5 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [xx XXX xxxx]
7 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
8 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
9 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
12 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
13 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
14 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
15 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
16 will need to explicitly call either of:
18 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
20 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
22 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
23 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
24 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
25 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
26 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
30 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
32 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
33 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
34 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
37 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
42 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
44 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
46 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
47 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
48 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
51 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
52 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
53 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
54 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
55 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
56 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
61 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
63 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
64 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
65 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
66 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
67 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
68 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
69 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
70 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
71 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
72 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
73 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
75 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
76 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
77 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
78 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
79 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
81 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
85 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
87 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
88 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
89 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
91 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
92 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
93 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
94 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
95 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
98 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
99 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
100 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
101 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
102 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
103 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
104 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
105 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
106 as command line arguments.
108 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
109 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
110 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
112 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
116 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
118 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
119 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
120 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
121 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
122 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
124 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
125 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
126 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
127 http://cachebleed.info.
131 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
132 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
133 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
134 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
137 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
139 *) DH small subgroups
141 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
142 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
143 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
144 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
145 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
146 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
147 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
148 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
149 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
150 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
152 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
153 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
154 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
155 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
156 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
158 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
159 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
160 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
161 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
163 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
164 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
166 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
170 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
172 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
173 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
174 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
177 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
178 and Sebastian Schinzel.
182 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024 bits.
185 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
187 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
189 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
190 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
191 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
192 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
193 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
194 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
195 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
196 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
197 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
198 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
199 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
200 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
202 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
206 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
208 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
209 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
210 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
211 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
212 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
213 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
214 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
217 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
221 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
223 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
224 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
225 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
226 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
228 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
233 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
234 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
235 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
236 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
239 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
240 use a random seed, as already documented.
241 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
243 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
245 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
247 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
248 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
249 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
250 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
251 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
252 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
254 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
259 *) Race condition handling PSK identify hint
261 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
262 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
263 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
268 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
270 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
271 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
274 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
276 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
278 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
279 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
282 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
283 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
284 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
285 client authentication enabled.
287 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
291 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
293 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
294 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
295 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
298 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
299 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
300 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
301 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
302 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
305 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
306 independently by Hanno Böck.
310 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
312 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
313 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
314 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
316 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
317 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
318 servers are not affected.
320 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
324 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
326 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
327 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
328 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
330 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
334 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
336 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
337 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
338 a double free of the ticket data.
342 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
343 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
344 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
345 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
346 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
347 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
350 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
351 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
352 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
355 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
356 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
358 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
360 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
362 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
363 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
364 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
366 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
369 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
371 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
373 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
374 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
375 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
376 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
377 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
378 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
379 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
380 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
382 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
386 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
388 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
389 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
390 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
391 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
392 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
393 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
394 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
395 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
398 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
402 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
404 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
405 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
406 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
407 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
408 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
409 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
413 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
415 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
416 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
417 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
418 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
419 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
420 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
421 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
423 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
427 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
429 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
430 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
431 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
433 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
434 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
435 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
440 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
442 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
443 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
444 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
446 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
447 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
448 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
450 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
454 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
456 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
457 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
458 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
460 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
461 (OpenSSL development team).
465 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
467 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
468 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
469 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
473 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
475 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
476 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
477 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
478 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
479 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
480 SSL_client_methodv23)
481 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
482 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
484 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
485 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
486 output may be predictable.
488 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
489 succeed on an unpatched platform:
491 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
495 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
497 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
498 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
499 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
500 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
501 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
502 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
504 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
509 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
511 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
512 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
514 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
518 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
521 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
523 *) Change RSA and DH/DSA key generation apps to generate 2048-bit
527 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
528 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
529 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
530 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
531 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
532 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
535 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
536 (other platforms pending).
537 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
539 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
540 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
543 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
544 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
545 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
548 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
549 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
550 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
551 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
554 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
555 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
557 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
558 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
559 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
560 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
561 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
563 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
566 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
567 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
568 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
569 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
571 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
573 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
575 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
576 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
577 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
580 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
583 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
584 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
585 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
588 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
589 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
592 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
593 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
596 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
597 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
598 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
599 algorithms and include tests cases.
602 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
604 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
606 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
607 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
610 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
611 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
612 summary of the connection parameters.
615 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
616 of connection parameters.
619 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
620 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
622 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
623 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
626 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
629 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
630 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
633 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
634 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
637 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
641 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
642 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
643 CRLs using the OCSP API.
646 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
649 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
650 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
653 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
654 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
655 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
659 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
660 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
663 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
667 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
671 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
672 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
673 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
674 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
677 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
678 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
681 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
682 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
683 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
687 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
688 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
689 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
693 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
696 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
697 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
698 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
699 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
700 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
701 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
702 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
704 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
705 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
709 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
710 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
711 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
714 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
715 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
716 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
717 supported signature algorithms.
720 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
723 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
724 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
725 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
726 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
727 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
728 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
729 certificate and specify the whole chain.
732 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
733 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
734 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
735 to have similar checks in it.
737 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
738 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
739 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
740 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
741 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
744 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
745 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
746 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
747 shared signature algorithms.
750 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
751 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
755 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
756 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
757 it couldn't be removed.
760 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
761 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
764 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
765 functions. Add manual page.
766 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
768 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
769 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
773 *) Fix OCSP checking.
774 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
776 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
777 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
778 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
779 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
783 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
784 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
787 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
788 platform support for Linux and Android.
791 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
794 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
795 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
796 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
797 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
798 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
801 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
802 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
803 the new parameter format automatically.
806 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
807 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
810 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
813 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
814 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
815 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
816 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
817 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
820 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
821 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
822 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
823 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
824 to set list of supported curves.
827 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
828 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
829 to print out received values.
832 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
833 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
834 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
837 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
838 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
841 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
842 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
845 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
849 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
851 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
852 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
853 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
855 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
857 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
858 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
860 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
862 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
863 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
864 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
865 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
869 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
870 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
871 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
872 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
873 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
874 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
878 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
879 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
880 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
881 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
885 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
888 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
889 reporting this issue.
893 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
894 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
895 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
896 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
897 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
898 INRIA or reporting this issue.
902 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
903 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
904 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
905 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
906 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
907 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
908 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
913 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
914 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
916 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
917 and can vary with the CTX.
920 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
922 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
923 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
924 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
925 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
926 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
928 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
930 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
931 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
933 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
935 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
936 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
937 errors for some broken certificates.
939 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
941 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
943 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
944 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
946 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
947 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
948 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
949 (negative or with leading zeroes).
951 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
952 of the OpenSSL core team.
957 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
958 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
959 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
960 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
961 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
962 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
963 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
964 the OpenSSL core team.
968 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
969 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
970 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
971 sanity and breaks all known clients.
972 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
974 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
975 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
976 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
979 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
980 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
981 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
982 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
983 announced in the initial ServerHello.
985 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
986 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
987 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
990 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
994 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
995 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
996 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
997 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
998 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
999 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1000 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1002 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1006 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1008 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1009 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1010 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1011 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1012 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1017 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1019 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1020 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1021 configured to send them.
1023 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1025 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1026 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1027 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1029 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1031 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1033 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1034 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1035 DigestInfo structures.
1037 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1041 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1043 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1044 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1045 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1047 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1048 Group for discovering this issue.
1052 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1053 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1054 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1055 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1056 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1058 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1059 researching this issue.
1063 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1064 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1065 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1066 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1068 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1073 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1074 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1075 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1079 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1080 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1081 Denial of Service attack.
1082 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1086 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1087 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1088 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1089 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1094 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1095 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1096 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1098 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1103 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1104 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1105 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1106 Denial of Service attack.
1108 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1109 discovering and researching this issue.
1113 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1114 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1115 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1116 output to the attacker.
1118 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1120 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1122 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1123 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1124 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1127 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1129 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1130 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1131 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1133 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1134 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1135 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1137 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1138 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1141 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1143 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1145 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1146 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1147 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1148 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1150 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1151 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1153 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1154 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1156 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1157 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1158 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1160 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1162 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1164 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1165 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1166 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1168 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1169 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1171 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1173 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1174 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1177 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1178 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1179 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1180 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1182 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1183 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1184 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1185 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1187 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1188 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1189 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1191 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1193 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1194 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1195 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1196 is at least 512 bytes long.
1198 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1200 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1202 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1203 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1204 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1207 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1208 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1209 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1212 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1213 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1214 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1215 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1216 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1217 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1218 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1220 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1222 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1223 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1224 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1226 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1228 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1230 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1231 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1232 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1234 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1235 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1236 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1237 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1239 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1241 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1242 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1243 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1244 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1245 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1249 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1250 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1253 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1254 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1256 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1257 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1258 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1259 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1260 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1262 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1265 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1269 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1271 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1272 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1274 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1275 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1279 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1280 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1283 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1287 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1289 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1290 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1291 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1292 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1293 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1294 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1295 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1296 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1297 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1298 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1301 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1302 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1303 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1304 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1305 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1306 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1310 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1312 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1313 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1314 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1316 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1317 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1319 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1321 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1324 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1325 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1327 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1328 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1329 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1330 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1331 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1332 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1333 Most broken servers should now work.
1334 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1335 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1338 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1341 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1343 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1344 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1347 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1348 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1349 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1350 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1351 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1354 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1355 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1356 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
1357 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1358 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1361 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1362 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1364 *) Add support for SCTP.
1365 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1367 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1368 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1370 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1372 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1373 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1374 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1375 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1376 - s390x: z196 support;
1377 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1381 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1382 (removal of unnecessary code)
1383 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1385 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1388 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1391 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1392 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1393 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1395 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1397 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1398 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1399 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1400 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1401 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1403 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1404 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1405 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1407 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1408 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1409 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1411 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1412 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1414 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1416 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1417 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1418 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1421 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1422 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1426 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1427 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1428 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1431 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1432 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1433 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1434 the appropriate parameters.
1437 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1438 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1439 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1440 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1441 against a number of sample certificates.
