4 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
6 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
10 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
11 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
12 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
13 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
14 printout format cleaned up.
17 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
18 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
19 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
20 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
21 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
22 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
23 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
24 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
27 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
28 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
29 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
30 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
31 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
32 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
33 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
34 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
37 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
38 extensions from a separate configuration file.
39 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
40 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
42 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
44 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
45 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
46 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
47 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
48 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
50 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
51 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
52 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
53 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
56 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
57 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
58 the given serial number (according to the index file).
59 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
61 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
63 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
64 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
65 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
66 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
68 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
69 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
71 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
72 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
73 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
76 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
77 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
78 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
81 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
82 call failed, free the DSA structure.
85 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
86 file name and line number information in additional arguments
87 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
88 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
89 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
90 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
91 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
92 functions are provided:
94 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
95 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
96 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
97 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
99 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
100 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
101 extended allocation function is enabled.
102 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
103 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
104 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
106 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
107 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
110 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
111 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
112 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
113 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
114 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
117 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
118 If an EGD or PRNGD is running and enough entropy is returned, automatic
119 seeding like with /dev/[u]random will be performed.
120 Positions tried are: /etc/entropy, /var/run/egd-pool.
123 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
124 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
125 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
126 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
127 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
128 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
129 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
130 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
131 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
134 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
135 provide utility functions which an application needing
136 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
137 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
138 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
140 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
141 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
142 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
143 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
144 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
145 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
146 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
147 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
148 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
150 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
151 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
152 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
153 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
156 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
157 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
158 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
159 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
160 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
161 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
162 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
163 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
164 will be added elsewhere.
167 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
168 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
169 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
170 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
173 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
174 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
175 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
176 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
177 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
178 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
179 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
180 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
181 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
182 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
183 to produce the required SET OF.
186 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
187 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
188 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
191 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
192 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
193 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
194 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
195 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
196 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
199 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
200 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
201 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
204 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
205 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
206 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
209 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
210 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
211 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
212 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
213 code will still work when these eventually go away.
216 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
217 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
220 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
221 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
222 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
223 certifcates and CRLs.
226 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
227 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
228 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
231 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
232 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
233 when writing a 32767 byte record.
234 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
236 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
237 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
239 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
240 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
241 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
242 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
243 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
245 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
246 entries for variables.
249 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
252 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
253 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
254 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
255 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
258 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
259 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
260 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
261 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
262 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
263 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
266 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
267 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
269 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
270 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
271 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
274 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
278 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
279 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
280 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
281 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
282 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
283 order did not reflect the encoded order.
286 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
289 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
290 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
291 for now but they will eventually go away.
294 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
295 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
296 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
297 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
298 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
299 has also been converted to the new form.
302 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
303 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
304 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
308 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
309 of not touching the result's sign bit.
312 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
316 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
317 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
318 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
319 type-specific callbacks.
322 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
325 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
327 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
328 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
330 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
333 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
336 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
337 in sections depending on the subject.
340 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
344 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
345 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
346 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
347 be handled deterministically).
348 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
350 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
351 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
352 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
353 result of the server certificate verification.)
356 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
357 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
358 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
361 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
362 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
363 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
367 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
368 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
369 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
370 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
371 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
372 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
373 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
374 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
377 *) New function BN_kronecker.
380 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
381 positive unless both parameters are zero.
382 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
383 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
384 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
387 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
388 sign of the number in question.
390 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
392 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
393 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
394 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
395 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
396 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
399 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
400 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
401 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
402 happening the other way round.
405 *) New function BN_swap.
408 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
409 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
410 results on negative inputs.
413 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
414 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
415 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
418 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
419 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
420 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
421 and add new functions:
434 These functions always generate non-negative results.
436 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
437 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
439 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
440 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
442 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
444 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
445 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
446 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
447 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
448 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
449 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
453 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
454 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
455 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
456 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
457 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
459 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
460 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
461 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
465 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
468 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
469 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
472 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
473 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
476 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
477 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
478 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
479 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
483 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
486 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
489 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
490 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
491 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
492 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
495 *) Add the following functions:
501 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
503 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
504 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
505 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
506 libraries unless it's really needed.
508 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
509 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
510 declarations (they differed!).
513 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
516 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
519 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
522 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
523 identity, and test if they are actually available.
526 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
527 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
529 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
530 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
531 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
533 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
535 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
537 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
538 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
541 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
544 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
547 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
550 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
551 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
552 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
554 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
555 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
556 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
557 different shared library filenames on each system.
