remove a conditional branch.
2369 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2370 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2371 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2372 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2373 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2374 remains as a deprecated alias.
2376 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2377 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2378 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2379 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2381 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2382 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2383 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2384 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2385 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2386 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2387 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2388 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2390 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2392 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2393 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2394 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2395 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2396 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2397 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2398 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2399 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2400 in a different context.
2403 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2404 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2405 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2408 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2409 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2410 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2412 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2414 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2415 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2416 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2417 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2418 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2421 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2422 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2423 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2424 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2425 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2426 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2429 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2430 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2431 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2432 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2433 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2436 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2437 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2439 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2440 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2441 Improve header file function name parsing.
2444 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2445 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2448 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2450 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2451 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2452 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2454 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2455 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2457 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2458 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2460 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2461 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2462 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2464 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2465 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2466 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2467 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2468 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2469 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2470 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2471 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2472 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2474 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2475 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2476 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2477 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2478 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2480 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2481 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2482 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2483 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2484 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2485 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2486 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2487 multiple values to extend the available space.
2491 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2493 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2494 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2496 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2499 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2500 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2501 undesirable limitations.
2502 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2504 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2505 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2506 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2507 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2508 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2509 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2510 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2513 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2515 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2516 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2517 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2519 The latter two were purportedly from
2520 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2523 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2524 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2525 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2528 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2529 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2532 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2533 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2534 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2535 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2537 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2538 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2539 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2542 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2543 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2544 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2545 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2546 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2547 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2550 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2552 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2553 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2556 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2557 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2559 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2560 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2561 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2562 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2565 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2566 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2569 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2570 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2571 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2572 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2573 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2574 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2575 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2579 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2580 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2581 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2582 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2585 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2586 under VC++ build system.
2589 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2590 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2593 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2595 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2596 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2597 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2598 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2599 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2601 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2602 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2603 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2605 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2608 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2609 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2612 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2613 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2615 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2618 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2619 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2621 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2622 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2625 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2626 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2630 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2632 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2635 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2638 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2639 key into the same file any more.
2642 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2645 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2646 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2648 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2649 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2652 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2653 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2654 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2655 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2656 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2657 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2659 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2660 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2661 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2664 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2665 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2666 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2667 - add new function for parameter creation
2668 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2669 BN_BLINDING parameters
2670 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2671 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2672 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2676 *) Add support for DTLS.
2677 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2679 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2680 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2683 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2684 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2687 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2688 the apps/openssl applications.
2691 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2692 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2693 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2696 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2697 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2699 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2700 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2702 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2703 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2704 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2705 avoid this algorithm.)
2709 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2710 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2711 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2714 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2715 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2718 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2719 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2720 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2723 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2725 The blank line is mandatory.
2729 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2730 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2734 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2735 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2737 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2738 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2739 to support policy checking and print out.
2742 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2743 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2744 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2745 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2747 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2750 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2751 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2753 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2754 implementation contributed by IBM.
2755 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2757 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2758 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2759 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2760 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2762 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2763 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2765 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2766 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2767 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2768 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2769 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2770 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2773 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2774 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2775 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2776 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2777 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2778 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2779 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2782 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2785 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2786 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2787 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2788 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2789 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2790 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2791 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2792 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2795 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2796 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2797 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2798 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2801 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2804 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2807 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2808 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2809 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2810 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2811 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2812 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2813 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2816 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2817 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2820 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2821 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2822 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2825 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2826 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2827 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2831 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2832 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2835 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2836 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2837 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2838 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2841 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2842 initialised value as BN_new().
2843 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2845 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2848 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2849 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2850 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2851 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2852 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2853 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2854 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2855 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2856 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2857 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2858 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2859 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2860 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2861 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2862 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2864 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2865 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2866 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2867 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2870 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2871 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2872 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2873 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2874 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2875 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2876 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2877 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2878 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2881 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2882 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2883 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2884 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2885 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2886 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2887 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2890 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2891 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2892 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2893 these have been updated also.
2896 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2897 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2898 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2899 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2900 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2904 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2905 structure of type "other".
2908 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2909 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2910 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2911 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2912 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2913 situation in the script.
2914 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2916 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2917 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2918 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2919 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2920 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2921 used as premaster secret.
2922 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2924 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2925 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2926 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2928 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2929 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2931 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2932 control of the error stack.
2935 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2938 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2939 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2940 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2941 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2944 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2945 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2946 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2949 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2950 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2951 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2955 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2956 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2957 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2958 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2961 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2962 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2963 the following flags are defined:
2965 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2966 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2967 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2970 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2971 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2972 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2973 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2977 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2978 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2979 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2980 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2981 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2984 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2985 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2986 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2989 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2990 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2991 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2992 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2993 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2994 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2997 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3001 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3004 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3007 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3010 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3011 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3012 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3013 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3014 default implementation more easily.
