5 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
8 structure of type "other".
11 *) Correctly initialize digested data content type in PKCS7_set_type().
14 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
15 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
16 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
17 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
18 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
19 situation in the script.
22 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
23 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
24 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
25 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
26 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
27 used as premaster secret.
28 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
30 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
31 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
32 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
34 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
35 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
37 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
38 control of the error stack.
41 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
44 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
45 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
46 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
47 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
50 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
51 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
52 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
55 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
56 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
57 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
61 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
62 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
63 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
64 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
67 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
68 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
69 the following flags are defined:
71 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
72 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
73 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
76 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
77 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
78 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
79 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
83 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
84 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
85 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
86 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
87 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
90 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
91 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
92 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
95 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
96 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
97 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
98 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
99 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
100 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
103 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
107 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
110 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
113 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
116 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
117 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
118 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
119 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
122 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
123 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
124 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
125 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
126 default implementation more easily.
129 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
133 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
134 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
137 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
138 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
139 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
140 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
142 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
143 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
144 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
148 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
149 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
153 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
154 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
155 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
156 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
157 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
159 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
161 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
162 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
163 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
167 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
168 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
169 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
170 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
171 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
172 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
173 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
174 linker additions, eg;
175 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
178 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
179 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
180 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
183 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
184 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
185 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
189 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
190 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
191 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
192 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
195 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
196 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
197 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
198 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
199 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
200 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
201 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
202 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
203 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
204 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
206 Example for using the new callback interface:
208 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
212 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
214 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
215 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
216 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
217 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
218 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
219 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
224 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
225 available to TLS with the number defined in
226 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
229 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
230 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
232 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
233 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
234 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
235 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
237 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
238 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
240 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
241 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
245 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
246 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
249 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
252 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
253 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
255 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
256 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
258 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
259 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
260 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
262 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
264 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
267 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
268 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
269 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
270 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
272 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
273 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
274 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
275 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
276 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
277 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
278 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
279 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
281 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
282 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
285 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
286 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
288 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
289 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
290 files while avoiding the low level API.
292 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
293 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
294 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
295 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
297 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
298 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
299 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
300 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
301 instead of the low level API.
304 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
305 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
306 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
307 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
308 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
311 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
312 down to the template encoder.
315 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
316 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
319 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
320 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
321 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
322 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
324 *) Add ECDH engine support.
325 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
327 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
328 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
330 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
331 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
334 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
335 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
336 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
339 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
340 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
342 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
343 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
345 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
346 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
349 EC_GF2m_simple_method
353 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
354 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
355 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
356 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
357 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
358 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
360 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
361 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
364 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
365 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
366 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
367 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
368 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
369 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
370 various internal method names.)
372 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
373 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
375 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
376 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
378 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
379 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
381 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
382 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
383 methods are undefined.
385 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
386 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
388 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
389 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
390 length of the modulus.
392 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
393 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
395 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
396 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
398 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
399 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
401 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
402 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
403 used) in the following functions [macros]:
406 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
407 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
408 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
409 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
411 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
412 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
413 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
414 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
416 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
417 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
419 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
420 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
421 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
422 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
423 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
425 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
426 This applies to the following functions:
431 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
432 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
435 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
439 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
444 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
446 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
447 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
448 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
449 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
450 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
452 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
453 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
455 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
456 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
457 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
459 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
460 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
462 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
463 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
464 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
465 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
466 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
468 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
470 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
471 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
472 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
473 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
474 These control ASN1 encoding details:
475 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
476 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
477 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
478 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
479 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
480 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
481 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
483 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
487 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
488 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
489 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
491 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
492 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
493 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
494 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
501 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
502 EC_POINT_oct2point().
503 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
505 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
506 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
507 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
509 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
510 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
511 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
512 adding different types of curves.
513 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
515 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
516 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
517 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
520 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
521 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
523 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
524 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
525 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
526 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
528 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
530 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
531 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
533 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
534 library. Most notably,
535 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
536 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
537 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
538 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
539 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
540 extracted before the specific public key;
541 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
542 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
544 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
545 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
547 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
548 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
549 EC_get_builtin_curves().
550 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
554 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
556 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
557 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
558 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
559 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
560 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
561 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
565 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [xx XXX XXXX]
566 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
569 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
571 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
573 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
574 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
576 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
578 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
579 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
583 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
584 exiting on the first error in a request.
587 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
588 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
592 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
593 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
594 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
595 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
597 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
598 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
601 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
602 blocks during encryption.
605 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
606 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
607 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
608 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
612 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
613 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
614 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
615 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
616 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
620 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
622 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
623 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
624 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
625 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
628 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
629 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
630 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
631 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
632 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
634 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
635 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
636 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
637 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
638 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
639 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
640 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
641 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
642 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
645 yet to be integrated into this CVS branch:
646 - Geoff's ENGINE_set_default() fix
648 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
649 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
652 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
654 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
655 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
656 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
657 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
658 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
660 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
661 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
662 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
664 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
665 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
666 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
667 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
668 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
670 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
671 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
672 used by default when no-err is given.
675 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
676 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
678 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
679 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
680 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
681 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
682 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
684 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
685 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
686 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
687 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
689 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
691 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
693 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
695 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
696 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
697 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
698 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
702 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
703 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
705 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
706 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
709 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
710 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
711 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
712 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
715 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
716 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
717 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
718 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
719 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
720 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
724 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
725 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
728 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
729 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
730 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
731 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
733 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
735 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
738 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
739 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
740 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
741 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
743 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
747 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
748 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
752 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
753 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
754 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
755 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
756 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
757 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
759 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
760 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
761 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
762 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
763 have to be made anyway).
766 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
767 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
768 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
771 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
772 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
773 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
776 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
777 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
778 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
780 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
781 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
782 edit numbers of the version.
783 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
785 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
786 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
787 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
789 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
792 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
793 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
796 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
799 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
802 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
805 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
808 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
812 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
813 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
816 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
817 representations in a platform independent manner.
820 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
821 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
824 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
828 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
831 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
835 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
836 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
839 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
843 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
846 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
849 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
852 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
855 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
859 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
862 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
865 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
866 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
870 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
871 the 0.9.6 release series:
873 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
874 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
878 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
881 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
882 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
884 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
885 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
887 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
888 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
889 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
890 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
892 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
893 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
894 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
896 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
897 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
898 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
899 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
901 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
902 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
903 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
906 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
907 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
908 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
909 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
910 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
911 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
912 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
913 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
916 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
917 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
918 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
921 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
922 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
923 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
924 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
925 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
927 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
928 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
930 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
931 error in AES-CFB decryption.