560 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
563 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
566 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
567 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
568 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
570 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
573 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
574 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
575 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
576 binary backward compatibility.
577 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
578 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
579 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
583 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
584 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
586 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
588 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
589 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
590 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
593 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
595 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
597 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
601 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
602 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
603 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
604 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
608 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
611 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
612 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
613 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
614 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
618 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
621 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
623 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
624 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
625 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
626 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
627 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
629 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
630 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
634 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
636 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
637 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
638 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
639 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
640 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
641 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
642 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
643 by the Finished messages.
646 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
647 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
649 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
650 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
651 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
652 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
653 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
657 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
658 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
659 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
660 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
661 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
662 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
663 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
664 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
665 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
669 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
670 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
671 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
672 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
674 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
675 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
676 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
677 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
678 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
681 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
682 been tested well enough.
685 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
686 it can return incorrect results.
687 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
688 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
691 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
692 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
693 include zero length content when signing messages.
696 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
697 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
700 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
703 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
707 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
708 packages. The default package contains applications, application
709 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
710 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
711 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
712 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
715 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
716 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
718 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
719 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
721 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
722 random number < q in the DSA library.
725 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
726 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
727 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
728 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
729 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
730 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
731 just makes things more complicated.)
734 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
738 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
739 work better on such systems.
740 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
742 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
743 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
744 keyid to the certificates aux info.
747 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
748 if there was more than one signature.
749 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
751 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
752 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
753 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
754 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
757 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
758 rather than always using the current time.
761 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
762 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
763 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
764 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
765 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
766 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
768 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
769 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
771 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
773 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
774 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
775 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
778 As a result various functions (which were all internal
779 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
780 structure. This will break anything that messed round
781 with X509_STORE internally.
783 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
784 exact match, rather than just subject name.
786 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
787 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
788 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
789 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
790 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
791 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
792 entirely (maybe later...).
794 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
796 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
797 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
798 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
799 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
800 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
801 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
802 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
803 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
805 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
806 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
808 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
809 to customise the verify behaviour.
812 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
813 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
816 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
817 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
818 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
819 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
820 request is improperly encoded.
823 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
824 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
827 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
828 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
830 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
831 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
835 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
836 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
837 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
840 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
841 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
842 BIO/fp routines also added.
845 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
846 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
848 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
849 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
853 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
854 generation and verification.
857 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
858 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
859 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
860 encode and decode it manually.
863 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
865 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
867 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
868 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
869 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
870 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
872 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
873 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
874 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
875 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
876 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
879 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
882 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
883 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
884 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
886 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
887 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
888 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
889 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
890 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
891 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
892 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
893 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
895 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
896 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
898 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
900 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
901 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
902 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
906 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
907 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
908 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
909 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
913 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
915 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
918 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
919 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
920 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
921 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
922 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
923 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
924 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
925 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
926 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
927 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
928 short or long names are found.
931 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
932 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
934 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
935 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
936 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
937 version rollback attacks was not effective.
939 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
940 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
941 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
942 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
945 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
946 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
947 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
950 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
951 these print out strings and name structures based on various
952 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
953 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
954 to allow the various flags to be set.
957 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
958 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
959 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
960 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
964 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
965 negative public key encodings) on by default,
966 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
969 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
970 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
971 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
974 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
975 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
978 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
979 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
980 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
981 are always statically linked for now, but there are
982 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
983 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
986 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
987 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
991 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
995 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
996 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
997 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
998 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
999 form signing output easier to verify.
1002 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
1005 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
1006 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
1007 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
1008 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
1009 are needed because all other string types have virtually
1010 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
1011 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
1012 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
1013 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
1014 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
1017 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
1019 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
1020 the syntax given in objects.README.
1021 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
1023 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
1026 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
1027 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
1028 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
1029 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
1030 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
1031 consistent name changes.
1034 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
1037 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
1038 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
1039 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
1040 environment variable, or the default random state file.
1043 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
1044 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
1045 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
1049 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
1050 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
1051 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
1052 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
1055 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
1056 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
1057 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
1058 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
1059 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
1060 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
1061 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
1062 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
1063 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
1064 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
1065 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
1068 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
1069 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
1070 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
1071 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
1072 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
1073 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
1074 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
1075 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
1076 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
1077 algorithm to openssl-dev.
1080 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
1081 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
1082 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
1083 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
1085 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
1086 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
1087 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
1088 omit any duplicate addresses.