3017 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3021 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3022 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3025 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3026 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3027 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3028 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3030 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3031 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3032 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3033 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3036 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3037 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3041 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3042 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3043 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3044 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3045 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3046 scalar * generator).
3047 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3049 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3050 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3051 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3055 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3056 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3057 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3058 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3059 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3060 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3061 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3062 linker additions, eg;
3063 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3066 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3067 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3068 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3071 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3072 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3073 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3077 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3078 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3079 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3080 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3083 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3084 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3085 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3086 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3087 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3088 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3089 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3090 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3091 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3092 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3094 Example for using the new callback interface:
3096 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3100 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3102 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3103 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3104 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3105 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3106 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3107 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3112 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3113 available to TLS with the number defined in
3114 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3117 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3118 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3120 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3121 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3122 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3123 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3125 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3126 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3128 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3129 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3133 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3134 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3137 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3138 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3139 and a macro that behave like
3140 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3142 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3145 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3146 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3147 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3149 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3151 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3154 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3155 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3156 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3157 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3159 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3160 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3161 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3162 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3163 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3164 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3165 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3166 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3168 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3169 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3172 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3173 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3175 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3176 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3177 files while avoiding the low level API.
3179 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3180 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3181 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3182 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3184 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3185 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3186 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3187 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3188 instead of the low level API.
3191 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3192 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3193 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3194 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3195 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3198 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3199 down to the template encoder.
3202 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3203 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3206 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3207 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3208 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3209 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3211 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3212 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3214 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3215 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3217 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3218 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3221 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3222 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3223 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3226 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3227 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3229 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3230 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3232 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3233 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3236 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3240 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3241 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3242 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3243 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3244 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3245 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3247 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3248 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3251 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3252 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3253 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3254 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3255 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3256 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3257 various internal method names.)
3259 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3260 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3262 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3263 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3265 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3266 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3268 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3269 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3270 methods are undefined.
3272 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3273 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3275 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3276 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3277 length of the modulus.
3279 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3280 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3282 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3283 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3285 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3286 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3288 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3289 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3290 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3293 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3294 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3295 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3296 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3298 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3299 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3300 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3301 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3303 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3304 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3306 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3307 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3308 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3309 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3310 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3312 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3313 This applies to the following functions:
3318 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3319 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3321 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3322 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3326 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3331 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3333 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3334 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3335 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3336 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3337 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3339 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3340 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3342 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3343 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3344 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3346 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3347 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3349 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3350 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3351 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3352 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3353 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3355 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3357 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3358 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3359 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3360 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3361 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3362 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3363 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3364 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3365 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3366 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3367 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3368 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3370 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3373 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3374 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3375 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3376 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3378 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3379 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3380 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3381 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3386 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3387 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3388 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3389 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3390 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3392 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3393 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3394 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3395 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3396 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3397 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3398 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3399 adding different types of curves.
3400 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3402 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3403 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3404 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3407 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3408 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3410 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3411 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3412 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3413 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3415 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3417 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3418 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3420 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3421 library. Most notably,
3422 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3423 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3424 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3425 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3426 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3427 extracted before the specific public key;
3428 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3429 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3431 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3432 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3434 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3435 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3436 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3437 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3439 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3440 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3441 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3443 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3444 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3445 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3446 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3447 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3448 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3452 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3454 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3456 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3458 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3459 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3460 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3463 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3464 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3465 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3468 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3471 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3472 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3475 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3476 run algorithm test programs.
3479 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3482 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3483 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3484 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3485 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3486 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3489 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3490 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3493 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3495 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3496 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3497 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3499 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3500 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3502 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3503 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3505 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3506 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3507 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3509 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3510 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3511 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3512 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3513 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3514 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3515 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3518 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3520 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3521 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3523 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3524 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3525 undesirable limitations.
3526 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3528 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3530 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3531 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3532 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3534 The latter two were purportedly from
3535 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3538 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3539 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3540 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3543 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3544 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3547 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3549 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3550 module in FIPS mode.
3553 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3556 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3557 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3558 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3559 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3562 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3564 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3565 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3566 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3567 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3568 the difference induced by this change.
3571 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3573 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3574 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3575 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3576 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3577 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3579 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3580 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3581 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3583 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3584 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3587 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3588 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3589 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3590 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3594 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3595 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3596 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3597 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3598 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3600 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3601 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3602 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3603 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3604 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3605 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3607 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3609 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3610 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3611 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3612 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3613 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3616 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3620 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3621 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3622 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3625 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3626 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3627 structures constant.