934 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
935 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
936 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
937 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
938 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
939 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
942 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
943 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
944 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
947 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
948 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
951 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
952 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
953 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
954 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
955 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
956 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
957 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
960 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
961 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
962 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
963 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
964 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
965 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
968 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
969 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
970 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
971 declaration has been changed from
974 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
975 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
976 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
977 has been changed into
978 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
980 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
981 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
982 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
984 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
985 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
987 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
988 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
989 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
990 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
991 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
992 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
993 always load it have also been added.
996 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
997 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
998 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1000 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1002 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1003 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1004 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1006 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1007 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1008 command line option can be used to specify an
1012 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1013 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1016 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1017 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1018 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1021 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1022 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1023 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1024 to work with the new engine framework.
1025 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1027 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1028 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1029 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1030 to work with the new engine framework.
1033 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1034 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1035 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1037 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1038 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1040 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1041 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1042 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1043 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1045 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1047 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1048 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1050 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1051 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1053 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1054 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1055 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1058 *) Add new functions
1060 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1061 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1062 These are similar to
1065 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1066 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1067 still in the error queue.
1068 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1070 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1072 default_algorithms = ALL
1073 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1076 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1079 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1082 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1083 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1084 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1085 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1087 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1088 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1090 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1091 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1093 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1094 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1097 *) New functions/macros
1099 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1100 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1101 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1102 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1104 to request calling a callback function
1106 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1107 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1109 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1110 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1111 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1112 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1113 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1114 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1115 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1116 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1117 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1118 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1120 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1121 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1124 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1125 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1126 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1127 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1128 the configuration scripts.
1130 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1131 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1132 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1134 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1135 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1137 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1138 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1139 when reusing an existing buffer.
1142 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1143 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1146 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1147 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1150 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1151 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1152 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1153 has the same effect.
1154 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1156 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1157 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1158 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1159 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1160 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1161 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1164 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1165 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1166 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1167 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1169 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1170 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1171 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1172 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1174 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1175 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1178 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1179 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1180 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1181 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1182 default), and then completely removed.
1185 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1186 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1187 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1188 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1189 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1190 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1191 particular extension is supported.
1194 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1195 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1198 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1199 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1200 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1201 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1202 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1203 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1204 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1205 requires the destination to be valid.
1207 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1208 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1211 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1212 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1213 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1216 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1217 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1219 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1220 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1221 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1222 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1223 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1224 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1225 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1226 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1227 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1228 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1229 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1230 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1231 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1232 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1233 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1234 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1235 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1236 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1237 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1241 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1244 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1245 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1246 become part of libeay.num as well.
1249 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1250 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1251 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1252 false once a handshake has been completed.
1253 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1254 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1255 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1256 client has followed the request.)
1259 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1260 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1261 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1262 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1264 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1265 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1266 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1269 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1272 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1273 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1274 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1277 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1278 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1281 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1282 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1283 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1284 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1287 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1288 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1289 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1290 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1291 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1292 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1295 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1296 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1297 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1298 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1299 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1300 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1301 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1302 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1305 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1306 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1309 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1312 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1313 md_data void pointer.
1316 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1317 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1318 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1319 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1320 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1321 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1324 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1325 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1326 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1327 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1328 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1329 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1330 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1331 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1332 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1333 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1334 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1335 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1336 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1337 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1338 rather than letting it slide.
1340 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1341 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1342 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1345 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1346 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1347 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1348 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1349 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1350 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1351 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1352 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1353 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1356 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1357 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1358 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1359 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1360 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1362 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1365 *) Add EVP test program.
1368 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1371 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1372 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1373 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1374 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1375 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1378 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1379 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1380 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1381 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1382 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1383 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1384 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1386 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1387 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1388 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1393 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1394 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1395 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1396 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1397 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1401 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1402 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1403 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1404 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1407 des_key_schedule ks;
1409 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1410 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1412 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1415 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1416 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1417 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1418 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1419 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1420 functions prevents this.
1423 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1426 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1427 correct _ecb suffix.
1430 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1431 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1432 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1433 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1434 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1437 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1440 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1441 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1442 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1443 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1445 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1446 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1448 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1449 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1450 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1451 via Richard Levitte]
1453 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1454 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1455 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1456 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1459 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1462 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
1463 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

1477 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1478 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1480 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1481 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1482 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1483 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1484 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1485 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1488 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1489 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1492 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1493 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1494 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1495 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1497 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1498 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1499 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1500 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1501 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1502 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1506 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1507 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1508 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1509 and interrupts/cancellations.
1512 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1513 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1516 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1517 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1518 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1520 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1521 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1525 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1526 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1527 than this minimum value is recommended.
1530 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1531 that are easily reachable.
1534 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1535 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1537 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1539 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1540 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1541 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1542 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1545 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1546 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1547 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1550 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1551 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1552 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1553 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1554 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1555 internally such as S/MIME.
1557 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1558 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1559 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1561 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1565 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1566 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1567 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1568 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1570 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1572 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1574 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1575 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1576 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1580 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1581 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1582 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1583 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1584 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1585 a window system and the like.
1588 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1589 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1592 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1593 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1594 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1595 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1596 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1597 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1598 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1599 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1600 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1604 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1605 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1609 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1610 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1611 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1612 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1613 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1614 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1615 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1616 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1619 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1620 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1621 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1622 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1623 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1624 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1625 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1626 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1627 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1628 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1629 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1630 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1631 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1632 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1633 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1634 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1635 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1638 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1639 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1640 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1641 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1642 internal engine_int.h header.
1645 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1646 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1647 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1648 modify their own ones).
1651 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1652 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1653 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1654 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1655 later on via ctrl() commands.
1656 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1657 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1658 structural references.
1659 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1660 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1661 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1662 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1663 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1664 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1665 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1666 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1667 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1668 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1669 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1670 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1673 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1674 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1675 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1676 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1677 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1678 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1679 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1680 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1683 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1684 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1687 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1688 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1691 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1692 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1693 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1694 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1695 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1696 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1697 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1700 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1701 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1702 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1703 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1704 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1706 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1707 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1711 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1713 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1714 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1715 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1717 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1718 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1720 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1721 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1722 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1724 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1725 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1727 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1728 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1730 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1732 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1733 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1734 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1737 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1738 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1741 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1742 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1743 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1744 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1745 is 40 of more characters long.