1444 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1445 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1447 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1448 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1450 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1451 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1455 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1459 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1460 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1461 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1462 password based CMS).
1465 *) Session-handling fixes:
1466 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1467 but also support Session Tickets.
1468 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1469 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1470 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1471 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1472 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1473 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1475 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1478 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1480 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1483 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1484 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1485 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1486 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
1487 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1490 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1491 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1494 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1495 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1496 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1499 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1500 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
1501 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
1502 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1505 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1506 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1507 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1510 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1511 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1513 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1516 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1517 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1520 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1523 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1524 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1527 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1528 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1531 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1534 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1535 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1536 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1539 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1542 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1545 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1546 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1549 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1550 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1551 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1554 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1557 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1561 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1562 FIPS modules versions.
1565 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1566 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1567 until after the certificate request message is received.
1570 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1571 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1572 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1573 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1576 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1577 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1578 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1579 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1582 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1583 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1584 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1585 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1586 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1587 and version checking.
1590 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1591 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1592 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1593 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1597 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1599 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1602 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1603 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1604 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1606 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1607 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1608 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1611 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1612 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1614 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1615 a few changes are required:
1617 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1618 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1619 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1620 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1621 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1624 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1626 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1627 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1628 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1629 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1630 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1631 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1632 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1633 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1634 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1637 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1638 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1639 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1642 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1644 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1645 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1646 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1647 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1650 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1652 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1653 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1654 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1655 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1656 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1657 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1658 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1659 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1660 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1661 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1662 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1663 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1664 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1666 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1668 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1670 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1671 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1672 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1673 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1675 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1676 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1678 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1679 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1680 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1681 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1683 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1684 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1686 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1687 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1689 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1690 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1692 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1693 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1694 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1696 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1697 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1698 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1700 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1701 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1702 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1703 the last update always remained unused).
1704 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1706 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1707 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1709 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1711 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1712 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1713 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1715 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1716 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1717 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1719 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1722 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1723 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1724 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1727 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1728 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1730 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1732 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1734 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1736 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1737 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1739 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1740 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1744 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1746 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1747 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1748 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1751 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1752 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1753 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1756 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1758 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1759 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1760 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1763 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1767 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1769 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1771 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1773 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1775 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1776 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1777 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1780 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1783 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1784 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1785 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1787 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1788 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1789 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1792 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1793 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1796 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1797 some responders need this.
1800 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1802 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1804 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1805 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1806 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1809 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1812 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1813 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1814 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1815 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1816 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1817 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1818 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1819 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1822 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1823 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1824 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1825 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1827 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1828 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1830 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1834 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1835 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1836 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1837 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1838 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1839 attempting to work them out.
1842 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1843 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1844 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1845 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1848 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1849 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1850 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1851 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1852 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1855 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1856 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1863 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1865 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1869 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1870 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1872 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1873 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1875 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1876 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1877 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1878 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1879 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1882 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1883 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1884 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1887 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1888 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1891 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1892 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1894 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1895 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1898 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1901 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1902 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1903 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1907 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1908 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1909 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1910 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1911 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1912 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1915 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1916 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1918 This work was sponsored by Google.
1921 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1922 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1923 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1924 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1925 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1926 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1927 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1930 This work was sponsored by Google.
1933 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1935 This work was sponsored by Google.
1938 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1939 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1940 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1941 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1943 This work was sponsored by Google.
1946 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1947 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1948 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1949 CRL functionality in future.
1951 This work was sponsored by Google.
1954 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1956 This work was sponsored by Google.
1959 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1960 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1962 This work was sponsored by Google.
1965 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1966 and URI types are currently supported.
1968 This work was sponsored by Google.
1971 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1972 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1973 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1974 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1975 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1976 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1977 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1978 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1980 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1981 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1982 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1984 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1985 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1986 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1987 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1989 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1990 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1991 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1992 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1993 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1994 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1995 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1996 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1998 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2000 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2001 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2002 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2004 This work was sponsored by Google.
2007 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2010 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2011 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2012 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2015 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2016 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2019 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2020 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2023 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2024 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2025 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2026 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2027 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2028 content types and variants.
2031 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2034 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2035 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2036 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2037 files from the associated perl scripts.
2040 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2041 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2042 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2044 *) s390x assembler pack.
2047 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2051 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2052 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2053 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2054 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2055 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2056 to use. For example, specify an option
2058 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2060 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2061 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2062 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2063 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2064 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2065 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2067 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2068 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2069 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2070 return non-zero for success.
2072 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2075 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2076 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2080 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2083 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2084 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2085 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2086 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2087 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2088 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2089 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2090 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2091 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2093 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2094 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2095 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2096 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2097 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2098 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2100 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2101 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2102 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2103 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2104 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2105 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2109 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2112 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2114 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2115 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2116 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2119 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2120 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2123 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2124 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2125 with no application modification.
2127 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2128 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2130 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2131 or server extensions to be examined.
2133 This work was sponsored by Google.
2136 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2137 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2138 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2140 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2141 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2142 ciphersuite support.
2143 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2145 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2146 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2147 to output in BER and PEM format.
2150 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2151 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2152 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2153 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2154 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2157 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2158 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2159 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2163 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2164 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2165 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2166 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2167 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2168 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2169 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2170 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2173 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2174 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2175 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2176 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2178 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2179 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2180 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2184 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2185 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2186 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2187 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2188 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2189 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2190 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2191 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2192 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2194 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2195 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2196 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2197 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2198 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2199 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2200 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2201 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2202 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2203 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2204 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2207 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2208 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2209 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2211 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2212 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2216 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2217 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2218 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2221 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2222 it yet and it is largely untested.
2225 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2228 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2229 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2230 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2233 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2236 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2237 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2238 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2239 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2242 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2243 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2244 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2245 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2246 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2249 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2250 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2253 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2254 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2255 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2256 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2259 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2260 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2261 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2262 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2265 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2266 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2269 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2270 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2271 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2272 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2275 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2276 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2277 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2280 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2284 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2285 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2288 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2289 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2290 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2294 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2295 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2296 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2299 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2300 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2301 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2302 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2305 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2306 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2307 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2308 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2309 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2310 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2313 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2314 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2315 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2316 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2317 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2319 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2320 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2321 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2322 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2323 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2326 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2327 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2328 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2329 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2331 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2332 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2333 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2334 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2335 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2341 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2342 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2346 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2347 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2350 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2351 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2354 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2355 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2356 functional reference processing.
2359 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2360 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2364 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2365 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2366 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2369 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2370 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2371 application to support multiple signers.
2374 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2378 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2379 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2380 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2381 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2382 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2385 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2389 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2390 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2391 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2392 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2396 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2397 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2398 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2399 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
2400 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2401 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2402 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2403 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2406 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2407 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2408 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2409 between digests and public key types.
2412 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2413 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2414 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2415 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2418 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2419 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2423 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2426 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2430 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2431 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2432 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2433 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2438 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2440 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2442 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2444 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2445 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2446 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2447 functionality for RSA.
2450 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2451 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2452 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2455 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2456 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2459 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2460 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2461 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2464 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2465 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2468 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2469 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2472 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2473 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2477 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2478 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2479 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2483 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2484 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2485 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2486 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2487 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2488 of public and private key structures.
2491 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2492 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2495 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2496 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2497 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2500 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2504 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2505 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2506 SSL_get_psk_identity
2507 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2509 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2511 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2512 and response verification functionality.
2513 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2515 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2516 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2517 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2518 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2519 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2520 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2521 server_name extension.
2523 New functions (subject to change):
2525 SSL_get_servername()
2526 SSL_get_servername_type()
2529 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2531 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2532 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2533 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2534 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2535 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2537 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2539 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2540 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2541 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2542 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2543 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2544 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2547 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2549 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2552 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2553 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2554 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2555 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2556 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2559 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2560 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2564 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2565 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2566 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2567 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2570 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2571 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2572 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2573 using the maximum available value.
2576 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2577 in addition to the text details.
2580 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2581 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2582 handle several customised structures at all.
2585 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2586 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2587 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2590 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2593 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2594 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2595 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2598 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2599 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2600 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2603 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2604 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2608 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2611 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2614 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2616 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2617 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2618 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2619 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2620 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2621 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2622 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2623 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2625 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2626 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2627 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2629 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2631 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2632 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2634 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2635 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2638 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2639 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2640 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2643 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2644 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2645 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2646 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2647 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2648 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2651 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2652 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2653 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2656 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2657 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2658 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2659 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2660 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2661 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2665 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2666 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2669 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2670 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2671 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2674 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2677 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2678 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2679 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2680 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2681 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2682 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2683 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2684 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2685 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2688 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2689 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2690 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2693 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2694 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2697 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2698 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2699 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2700 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2701 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2702 know what you are doing.
2703 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2705 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2706 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2707 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2708 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2709 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2710 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2714 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2715 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2716 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2718 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2720 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2721 warnings in other configurations.
2724 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2725 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2726 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2728 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2730 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2731 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2732 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2734 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2735 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2736 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2737 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2740 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2744 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2745 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2747 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2749 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2750 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2751 other than a simple chain.
2752 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2754 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2755 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2756 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2757 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2760 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2761 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2762 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2763 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2764 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2765 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2766 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2767 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2768 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2770 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2771 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2772 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2773 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2774 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2775 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2777 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2779 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2780 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2783 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2784 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2787 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2789 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2791 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2792 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2793 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2794 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2795 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2799 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2801 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2802 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2803 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2804 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2806 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2807 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2808 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2809 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2811 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2812 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2813 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2816 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2817 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2821 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2822 to handle some structures.
2825 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2827 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2829 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2832 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2835 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2838 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2839 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2843 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2845 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2847 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2849 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2852 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2853 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2854 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2855 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2857 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2858 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2860 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2861 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2864 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2865 s_client and s_server.
2868 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2869 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2871 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2872 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2874 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2875 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2876 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2877 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2878 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2881 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2883 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2884 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2887 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2888 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2891 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2892 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2893 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2894 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2896 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2897 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2899 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2901 *) Various precautionary measures:
2903 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2905 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2906 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2907 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2909 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2910 outside the expected range.
