OpenSSL 3.0
-----------
+For OpenSSL 3.0 a [Migration guide][] has been added, so the CHANGES entries
+listed here are only a brief description.
+The migration guide contains more detailed information related to new features,
+breaking changes, and mappings for the large list of deprecated functions.
+
+[Migration guide]: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/tree/master/doc/man7/migration_guide.pod
+
### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ * Add a configurable flag to output date formats as ISO 8601. Does not
+ change the default date format.
+
+ *William Edmisten*
+
+ * Version of MSVC earlier than 1300 could get link warnings, which could
+ be suppressed if the undocumented -DI_CAN_LIVE_WITH_LNK4049 was set.
+ Support for this flag has been removed.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * Rework and make DEBUG macros consistent. Remove unused -DCONF_DEBUG,
+ -DBN_CTX_DEBUG, and REF_PRINT. Add a new tracing category and use it for
+ printing reference counts. Rename -DDEBUG_UNUSED to -DUNUSED_RESULT_DEBUG
+ Fix BN_DEBUG_RAND so it compiles and, when set, force DEBUG_RAND to be set
+ also. Rename engine_debug_ref to be ENGINE_REF_PRINT also for consistency.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * The signatures of the functions to get and set options on SSL and
+ SSL_CTX objects changed from "unsigned long" to "uint64_t" type.
+ Some source code changes may be required.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * The public definitions of conf_method_st and conf_st have been
+ deprecated. They will be made opaque in a future release.
+
+ *Rich Salz and Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Client-initiated renegotiation is disabled by default. To allow it, use
+ the -client_renegotiation option, the SSL_OP_ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION
+ flag, or the "ClientRenegotiation" config parameter as appropriate.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * Add "abspath" and "includedir" pragma's to config files, to prevent,
+ or modify relative pathname inclusion.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * OpenSSL includes a cryptographic module that is intended to be FIPS 140-2
+ validated. Please consult the README-FIPS and
+ README-PROVIDERS files, as well as the migration guide.
+
+ *OpenSSL team members and many third party contributors*
+
+ * For the key types DH and DHX the allowed settable parameters are now different.
+
+ *Shane Lontis*
+
+ * The openssl commands that read keys, certificates, and CRLs now
+ automatically detect the PEM or DER format of the input files.
+
+ *David von Oheimb, Richard Levitte, and Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Added enhanced PKCS#12 APIs which accept a library context.
+
+ *Jon Spillett*
+
+ * The default manual page suffix ($MANSUFFIX) has been changed to "ossl"
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Added support for Kernel TLS (KTLS).
+
+ *Boris Pismenny, John Baldwin and Andrew Gallatin*
+
+ * Support for RFC 5746 secure renegotiation is now required by default for
+ SSL or TLS connections to succeed.
+
+ *Benjamin Kaduk*
+
+ * The signature of the `copy` functional parameter of the
+ EVP_PKEY_meth_set_copy() function has changed so its `src` argument is
+ now `const EVP_PKEY_CTX *` instead of `EVP_PKEY_CTX *`. Similarly
+ the signature of the `pub_decode` functional parameter of the
+ EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_public() function has changed so its `pub` argument is
+ now `const X509_PUBKEY *` instead of `X509_PUBKEY *`.
+
+ *David von Oheimb*
+
+ * The error return values from some control calls (ctrl) have changed.
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+ * A public key check is now performed during EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer().
+
+ *Shane Lontis*
+
+ * Many functions in the EVP_ namespace that are getters of values from
+ implementations or contexts were renamed to include get or get0 in their
+ names. Old names are provided as macro aliases for compatibility and
+ are not deprecated.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * The EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_ENCRYPT, EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_DECRYPT,
+ EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN, EVP_PKEY_CTRL_CMS_ENCRYPT,
+ EVP_PKEY_CTRL_CMS_DECRYPT, and EVP_PKEY_CTRL_CMS_SIGN control operations
+ are deprecated.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * The EVP_PKEY_public_check() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() functions now work for
+ more key types.