1748 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1749 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1753 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1754 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1757 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1758 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1762 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1764 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1765 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1768 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1770 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1771 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1772 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1774 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1775 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1777 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1780 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1784 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1785 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1786 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1787 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1789 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1791 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1792 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1794 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1795 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1796 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1797 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1798 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1799 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1801 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1802 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1804 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1805 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1807 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1808 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1810 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1811 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1812 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1813 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1815 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1816 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1818 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1819 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1821 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1822 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1823 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1824 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1825 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1828 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1829 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1830 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1831 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1834 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1835 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1836 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1840 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1841 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1842 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1843 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1844 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1845 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1846 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1847 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1851 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1852 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1855 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1856 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1857 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1858 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1861 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1862 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1863 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1864 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1865 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1866 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1867 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1868 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1869 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1870 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1873 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1874 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1875 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1876 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1877 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1878 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1879 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1880 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1882 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1883 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1884 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1885 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1888 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1889 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1890 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1891 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1893 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1894 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1895 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1896 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1897 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1901 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1902 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1903 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1904 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1908 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1909 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1910 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1913 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1914 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1915 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1916 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1917 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1920 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1923 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1924 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1925 option to ocsp utility.
1928 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1929 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1930 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1931 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1932 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1933 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1934 the request is nonce-less.
1937 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1938 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1939 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1942 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1943 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1944 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1947 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1948 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1949 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1950 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1951 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1954 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1955 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1959 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1960 additional certificates supplied.
1963 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1964 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1968 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1969 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1972 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1973 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1974 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1975 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1976 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1977 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1978 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1979 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1980 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1982 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1983 request to response.
1986 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1987 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1988 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1989 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1990 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1991 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1992 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1993 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1994 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1995 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1996 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1999 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2000 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2001 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2002 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2005 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2006 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2008 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2009 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2010 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2013 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2014 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2015 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2016 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2017 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2019 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2020 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2021 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2024 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2025 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2026 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2027 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2028 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2029 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2030 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2031 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2033 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2034 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2035 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2036 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2037 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2038 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2041 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2042 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2043 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2044 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2045 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2046 printout format cleaned up.
2049 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2050 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2051 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2052 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2053 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2054 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2055 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2056 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2059 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2060 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2061 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2062 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2063 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2064 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2065 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2066 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2069 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2070 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2071 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2072 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2074 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2076 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2077 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2078 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2079 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2082 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2083 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2084 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2085 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2087 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2089 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2090 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2091 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2092 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2094 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2095 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2097 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2098 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2099 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2102 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2103 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2104 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2107 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2108 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2109 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2110 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2111 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2112 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2113 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2114 functions are provided:
2116 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2117 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2118 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2119 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2121 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2122 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2123 extended allocation function is enabled.
2124 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2125 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2126 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2128 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2129 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2130 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2131 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2132 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2135 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2136 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2137 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2139 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2140 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2141 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2144 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2145 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2146 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2147 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2148 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2149 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2150 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2151 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2152 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2155 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2156 provide utility functions which an application needing
2157 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2158 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2159 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2161 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2162 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2163 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2164 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2165 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2166 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2167 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2168 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2169 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2171 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2172 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2173 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2174 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2177 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2178 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2179 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2180 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2181 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2182 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2183 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2184 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2185 will be added elsewhere.
2188 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2189 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2190 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2191 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2194 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2195 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2196 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2197 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2198 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2199 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2200 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2201 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2202 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2203 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2204 to produce the required SET OF.
2207 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2208 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2209 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2212 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2213 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2214 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2215 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2216 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2217 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2220 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2221 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2222 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2225 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2226 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2227 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2230 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2231 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2232 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2233 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2234 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2237 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2238 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2241 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2242 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2243 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2244 certifcates and CRLs.
2247 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2248 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2249 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2252 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2253 entries for variables.
2256 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2257 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2258 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2259 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2262 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2263 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2264 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2265 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2266 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2267 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2270 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2271 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2273 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2274 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2275 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2278 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2282 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2283 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2284 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2285 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2286 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2287 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2290 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2293 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2294 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2295 for now but they will eventually go away.
2298 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2299 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2300 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2301 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2302 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2303 has also been converted to the new form.
2306 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2307 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2308 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2309 for negative moduli.
2312 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2313 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2316 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2320 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2321 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2322 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2323 type-specific callbacks.
2326 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2328 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2329 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2331 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2332 in sections depending on the subject.
2335 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2339 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2340 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2341 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2342 be handled deterministically).
2343 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2345 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2346 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2347 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2350 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2353 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2354 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2355 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2356 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2357 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2360 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2361 sign of the number in question.
2363 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2365 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2366 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2367 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2368 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2369 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2372 *) New function BN_swap.
2375 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2376 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2377 results on negative inputs.
2380 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2381 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2382 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2385 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2386 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2387 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2388 and add new functions:
2397 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2401 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2403 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2404 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2406 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2407 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2408 be reduced modulo m.

2412 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2413 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2414 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2416 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2417 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2418 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2419 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2420 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2421 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2426 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2427 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2428 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2429 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2430 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2432 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2433 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2434 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2438 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2441 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2442 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2445 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2446 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2447 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2448 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2452 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2455 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2458 *) Add the following functions:
2460 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2462 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2464 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2466 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2467 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2468 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2469 libraries unless it's really needed.
2471 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2472 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2473 declarations (they differed!).
2476 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2479 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2482 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2485 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2486 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2489 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2490 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2491 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2493 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2494 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2497 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2500 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2503 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2506 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2507 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2508 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2510 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2511 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2512 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2513 different shared library filenames on each system.
2516 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2519 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2520 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2521 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2523 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2526 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2527 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2528 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2529 binary backward compatibility.
2530 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2531 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2532 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2536 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2537 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2538 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2539 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2543 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2546 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2547 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2548 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2549 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2553 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2556 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2558 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2560 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2561 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2563 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2564 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2568 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2570 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2571 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2573 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2574 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2578 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2579 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2583 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2584 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2585 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2586 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2588 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2589 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2592 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2594 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2595 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2596 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2597 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2600 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2601 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2602 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2603 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2604 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2606 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2607 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2608 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2609 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2610 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2611 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2612 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2613 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2614 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2617 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2619 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2620 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2621 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2622 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2623 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2625 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2626 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2627 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2629 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2631 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2632 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2633 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2634 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2635 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2636 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2639 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2640 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2641 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2642 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2643 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2646 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2647 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2648 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2650 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2651 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2652 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2656 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2657 being properly terminated.