1091 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
1092 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
1095 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
1096 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
1097 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
1098 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
1099 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
1102 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
1104 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
1105 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
1106 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
1107 Free => OPENSSL_free
1110 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
1111 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
1114 *) CygWin32 support.
1115 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
1117 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
1118 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
1119 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
1120 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
1121 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
1125 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
1126 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
1127 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
1128 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
1129 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
1130 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
1131 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
1134 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
1135 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
1136 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
1137 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
1138 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
1139 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
1140 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
1141 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
1142 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
1143 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
1144 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
1147 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
1148 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
1149 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
1150 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
1151 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
1153 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
1154 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
1155 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
1156 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
1157 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
1159 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
1162 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
1163 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
1164 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
1165 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
1167 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
1169 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
1172 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
1173 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
1174 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
1177 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
1178 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
1179 any installed hardware versions can.
1182 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
1183 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
1184 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
1188 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
1189 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
1190 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
1191 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
1192 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
1194 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
1195 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
1198 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
1199 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
1202 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
1203 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
1204 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
1208 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
1211 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
1212 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
1213 but no ssl client purpose.
1214 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
1216 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
1217 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
1218 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
1219 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
1220 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
1221 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
1222 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
1223 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
1224 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
1225 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
1226 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
1229 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
1230 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
1231 be obtained from the error queue.
1234 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
1235 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
1236 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
1237 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
1240 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
1243 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
1244 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
1245 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
1246 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
1247 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
1250 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
1251 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
1252 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
1253 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
1254 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
1257 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
1258 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
1259 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
1261 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
1263 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
1264 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
1265 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
1266 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
1267 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
1268 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
1269 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
1270 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
1271 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
1272 or "the configuration storage API"...
1274 The new configuration file reading functions are:
1276 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
1277 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
1279 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
1281 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
1283 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
1284 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
1285 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
1286 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
1287 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
1288 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
1289 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
1291 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
1292 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
1295 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
1296 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
1297 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
1298 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
1301 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
1302 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
1303 them in a portable way.
1304 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
1306 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
1308 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
1310 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
1311 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
1313 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
1314 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
1315 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
1318 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
1319 was larger than the MD block size.
1320 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
1322 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
1323 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
1324 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
1325 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
1329 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
1330 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
1331 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
1333 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
1335 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
1337 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
1338 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
1339 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
1340 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
1341 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
1342 Additional arguments are always ignored.
1344 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
1345 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
1347 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
1348 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
1351 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
1354 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
1355 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
1357 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
1358 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
1359 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
1360 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
1363 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
1364 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
1365 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
1366 does not suppress any output.
1369 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
1370 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
1371 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
1372 with all the associated security issues.
1374 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
1375 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
1376 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
1377 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
1378 use the value in the default purpose.
1381 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
1382 and fix a memory leak.
1385 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
1386 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
1387 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
1388 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
1391 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
1392 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
1393 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
1394 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
1397 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
1398 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
1399 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
1402 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
1403 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
1406 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
1407 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
1411 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
1412 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
1415 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
1416 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
1417 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
1420 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
1421 number generation fails.
1424 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
1427 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
1428 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
1430 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
1433 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
1434 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
1436 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
1437 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
1439 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
1441 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
1442 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
1445 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
1446 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
1448 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
1449 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
1452 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
1453 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
1454 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
1455 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
1456 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
1457 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
1459 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
1460 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
1461 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
1465 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
1466 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
1467 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
1468 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
1469 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
1470 counter, some don't.)
1471 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
1472 counters or duplicate objects.
1475 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
1476 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
1479 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
1480 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
1481 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
1483 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
1484 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
1485 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
1489 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
1490 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
1493 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
1494 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
1495 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
1499 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
1500 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
1501 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
1504 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
1505 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
1506 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
1507 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
1508 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
1509 should work without changes.
1512 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
1513 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
1514 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
1515 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
1516 must be defined. E.g.,
1517 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
1518 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
1519 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
1520 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
1522 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
1526 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
1527 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
1528 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
1531 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
1532 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
1533 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
1534 request header lines. Some software needs this.
1537 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
1538 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
1539 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
1540 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
1541 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
1542 is prompted for as usual.
1545 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
1546 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
1547 autodetect the card and use it if present.
1548 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
1550 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
1551 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
1552 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
1553 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
1556 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
1559 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
1563 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
1566 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
1569 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
1573 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
1576 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
1579 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
1580 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
1583 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
1584 options to produce them.