+
+ * The output from the command line applications may have minor
+ changes.
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+ * The output from numerous "printing" may have minor changes.
+
+ *David von Oheimb*
+
+ * Windows thread synchronization uses read/write primitives (SRWLock) when
+ supported by the OS, otherwise CriticalSection continues to be used.
+
+ *Vincent Drake*
+
+ * Add filter BIO BIO_f_readbuffer() that allows BIO_tell() and BIO_seek() to
+ work on read only BIO source/sinks that do not support these functions.
+ This allows piping or redirection of a file BIO using stdin to be buffered
+ into memory. This is used internally in OSSL_DECODER_from_bio().
+
+ *Shane Lontis*
+
+ * OSSL_STORE_INFO_get_type() may now return an additional value. In 1.1.1
+ this function would return one of the values OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME,
+ OSSL_STORE_INFO_PKEY, OSSL_STORE_INFO_PARAMS, OSSL_STORE_INFO_CERT or
+ OSSL_STORE_INFO_CRL. Decoded public keys would previously have been reported
+ as type OSSL_STORE_INFO_PKEY in 1.1.1. In 3.0 decoded public keys are now
+ reported as having the new type OSSL_STORE_INFO_PUBKEY. Applications
+ using this function should be amended to handle the changed return value.
+
+ *Richard Levitte*
+
+ * Improved adherence to Enhanced Security Services (ESS, RFC 2634 and RFC 5035)
+ for the TSP and CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES) implementations.
+ As required by RFC 5035 check both ESSCertID and ESSCertIDv2 if both present.
+ Correct the semantics of checking the validation chain in case ESSCertID{,v2}
+ contains more than one certificate identifier: This means that all
+ certificates referenced there MUST be part of the validation chain.
+
+ *David von Oheimb*
+
+ * The implementation of older EVP ciphers related to CAST, IDEA, SEED, RC2, RC4,
+ RC5, DESX and DES have been moved to the legacy provider.
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * The implementation of the EVP digests MD2, MD4, MDC2, WHIRLPOOL and
+ RIPEMD-160 have been moved to the legacy provider.
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * The deprecated function EVP_PKEY_get0() now returns NULL being called for a
+ provided key.
+
+ *Dmitry Belyavskiy*
+
+ * The deprecated functions EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(),
+ EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH(),
+ EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305() and EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash() as
+ well as the similarly named "get1" functions behave differently in
+ OpenSSL 3.0.
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * A number of functions handling low-level keys or engines were deprecated
+ including EVP_PKEY_set1_engine(), EVP_PKEY_get0_engine(), EVP_PKEY_assign(),
+ EVP_PKEY_get0(), EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305() and
+ EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash().
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * PKCS#5 PBKDF1 key derivation has been moved from PKCS5_PBE_keyivgen() into
+ the legacy crypto provider as an EVP_KDF. Applications requiring this KDF
+ will need to load the legacy crypto provider. This includes these PBE
+ algorithms which use this KDF:
+ - NID_pbeWithMD2AndDES_CBC
+ - NID_pbeWithMD5AndDES_CBC
+ - NID_pbeWithSHA1AndRC2_CBC
+ - NID_pbeWithMD2AndRC2_CBC
+ - NID_pbeWithMD5AndRC2_CBC
+ - NID_pbeWithSHA1AndDES_CBC
+
+ *Jon Spillett*
+
+ * Deprecated obsolete BIO_set_callback(), BIO_get_callback(), and
+ BIO_debug_callback() functions.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Deprecated obsolete EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_dh_kdf_ukm() and
+ EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_ecdh_kdf_ukm() functions.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * The RAND_METHOD APIs have been deprecated.
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+ * The SRP APIs have been deprecated.
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Add a compile time option to prevent the caching of provider fetched
+ algorithms. This is enabled by including the no-cached-fetch option
+ at configuration time.