2912 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2915 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2917 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2918 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2919 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2921 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2924 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2927 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2929 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2932 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2933 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2934 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2936 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2939 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2940 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2941 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2945 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2947 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2948 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2949 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2950 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2952 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2953 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2956 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2958 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2959 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2960 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2962 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2964 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2965 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2966 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2967 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2970 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2971 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2972 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2973 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2974 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2975 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2976 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2978 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2980 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2981 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2982 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2983 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2984 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2986 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2987 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2989 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2990 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2991 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2992 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2993 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2995 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2997 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2998 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2999 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3000 sets may exist with different names.
3003 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3004 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3005 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3006 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3007 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3008 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3009 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3010 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3011 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3013 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3015 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3016 implemention in the following ways:
3018 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3021 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3022 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3023 ignored for embedded content.
3025 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3026 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3029 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3030 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3031 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3032 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3034 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3035 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3038 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3039 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3042 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3043 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3044 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3045 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3046 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3047 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3051 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3052 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3053 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3057 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3058 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3059 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3060 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3061 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3062 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3063 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3064 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3066 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3067 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3068 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3069 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3070 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3071 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3072 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3074 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3075 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3076 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3077 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3078 to s_client and s_server.
3081 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3083 *) Fix various bugs:
3084 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3085 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3086 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3087 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3088 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3090 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3092 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3093 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3094 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3095 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3096 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3097 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3098 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3099 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3102 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3103 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3104 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3107 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3108 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3109 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3112 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3113 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3116 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3117 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3118 with no application modification.
3120 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3121 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3123 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3124 or server extensions to be examined.
3126 This work was sponsored by Google.
3129 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3130 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3131 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3132 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3133 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3134 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3135 server_name extension.
3137 New functions (subject to change):
3139 SSL_get_servername()
3140 SSL_get_servername_type()
3143 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3145 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB

3151 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3153 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3154 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3155 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3156 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3157 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
3158 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3161 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3163 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3166 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3169 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3170 (which previously caused an internal error).
3173 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3176 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3177 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3179 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3180 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3181 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3183 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3184 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3185 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3186 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3188 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3189 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3190 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3191 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3193 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3194 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3195 information. For detailed background information, see
3196 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3197 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3198 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3199 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3200 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3201 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3202 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3203 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3204 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3205 remove a conditional branch.
3207 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3208 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3209 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3210 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3211 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3212 remains as a deprecated alias.
3214 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3215 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3216 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3217 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3219 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3220 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3221 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3222 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3223 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3224 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3225 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3226 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3228 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3230 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3231 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3232 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3233 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3234 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3235 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3236 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3237 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3238 in a different context.
3241 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3242 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3243 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3246 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3247 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3248 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3250 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3252 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3253 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3254 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3255 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3256 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3259 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3260 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3261 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3262 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3263 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3264 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3267 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3268 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3269 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3270 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3271 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3274 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3275 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3277 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3278 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3279 Improve header file function name parsing.
3282 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3283 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3286 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3288 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3289 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3290 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3292 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3293 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3295 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3296 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3298 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3299 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3300 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3302 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3303 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3304 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3305 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3306 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3307 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3308 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3309 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3310 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3312 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3313 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3314 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3315 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3316 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3318 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3319 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3320 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3321 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3322 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3323 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3324 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3325 multiple values to extend the available space.
3329 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3331 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3332 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3334 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3337 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3338 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3339 undesirable limitations.
3340 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3342 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3343 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3344 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3345 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3346 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3347 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3348 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3351 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3353 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3354 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3355 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3357 The latter two were purportedly from
3358 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3361 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3362 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3363 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3366 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3367 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3370 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3371 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3372 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3373 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3375 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3376 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3377 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3380 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3381 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3382 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3383 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3384 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3385 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3388 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3390 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3391 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3394 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3395 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3397 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3398 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3399 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3400 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3403 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3404 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3407 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3408 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3409 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3410 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3411 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3412 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3413 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3417 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3418 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3419 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3420 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3423 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3424 under VC++ build system.
3427 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3428 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3431 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3433 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3434 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3435 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3436 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3437 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3439 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3440 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3441 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3443 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3446 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3447 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3450 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3451 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3453 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3456 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3457 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3459 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3460 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3463 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3464 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3468 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3470 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3473 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3476 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3477 key into the same file any more.
3480 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3483 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3484 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3486 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3487 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3490 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3491 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3492 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3493 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3494 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3495 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3497 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3498 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3499 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3502 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3503 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3504 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3505 - add new function for parameter creation
3506 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3507 BN_BLINDING parameters
3508 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3509 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3510 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3514 *) Add support for DTLS.
3515 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3517 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3518 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3521 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3522 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3525 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3526 the apps/openssl applications.
3529 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3530 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3531 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3534 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3535 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3537 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3538 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3540 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3541 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3542 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3543 avoid this algorithm.)
3547 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3548 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3549 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3552 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3553 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3556 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3557 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3558 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3561 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3563 The blank line is mandatory.
3567 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3568 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3572 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3573 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3575 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3576 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3577 to support policy checking and print out.
3580 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3581 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3582 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3583 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3585 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3588 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3589 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3591 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3592 implementation contributed by IBM.
3593 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3595 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3596 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3597 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3598 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3600 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3601 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3603 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3604 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3605 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3606 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3607 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3608 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3611 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3612 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3613 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3614 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3615 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3616 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3617 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3620 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3623 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3624 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3625 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3626 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3627 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3628 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3629 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3630 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3633 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3634 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3635 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3636 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3639 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3642 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3645 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3646 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3647 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3648 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3649 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3650 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3651 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3654 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3655 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3658 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3659 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3660 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3663 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3664 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3665 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3669 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3670 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3673 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3674 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3675 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3676 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3679 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3680 initialised value as BN_new().
3681 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3683 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3686 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3687 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3688 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3689 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3690 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3691 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3692 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3693 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3694 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3695 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3696 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3697 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3698 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3699 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3700 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3702 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3703 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3704 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3705 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3708 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3709 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3710 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3711 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3712 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3713 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3714 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3715 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3716 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3719 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3720 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3721 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3722 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3723 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3724 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3725 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3728 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3729 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3730 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3731 these have been updated also.
3734 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3735 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3736 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3737 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3738 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3742 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3743 structure of type "other".
3746 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3747 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3748 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3749 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3750 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3751 situation in the script.
3752 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3754 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3755 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3756 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3757 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3758 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3759 used as premaster secret.
3760 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3762 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3763 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3764 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3766 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3767 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3769 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3770 control of the error stack.
3773 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3776 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3777 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3778 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3779 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3782 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3783 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3784 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3787 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3788 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3789 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3793 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3794 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3795 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3796 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3799 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3800 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3801 the following flags are defined:
3803 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3804 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3805 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3808 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3809 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3810 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3811 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3815 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3816 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3817 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3818 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3819 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3822 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3823 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3824 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3827 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3828 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3829 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3830 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3831 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3832 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3835 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3839 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3842 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3845 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3848 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3849 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3850 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3851 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3852 default implementation more easily.
3855 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3859 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3860 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3863 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3864 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3865 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3866 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3868 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3869 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3870 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3871 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3874 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3875 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3879 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3880 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3881 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3882 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3883 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3884 scalar * generator).
3885 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3887 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3888 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3889 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3893 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3894 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3895 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3896 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3897 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3898 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3899 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3900 linker additions, eg;
3901 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3904 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3905 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3906 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3909 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3910 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3911 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3915 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3916 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3917 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3918 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3921 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3922 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3923 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3924 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3925 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3926 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3927 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3928 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3929 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3930 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3932 Example for using the new callback interface:
3934 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3938 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3940 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3941 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3942 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3943 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3944 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3945 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3950 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3951 available to TLS with the number defined in
3952 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3955 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3956 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3958 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3959 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3960 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3961 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3963 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3964 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3966 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3967 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3971 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3972 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3975 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3976 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3977 and a macro that behave like
3978 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3980 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3983 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3984 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3985 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3987 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3989 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3992 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3993 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3994 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3995 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3997 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3998 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3999 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4000 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4001 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4002 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4003 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4004 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4006 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4007 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
4010 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4011 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4013 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4014 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4015 files while avoiding the low level API.
4017 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4018 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4019 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4020 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4022 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4023 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4024 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4025 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4026 instead of the low level API.
4029 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4030 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4031 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4032 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4033 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4036 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4037 down to the template encoder.
4040 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4041 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4044 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4045 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4046 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4047 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4049 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4050 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4052 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4053 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4055 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4056 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4059 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4060 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4061 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4064 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4065 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4067 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4068 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4070 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4071 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4074 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4078 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4079 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4080 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4081 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4082 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4083 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4085 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4086 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4089 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4090 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4091 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4092 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4093 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4094 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4095 various internal method names.)
4097 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4098 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4100 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4101 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4103 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4104 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4106 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4107 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4108 methods are undefined.
4110 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4111 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4113 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4114 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4115 length of the modulus.
4117 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4118 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4120 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4121 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4123 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4124 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4126 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4127 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4128 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4131 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4132 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4133 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4134 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4136 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4137 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4138 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4139 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4141 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4142 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4144 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4145 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4146 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4147 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4148 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4150 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4151 This applies to the following functions:
4156 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4157 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4159 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4160 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4164 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4169 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4171 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4172 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4173 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4174 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4175 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4177 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4178 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4180 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4181 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4182 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4184 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4185 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4187 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4188 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4189 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4190 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4191 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4193 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4195 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4196 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4197 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4198 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4199 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4200 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4201 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4202 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4203 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4204 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4205 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4206 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4208 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4211 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4212 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4213 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4214 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4216 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4217 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4218 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4219 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4224 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4225 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4226 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4227 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4228 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4230 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4231 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4232 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4233 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4234 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4235 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4236 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4237 adding different types of curves.