1587 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
1588 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
1591 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
1595 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
1596 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
1597 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
1598 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
1599 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
1600 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
1601 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
1604 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
1607 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
1608 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
1609 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
1612 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
1613 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
1615 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
1616 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
1619 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
1620 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
1621 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
1625 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
1626 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
1628 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
1629 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
1630 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
1631 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
1632 generation becomes much faster.
1634 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
1635 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
1636 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
1637 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
1638 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
1639 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
1640 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
1641 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
1642 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
1643 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
1646 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
1647 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
1648 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
1649 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
1650 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
1651 trial division stage.
1654 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
1658 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
1661 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
1664 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
1665 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
1666 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
1670 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
1671 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
1672 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
1675 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
1676 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
1677 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
1678 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
1680 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
1681 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
1684 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
1687 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
1688 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
1689 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
1690 Rabin-Miller iterations.
1693 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
1694 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
1695 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
1698 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
1699 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
1700 (instead of parameters) in future.
1703 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
1704 when a new cipher list is set.
1707 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
1708 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
1711 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
1712 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
1713 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
1715 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
1716 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
1717 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
1718 an error is flagged.
1720 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
1721 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
1722 the readability was also increased :-)
1723 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1725 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
1726 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
1727 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
1728 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
1732 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
1733 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
1736 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
1737 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
1738 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
1739 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
1742 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
1743 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
1744 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
1745 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
1746 because they handle more complex structures.)
1749 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
1750 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
1751 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
1752 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
1754 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
1755 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
1756 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
1757 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
1758 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
1759 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
1760 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
1763 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
1764 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
1765 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
1766 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
1767 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
1770 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
1773 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
1774 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
1775 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
1776 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
1777 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
1780 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
1784 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
1785 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
1786 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
1787 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
1790 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
1793 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
1794 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
1795 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
1796 international characters are used.
1798 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
1799 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
1800 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
1804 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
1805 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
1806 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
1809 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
1810 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
1811 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
1812 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
1813 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
1814 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
1816 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
1817 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
1818 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
1819 be handled by the string table functions.
1821 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
1822 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
1823 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
1824 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
1825 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
1829 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
1830 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
1831 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
1832 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
1833 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
1835 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
1836 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
1837 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
1838 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
1841 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
1842 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
1843 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
1844 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
1845 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
1849 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
1850 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
1851 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
1852 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
1853 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
1854 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
1855 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
1856 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
1858 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
1859 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
1860 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
1863 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
1864 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
1865 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
1866 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
1867 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
1868 support to pkcs8 application.
1871 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
1872 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
1873 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
1874 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
1875 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
1876 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
1879 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
1880 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
1881 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
1882 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
1883 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
1887 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
1888 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
1889 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
1890 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
1894 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
1895 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
1896 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
1897 and any application specific purposes.
1899 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
1900 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
1901 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
1902 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
1903 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
1904 if the certificate is self signed.
1907 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
1908 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
1911 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
1912 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
1913 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
1914 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
1917 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
1918 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
1919 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
1920 Update documentation.
1923 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
1924 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
1925 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
1926 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
1927 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
1930 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
1932 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
1934 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
1935 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
1936 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
1937 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
1938 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
1939 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
1940 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
1941 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
1942 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
1943 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
1945 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
1947 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1948 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1949 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
1950 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
1951 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
1953 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
1954 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
1955 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
1956 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
1957 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
1958 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
1959 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
1960 request additional information:
1961 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
1962 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
1964 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
1965 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
1966 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
1969 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
1970 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
1973 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
1976 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
1977 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1979 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
1980 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
1981 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
1985 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
1986 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
1987 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
1989 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
1990 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
1991 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
1992 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
1993 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
1994 included in OpenSSL.
1997 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
1998 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
1999 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
2000 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
2001 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
2002 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
2005 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
2009 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
2010 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
2011 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
2012 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
2013 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
2017 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
2021 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
2022 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
2023 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
2024 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
2025 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
2026 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
2027 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
2028 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
2029 be maintained manually.
2031 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
2032 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
2033 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
2034 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
2035 work because people forget to call this function]
2036 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
2037 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
2038 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
2041 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
2042 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
2043 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
2044 should be discouraged from doing it.
2047 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
2048 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
2049 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
2050 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
2051 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
2052 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
2055 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
2056 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
2057 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
2059 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
2060 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
2061 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
2063 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
2064 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
2065 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
2066 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
2067 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
2068 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
2070 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
2071 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
2072 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
2074 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
2075 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
2078 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
2079 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
2080 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
2081 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
2084 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
2087 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
2088 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
2089 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
2090 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
2091 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
2092 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
2093 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
2094 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
2095 keys so we should be OK.