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+ * pkcs12 now uses defaults of PBKDF2, AES and SHA-256, with a MAC iteration
+ count of PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz and Sahana Prasad*
+
+ * The openssl speed command does not use low-level API calls anymore.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Parallel dual-prime 1024-bit modular exponentiation for AVX512_IFMA
+ capable processors.
+
+ *Ilya Albrekht, Sergey Kirillov, Andrey Matyukov (Intel Corp)*
+
+ * Combining the Configure options no-ec and no-dh no longer disables TLSv1.3.
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Implemented support for fully "pluggable" TLSv1.3 groups. This means that
+ providers may supply their own group implementations (using either the "key
+ exchange" or the "key encapsulation" methods) which will automatically be
+ detected and used by libssl.
+
+ *Matt Caswell, Nicola Tuveri*
+
+ * The undocumented function X509_certificate_type() has been deprecated;
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * Deprecated the obsolete BN_pseudo_rand() and BN_pseudo_rand_range().
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Removed RSA padding mode for SSLv23 (which was only used for
+ SSLv2). This includes the functions RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() and
+ RSA_padding_add_SSLv23() and the `-ssl` option in the deprecated
+ `rsautl` command.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * Deprecated the obsolete X9.31 RSA key generation related functions.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * The default key generation method for the regular 2-prime RSA keys was
+ changed to the FIPS 186-4 B.3.6 method.
+
+ *Shane Lontis*
+
+ * Deprecated the BN_is_prime_ex() and BN_is_prime_fasttest_ex() functions.
+
+ *Kurt Roeckx*
+
+ * Deprecated EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn() and EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn().
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * Deprecated the type OCSP_REQ_CTX and the functions OCSP_REQ_CTX_*() and
+ replaced with OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX and the functions OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_*().
+
+ *Rich Salz, Richard Levitte, and David von Oheimb*
+
+ * Deprecated `X509_http_nbio()` and `X509_CRL_http_nbio()`.
+
+ *David von Oheimb*
+
+ * Deprecated `OCSP_parse_url()`.
+
+ *David von Oheimb*
+
* Validation of SM2 keys has been separated from the validation of regular EC
- keys, allowing to improve the SM2 validation process to reject loaded private
- keys that are not conforming to the SM2 ISO standard.
- In particular, a private scalar `k` outside the range `1 <= k < n-1` is now
- correctly rejected.
+ keys.
*Nicola Tuveri*
*Otto Hollmann*
- * The -cipher-commands and -digest-commands options of the command line
- utility list has been deprecated.
- Instead use the -cipher-algorithms and -digest-algorithms options.
+ * The `-cipher-commands` and `-digest-commands` options
+ of the command line utility `list` have been deprecated.
+ Instead use the `-cipher-algorithms` and `-digest-algorithms` options.
*Dmitry Belyavskiy*
+ * Added convenience functions for generating asymmetric key pairs:
+ The 'quick' one-shot (yet somewhat limited) function L<EVP_PKEY_Q_keygen(3)>
+ and macros for the most common cases: <EVP_RSA_gen(3)> and L<EVP_EC_gen(3)>.
+
+ *David von Oheimb*
+
+ * All of the low level EC_KEY functions have been deprecated.
+
+ *Shane Lontis, Paul Dale, Richard Levitte, and Tomáš Mráz*
+
* Deprecated all the libcrypto and libssl error string loading
- functions: ERR_load_ASN1_strings(), ERR_load_ASYNC_strings(),
- ERR_load_BIO_strings(), ERR_load_BN_strings(), ERR_load_BUF_strings(),
- ERR_load_CMS_strings(), ERR_load_COMP_strings(), ERR_load_CONF_strings(),
- ERR_load_CRYPTO_strings(), ERR_load_CT_strings(), ERR_load_DH_strings(),
- ERR_load_DSA_strings(), ERR_load_EC_strings(), ERR_load_ENGINE_strings(),
- ERR_load_ERR_strings(), ERR_load_EVP_strings(), ERR_load_KDF_strings(),
- ERR_load_OBJ_strings(), ERR_load_OCSP_strings(), ERR_load_PEM_strings(),
- ERR_load_PKCS12_strings(), ERR_load_PKCS7_strings(), ERR_load_RAND_strings(),
- ERR_load_RSA_strings(), ERR_load_OSSL_STORE_strings(), ERR_load_TS_strings(),
- ERR_load_UI_strings(), ERR_load_X509_strings(), ERR_load_X509V3_strings().