2660 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2661 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2662 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2663 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2665 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2666 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2667 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2668 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2669 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2670 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2671 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2673 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2675 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2676 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2679 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2680 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2681 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2682 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2683 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2684 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2685 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2686 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2688 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2689 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2690 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2691 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2692 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2694 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2695 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2698 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2700 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2701 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2702 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2704 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2706 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2707 and get fix the header length calculation.
2708 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2709 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2712 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2713 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2714 assertions could call abort()).
2715 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2717 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2719 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2720 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2721 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2723 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2725 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2726 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2727 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2730 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2734 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2735 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2736 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2738 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2739 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2740 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2741 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2742 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2746 *) Changes in security patch:
2748 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2749 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2750 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2753 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2754 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2755 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2756 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2757 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2759 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2761 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2763 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2764 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2765 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2767 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2768 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2769 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2771 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2772 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2773 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2775 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2777 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2778 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2779 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2781 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2782 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2784 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2785 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2786 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2787 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2788 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2789 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2792 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2793 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2794 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2795 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2798 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2801 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2802 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2803 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2804 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2805 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2806 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2808 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2809 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2810 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2811 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2812 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2815 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2816 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2817 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2818 BN_generate_prime().)
2820 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2821 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2822 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2826 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2827 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2830 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2831 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2832 when using non-blocking I/O.
2833 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2835 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2836 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2838 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2839 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2842 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2843 configuration for the versions before that.
2844 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2846 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2847 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2848 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2849 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2852 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2853 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2854 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2857 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2861 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2862 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2863 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2865 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2866 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2868 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2869 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2870 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2871 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2872 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2873 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2874 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2877 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2878 using a local variable.
2879 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2881 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2882 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2883 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2885 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2888 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2889 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2891 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2892 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2893 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2895 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2897 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2898 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2899 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2900 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2903 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2907 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2908 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2909 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2910 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2911 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2913 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2914 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2915 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2917 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2918 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2919 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2921 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2922 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2923 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2924 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2926 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2927 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2928 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2930 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2932 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2933 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2935 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2937 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2938 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2939 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2940 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2942 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2943 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2944 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2945 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2947 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2948 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2950 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2951 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2952 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2955 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2956 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2957 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2959 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2961 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2962 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2963 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2964 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2965 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2966 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2967 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2970 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2971 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2972 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2973 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2975 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2976 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2977 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2978 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2979 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2980 the client will at least see that alert.
2983 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2987 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2988 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2989 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2991 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2992 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2993 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2994 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2997 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2998 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2999 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3001 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3002 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3003 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3004 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3005 may leak via logfiles.)
3007 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3008 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3009 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3010 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3014 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3015 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3018 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3019 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3020 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3021 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3022 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3025 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3026 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3028 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3029 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3030 followed by modular reduction.
3031 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3033 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3034 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3037 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3038 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3039 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3040 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3043 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3046 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3047 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3050 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3051 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3052 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3053 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3054 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3055 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3057 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3059 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3060 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3061 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3062 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3063 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3065 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3068 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3069 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3070 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3071 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3072 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3073 to allow the necessary settings.
3076 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3077 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3078 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3079 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3082 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3083 dh->length and always used
3085 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3087 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3088 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3089 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3090 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3091 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3096 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3098 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3104 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3105 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3106 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3107 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3109 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3110 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3111 always reject numbers >= n.
3114 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3115 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3116 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3117 variable) is not atomic.
3120 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3121 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3122 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3123 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3125 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3126 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3128 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3130 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3132 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3135 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3137 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3138 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3139 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3140 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3141 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3142 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3143 to traverse all of 'state'.
3145 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3146 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3147 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3149 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3150 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3152 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3153 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3154 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3155 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3156 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3157 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3158 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3159 further strengthens the PRNG.
3162 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3165 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3166 an error message in this case.
3169 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3172 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3173 positive and less than q.
3176 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3177 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3179 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3181 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3182 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3186 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3188 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3189 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3190 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3191 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3192 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3193 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3194 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3197 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3198 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3199 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3200 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3202 Both problems are now fixed.
3205 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3206 (previously it was 1024).
3209 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3210 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3213 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3216 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3217 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3218 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3221 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3222 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3223 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3224 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3225 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3226 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3227 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3228 environment variables.
3230 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3231 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3232 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3235 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3236 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3237 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3238 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3239 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3240 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3243 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3247 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3249 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3250 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3252 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3253 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3254 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3255 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3259 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3260 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3261 amount of data available.
3262 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3263 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3265 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3266 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3267 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3268 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3271 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3272 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3276 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3277 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3278 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3279 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3282 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3285 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3288 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3289 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3291 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3293 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3294 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3295 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3296 (but broken) behaviour.
3299 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3301 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3303 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3304 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3307 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3311 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3312 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3314 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3317 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3318 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3319 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3321 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3322 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3323 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3326 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3327 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3330 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3331 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3333 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3335 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3337 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3338 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3339 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3340 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3343 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3346 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3347 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3348 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3350 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3353 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3355 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3356 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3357 but the code is actually correct.
3360 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3361 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3362 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3363 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3364 and leaves the highest bit random.
3365 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3367 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3368 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3369 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3370 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3371 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3372 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3373 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3376 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3379 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3380 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3383 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3384 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3385 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3386 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3390 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3391 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3392 and break the signature.
3394 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3396 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3400 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3401 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3402 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3403 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3404 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3407 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3408 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3410 *) ./config script fixes.
3411 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3413 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3416 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3417 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3418 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3419 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3420 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3422 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3423 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3426 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3427 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3430 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3431 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3432 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3433 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3435 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3436 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3438 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3439 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3440 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3441 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3442 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3444 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3447 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3450 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3453 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3456 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3457 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3460 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3461 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3462 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3463 result of the server certificate verification.)
3466 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3467 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3468 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3472 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3473 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3474 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3475 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3476 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3477 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3478 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3479 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3482 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3483 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3484 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3485 happening the other way round.
3488 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3489 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3492 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3493 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3494 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3495 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3498 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3499 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3501 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3503 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3504 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3505 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3508 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3510 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3512 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3516 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3518 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3519 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3520 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3521 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3522 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3524 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3525 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3529 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3532 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3534 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3535 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3536 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3537 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3538 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3539 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3540 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3541 by the Finished messages.