4238 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4240 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4241 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4242 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4245 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4246 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4248 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4249 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4250 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4251 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4253 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4255 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4256 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4258 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4259 library. Most notably,
4260 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4261 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4262 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4263 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4264 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4265 extracted before the specific public key;
4266 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4267 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4269 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4270 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4272 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4273 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4274 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4275 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4277 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4278 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4279 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4281 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4282 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4283 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4284 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4285 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4286 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4290 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4292 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4294 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4296 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4297 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4298 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4301 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4302 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4303 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4306 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4309 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4310 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4313 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4314 run algorithm test programs.
4317 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4320 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4321 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4322 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4323 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4324 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4327 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4328 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4331 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4333 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4334 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4335 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4337 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4338 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4340 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4341 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4343 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4344 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4345 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4347 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4348 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4349 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4350 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4351 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4352 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4353 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4356 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4358 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4359 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4361 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4362 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4363 undesirable limitations.
4364 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4366 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4368 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4369 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4370 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4372 The latter two were purportedly from
4373 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4376 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4377 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4378 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4381 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4382 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4385 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4387 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4388 module in FIPS mode.
4391 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4394 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4395 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4396 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4397 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4400 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4402 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4403 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4404 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4405 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4406 the difference induced by this change.
4409 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4411 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4412 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4413 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4414 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4415 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4417 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4418 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4419 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4421 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4422 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4425 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4426 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4427 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4428 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4432 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4433 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4434 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4435 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4436 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4438 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4439 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4440 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4441 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4442 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4443 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4445 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4447 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4448 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4449 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4450 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4451 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4454 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4458 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4459 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4460 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4463 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4464 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4465 structures constant.
4468 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4470 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4473 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4474 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4475 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4476 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4477 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4478 some needed definitions.
4481 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4484 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4485 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4486 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4487 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4490 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4492 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4493 server and client random values. Previously
4494 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4495 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4497 This change has negligible security impact because:
4499 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4502 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4505 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4506 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4509 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4512 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4514 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4517 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4518 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4519 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4521 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4524 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4525 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4528 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4529 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4530 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4532 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4535 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4536 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4537 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4541 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4542 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4543 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4544 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4546 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4547 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4548 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4549 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4553 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4555 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4556 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4557 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4558 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4559 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4562 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4565 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4566 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4568 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4569 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4570 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4571 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4572 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4573 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4574 rather than being initialized to 1.
4577 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4579 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4580 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4581 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4583 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4585 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4587 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4588 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4589 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4590 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4591 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4592 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4595 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4596 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4597 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4598 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4599 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4603 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4604 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4605 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4606 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4607 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4610 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4611 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4612 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4616 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4617 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4619 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4622 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4624 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4626 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4627 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4629 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4631 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4632 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4636 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4637 exiting on the first error in a request.
4640 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4641 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4645 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4646 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4647 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4648 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4650 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4651 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4654 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4655 blocks during encryption.
4658 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4659 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4660 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4661 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4665 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4666 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4667 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4668 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4669 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4673 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4675 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4676 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4677 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4678 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4681 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4682 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4683 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4684 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4685 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4687 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4688 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4689 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4690 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4691 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4692 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4693 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4694 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4695 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4698 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4699 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4700 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4701 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4704 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4705 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4708 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4710 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4711 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4712 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4713 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4714 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4716 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4717 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4718 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4720 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4721 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4722 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4723 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4724 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4726 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4727 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4728 used by default when no-err is given.
4731 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4732 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4734 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4735 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4736 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4737 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4738 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4740 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4741 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4742 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4743 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4745 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4747 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4749 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4751 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4752 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4753 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4754 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4758 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4759 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4761 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4762 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4765 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4766 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4767 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4768 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4771 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4772 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4773 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4774 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4775 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4776 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4777 followup to PR #377.
4780 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4781 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4784 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4785 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4786 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

4808 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4809 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4810 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4811 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4812 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4813 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4815 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4816 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4817 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4818 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4819 have to be made anyway).
4822 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4823 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4824 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4827 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4828 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4829 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4832 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4833 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4834 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

4895 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4897 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4899 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4900 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4902 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4903 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4905 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4906 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4908 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4909 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4911 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4913 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4915 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4916 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4918 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4919 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4921 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4922 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4924 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4926 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4927 the 0.9.6 release series:
4929 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4930 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4932 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4934 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4937 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4938 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4940 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4941 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4943 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4944 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4945 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4946 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4948 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4949 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4950 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4952 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4953 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4954 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4955 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4957 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4958 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4959 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4962 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4963 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4964 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4965 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4966 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4967 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4968 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4969 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4972 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4973 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4974 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4977 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4978 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4979 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4980 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4981 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4983 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4984 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4986 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4987 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4990 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4991 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4992 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4993 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4994 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4995 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4998 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4999 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5000 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5003 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5004 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5007 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5008 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5009 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5010 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5011 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5012 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5013 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5016 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5017 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5018 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5019 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5020 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5021 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5024 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5025 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5026 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5027 declaration has been changed from
5030 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5031 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5032 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5033 has been changed into
5034 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5036 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5037 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5038 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5040 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5041 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5043 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5044 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5045 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5046 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5047 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5048 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5049 always load it have also been added.
5052 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5053 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5054 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5056 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5058 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5059 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5060 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5062 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5063 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5064 command line option can be used to specify an
5068 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5069 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5072 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5073 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5074 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5077 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5078 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5079 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5080 to work with the new engine framework.
5081 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5083 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5084 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5085 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5086 to work with the new engine framework.
5089 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5090 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5091 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5093 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5094 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5096 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5097 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5098 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5099 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5101 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5103 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5104 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5106 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5107 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5109 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5110 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5111 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5114 *) Add new functions
5116 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5117 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5118 These are similar to
5121 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5122 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5123 still in the error queue.
5124 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5126 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5128 default_algorithms = ALL
5129 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5132 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
5135 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5138 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5139 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5140 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5141 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5143 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5144 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5146 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5147 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5149 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5150 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5153 *) New functions/macros
5155 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5156 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5157 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5158 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5160 to request calling a callback function
5162 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5163 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5165 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5166 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5167 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5168 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5169 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5170 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5171 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5172 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5173 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5174 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5176 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5177 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5180 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5181 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5182 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5183 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5184 the configuration scripts.
5186 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5187 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5188 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5190 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5191 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5193 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5194 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5195 when reusing an existing buffer.
5198 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5199 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5202 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5203 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5206 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5207 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5208 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5209 has the same effect.
5210 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5212 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5213 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5214 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5215 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5216 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5217 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5220 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5221 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5222 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5223 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5225 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5226 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5227 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5228 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5230 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5231 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5234 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5235 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5236 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5237 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5238 default), and then completely removed.
5241 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5242 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5243 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5244 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5245 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5246 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5247 particular extension is supported.
5250 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5251 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5254 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5255 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5256 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5257 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5258 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5259 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5260 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5261 requires the destination to be valid.
5263 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5264 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5267 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5268 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5269 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5272 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5273 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5275 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5276 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5277 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5278 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5279 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5280 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5281 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5282 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5283 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5284 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5285 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5286 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5287 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5288 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5289 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5290 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5291 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5292 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5293 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5297 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5300 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5301 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5302 become part of libeay.num as well.
5305 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5306 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5307 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5308 false once a handshake has been completed.
5309 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5310 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5311 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5312 client has followed the request.)
5315 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5316 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5317 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5318 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5320 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5321 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5322 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5325 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5328 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5329 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5330 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5333 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5334 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5337 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5338 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5339 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5340 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5343 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5344 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5345 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5346 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5347 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5348 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5351 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5352 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5353 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5354 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5355 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5356 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5357 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5358 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5361 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5362 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5365 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5368 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5369 md_data void pointer.
5372 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5373 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5374 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5375 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5376 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5377 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5380 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5381 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5382 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5383 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5384 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5385 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5386 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5387 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5388 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5389 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5390 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5391 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5392 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5393 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5394 rather than letting it slide.
5396 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5397 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5398 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5401 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5402 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5403 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5404 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5405 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5406 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5407 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5408 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5409 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5412 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5413 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5414 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5415 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5416 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5418 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5421 *) Add EVP test program.
5424 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5427 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5428 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5429 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5430 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5431 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5434 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5435 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5436 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5437 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5438 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5439 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5440 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5442 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5443 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5444 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5449 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5450 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5451 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5452 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5453 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5457 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5458 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5459 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5460 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5463 des_key_schedule ks;
5465 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5466 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5468 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5471 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5472 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5473 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5474 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5475 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5476 functions prevents this.
5479 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5482 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5483 correct _ecb suffix.
5486 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5487 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5488 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5489 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5490 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5493 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5496 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5497 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5498 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5499 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5501 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5502 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5504 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5505 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5506 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5507 via Richard Levitte]
5509 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5510 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5511 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5512 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5515 *) Speed up EVP routines.

5533 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5534 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5536 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5537 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5538 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5539 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5540 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5541 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5544 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5545 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5548 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5549 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5550 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5551 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5553 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5554 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5555 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5556 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5557 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5558 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5562 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5563 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5564 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5565 and interrupts/cancellations.
5568 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5569 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5572 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5573 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5574 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5576 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5577 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5581 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5582 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5583 than this minimum value is recommended.
5586 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5587 that are easily reachable.
5590 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5591 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5593 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5595 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5596 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5597 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5598 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5601 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5602 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5603 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5606 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5607 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5608 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5609 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5610 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5611 internally such as S/MIME.
5613 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5614 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5615 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5617 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5621 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5622 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5623 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5624 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5626 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5628 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5630 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5631 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5632 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5636 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5637 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5638 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5639 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5640 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5641 a window system and the like.