-
- Calling these functions is not necessary since OpenSSL 1.1.0, as OpenSSL
- now loads error strings automatically.
+ functions.
*Richard Levitte*
* The functions SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback, as
well as the macros SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh() and SSL_set_tmp_dh() have been
- deprecated. These are used to set the Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters that
- are to be used by servers requiring ephemeral DH keys. Instead applications
- should consider using the built-in DH parameters that are available by
- calling SSL_CTX_set_dh_auto() or SSL_set_dh_auto(). If custom parameters are
- necessary then applications can use the alternative functions
- SSL_CTX_set0_tmp_dh_pkey() and SSL_set0_tmp_dh_pkey(). There is no direct
- replacement for the "callback" functions. The callback was originally useful
- in order to have different parameters for export and non-export ciphersuites.
- Export ciphersuites are no longer supported by OpenSSL. Use of the callback
- functions should be replaced by one of the other methods described above.
+ deprecated.
*Matt Caswell*
- * The -crypt option to the passwd command line tool has been removed.
+ * The `-crypt` option to the `passwd` command line tool has been removed.
*Paul Dale*
- * The -C option to the x509, dhparam, dsaparam, and ecparam commands
+ * The -C option to the `x509`, `dhparam`, `dsaparam`, and `ecparam` commands
were removed.
*Rich Salz*
* Add support for AES Key Wrap inverse ciphers to the EVP layer.
- The algorithms are:
- "AES-128-WRAP-INV", "AES-192-WRAP-INV", "AES-256-WRAP-INV",
- "AES-128-WRAP-PAD-INV", "AES-192-WRAP-PAD-INV" and "AES-256-WRAP-PAD-INV".
- The inverse ciphers use AES decryption for wrapping, and
- AES encryption for unwrapping.
*Shane Lontis*
* Deprecated EVP_PKEY_set1_tls_encodedpoint() and
- EVP_PKEY_get1_tls_encodedpoint(). These functions were previously used by
- libssl to set or get an encoded public key in/from an EVP_PKEY object. With
- OpenSSL 3.0 these are replaced by the more generic functions
- EVP_PKEY_set1_encoded_public_key() and EVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key().
- The old versions have been converted to deprecated macros that just call the
- new functions.
+ EVP_PKEY_get1_tls_encodedpoint().
*Matt Caswell*
* The security callback, which can be customised by application code, supports
- the security operation SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH. This is defined to take an EVP_PKEY
- in the "other" parameter. In most places this is what is passed. All these
- places occur server side. However there was one client side call of this
- security operation and it passed a DH object instead. This is incorrect
- according to the definition of SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH, and is inconsistent with all
- of the other locations. Therefore this client side call has been changed to
- pass an EVP_PKEY instead.
+ the security operation SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH. One location of the "other" parameter
+ was incorrectly passing a DH object. It now passed an EVP_PKEY in all cases.
*Matt Caswell*
*Paul Dale*
- * Deprecated EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type(). This function was previously
- needed as a workaround to recognise SM2 keys. With OpenSSL 3.0, this key
- type is internally recognised so the workaround is no longer needed.
-
- Functionality is still retained as it is, but will only work with
- EVP_PKEYs with a legacy internal key.
+ * Removed EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type().
*Richard Levitte*
- * Deprecated EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp() & introduced
- EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_rsa_keygen_pubexp(), which is now preferred.
+ * Deprecated `EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp()` and introduced
+ `EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_rsa_keygen_pubexp()`, which is now preferred.