3544 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3545 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3547 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3548 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3549 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3550 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3551 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3555 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3556 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3557 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3558 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3559 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3560 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3561 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3562 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3563 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3567 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3568 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3569 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3570 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3572 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3573 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3574 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3575 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3576 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3579 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3580 been tested well enough.
3583 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3584 it can return incorrect results.
3585 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3586 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3589 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3590 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3591 include zero length content when signing messages.
3594 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3595 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3598 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3601 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3605 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3606 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3607 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3608 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3609 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3610 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3613 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3614 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3616 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3617 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3619 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3620 random number < q in the DSA library.
3623 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3624 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3625 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3626 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3627 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3628 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3629 just makes things more complicated.)
3632 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3636 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3637 work better on such systems.
3638 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3640 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3641 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3642 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3645 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3646 if there was more than one signature.
3647 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3649 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3650 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3651 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3652 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3655 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3656 rather than always using the current time.
3659 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3660 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3661 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3662 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3663 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3664 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3666 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3667 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3669 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3671 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3672 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3673 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3674 the same hash value.
3676 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3677 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3678 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3679 with X509_STORE internally.
3681 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3682 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3684 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3685 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3686 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3687 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3688 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3689 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3690 entirely (maybe later...).
3692 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3694 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3695 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3696 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3697 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3698 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3699 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3700 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3701 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3703 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3704 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3706 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3707 to customise the verify behaviour.
3710 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3711 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3714 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3715 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3716 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3717 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3718 request is improperly encoded.
3721 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3722 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3725 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3726 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3728 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3729 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3733 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3734 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3735 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3738 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3739 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3740 BIO/fp routines also added.
3743 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3744 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3746 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3747 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3748 demos/state_machine.
3751 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3752 generation and verification.
3755 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3756 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3757 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3758 encode and decode it manually.
3761 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3763 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3765 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3766 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3767 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3768 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3770 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3771 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3772 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3773 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3774 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3777 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3780 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3781 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3782 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3784 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3785 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3786 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3787 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3788 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3789 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3790 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3791 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3793 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3794 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3796 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3798 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3799 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3800 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3804 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3805 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3806 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3807 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3811 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3813 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3816 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3817 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3818 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3819 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3820 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3821 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3822 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3823 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3824 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3825 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3826 short or long names are found.
3829 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3830 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3832 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3833 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3834 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3835 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3837 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3838 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3839 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3840 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3843 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3844 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3845 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3848 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3849 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3850 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3851 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3852 to allow the various flags to be set.
3855 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3856 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3857 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3858 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3859 dates to be checked.
3862 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3863 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3864 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3867 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3868 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3869 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3872 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3873 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3876 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3877 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3878 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3879 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3880 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3881 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3884 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3885 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3889 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3893 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3894 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3895 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3896 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3897 form signing output easier to verify.
3900 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3903 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3904 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3905 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3906 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3907 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3908 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3909 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3910 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3911 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3912 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3915 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3917 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3918 the syntax given in objects.README.
3919 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3921 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3924 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3925 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3926 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3927 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3928 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3929 consistent name changes.
3932 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3935 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3936 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3937 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3938 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3941 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3942 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3943 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3947 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3948 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3949 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3950 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3953 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3954 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3955 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3956 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3957 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3958 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3959 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3960 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3961 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3962 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3963 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3966 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3967 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3968 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3969 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3970 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3971 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3972 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3973 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3974 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3975 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3978 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3979 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3980 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3981 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3983 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3984 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3985 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3986 omit any duplicate addresses.
3989 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3990 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3993 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3994 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3995 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3996 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3997 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4000 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4002 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4003 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4004 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4005 Free => OPENSSL_free
4008 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4009 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4012 *) CygWin32 support.
4013 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4015 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4016 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4017 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4018 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4019 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4023 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4024 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4025 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4026 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4027 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4028 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4029 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4032 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4033 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4034 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4035 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4036 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4037 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4038 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4039 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4040 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4041 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4042 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4045 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4046 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4047 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4048 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4049 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4051 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4052 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4053 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4054 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4055 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4057 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4060 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4061 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4062 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4063 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4065 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4067 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4070 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4071 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4072 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4075 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4076 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4077 any installed hardware versions can.
4080 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4081 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4082 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4086 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4087 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4088 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4089 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4090 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4092 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4093 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4096 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4097 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4100 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4101 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4102 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4106 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4109 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4110 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4111 but no ssl client purpose.
4112 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4114 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4115 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4116 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4117 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4118 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4119 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4120 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4121 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4122 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4123 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4124 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4127 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4128 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4129 be obtained from the error queue.
4132 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4133 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4134 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4135 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4138 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4141 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4142 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4143 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4144 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4145 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4148 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4149 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4150 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4151 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4152 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4155 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4156 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4157 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4159 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4161 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4162 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4163 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4164 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4165 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4166 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4167 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4168 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4169 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4170 or "the configuration storage API"...
4172 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4174 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4175 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4177 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4179 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4181 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4182 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4183 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4184 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4185 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4186 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4187 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4189 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4190 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4193 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4194 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4195 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4196 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4199 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4200 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4201 them in a portable way.
4202 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4204 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4206 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4208 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4209 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4211 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4212 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4213 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4216 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4217 was larger than the MD block size.
4218 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4220 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4221 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4222 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4223 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4227 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4228 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4229 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4231 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4233 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4235 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4236 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4237 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4238 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4239 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4240 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4242 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4243 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4245 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4246 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4249 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4252 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4253 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4255 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4256 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4257 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4258 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4261 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4262 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4263 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4264 does not suppress any output.
4267 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4268 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4269 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4270 with all the associated security issues.
4272 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4273 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4274 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4275 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4276 use the value in the default purpose.
4279 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4280 and fix a memory leak.
4283 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4284 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4285 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4286 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4289 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4290 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4291 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4292 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4295 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4296 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4297 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4300 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4301 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4304 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4305 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4309 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4310 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4313 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4314 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4315 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4318 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4319 number generation fails.
4322 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4325 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4326 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4328 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4331 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4332 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4334 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4335 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4337 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4339 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4340 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4343 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4344 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4346 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4347 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4350 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4351 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4352 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4353 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4354 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4355 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4357 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4358 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4359 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4363 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4364 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4365 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4366 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4367 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4368 counter, some don't.)
4369 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4370 counters or duplicate objects.