2097 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
2098 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
2099 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
2100 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
2101 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
2102 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
2103 stay in the name of compatibility.
2105 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
2106 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
2107 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
2109 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
2110 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
2111 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
2112 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
2113 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
2114 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
2118 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
2119 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
2120 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
2121 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
2122 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
2123 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
2124 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
2125 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
2126 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
2127 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
2128 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
2129 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
2130 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
2133 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
2136 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
2137 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
2138 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
2139 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
2140 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
2141 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
2142 single self signed certificate. This means that:
2143 openssl verify ss.pem
2144 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
2145 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
2149 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
2150 (and add it to external session representation).
2151 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
2152 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
2153 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
2154 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
2155 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
2156 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
2158 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
2160 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
2161 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
2162 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
2163 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
2165 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
2166 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
2167 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
2170 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
2171 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
2172 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
2176 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
2177 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
2178 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
2180 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
2181 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
2182 certificate auxiliary information.
2185 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
2189 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
2190 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
2191 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
2192 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
2193 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
2194 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
2195 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
2198 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
2199 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
2202 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
2203 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
2204 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
2205 manpages and fix a few bugs.
2208 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
2211 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
2212 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
2215 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
2216 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
2217 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
2218 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
2219 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
2220 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
2221 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
2222 using the new 'x509' options.
2224 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
2225 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
2226 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
2227 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
2231 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
2232 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
2233 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
2234 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
2235 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
2238 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
2239 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
2240 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
2241 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
2242 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
2243 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
2244 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
2245 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
2246 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
2247 the key length and effective key length are equal.
2250 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
2251 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
2252 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
2253 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
2254 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
2255 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
2256 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
2259 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
2260 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
2261 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
2262 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
2263 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
2264 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
2265 openssl.cnf for more info.
2268 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
2269 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
2270 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
2271 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
2272 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
2273 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
2274 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
2275 md should be large enough anyway.
2278 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
2279 for handling the random seed file.
2281 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
2283 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
2286 x509 (when signing).
2287 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
2288 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
2289 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
2291 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
2292 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
2293 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
2294 that support '-rand'.
2297 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
2298 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
2301 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
2302 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
2305 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
2306 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
2307 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
2308 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
2312 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
2313 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
2314 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
2315 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
2318 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
2319 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
2320 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
2321 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
2322 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
2323 print out all the purposes.
2326 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
2330 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
2331 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
2332 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
2333 single function call.
2336 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
2337 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
2340 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
2341 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
2342 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
2345 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
2346 when producing the local key id.
2347 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2349 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
2350 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
2351 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
2355 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
2356 a public key to be input or output. For example:
2357 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
2358 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
2361 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
2362 in the message. This was handled by allowing
2363 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
2364 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
2366 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
2367 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
2368 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
2369 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2371 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
2372 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
2373 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
2374 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
2375 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
2376 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
2377 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
2378 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
2379 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
2380 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
2381 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
2382 trivial: move one line.
2383 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
2385 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
2386 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
2387 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
2388 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
2389 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
2390 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
2391 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
2392 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
2393 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
2394 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
2395 with an event loop for example.
2398 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
2399 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
2400 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
2401 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
2402 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
2403 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
2404 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
2405 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
2406 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
2409 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
2410 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
2411 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
2412 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
2413 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
2414 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
2417 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
2418 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
2419 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
2420 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
2422 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
2423 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
2424 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
2425 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
2429 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
2430 (still largely untested)
2433 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
2434 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
2437 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
2438 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
2441 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
2442 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
2443 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
2446 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
2447 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
2448 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
2449 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
2450 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
2453 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
2456 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
2457 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
2458 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
2459 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
2460 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
2464 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
2465 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
2468 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
2471 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
2472 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
2473 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
2474 are otherwise ignored at present.
2477 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
2478 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
2479 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
2480 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
2481 copied until the next read.
2484 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
2485 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
2486 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
2489 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
2490 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
2491 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
2492 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
2493 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
2494 associated functions.
2497 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
2498 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
2499 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
2500 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
2501 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
2502 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
2503 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
2504 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
2505 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
2509 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
2510 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
2511 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
2512 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
2515 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
2516 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
2517 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
2518 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
2519 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
2523 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
2524 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
2528 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
2529 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
2530 extensions to be obtained and added.
2533 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
2534 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
2537 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
2539 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
2540 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2542 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
2543 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
2545 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
2549 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
2550 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
2551 DH parameters contain its length).
2553 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
2554 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
2555 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
2556 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
2557 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
2558 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
2559 utter importance to use
2560 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
2562 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
2563 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
2564 attacks may become possible!