5644 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5645 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5648 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5649 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5650 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5651 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5652 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5653 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5654 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5655 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5656 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5660 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5661 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5665 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5666 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5667 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5668 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5669 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5670 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5671 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5672 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5675 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5676 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5677 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5678 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5679 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5680 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5681 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5682 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5683 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5684 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5685 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5686 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5687 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5688 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5689 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5690 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5691 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5694 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5695 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5696 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5697 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5698 internal engine_int.h header.
5701 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5702 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5703 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5704 modify their own ones).
5707 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5708 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5709 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5710 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5711 later on via ctrl() commands.
5712 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5713 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5714 structural references.
5715 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5716 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5717 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5718 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5719 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5720 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5721 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5722 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5723 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5724 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5725 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5726 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5729 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5730 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5731 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5732 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5733 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5734 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5735 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5736 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5739 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5740 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5743 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5744 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5747 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5748 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5749 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5750 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5751 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5752 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5753 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5756 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5757 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5758 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5759 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5760 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5762 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5763 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5767 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5769 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5770 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5771 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5773 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5774 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5776 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5777 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5778 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5780 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5781 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5783 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5784 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5786 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5788 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5789 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5790 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5793 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5794 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5797 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5798 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5799 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5800 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5801 is 40 of more characters long.
5804 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5805 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5809 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5810 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5813 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5814 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5818 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5820 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5821 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5824 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5826 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5827 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5828 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5830 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5831 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5833 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5836 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5840 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5841 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5842 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5843 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5845 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5847 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5848 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5850 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5851 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5852 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5853 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5854 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5855 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5857 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5858 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5860 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5861 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5863 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5864 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5866 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5867 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5868 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5869 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5871 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5872 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5874 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5875 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5877 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5878 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5879 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5880 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5881 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5884 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5885 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5886 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5887 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5890 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5891 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5892 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5896 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5897 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5898 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5899 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5900 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5901 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5902 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5903 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5907 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5908 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5911 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5912 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5913 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5914 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5917 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5918 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5919 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5920 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5921 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5922 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5923 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5924 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5925 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5926 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5929 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5930 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5931 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5932 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5933 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5934 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5935 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5936 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5938 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5939 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5940 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5941 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5944 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5945 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5946 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5947 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5949 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5950 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5951 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5952 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5953 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5957 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5958 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5959 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5960 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5964 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5965 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5966 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5969 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5970 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5971 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5972 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5973 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5976 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5979 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5980 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5981 option to ocsp utility.
5984 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5985 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5986 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5987 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5988 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5989 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5990 the request is nonce-less.
5993 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5994 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5995 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5998 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5999 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6000 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6003 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6004 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6005 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6006 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6007 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6010 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6011 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6015 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6016 additional certificates supplied.
6019 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6020 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6024 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6025 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6028 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6029 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6030 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6031 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6032 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6033 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6034 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6035 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6036 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6038 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6039 request to response.
6042 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6043 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6044 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6045 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6046 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6047 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6048 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6049 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6050 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6051 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6052 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6055 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6056 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6057 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6058 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6061 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6062 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6064 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6065 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6066 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6069 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6070 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6071 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6072 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6073 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6075 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6076 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6077 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6080 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6081 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6082 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6083 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6084 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6085 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6086 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6087 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6089 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6090 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6091 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6092 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6093 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6094 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6097 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6098 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6099 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6100 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6101 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6102 printout format cleaned up.
6105 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6106 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6107 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6108 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6109 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6110 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6111 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6112 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6115 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6116 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6117 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6118 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6119 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6120 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6121 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6122 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6125 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6126 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6127 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6128 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6130 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6132 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6133 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6134 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6135 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6138 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6139 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6140 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6141 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6143 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6145 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6146 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6147 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6148 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6150 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6151 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6153 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6154 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6155 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6158 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6159 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6160 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6163 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6164 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6165 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6166 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6167 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6168 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6169 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6170 functions are provided:
6172 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6173 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6174 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6175 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6177 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6178 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6179 extended allocation function is enabled.
6180 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6181 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6182 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6184 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6185 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6186 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6187 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6188 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6191 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6192 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6193 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6195 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6196 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6197 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6200 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6201 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6202 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6203 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6204 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6205 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6206 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6207 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6208 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6211 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6212 provide utility functions which an application needing
6213 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6214 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6215 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6217 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6218 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6219 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6220 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6221 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6222 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6223 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6224 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6225 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6227 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6228 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6229 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6230 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6233 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6234 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6235 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6236 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6237 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6238 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6239 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6240 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6241 will be added elsewhere.
6244 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6245 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6246 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6247 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6250 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6251 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6252 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6253 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6254 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6255 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6256 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6257 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6258 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6259 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6260 to produce the required SET OF.
6263 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6264 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6265 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6268 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6269 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6270 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6271 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6272 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6273 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6276 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6277 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6278 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6281 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6282 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6283 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6286 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6287 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6288 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6289 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6290 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6293 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6294 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6297 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6298 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6299 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6300 certifcates and CRLs.
6303 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6304 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6305 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6308 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6309 entries for variables.
6312 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6313 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6314 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6315 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6318 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6319 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6320 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6321 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6322 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6323 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6326 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6327 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6329 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6330 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6331 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6334 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6338 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6339 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6340 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6341 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6342 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6343 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6346 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6349 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6350 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6351 for now but they will eventually go away.
6354 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6355 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6356 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6357 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6358 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6359 has also been converted to the new form.
6362 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6363 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6364 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6365 for negative moduli.
6368 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6369 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6372 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6376 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6377 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6378 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6379 type-specific callbacks.
6382 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6384 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6385 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6387 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6388 in sections depending on the subject.
6391 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6395 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6396 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6397 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6398 be handled deterministically).
6399 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6401 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6402 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6403 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6406 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6409 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6410 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6411 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6412 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6413 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6416 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6417 sign of the number in question.
6419 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6421 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6422 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6423 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6424 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6425 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6428 *) New function BN_swap.
6431 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6432 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6433 results on negative inputs.
6436 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6437 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6438 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6441 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6442 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6443 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6444 and add new functions:
6453 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6457 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6459 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6460 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6462 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6463 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6464 be reduced modulo m.
6465 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6468 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6469 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6470 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6472 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6473 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6474 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6475 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6476 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6477 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6482 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6483 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6484 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6485 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6486 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6488 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6489 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6490 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6494 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6497 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6498 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6501 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6502 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6503 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6504 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6508 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6511 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6514 *) Add the following functions:
6516 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6518 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6520 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6522 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6523 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6524 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6525 libraries unless it's really needed.
6527 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6528 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6529 declarations (they differed!).
6532 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6535 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6538 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6541 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6542 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6545 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6546 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6547 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6549 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6550 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6553 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6556 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6559 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6562 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6563 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6564 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6566 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6567 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6568 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6569 different shared library filenames on each system.
6572 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6575 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6576 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6577 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6579 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6582 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6583 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6584 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6585 binary backward compatibility.
6586 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6587 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6588 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6592 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6593 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6594 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6595 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6599 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6602 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6603 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6604 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6605 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6609 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6612 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6614 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6615 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6616 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6618 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6620 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6622 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6623 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6626 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6628 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6630 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6631 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6633 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6634 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6638 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6639 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6643 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6644 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6645 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6646 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6648 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6649 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6652 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6654 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6655 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6656 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6657 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6660 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6661 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6662 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6663 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6664 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6666 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6667 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6668 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6669 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6670 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6671 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6672 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6673 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6674 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6677 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6679 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6680 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6681 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6682 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6683 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6685 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6686 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6687 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6689 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6691 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6692 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6693 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6694 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6695 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6696 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6699 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6700 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6701 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6702 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6703 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6706 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6707 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6708 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6710 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6711 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6712 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6716 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6717 being properly terminated.
6720 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6721 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6722 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6723 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6725 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6726 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6727 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6728 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6729 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6730 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6731 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6733 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6735 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6736 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6739 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6740 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6741 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6742 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6743 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6744 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6745 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6746 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6748 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6749 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6750 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6751 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6752 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6754 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6755 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6758 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6760 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6761 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6762 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6764 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6766 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6767 and get fix the header length calculation.
6768 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6769 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6772 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6773 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6774 assertions could call abort()).
6775 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6777 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6779 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6780 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6781 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6783 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6785 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6786 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6787 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6790 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6794 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6795 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6796 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6798 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6799 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6800 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6801 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6802 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6806 *) Changes in security patch:
6808 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6809 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6810 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6813 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6814 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6815 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6816 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6817 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6819 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6821 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6823 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6824 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6825 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6827 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6828 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6829 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6831 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6832 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6833 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6835 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6837 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6838 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6839 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6841 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6842 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6844 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6845 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6846 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6847 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6848 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6849 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6852 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6853 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6854 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6855 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6858 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6861 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6862 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6863 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6864 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6865 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6866 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6868 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6869 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6870 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6871 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6872 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6875 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6876 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6877 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6878 BN_generate_prime().)
6880 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6881 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6882 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6886 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6887 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6890 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6891 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6892 when using non-blocking I/O.
6893 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6895 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6896 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6898 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6899 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6902 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6903 configuration for the versions before that.
6904 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6906 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6907 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6908 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6909 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6912 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6913 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6914 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6917 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6921 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6922 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6923 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6925 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6926 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6928 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6929 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6930 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6931 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6932 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6933 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6934 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6937 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6938 using a local variable.
6939 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6941 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6942 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6943 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6945 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6948 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6949 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6951 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6952 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6953 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6955 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6957 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6958 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6959 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6960 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6963 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6967 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6968 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6969 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6970 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6971 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6973 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6974 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6975 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6977 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6978 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6979 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6981 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6982 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6983 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6984 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6986 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6987 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6988 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6990 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6992 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6993 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6995 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6997 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6998 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6999 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7000 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7002 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7003 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7004 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7005 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7007 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7008 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7010 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7011 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7012 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7015 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7016 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7017 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7019 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7021 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7022 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7023 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7024 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7025 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7026 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7027 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7030 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7031 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7032 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7033 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7035 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7036 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7037 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7038 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7039 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7040 the client will at least see that alert.