3630 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3632 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3635 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3636 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3637 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3638 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3639 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3640 some needed definitions.
3643 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3646 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3647 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3648 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3649 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3652 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3654 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3655 server and client random values. Previously
3656 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3657 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3659 This change has negligible security impact because:
3661 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3664 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3667 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3668 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3671 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3674 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3676 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3679 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3680 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3681 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3683 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3686 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3687 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3690 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3691 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3692 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3694 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3697 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3698 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3699 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3703 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3704 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3705 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3706 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3708 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3709 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3710 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3711 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3715 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3717 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3718 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3719 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3720 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3721 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3724 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3727 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3728 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3730 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3731 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3732 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3733 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3734 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3735 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3736 rather than being initialized to 1.
3739 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3741 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3742 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3743 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3745 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3747 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3749 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3750 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3751 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3752 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3753 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3754 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3757 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3758 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3759 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3760 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3761 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3765 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3766 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3767 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3768 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3769 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3772 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3773 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3774 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3778 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3779 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3781 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3784 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3786 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3788 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3789 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3791 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3793 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3794 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3798 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3799 exiting on the first error in a request.
3802 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3803 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3807 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3808 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3809 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3810 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3812 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3813 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3816 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3817 blocks during encryption.
3820 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3821 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3822 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3823 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3827 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3828 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3829 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3830 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3831 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3835 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3837 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3838 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3839 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3840 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3843 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3844 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3845 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3846 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3847 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3849 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3850 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3851 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3852 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3853 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3854 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3855 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3856 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3857 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3860 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3861 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3862 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3863 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3866 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3867 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3870 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3872 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3873 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3874 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3875 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3876 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3878 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3879 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3880 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3882 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3883 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3884 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3885 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3886 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3888 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3889 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3890 used by default when no-err is given.
3893 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3894 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3896 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3897 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3898 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3899 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3900 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3902 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3903 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3904 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3905 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3907 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3909 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3911 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3913 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3914 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3915 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3916 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3920 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3921 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3923 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3924 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3927 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3928 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3929 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3930 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3933 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3934 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3935 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3936 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3937 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3938 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3939 followup to PR #377.
3942 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3943 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3946 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3947 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3948 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3949 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3951 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3953 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3956 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3957 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3958 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3959 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3961 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3965 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3966 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3970 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3971 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3972 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3973 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3974 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3975 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3977 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3978 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3979 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3980 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3981 have to be made anyway).
3984 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3985 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3986 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3989 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3990 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3991 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3994 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3995 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3996 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3998 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3999 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4000 edit numbers of the version.
4001 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4003 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4004 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4005 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4007 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4008 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4010 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4011 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4012 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4014 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4015 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4017 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4018 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4020 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4021 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4023 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4024 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4026 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4028 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4030 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4031 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4032 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4034 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4035 representations in a platform independent manner.
4036 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4038 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4039 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4040 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4042 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4044 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4046 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4047 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4049 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4051 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4053 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4054 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4055 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4057 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4059 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4061 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4062 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4064 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4065 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4067 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4068 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4070 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4071 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4073 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4075 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4077 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().

4080 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

4083 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4084 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4086 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4088 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4089 the 0.9.6 release series:
4091 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4092 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4094 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4096 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4099 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4100 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4102 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4103 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4105 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4106 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4107 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4108 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4110 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4111 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4112 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4114 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4115 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4116 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4117 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4119 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4120 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4121 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4124 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4125 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4126 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4127 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4128 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4129 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4130 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4131 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4134 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4135 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4136 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4139 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4140 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4141 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4142 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4143 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4145 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4146 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4148 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4149 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4152 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4153 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4154 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4155 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4156 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4157 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4160 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4161 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4162 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4165 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4166 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4169 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4170 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4171 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4172 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4173 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4174 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4175 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4178 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4179 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4180 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4181 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4182 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4183 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4186 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4187 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4188 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4189 declaration has been changed from
4192 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4193 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4194 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4195 has been changed into
4196 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4198 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4199 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4200 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4202 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4203 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4205 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4206 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4207 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4208 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4209 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4210 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4211 always load it have also been added.
4214 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4215 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4216 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4218 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4220 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4221 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4222 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4224 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4225 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4226 command line option can be used to specify an
4230 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4231 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4234 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4235 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4236 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4239 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4240 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4241 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4242 to work with the new engine framework.
4243 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4245 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4246 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4247 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4248 to work with the new engine framework.
4251 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4252 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4253 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4255 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4256 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4258 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4259 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4260 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4261 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4263 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4265 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4266 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4268 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4269 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4271 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
projects / openssl.git / blob