2567 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
2570 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
2571 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
2574 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
2575 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
2576 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
2580 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
2581 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
2582 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
2583 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
2584 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
2585 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
2586 private key operations.
2589 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
2592 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
2593 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
2595 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
2596 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
2597 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
2598 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
2599 the password callback is called.
2600 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
2602 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
2604 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
2605 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
2606 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
2607 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
2608 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
2609 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
2612 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
2613 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
2614 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
2615 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
2616 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
2617 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
2620 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
2623 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
2624 delete an unused file.
2627 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
2628 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
2629 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
2630 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
2633 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
2634 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
2635 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
2639 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
2640 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
2641 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2643 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
2644 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
2645 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
2646 comparison" warnings.
2647 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
2650 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
2651 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
2652 derived keys are printed to stderr.
2655 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
2656 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
2658 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
2659 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
2661 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
2662 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
2663 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
2665 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
2666 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
2667 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
2668 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
2669 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
2671 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
2673 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
2674 The interface is as follows:
2675 Applications can use
2676 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
2677 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
2678 "off" is now the default.
2679 The library internally uses
2680 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
2681 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
2682 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
2684 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
2685 even the default) are now avoided.
2687 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
2688 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
2689 than just having a counter.
2691 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
2693 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
2697 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
2698 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
2699 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
2700 Initial "mode" flags are:
2702 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
2703 a single record has been written.
2704 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
2705 retries use the same buffer location.
2706 (But all of the contents must be
2710 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
2713 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
2714 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
2716 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
2717 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
2718 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
2721 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
2722 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
2724 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
2726 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
2727 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
2728 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
2729 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
2731 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
2732 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
2734 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
2735 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
2736 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
2737 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
2738 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
2739 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
2742 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
2743 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
2744 necessary function names.
2747 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
2748 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
2749 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
2750 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
2753 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
2754 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
2755 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
2758 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
2759 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
2760 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
2761 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
2763 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
2767 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
2768 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
2769 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
2772 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
2773 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
2777 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
2778 for the encoded length.
2779 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
2781 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
2784 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
2785 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
2786 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
2787 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
2790 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
2791 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
2792 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2794 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
2795 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
2796 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
2800 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
2801 to use the new extension code.
2804 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
2805 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
2806 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
2810 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
2811 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
2812 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
2816 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
2819 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
2820 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
2821 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
2824 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
2825 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
2826 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
2827 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
2830 *) DES library cleanups.
2833 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
2834 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
2835 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
2836 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
2837 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
2841 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
2842 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
2845 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
2846 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
2847 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
2848 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
2849 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
2850 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
2851 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
2852 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
2853 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
2856 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
2857 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
2858 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
2859 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
2860 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
2861 value doesn't matter.
2864 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
2868 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
2869 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
2870 "linux-sparc" configuration.
2871 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
2873 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
2876 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
2877 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
2878 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2880 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
2881 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2883 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
2886 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
2889 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
2892 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
2896 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
2898 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
2900 *) Updated some demos.
2901 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
2903 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
2906 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
2909 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
2912 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
2913 instead of using a fixed path.
2916 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
2919 *) Improvements for VMS support.
2923 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
2925 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
2926 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
2927 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2929 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
2930 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
2931 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
2932 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
2933 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
2934 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
2935 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
2936 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
2937 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
2938 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
2941 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
2942 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
2945 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
2946 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
2947 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
2948 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
2949 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
2951 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
2954 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
2955 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
2956 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
2959 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
2962 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
2963 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
2964 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
2965 key elements as negative integers.
2968 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
2969 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2972 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
2974 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
2975 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
2976 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
2979 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
2980 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
2981 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
2982 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
2983 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
2986 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
2989 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
2990 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
2991 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
2992 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2994 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
2995 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
2996 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
2998 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
2999 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
3000 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
3001 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
3002 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
3003 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
3004 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
3005 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
3006 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
3008 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
3009 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
3010 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
3011 does not influence s as it used to.
3013 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
3014 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
3015 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
3016 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
3017 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
3018 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
3021 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
3022 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
3023 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
3027 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
3028 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
3029 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
3033 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
3034 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
3035 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
3039 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
3040 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
3043 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
3044 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3049 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
3050 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3052 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
3053 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3055 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
3058 *) Update HPUX configuration.