7043 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7047 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7048 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7049 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7051 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7052 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
7053 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7054 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7057 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7058 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7059 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7061 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7062 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7063 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7064 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7065 may leak via logfiles.)
7067 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7068 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7069 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7070 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7074 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7075 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7078 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7079 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7080 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7081 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7082 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7085 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7086 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7088 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7089 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7090 followed by modular reduction.
7091 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
7093 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
7094 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
7097 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
7098 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
7099 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
7100 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
7103 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
7106 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
7107 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
7110 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
7111 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
7112 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
7113 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
7114 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
7115 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
7117 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
7119 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
7120 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
7121 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
7122 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
7123 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
7125 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
7128 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
7129 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
7130 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
7131 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
7132 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
7133 to allow the necessary settings.
7136 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
7137 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
7138 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
7139 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
7142 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
7143 dh->length and always used
7145 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
7147 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
7148 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
7149 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
7150 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
7151 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
7156 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
7158 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
7164 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
7165 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
7166 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
7167 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
7169 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
7170 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
7171 always reject numbers >= n.
7174 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
7175 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
7176 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
7177 variable) is not atomic.
7180 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7181 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7182 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7183 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7185 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7186 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7188 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7190 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7192 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7195 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7197 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7198 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7199 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7200 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7201 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7202 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7203 to traverse all of 'state'.
7205 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7206 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7207 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7209 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7210 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7212 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7213 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7214 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7215 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7216 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7217 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7218 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7219 further strengthens the PRNG.
7222 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7225 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7226 an error message in this case.
7229 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7232 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7233 positive and less than q.
7236 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7237 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7239 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7241 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7242 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7246 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7248 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7249 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7250 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7251 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7252 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7253 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7254 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7257 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7258 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7259 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7260 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7262 Both problems are now fixed.
7265 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7266 (previously it was 1024).
7269 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7270 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7273 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7276 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7277 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7278 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7281 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7282 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7283 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7284 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7285 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7286 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7287 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7288 environment variables.
7290 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7291 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7292 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7295 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7296 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7297 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7298 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7299 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7300 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7303 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7307 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7309 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7310 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7312 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7313 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7314 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7315 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7319 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7320 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7321 amount of data available.
7322 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7323 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7325 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7326 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7327 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7328 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7331 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7332 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7336 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7337 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7338 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7339 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7342 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7345 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7348 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7349 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7351 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7353 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7354 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7355 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7356 (but broken) behaviour.
7359 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7361 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7363 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7364 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7367 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7371 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7372 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7374 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7377 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7378 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7379 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7381 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7382 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7383 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7386 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7387 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7390 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7391 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7393 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7395 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7397 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7398 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7399 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7400 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7403 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7406 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7407 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7408 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7410 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7413 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7415 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7416 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7417 but the code is actually correct.
7420 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7421 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7422 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7423 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7424 and leaves the highest bit random.
7425 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7427 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7428 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7429 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7430 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7431 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7432 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7433 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7436 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7439 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7440 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7443 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7444 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7445 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7446 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7450 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7451 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7452 and break the signature.
7454 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7456 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7460 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7461 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7462 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7463 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7464 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7467 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7468 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7470 *) ./config script fixes.
7471 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7473 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7476 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7477 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7478 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7479 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7480 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7482 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7483 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7486 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7487 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7490 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7491 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7492 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7493 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7495 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7496 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7498 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7499 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7500 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7501 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7502 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7504 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7507 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7510 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7513 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7516 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7517 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7520 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7521 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7522 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7523 result of the server certificate verification.)
7526 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7527 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7528 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7532 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7533 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7534 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7535 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7536 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7537 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7538 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7539 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7542 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7543 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7544 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7545 happening the other way round.
7548 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7549 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7552 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7553 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7554 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7555 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7558 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7559 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7561 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7563 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7564 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7565 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7568 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7570 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7572 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7576 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7578 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7579 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7580 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7581 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7582 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7584 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7585 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7589 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7592 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7594 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7595 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7596 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7597 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7598 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7599 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7600 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7601 by the Finished messages.
7604 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7605 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7607 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7608 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7609 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7610 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7611 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7615 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7616 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7617 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7618 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7619 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7620 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7621 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7622 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7623 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7627 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7628 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7629 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7630 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7632 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7633 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7634 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7635 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7636 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7639 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7640 been tested well enough.
7643 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7644 it can return incorrect results.
7645 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7646 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7649 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7650 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7651 include zero length content when signing messages.
7654 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7655 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7658 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7661 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7665 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7666 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7667 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7668 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7669 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7670 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7673 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7674 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7676 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7677 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7679 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7680 random number < q in the DSA library.
7683 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7684 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7685 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7686 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7687 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7688 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7689 just makes things more complicated.)
7692 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7696 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7697 work better on such systems.
7698 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7700 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7701 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7702 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7705 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7706 if there was more than one signature.
7707 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7709 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7710 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7711 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7712 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7715 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7716 rather than always using the current time.
7719 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7720 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7721 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7722 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7723 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7724 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7726 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7727 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7729 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7731 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7732 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7733 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7734 the same hash value.
7736 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7737 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7738 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7739 with X509_STORE internally.
7741 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7742 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7744 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7745 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7746 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7747 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7748 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7749 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7750 entirely (maybe later...).
7752 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7754 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7755 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7756 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7757 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7758 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7759 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7760 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7761 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7763 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7764 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7766 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7767 to customise the verify behaviour.
7770 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7771 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7774 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7775 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7776 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7777 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7778 request is improperly encoded.
7781 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7782 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7785 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7786 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7788 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7789 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7793 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7794 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7795 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7798 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7799 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7800 BIO/fp routines also added.
7803 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7804 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7806 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7807 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7808 demos/state_machine.
7811 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7812 generation and verification.
7815 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7816 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7817 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7818 encode and decode it manually.
7821 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7823 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7825 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7826 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7827 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7828 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7830 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7831 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7832 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7833 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7834 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7837 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7840 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7841 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7842 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7844 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7845 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7846 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7847 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7848 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7849 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7850 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7851 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7853 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7854 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7856 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7858 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7859 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7860 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7864 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7865 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7866 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7867 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7871 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7873 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7876 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7877 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7878 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7879 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7880 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7881 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7882 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7883 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7884 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7885 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7886 short or long names are found.
7889 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7890 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7892 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7893 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7894 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7895 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7897 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7898 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7899 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7900 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7903 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7904 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7905 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7908 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7909 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7910 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7911 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7912 to allow the various flags to be set.
7915 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7916 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7917 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7918 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7919 dates to be checked.
7922 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7923 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7924 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7927 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7928 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7929 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7932 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7933 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7936 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7937 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7938 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7939 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7940 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7941 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7944 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7945 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7949 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7953 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7954 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7955 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7956 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7957 form signing output easier to verify.
7960 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7963 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7964 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7965 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7966 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7967 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7968 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7969 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7970 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7971 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7972 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7975 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7977 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7978 the syntax given in objects.README.
7979 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7981 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7984 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7985 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7986 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7987 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7988 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7989 consistent name changes.
7992 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7995 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7996 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7997 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7998 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8001 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8002 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8003 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8007 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8008 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8009 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8010 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8013 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8014 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8015 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8016 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8017 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8018 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8019 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8020 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8021 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8022 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8023 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8026 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8027 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8028 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8029 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
8030 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8031 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8032 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8033 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8034 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8035 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8038 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8039 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8040 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8041 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8043 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8044 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8045 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8046 omit any duplicate addresses.
8049 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8050 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8053 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8054 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8055 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8056 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8057 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8060 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8062 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8063 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8064 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8065 Free => OPENSSL_free
8068 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8069 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8072 *) CygWin32 support.
8073 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8075 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8076 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8077 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8078 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8079 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8083 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8084 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8085 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8086 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8087 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8088 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8089 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8092 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
8093 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
8094 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
8095 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
8096 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
8097 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
8098 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
8099 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
8100 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
8101 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
8102 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
8105 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
8106 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
8107 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
8108 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
8109 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
8111 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
8112 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
8113 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
8114 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
8115 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
8117 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
8120 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
8121 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
8122 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
8123 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
8125 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
8127 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
8130 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
8131 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
8132 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
8135 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
8136 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
8137 any installed hardware versions can.
8140 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
8141 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
8142 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
8146 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
8147 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
8148 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
8149 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
8150 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
8152 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
8153 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
8156 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
8157 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
8160 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
8161 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
8162 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
8166 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
8169 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
8170 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
8171 but no ssl client purpose.
8172 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
8174 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
8175 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
8176 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
8177 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
8178 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
8179 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8180 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8181 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8182 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8183 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8184 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8187 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8188 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8189 be obtained from the error queue.
8192 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8193 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8194 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8195 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8198 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8201 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8202 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8203 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8204 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8205 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8208 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8209 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8210 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8211 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8212 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8215 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8216 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8217 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8219 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8221 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8222 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8223 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8224 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8225 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8226 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8227 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8228 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8229 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8230 or "the configuration storage API"...
8232 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8234 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8235 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8237 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8239 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8241 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8242 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8243 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8244 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8245 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8246 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8247 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8249 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8250 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8253 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8254 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8255 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8256 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8259 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8260 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8261 them in a portable way.
8262 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8264 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8266 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8268 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8269 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8271 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8272 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8273 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8276 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8277 was larger than the MD block size.
8278 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8280 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8281 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8282 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8283 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8287 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8288 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8289 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8291 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8293 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8295 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8296 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8297 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8298 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8299 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8300 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8302 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8303 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8305 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8306 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8309 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8312 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8313 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8315 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8316 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8317 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
8318 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8321 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8322 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8323 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8324 does not suppress any output.
8327 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8328 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8329 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8330 with all the associated security issues.
8332 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8333 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8334 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8335 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8336 use the value in the default purpose.
8339 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8340 and fix a memory leak.
8343 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8344 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8345 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8346 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8349 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8350 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8351 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8352 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8355 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8356 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8357 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8360 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8361 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8364 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8365 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8369 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8370 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8373 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8374 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8375 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8378 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8379 number generation fails.