4373 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4374 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4377 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4378 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4379 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4381 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4382 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4383 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4387 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4388 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4391 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4392 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4393 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4397 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4398 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4399 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4402 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4403 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4404 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4405 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4406 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4407 should work without changes.
4410 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4411 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4412 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4413 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4414 must be defined. E.g.,
4415 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4416 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4417 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4418 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4420 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4424 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4425 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4426 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4429 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4430 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4431 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4432 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4435 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4436 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4437 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4438 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4439 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4440 is prompted for as usual.
4443 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4444 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4445 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4446 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4448 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4449 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4450 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4451 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4454 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4457 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4461 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4464 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4467 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4471 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4474 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4477 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4478 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4481 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4482 options to produce them.
4485 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4486 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4489 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4493 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4494 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4495 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4496 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4497 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4498 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4499 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4502 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4505 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4506 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4507 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4510 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4511 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4513 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4514 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4517 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4518 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4519 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4523 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4524 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4526 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4527 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4528 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4529 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4530 generation becomes much faster.
4532 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4533 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4534 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4535 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4536 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4537 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4538 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4539 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4540 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4541 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4544 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4545 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4546 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4547 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4548 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4549 trial division stage.
4552 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4556 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4559 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4562 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4563 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4564 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4568 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4569 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4570 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4573 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4574 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4575 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4576 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4578 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4579 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4582 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4585 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4586 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4587 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4588 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4591 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4592 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4593 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4596 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4597 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4598 (instead of parameters) in future.
4601 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4602 when a new cipher list is set.
4605 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4606 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4609 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4610 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4611 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4613 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4614 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4615 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4616 an error is flagged.
4618 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4619 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4620 the readability was also increased :-)
4621 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4623 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4624 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4625 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4626 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4630 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4631 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4634 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4635 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4636 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4637 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4640 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4641 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4642 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4643 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4644 because they handle more complex structures.)
4647 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
4648 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
4649 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
4650 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4652 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
4653 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
4654 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
4655 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
4656 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
4657 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
4658 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
4661 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
4662 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
4663 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
4664 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
4665 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
4668 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
4671 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
4672 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
4673 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
4674 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
4675 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
4678 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
4682 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
4683 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
4684 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
4685 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
4688 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
4691 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
4692 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4693 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4694 international characters are used.
4696 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4697 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4698 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4702 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4703 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4704 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4707 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4708 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4709 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4710 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4711 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4712 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4714 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4715 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4716 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4717 be handled by the string table functions.
4719 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4720 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4721 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4722 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4723 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4727 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4728 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4729 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4730 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4731 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4733 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4734 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4735 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4736 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4739 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4740 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4741 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4742 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4743 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4747 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4748 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4749 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4750 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4751 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4752 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4753 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4754 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4756 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4757 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4758 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4761 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4762 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4763 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4764 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4765 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4766 support to pkcs8 application.
4769 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4770 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4771 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4772 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4773 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
4774 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4777 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4778 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4779 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4780 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4781 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4785 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4786 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4787 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4788 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4792 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4793 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4794 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4795 and any application specific purposes.
4797 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4798 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4799 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4800 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4801 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4802 if the certificate is self signed.
4805 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4806 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4809 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4810 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4811 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4812 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4815 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4816 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4817 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4818 Update documentation.
4821 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4822 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4823 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4824 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4825 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4828 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4830 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4832 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4833 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4834 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4835 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4836 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4837 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4838 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4839 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4840 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4841 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4843 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4845 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4846 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4847 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4848 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4849 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4851 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4852 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4853 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4854 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4855 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4856 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4857 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4858 request additional information:
4859 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4860 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4862 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4863 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4864 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4867 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4868 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4871 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4874 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4875 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4877 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4878 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4879 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4883 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4884 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4885 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4887 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4888 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4889 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4890 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4891 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4892 included in OpenSSL.
4895 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4896 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4897 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4898 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4899 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4900 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4903 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4907 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4908 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4909 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4910 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4911 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4915 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4919 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4920 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4921 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4922 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4923 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4924 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4925 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4926 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4927 be maintained manually.
4929 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4930 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4931 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4932 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4933 work because people forget to call this function]
4934 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4935 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4936 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4939 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4940 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4941 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4942 should be discouraged from doing it.
4945 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4946 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4947 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4948 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4949 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4950 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4953 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4954 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4955 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4957 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4958 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4959 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4961 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4962 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4963 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4964 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4965 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4966 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4968 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4969 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4970 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4972 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4973 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4976 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4977 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4978 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4979 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4982 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4985 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4986 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4987 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4988 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4989 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4990 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4991 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4992 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4993 keys so we should be OK.
4995 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4996 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4997 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4998 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4999 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5000 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5001 stay in the name of compatibility.
5003 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5004 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5005 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5007 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5008 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5009 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5010 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5011 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5012 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5016 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5017 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5018 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5019 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5020 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5021 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5022 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5023 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5024 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5025 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5026 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5027 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5028 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5031 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5034 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5035 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5036 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5037 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5038 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5039 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5040 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5041 openssl verify ss.pem
5042 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5043 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5047 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5048 (and add it to external session representation).
5049 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5050 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5051 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5052 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5053 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5054 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5056 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5058 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5059 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5060 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5061 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5063 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5064 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5065 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5068 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5069 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5070 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5074 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5075 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5076 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5078 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5079 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5080 certificate auxiliary information.
5083 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5087 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5088 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5089 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5090 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5091 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5092 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5093 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5096 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5097 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5100 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5101 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5102 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5103 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5106 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5109 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5110 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5113 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5114 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5115 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5116 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5117 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5118 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5119 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5120 using the new 'x509' options.
5122 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5123 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5124 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5125 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5129 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5130 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5131 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5132 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5133 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5136 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5137 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5138 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5139 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5140 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5141 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5142 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5143 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5144 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5145 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5148 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5149 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5150 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5151 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5152 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5153 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5154 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5157 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5158 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5159 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5160 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5161 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5162 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5163 openssl.cnf for more info.
5166 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5167 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5168 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5169 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5170 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5171 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5172 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5173 md should be large enough anyway.
5176 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5177 for handling the random seed file.
5179 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5181 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5184 x509 (when signing).
5185 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5186 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5187 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5189 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5190 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5191 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5192 that support '-rand'.
5195 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5196 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5199 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5200 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5203 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5204 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5205 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5206 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5210 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5211 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5212 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5213 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5216 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5217 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5218 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5219 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5220 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5221 print out all the purposes.