3061 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
3062 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3064 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
3065 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
3066 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
3070 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
3071 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
3072 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
3073 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
3074 now it really counts the depth.
3077 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
3078 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
3079 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
3080 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
3081 didn't match the private key).
3083 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
3084 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
3085 connection using the SSL_CTX).
3088 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
3091 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
3095 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
3096 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
3097 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
3100 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
3103 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
3104 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
3105 such as /usr/local/bin.
3108 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
3109 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
3111 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
3114 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
3115 extension adding in x509 utility.
3118 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
3121 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
3125 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
3128 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
3129 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
3130 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
3131 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
3132 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
3133 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
3134 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
3135 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
3136 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
3137 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
3140 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
3143 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
3144 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
3147 *) Fix some race conditions.
3150 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
3151 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
3154 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
3157 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
3158 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
3159 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
3160 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
3162 *) Fix lots of warnings.
3163 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3165 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
3166 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
3167 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3169 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
3170 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3172 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
3175 *) Fix typos in error codes.
3176 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
3178 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
3181 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
3182 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3184 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
3185 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
3188 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
3189 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
3192 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
3193 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
3196 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
3197 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
3200 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
3201 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
3204 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
3205 support typesafe stack.
3208 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
3209 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
3211 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
3212 old X509V3 handling code.
3215 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
3218 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
3221 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
3224 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
3225 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
3227 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
3228 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
3229 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
3230 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
3231 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
3234 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
3235 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
3236 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
3237 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
3238 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
3240 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
3241 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
3242 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
3243 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3245 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
3246 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
3247 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
3248 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3250 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
3251 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
3252 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
3253 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
3254 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
3255 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
3258 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
3259 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
3262 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
3263 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
3266 *) Tweaks to Configure
3267 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
3269 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
3273 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
3276 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
3277 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
3280 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
3281 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
3282 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
3285 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
3288 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
3289 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
3292 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
3293 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
3294 to library startup routines.
3297 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
3298 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
3299 codes along the way.
3302 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
3303 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
3304 objects to objects.h
3307 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
3308 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
3311 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
3312 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
3314 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
3315 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
3316 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
3318 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
3319 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3320 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3322 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
3323 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
3324 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
3327 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
3329 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
3330 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
3333 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
3334 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
3335 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
3336 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
3337 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
3339 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
3340 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
3341 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
3343 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3345 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
3347 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
3349 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
3350 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3352 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
3353 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
3354 if someone would make that last step automatic.
3355 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
3357 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
3360 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
3361 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
3362 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
3363 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
3366 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
3367 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
3368 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
3371 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
3372 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
3373 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
3374 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
3375 installed as `perl').
3376 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3378 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
3379 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3381 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
3382 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
3383 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
3384 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
3385 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
3388 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
3391 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
3392 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
3393 is horrible: I feel ill....
3396 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
3397 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
3398 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
3399 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
3402 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
3403 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3405 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
3406 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
3407 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
3408 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3410 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
3411 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
3412 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
3413 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
3414 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
3415 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
3417 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3419 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
3420 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
3422 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
3423 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
3425 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
3428 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
3429 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
3433 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
3434 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
3435 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
3436 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
3437 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
3438 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
3439 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
3440 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
3441 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
3442 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
3443 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3445 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
3448 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
3449 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
3450 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
3451 for linking it into DSOs.
3452 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3454 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
3458 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
3459 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
3460 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
3461 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
3462 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
3463 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3465 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
3466 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
3467 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
3468 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
3469 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
3470 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
3471 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3473 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
3474 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
3475 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
3479 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
3480 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
3481 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
3482 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
3485 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
3486 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
3487 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
3488 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
3489 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
3493 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
3494 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
3495 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
3496 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
3497 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3499 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
3500 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
3501 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
3503 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
3504 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
3506 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
3507 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
3508 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
3509 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
3510 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
3513 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
3514 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
3515 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
3516 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
3517 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
3518 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
3519 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
3522 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
3524 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
3525 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
3528 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
3529 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
3531 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
3532 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
3535 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
3536 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
3537 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
3538 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
3539 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
3541 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
3542 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
3543 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
3544 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
3545 no way to reconfigure them.
3546 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
3547 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
3548 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
3549 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
3550 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
3551 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3553 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
3554 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
3555 recognized by the users.
3556 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3558 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
3559 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
3560 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
3561 already masked variable.