8382 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8385 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8386 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8388 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8391 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8392 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8394 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8395 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8397 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8399 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8400 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8403 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8404 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8406 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8407 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8410 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8411 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8412 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8413 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8414 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8415 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8417 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8418 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8419 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8423 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8424 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8425 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8426 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8427 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8428 counter, some don't.)
8429 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8430 counters or duplicate objects.
8433 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8434 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8437 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8438 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8439 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8441 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8442 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8443 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8447 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8448 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8451 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8452 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8453 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8457 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8458 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8459 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8462 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8463 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8464 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8465 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8466 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8467 should work without changes.
8470 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8471 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8472 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8473 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8474 must be defined. E.g.,
8475 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8476 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8477 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8478 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8480 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8484 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8485 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8486 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8489 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8490 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8491 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8492 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8495 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8496 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8497 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8498 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8499 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8500 is prompted for as usual.
8503 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8504 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8505 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8506 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8508 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8509 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8510 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8511 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8514 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8517 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8521 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8524 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8527 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8531 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8534 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8537 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8538 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8541 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8542 options to produce them.
8545 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8546 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8549 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8553 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8554 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8555 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8556 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8557 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8558 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8559 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8562 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8565 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8566 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8567 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8570 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8571 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8573 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8574 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8577 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8578 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8579 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8583 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8584 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8586 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8587 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8588 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8589 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8590 generation becomes much faster.
8592 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8593 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8594 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8595 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8596 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8597 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8598 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8599 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8600 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8601 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8604 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8605 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8606 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8607 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8608 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8609 trial division stage.
8612 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8616 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8619 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8622 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8623 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8624 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8628 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8629 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8630 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8633 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8634 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8635 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8636 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8638 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8639 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8642 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8645 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8646 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8647 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8648 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8651 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8652 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8653 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8656 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8657 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8658 (instead of parameters) in future.
8661 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8662 when a new cipher list is set.
8665 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8666 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8669 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8670 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8671 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8673 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8674 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8675 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8676 an error is flagged.
8678 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8679 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8680 the readability was also increased :-)
8681 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8683 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8684 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8685 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8686 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8690 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8691 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8694 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8695 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8696 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8697 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8700 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8701 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8702 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8703 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8704 because they handle more complex structures.)
8707 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8708 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8709 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8710 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8712 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8713 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8714 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8715 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8716 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8717 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8718 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8721 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8722 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8723 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8724 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8725 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8728 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8731 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8732 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8733 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8734 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8735 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8738 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8742 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8743 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8744 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8745 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8748 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8751 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8752 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8753 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8754 international characters are used.
8756 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8757 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8758 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8762 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8763 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8764 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8767 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8768 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8769 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8770 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8771 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8772 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8774 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8775 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8776 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8777 be handled by the string table functions.
8779 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8780 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8781 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8782 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8783 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8787 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8788 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8789 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8790 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8791 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8793 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8794 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8795 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8796 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8799 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8800 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8801 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8802 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8803 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8807 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8808 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8809 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8810 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8811 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8812 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8813 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8814 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8816 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8817 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8818 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8821 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8822 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8823 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8824 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8825 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8826 support to pkcs8 application.
8829 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8830 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8831 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8832 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8833 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8834 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8837 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8838 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8839 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8840 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8841 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8845 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8846 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8847 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8848 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8852 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8853 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8854 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8855 and any application specific purposes.
8857 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8858 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8859 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8860 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8861 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8862 if the certificate is self signed.
8865 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8866 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8869 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8870 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8871 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8872 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8875 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8876 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8877 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8878 Update documentation.
8881 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8882 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8883 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8884 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8885 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8888 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8890 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8892 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8893 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8894 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8895 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8896 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8897 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8898 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8899 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8900 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8901 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8903 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8905 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8906 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8907 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8908 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8909 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8911 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8912 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8913 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8914 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8915 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8916 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8917 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8918 request additional information:
8919 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8920 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8922 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8923 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8924 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8927 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8928 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8931 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8934 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8935 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8937 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8938 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8939 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8943 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8944 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8945 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8947 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8948 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8949 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8950 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8951 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8952 included in OpenSSL.
8955 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8956 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8957 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8958 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8959 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8960 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8963 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8967 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8968 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8969 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8970 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8971 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8975 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8979 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8980 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8981 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8982 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8983 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8984 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8985 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8986 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8987 be maintained manually.
8989 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8990 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8991 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8992 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8993 work because people forget to call this function]
8994 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8995 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8996 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8999 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9000 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9001 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9002 should be discouraged from doing it.
9005 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9006 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9007 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9008 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9009 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9010 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9013 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9014 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9015 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9017 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9018 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9019 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9021 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9022 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9023 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9024 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9025 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9026 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9028 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9029 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9030 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9032 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9033 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9036 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9037 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9038 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9039 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9042 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9045 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9046 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9047 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9048 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9049 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9050 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9051 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9052 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9053 keys so we should be OK.
9055 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9056 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9057 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9058 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9059 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9060 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9061 stay in the name of compatibility.
9063 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9064 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9065 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9067 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9068 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9069 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9070 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9071 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9072 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9076 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9077 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9078 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9079 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9080 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9081 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9082 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9083 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9084 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9085 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9086 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9087 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9088 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9091 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
9094 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
9095 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
9096 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
9097 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
9098 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
9099 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
9100 single self signed certificate. This means that:
9101 openssl verify ss.pem
9102 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
9103 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
9107 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
9108 (and add it to external session representation).
9109 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
9110 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
9111 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
9112 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
9113 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
9114 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
9116 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
9118 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
9119 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
9120 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
9121 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
9123 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
9124 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
9125 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
9128 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
9129 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
9130 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
9134 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
9135 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
9136 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
9138 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
9139 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
9140 certificate auxiliary information.
9143 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
9147 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
9148 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
9149 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
9150 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
9151 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
9152 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
9153 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
9156 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
9157 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
9160 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
9161 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9162 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
9163 manpages and fix a few bugs.
9166 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
9169 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
9170 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
9173 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
9174 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
9175 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
9176 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
9177 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
9178 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
9179 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9180 using the new 'x509' options.
9182 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9183 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9184 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9185 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9189 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9190 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9191 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9192 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9193 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9196 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9197 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9198 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9199 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9200 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9201 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9202 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9203 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9204 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9205 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9208 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9209 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9210 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9211 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9212 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9213 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9214 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9217 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9218 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9219 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9220 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9221 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9222 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9223 openssl.cnf for more info.
9226 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9227 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9228 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9229 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9230 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9231 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9232 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9233 md should be large enough anyway.
9236 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9237 for handling the random seed file.
9239 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9241 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9244 x509 (when signing).
9245 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9246 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9247 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9249 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9250 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9251 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9252 that support '-rand'.
9255 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9256 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9259 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9260 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9263 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9264 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9265 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9266 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9270 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9271 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9272 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9273 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9276 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9277 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9278 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9279 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9280 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9281 print out all the purposes.
9284 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9288 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9289 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9290 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9291 single function call.
9294 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9295 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9298 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9299 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9300 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9303 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9304 when producing the local key id.
9305 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9307 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9308 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9309 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9313 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9314 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9315 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9316 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9319 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9320 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9321 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9322 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9324 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9325 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9326 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9327 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9329 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9330 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9331 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9332 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9333 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9334 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9335 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9336 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9337 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9338 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9339 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9340 trivial: move one line.
9341 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9343 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9344 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9345 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9346 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9347 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9348 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9349 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9350 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9351 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9352 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9353 with an event loop for example.
9356 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9357 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9358 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9359 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9360 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9361 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9362 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9363 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9364 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9367 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9368 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9369 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9370 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9371 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9372 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9375 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9376 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9377 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9378 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9380 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9381 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9382 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9383 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9387 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9388 (still largely untested)
9391 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9392 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9395 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9396 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9399 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9400 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9401 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9404 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9405 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9406 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9407 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9408 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9411 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9414 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9415 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9416 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9417 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9418 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9422 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9423 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9426 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9429 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9430 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9431 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9432 are otherwise ignored at present.
9435 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9436 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9437 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9438 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9439 copied until the next read.
9442 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9443 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9444 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9447 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9448 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9449 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9450 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9451 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9452 associated functions.
9455 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9456 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9457 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9458 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9459 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9460 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9461 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9462 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9463 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9467 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9468 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9469 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9470 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9473 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9474 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9475 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9476 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9477 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9481 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9482 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9486 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9487 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9488 extensions to be obtained and added.
9491 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9492 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9495 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9497 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9500 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9501 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9503 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9507 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9508 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9509 DH parameters contain its length).
9511 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9512 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9513 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9514 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9515 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9516 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9517 utter importance to use
9518 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9520 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9521 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9522 attacks may become possible!
9525 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9528 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9529 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9532 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9533 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9534 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9538 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9539 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9540 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9541 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9542 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9543 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9544 private key operations.
9547 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9550 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9551 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9553 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9554 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9555 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9556 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9557 the password callback is called.
9558 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9560 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9562 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9563 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9564 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9565 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9566 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9567 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9570 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9571 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9572 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9573 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9574 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9575 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9578 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9581 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9582 delete an unused file.
9585 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9586 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9587 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9588 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9591 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9592 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9593 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9597 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9598 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9599 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9601 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9602 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9603 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9604 comparison" warnings.
9605 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9608 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9609 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9610 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9613 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9614 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9616 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9617 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9619 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9620 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9621 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9623 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9624 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9625 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9626 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9627 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9629 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9631 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9632 The interface is as follows:
9633 Applications can use
9634 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9635 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9636 "off" is now the default.
9637 The library internally uses
9638 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9639 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9640 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9642 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9643 even the default) are now avoided.
9645 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9646 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9647 than just having a counter.
9649 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9651 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9655 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9656 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9657 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9658 Initial "mode" flags are:
9660 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9661 a single record has been written.