5224 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5228 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5229 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5230 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5231 single function call.
5234 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5235 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5238 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5239 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5240 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5243 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5244 when producing the local key id.
5245 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5247 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5248 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5249 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5253 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5254 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5255 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5256 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5259 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5260 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5261 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5262 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5264 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5265 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5266 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5267 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5269 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5270 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5271 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5272 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5273 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5274 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5275 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5276 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5277 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5278 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5279 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5280 trivial: move one line.
5281 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5283 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5284 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5285 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5286 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5287 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5288 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5289 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5290 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5291 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5292 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5293 with an event loop for example.
5296 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5297 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5298 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5299 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5300 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5301 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5302 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5303 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5304 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5307 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5308 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5309 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5310 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5311 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5312 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5315 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5316 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5317 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5318 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5320 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5321 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5322 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5323 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5327 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5328 (still largely untested)
5331 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5332 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5335 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5336 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5339 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5340 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5341 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5344 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5345 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5346 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5347 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5348 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5351 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5354 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5355 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5356 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5357 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5358 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5362 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5363 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5366 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5369 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5370 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5371 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5372 are otherwise ignored at present.
5375 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5376 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5377 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5378 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5379 copied until the next read.
5382 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5383 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5384 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5387 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5388 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5389 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5390 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5391 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5392 associated functions.
5395 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5396 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5397 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5398 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5399 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5400 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5401 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5402 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5403 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5407 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5408 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5409 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5410 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5413 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5414 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5415 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5416 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5417 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5421 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5422 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5426 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5427 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5428 extensions to be obtained and added.
5431 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5432 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5435 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5437 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5438 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5440 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5441 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5443 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5447 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5448 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5449 DH parameters contain its length).
5451 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5452 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5453 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5454 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5455 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5456 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5457 utter importance to use
5458 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5460 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5461 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5462 attacks may become possible!
5465 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5468 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5469 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5472 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5473 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5474 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5478 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5479 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5480 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5481 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5482 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5483 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5484 private key operations.
5487 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5490 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5491 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5493 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5494 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5495 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5496 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5497 the password callback is called.
5498 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5500 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5502 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5503 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5504 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5505 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5506 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5507 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5510 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5511 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5512 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5513 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5514 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5515 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5518 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5521 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5522 delete an unused file.
5525 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5526 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5527 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5528 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5531 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5532 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5533 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5537 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5538 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5539 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5541 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5542 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5543 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5544 comparison" warnings.
5545 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5548 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5549 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5550 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5553 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5554 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5556 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5557 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5559 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5560 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5561 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5563 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5564 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5565 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5566 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5567 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5569 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5571 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5572 The interface is as follows:
5573 Applications can use
5574 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5575 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5576 "off" is now the default.
5577 The library internally uses
5578 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5579 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5580 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5582 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5583 even the default) are now avoided.
5585 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5586 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5587 than just having a counter.
5589 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5591 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5595 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5596 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5597 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5598 Initial "mode" flags are:
5600 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5601 a single record has been written.
5602 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5603 retries use the same buffer location.
5604 (But all of the contents must be
5608 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5611 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5612 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5614 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5615 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5616 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5619 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5620 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5622 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5624 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5625 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5626 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5627 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5629 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5630 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5632 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5633 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5634 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5635 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5636 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5637 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5640 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5641 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5642 necessary function names.
5645 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5646 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5647 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
5648 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
5651 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
5652 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
5653 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
5656 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
5657 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
5658 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
5659 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
5661 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
5665 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
5666 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
5667 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
5670 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
5671 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
5675 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
5676 for the encoded length.
5677 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
5679 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
5682 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
5683 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
5684 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
5685 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
5688 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
5689 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
5690 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5692 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5693 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5694 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5698 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5699 to use the new extension code.
5702 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5703 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5704 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5708 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5709 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5710 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5714 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5717 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5718 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5719 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5722 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5723 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5724 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5725 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5728 *) DES library cleanups.
5731 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5732 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5733 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5734 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5735 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5739 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5740 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5743 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5744 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5745 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5746 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5747 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5748 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5749 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5750 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5751 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5754 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5755 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5756 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5757 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5758 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5759 value doesn't matter.
5762 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5766 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5767 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5768 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5769 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5771 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
5774 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
5775 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
5776 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5778 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5779 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5781 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5784 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5787 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5790 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5794 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5796 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5798 *) Updated some demos.
5799 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5801 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5804 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5807 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5810 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5811 instead of using a fixed path.
5814 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5817 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5821 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5823 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5824 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5825 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5827 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5828 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5829 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5830 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5831 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5832 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5833 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5834 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5835 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5836 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5839 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5840 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5843 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5844 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5845 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5846 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5847 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5849 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5852 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5853 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5854 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5857 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5860 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5861 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5862 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5863 key elements as negative integers.
5866 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5867 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5870 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5872 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5873 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5874 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5877 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5878 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5879 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5880 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5881 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5884 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5887 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5888 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5889 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5890 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5892 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5893 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5894 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5896 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5897 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5898 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5899 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5900 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5901 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5902 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5903 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5904 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5906 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5907 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5908 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5909 does not influence s as it used to.
5911 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5912 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5913 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5914 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5915 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5916 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5919 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5920 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5921 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5925 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5926 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5927 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5931 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5932 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5933 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5937 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5938 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5941 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5942 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5947 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5948 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5950 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5951 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5953 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5956 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5959 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5960 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5962 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5963 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5964 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5968 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5969 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5970 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5971 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5972 now it really counts the depth.
5975 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5976 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5977 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5978 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5979 didn't match the private key).
5981 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5982 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5983 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5986 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5989 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5993 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5994 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5995 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5998 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6001 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6002 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6003 such as /usr/local/bin.
6006 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6007 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6009 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6012 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6013 extension adding in x509 utility.
6016 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6019 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6023 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6026 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6027 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6028 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6029 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6030 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6031 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6032 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6033 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6034 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6035 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6038 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6041 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6042 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6045 *) Fix some race conditions.
6048 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6049 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6052 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6055 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6056 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6057 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6058 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6060 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6061 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6063 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6064 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6065 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6067 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6068 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6070 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6073 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6074 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6076 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6079 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6080 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6082 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6083 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6086 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6087 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6090 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6091 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6094 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6095 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6098 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6099 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6102 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6103 support typesafe stack.
6106 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6107 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6109 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6110 old X509V3 handling code.