3562 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3564 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
3565 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3567 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
3568 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
3569 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
3570 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3572 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
3573 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
3574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3576 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
3577 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
3578 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
3579 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
3580 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
3581 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
3582 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
3583 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
3585 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3587 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
3588 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
3589 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3591 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
3592 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
3596 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
3597 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
3599 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
3600 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
3601 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
3602 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
3605 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
3608 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
3609 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3611 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
3614 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
3615 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
3618 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
3619 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
3622 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
3623 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
3624 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
3625 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
3626 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
3627 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
3628 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
3631 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
3632 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3634 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
3635 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
3636 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
3637 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
3638 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3640 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
3641 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
3642 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
3645 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
3646 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
3650 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
3651 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
3652 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3654 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
3655 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
3656 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
3660 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
3661 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
3662 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
3663 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
3666 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
3667 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
3668 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
3669 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
3672 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
3673 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
3674 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
3675 so it wasn't spotted.
3676 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
3678 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
3679 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
3680 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
3681 vectors if you have them.
3684 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
3685 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
3688 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
3689 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
3690 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
3691 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
3693 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
3694 it will update them.
3697 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
3698 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
3699 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
3700 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
3701 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
3702 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
3703 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
3704 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3706 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
3707 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
3708 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
3709 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
3710 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
3711 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
3712 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
3713 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
3714 the crypto/md/ stuff).
3715 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3717 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
3718 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
3719 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
3720 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
3721 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
3724 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
3728 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
3729 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3731 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
3732 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3734 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
3735 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
3738 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
3739 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
3741 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
3742 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
3744 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
3747 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
3751 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
3752 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
3753 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
3754 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3756 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
3759 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
3762 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
3765 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
3766 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
3769 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
3770 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
3774 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
3775 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
3778 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
3779 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
3780 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
3783 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
3784 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
3785 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
3786 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
3787 properly to be processed.
3790 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
3791 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
3792 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
3795 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
3796 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
3798 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
3799 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
3800 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
3801 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
3802 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
3803 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
3804 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
3805 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
3806 or delete all the .err files.
3809 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
3810 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
3811 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
3812 to regenerate it if needed.
3813 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
3814 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
3816 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
3817 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3819 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
3820 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
3821 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
3822 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
3823 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
3826 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
3827 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3829 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
3830 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3832 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
3833 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
3834 error, but didn't set one).
3835 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3837 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
3840 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
3841 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
3844 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
3845 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
3847 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
3848 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
3849 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
3850 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
3851 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
3852 OID is not part of the table.
3855 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
3856 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
3859 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
3862 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
3863 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
3867 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
3868 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
3870 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
3872 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3874 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
3875 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3877 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
3878 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3880 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
3881 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3883 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
3884 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
3887 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
3888 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
3891 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
3892 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3894 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
3895 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3897 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
3898 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3900 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
3901 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3903 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
3904 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
3905 unused in the certificate verification process.
3906 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3908 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
3909 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
3912 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
3913 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
3914 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
3916 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
3917 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
3918 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
3919 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
3920 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
3922 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
3923 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
3926 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
3929 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
3932 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
3933 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
3935 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
3938 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
3941 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
3944 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
3945 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
3946 other error libraries.
3949 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
3952 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
3953 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
3957 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
3958 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
3959 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
3960 the new set of documenation files.
3961 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3963 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
3964 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
3965 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
3966 number of arguments.
3967 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
3969 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
3972 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
3973 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
3974 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3976 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
3979 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
3983 unixware-2.0-pentium
3987 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
3988 before they are needed.
3991 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
3995 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
3997 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
3998 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
3999 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4001 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
4004 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
4005 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
4006 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4008 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
4009 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
4010 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
4012 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
4013 when "ssleay" is still not found.
4014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4016 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
4017 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
4019 *) Updated the README file.
4020 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4022 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
4023 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
4024 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4026 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
4027 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
4028 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4030 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
4031 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
4032 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
4033 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
4034 o removed obsolete TODO file
4035 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
4036 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4038 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
4039 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
4040 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
4041 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
4042 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
4043 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
4044 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4046 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
4049 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
4050 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
4051 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
4053 [The OpenSSL Project]
4056 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
4058 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
4061 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
4064 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
4065 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
4068 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
4069 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
4073 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
4075 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
4077 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
4080 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
4083 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
4086 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
4089 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
4092 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
4095 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
4098 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
4101 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
4104 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
4107 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
4110 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
4113 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
4116 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
4119 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
4122 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
4125 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
4128 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
4129 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
4130 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4133 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
4134 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
4137 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
4140 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
4143 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
4144 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
4147 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
4150 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
4153 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
4154 bytes sent in the client random.
4155 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