9662 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9663 retries use the same buffer location.
9664 (But all of the contents must be
9668 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9671 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9672 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9674 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9675 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9676 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9679 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9680 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9682 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9684 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9685 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9686 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9687 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9689 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9690 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9692 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9693 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9694 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9695 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9696 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9697 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9700 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9701 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9702 necessary function names.
9705 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9706 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9707 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9708 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9711 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9712 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9713 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9716 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9717 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9718 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9719 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9721 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9725 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9726 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9727 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9730 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9731 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9735 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9736 for the encoded length.
9737 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9739 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9742 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9743 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9744 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9745 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9748 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9749 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9750 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9752 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9753 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9754 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9758 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9759 to use the new extension code.
9762 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9763 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9764 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9768 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9769 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9770 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9774 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9777 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9778 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9779 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9782 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9783 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9784 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9785 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9788 *) DES library cleanups.
9791 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9792 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9793 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9794 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9795 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9799 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9800 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9803 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9804 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9805 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9806 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9807 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9808 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9809 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9810 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9811 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9814 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9815 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9816 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9817 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9818 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9819 value doesn't matter.
9822 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9826 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9827 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9828 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9829 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9831 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9834 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9835 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9836 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9838 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9839 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9841 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9844 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9847 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9850 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9854 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9856 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9858 *) Updated some demos.
9859 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9861 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9864 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9867 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9870 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9871 instead of using a fixed path.
9874 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9877 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9881 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9883 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9884 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9885 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9887 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9888 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9889 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9890 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9891 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9892 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9893 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9894 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9895 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9896 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9899 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9900 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9903 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9904 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9905 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9906 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9907 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9909 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9912 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9913 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9914 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9917 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9920 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9921 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9922 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9923 key elements as negative integers.
9926 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9927 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9930 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9932 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9933 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9934 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9937 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9938 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9939 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9940 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9941 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9944 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9947 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9948 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9949 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9950 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9952 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9953 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9954 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9956 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9957 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9958 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9959 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9960 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9961 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9962 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9963 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9964 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9966 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9967 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9968 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9969 does not influence s as it used to.
9971 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9972 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9973 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9974 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9975 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9976 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9979 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9980 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9981 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9985 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9986 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9987 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9991 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9992 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9993 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9997 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9998 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10001 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10002 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10004 *) Support Mingw32.
10007 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10008 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10010 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10011 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10013 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10016 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10019 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10020 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10022 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10023 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10024 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10028 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10029 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10030 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10031 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10032 now it really counts the depth.
10035 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10036 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10037 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10038 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10039 didn't match the private key).
10041 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10042 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10043 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10046 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10049 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10053 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10054 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10055 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10058 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10061 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10062 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10063 such as /usr/local/bin.
10066 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10067 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10069 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10072 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10073 extension adding in x509 utility.
10076 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10079 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10083 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10086 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10087 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10088 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10089 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10090 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10091 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
10092 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
10093 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
10094 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
10095 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
10098 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
10101 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
10102 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
10105 *) Fix some race conditions.
10108 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
10109 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
10112 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
10115 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
10116 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
10117 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
10118 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
10120 *) Fix lots of warnings.
10121 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10123 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
10124 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
10125 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10127 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
10128 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10130 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
10133 *) Fix typos in error codes.
10134 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
10136 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
10139 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
10140 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10142 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
10143 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
10146 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
10147 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
10150 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
10151 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
10154 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
10155 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
10158 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
10159 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
10162 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
10163 support typesafe stack.
10166 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
10167 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
10169 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
10170 old X509V3 handling code.
10173 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
10176 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
10179 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10182 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10183 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10185 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10186 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10187 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10188 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10189 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10192 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10193 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10194 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10195 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10196 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10198 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10199 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10200 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10201 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10203 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10204 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10205 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10206 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10208 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10209 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10210 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10211 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10212 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10213 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10216 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10217 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10220 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10221 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10224 *) Tweaks to Configure
10225 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10227 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10231 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10234 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10235 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10238 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10239 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10240 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10243 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10246 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10247 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10250 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10251 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10252 to library startup routines.
10255 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10256 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10257 codes along the way.
10260 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10261 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10262 objects to objects.h
10265 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10266 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10269 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10270 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10272 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10273 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10274 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10276 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10277 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10278 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10280 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10281 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10282 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10285 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10287 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10288 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10291 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10292 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10293 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10294 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10295 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10297 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10298 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10299 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10301 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10303 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10305 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10307 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10308 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10310 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10311 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10312 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10313 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10315 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10318 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10319 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10320 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10321 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10324 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10325 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10326 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10329 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10330 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10331 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10332 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10333 installed as `perl').
10334 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10336 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10337 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10339 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10340 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
10341 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10342 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10343 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10346 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10349 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10350 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10351 is horrible: I feel ill....
10354 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10355 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10356 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10357 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10360 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10361 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10363 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10364 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10365 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10366 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10368 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10369 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10370 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10371 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10372 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10373 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10375 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10377 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10378 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10380 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10381 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10383 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10386 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10387 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10391 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10392 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10393 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10394 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10395 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10396 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10397 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10398 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10399 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10400 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10401 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10403 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10406 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10407 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10408 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10409 for linking it into DSOs.
10410 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10412 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10416 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10417 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10418 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10419 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10420 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10421 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10423 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10424 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10425 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10426 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10427 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10428 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10429 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10431 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10432 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10433 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10437 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10438 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10439 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10440 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10443 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10444 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10445 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10446 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10447 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10451 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10452 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10453 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10454 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10455 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10457 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10458 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10459 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10461 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10462 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10464 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10465 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10466 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10467 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10468 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10471 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10472 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10473 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10474 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10475 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10476 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10477 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10480 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10482 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10483 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10486 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10487 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10489 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10490 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10493 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10494 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10495 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10496 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10497 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10499 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10500 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10501 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10502 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10503 no way to reconfigure them.
10504 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10505 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10506 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10507 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10508 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10509 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10511 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10512 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10513 recognized by the users.
10514 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10516 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10517 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10518 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10519 already masked variable.
10520 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10522 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10523 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10525 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10526 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10527 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10528 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10530 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10531 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10532 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10534 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10535 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10536 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10537 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10538 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10539 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10540 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10541 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10543 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10545 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10546 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10547 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10549 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10550 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10554 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10555 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10557 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10558 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10559 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10560 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10563 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10566 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10567 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10569 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10572 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10573 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10576 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10577 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10580 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10581 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10582 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10583 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10584 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10585 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10586 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10589 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10590 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10592 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10593 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10594 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10595 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10596 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10598 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10599 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10600 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10603 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10604 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10608 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10609 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10610 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10612 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10613 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10614 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10615 build instructions.
10618 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10619 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10620 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10621 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10624 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10625 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10626 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10627 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10630 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10631 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10632 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10633 so it wasn't spotted.
10634 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10636 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10637 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10638 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10639 vectors if you have them.
10642 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10643 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10646 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10647 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10648 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10649 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10651 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10652 it will update them.
10655 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10656 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10657 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10658 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10659 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10660 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10661 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10662 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10664 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10665 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10666 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10667 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10668 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10669 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10670 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10671 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10672 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10673 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10675 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10676 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10677 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10678 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10679 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10682 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10686 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10687 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10689 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10690 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10692 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10693 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10696 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10697 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10699 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10700 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10702 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10705 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10709 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10710 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10711 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10712 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10714 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10717 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10720 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10723 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10724 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10727 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10728 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10732 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10733 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10736 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10737 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10738 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10741 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10742 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10743 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10744 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10745 properly to be processed.
10748 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10749 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10750 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10753 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10754 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10756 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10757 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10758 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10759 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10760 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10761 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10762 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10763 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10764 or delete all the .err files.
10767 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10768 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10769 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10770 to regenerate it if needed.
10771 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10772 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10774 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10775 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10777 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10778 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10779 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10780 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10781 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10784 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10785 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10787 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10788 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10790 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10791 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10792 error, but didn't set one).
10793 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10795 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10798 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10799 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10802 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10803 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10805 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10806 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10807 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10808 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10809 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10810 OID is not part of the table.
10813 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10814 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10817 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10820 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10821 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10825 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10826 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10828 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10830 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10832 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10833 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10835 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10836 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10838 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10839 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10841 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10842 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10845 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10846 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10849 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10850 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10852 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10853 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10855 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10856 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10858 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10859 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10861 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10862 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10863 unused in the certificate verification process.
10864 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10866 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10867 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10870 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10871 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10872 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10874 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10875 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10876 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10877 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10878 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10880 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10881 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10884 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10887 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10890 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10891 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10893 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10896 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10899 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10902 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10903 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10904 other error libraries.
10907 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10910 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10911 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10915 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10916 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10917 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10918 the new set of documenation files.
10919 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10921 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10922 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10923 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10924 number of arguments.
10925 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10927 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10930 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10931 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10932 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10934 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10937 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10941 unixware-2.0-pentium
10945 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10946 before they are needed.
10949 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10953 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10955 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10956 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10957 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10959 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10962 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10963 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10964 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10966 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10967 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10968 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10970 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10971 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10972 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10974 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10975 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10977 *) Updated the README file.
10978 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10980 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10981 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10982 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10984 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10985 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10986 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10988 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10989 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10990 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10991 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10992 o removed obsolete TODO file
10993 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10994 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10996 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10997 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10998 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

11001 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11002 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11004 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11007 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11008 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11009 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11011 [The OpenSSL Project]
11014 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
11016 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
11019 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
11022 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
11023 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11026 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
11027 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
11031 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
11033 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
11035 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
11038 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
11041 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
11044 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
11047 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
11050 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
11053 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
11056 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
11059 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
11062 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
11065 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
11068 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
11071 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
11074 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
11077 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
11080 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
11083 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
11086 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
11087 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
11088 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11091 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
11092 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
11095 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
11098 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
11101 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
11102 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
11105 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
11108 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
11111 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
11112 bytes sent in the client random.