6113 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6116 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6119 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6122 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6123 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6125 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6126 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6127 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6128 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6129 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6132 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6133 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6134 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6135 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6136 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6138 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6139 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6140 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6141 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6143 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6144 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6145 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6146 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6148 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6149 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6150 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6151 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6152 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6153 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6156 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6157 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6160 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6161 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6164 *) Tweaks to Configure
6165 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6167 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6171 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6174 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6175 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6178 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6179 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6180 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6183 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6186 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6187 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6190 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6191 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6192 to library startup routines.
6195 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6196 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6197 codes along the way.
6200 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6201 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6202 objects to objects.h
6205 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6206 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6209 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6210 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6212 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6213 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6214 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6216 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6217 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6218 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6220 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6221 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6222 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6225 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6227 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6228 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6231 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6232 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6233 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6234 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6235 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6237 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6238 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6239 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6241 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6243 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6245 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6247 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6248 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6250 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6251 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6252 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6253 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6255 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6258 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6259 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6260 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6261 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6264 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6265 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6266 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6269 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6270 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6271 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6272 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6273 installed as `perl').
6274 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6276 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6277 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6279 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6280 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6281 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6282 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6283 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6286 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6289 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6290 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6291 is horrible: I feel ill....
6294 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6295 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6296 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6297 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6300 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6301 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6303 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6304 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6305 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6306 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6308 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6309 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6310 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6311 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6312 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6313 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6315 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6317 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6318 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6320 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6321 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6323 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6326 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6327 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6331 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6332 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6333 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6334 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6335 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6336 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6337 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6338 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6339 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6340 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6341 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6343 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6346 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6347 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6348 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6349 for linking it into DSOs.
6350 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6352 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6356 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6357 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6358 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6359 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6360 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6361 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6363 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6364 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6365 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6366 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6367 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6368 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6369 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6371 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6372 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6373 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6377 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6378 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6379 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6380 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6383 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6384 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6385 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6386 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6387 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6391 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6392 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6393 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6394 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6395 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6397 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6398 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6399 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6401 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6402 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6404 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6405 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6406 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6407 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6408 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6411 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6412 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6413 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6414 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6415 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6416 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6417 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6420 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6422 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6423 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6426 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6427 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6429 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6430 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6433 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6434 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6435 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6436 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6437 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6439 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6440 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6441 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6442 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6443 no way to reconfigure them.
6444 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6445 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6446 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6447 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6448 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6449 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6451 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6452 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6453 recognized by the users.
6454 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6456 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6457 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6458 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6459 already masked variable.
6460 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6462 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6463 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6465 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6466 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6467 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6468 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6470 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6471 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6472 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6474 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6475 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6476 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6477 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6478 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6479 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6480 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6481 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6483 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6485 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6486 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6487 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6489 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6490 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6494 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6495 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6497 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6498 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6499 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6500 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6503 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6506 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6507 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6509 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6512 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6513 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6516 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6517 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6520 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6521 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6522 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6523 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6524 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6525 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6526 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6529 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6530 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6532 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6533 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6534 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6535 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6536 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6538 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6539 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6540 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6543 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6544 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6548 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6549 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6550 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6552 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6553 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6554 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6558 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6559 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6560 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6561 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6564 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6565 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6566 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6567 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6570 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6571 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6572 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6573 so it wasn't spotted.
6574 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6576 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6577 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6578 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6579 vectors if you have them.
6582 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6583 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6586 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6587 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6588 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6589 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6591 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6592 it will update them.
6595 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6596 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6597 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6598 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6599 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6600 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6601 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6602 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6604 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6605 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6606 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6607 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6608 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6609 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6610 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6611 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6612 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6613 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6615 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6616 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6617 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6618 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6619 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6622 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6626 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6627 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6629 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6630 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6632 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6633 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6636 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6637 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6639 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6640 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6642 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6645 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
6649 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
6650 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
6651 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
6652 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6654 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6657 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6660 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
6663 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
6664 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
6667 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
6668 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
6672 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
6673 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
6676 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
6677 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
6678 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
6681 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
6682 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
6683 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
6684 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
6685 properly to be processed.
6688 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
6689 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
6690 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
6693 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6694 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6696 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6697 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6698 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6699 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6700 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6701 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6702 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6703 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6704 or delete all the .err files.
6707 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6708 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6709 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6710 to regenerate it if needed.
6711 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6712 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6714 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6715 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6717 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6718 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6719 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6720 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6721 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6724 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6725 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6727 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6728 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6730 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6731 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6732 error, but didn't set one).
6733 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6735 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6738 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6739 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6742 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6743 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6745 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6746 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6747 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6748 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6749 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6750 OID is not part of the table.
6753 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6754 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6757 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6760 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6761 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6765 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6766 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6768 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6770 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6772 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6773 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6775 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
6776 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6778 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6779 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6781 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6782 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6785 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6786 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6789 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6790 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6792 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6793 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6795 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6796 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6798 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6799 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6801 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6802 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6803 unused in the certificate verification process.
6804 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6806 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6807 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6810 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6811 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6812 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6814 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6815 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6816 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6817 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6818 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6820 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6821 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6824 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6827 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6830 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6831 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6833 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6836 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6839 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6842 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6843 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6844 other error libraries.
6847 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6850 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6851 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6855 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6856 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6857 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6858 the new set of documenation files.
6859 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6861 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6862 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6863 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6864 number of arguments.
6865 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6867 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6870 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6871 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6872 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6874 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6877 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6881 unixware-2.0-pentium
6885 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6886 before they are needed.
6889 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6893 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6895 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6896 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6897 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6899 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6902 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6903 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6904 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6906 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6907 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6908 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6910 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6911 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6912 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6914 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6915 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6917 *) Updated the README file.
6918 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6920 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6921 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6922 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6924 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6925 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6926 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6928 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6929 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6930 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6931 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6932 o removed obsolete TODO file
6933 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6934 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6936 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6937 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6938 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

6941 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6942 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6944 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6947 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6948 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6949 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6951 [The OpenSSL Project]
6954 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6956 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6959 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6962 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6963 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6966 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6967 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6971 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6973 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6975 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6978 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6981 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6984 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6987 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6990 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6993 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6996 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6999 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7002 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7005 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7008 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7011 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7014 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7017 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7020 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7023 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7026 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7027 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7028 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7031 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7032 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7035 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7038 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7041 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7042 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7045 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7048 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7051 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7052 bytes sent in the client random.