*Jeremy Walch*
* Remove the RAND_DRBG API
- The RAND_DRBG API did not fit well into the new provider concept as
- implemented by EVP_RAND and EVP_RAND_CTX. The main reason is that the
- RAND_DRBG API is a mixture of 'front end' and 'back end' API calls
- and some of its API calls are rather low-level. This holds in particular
- for the callback mechanism (RAND_DRBG_set_callbacks()).
-
- Adding a compatibility layer to continue supporting the RAND_DRBG API as
- a legacy API for a regular deprecation period turned out to come at the
- price of complicating the new provider API unnecessarily. Since the
- RAND_DRBG API exists only since version 1.1.1, it was decided by the OMC
- to drop it entirely.
-
*Paul Dale and Matthias St. Pierre*
- * Allow SSL_set1_host() and SSL_add1_host() to take IP literal addresses
+ * Allow `SSL_set1_host()` and `SSL_add1_host()` to take IP literal addresses
as well as actual hostnames.
*David Woodhouse*
and DTLS.
SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
- TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
+ `TLSv1_server_method()`) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
limits in configuration files in command-line options.
other libraries can use to form a separate context within which
libcrypto operations are performed.
- There are two ways this can be used:
-
- - Directly, by passing a library context to functions that take
- such an argument, such as `EVP_CIPHER_fetch` and similar algorithm
- fetching functions.
- - Indirectly, by creating a new library context and then assigning
- it as the new default, with `OSSL_LIB_CTX_set0_default`.
-
- All public OpenSSL functions that take an `OSSL_LIB_CTX` pointer,
- apart from the functions directly related to `OSSL_LIB_CTX`, accept
- NULL to indicate that the default library context should be used.
-
- Library code that changes the default library context using
- `OSSL_LIB_CTX_set0_default` should take care to restore it with a
- second call before returning to the caller.
-
- _(Note: the library context was initially called `OPENSSL_CTX` and
- renamed to `OSSL_LIB_CTX` in version 3.0.0 alpha7.)_
-
*Richard Levitte*
* Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
on renegotiation.
- *Tomas Mraz*
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
- * Dropped interactive mode from the 'openssl' program. From now on,
- the `openssl` command without arguments is equivalent to `openssl
- help`.
+ * Dropped interactive mode from the `openssl` program.
*Richard Levitte*
- * Renamed EVP_PKEY_cmp() to EVP_PKEY_eq() and
- EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() to EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq().
- While the old function names have been retained for backward compatibility
- they should not be used in new developments
- because their return values are confusing: Unlike other `_cmp()` functions
- they do not return 0 in case their arguments are equal.
+ * Deprecated `EVP_PKEY_cmp()` and `EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters()`.
- *David von Oheimb*
+ *David von Oheimb and Shane Lontis*
- * Deprecated EC_METHOD_get_field_type(). Applications should switch to
- EC_GROUP_get_field_type().
+ * Deprecated `EC_METHOD_get_field_type()`.
*Billy Bob Brumley*
* Deprecated EC_GFp_simple_method(), EC_GFp_mont_method(),
EC_GF2m_simple_method(), EC_GFp_nist_method(), EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
EC_GFp_nistp256_method(), and EC_GFp_nistp521_method().
- Applications should rely on the library automatically assigning a suitable
- EC_METHOD internally upon EC_GROUP construction.
*Billy Bob Brumley*
* Deprecated EC_GROUP_new(), EC_GROUP_method_of(), and EC_POINT_method_of().
- EC_METHOD is now an internal-only concept and a suitable EC_METHOD is
- assigned internally without application intervention.
- Users of EC_GROUP_new() should switch to a different suitable constructor.
*Billy Bob Brumley*
*Antonio Iacono*
- * Deprecated EC_POINT_make_affine() and EC_POINTs_make_affine(). These
- functions are not widely used and now OpenSSL automatically perform this
- conversion when needed.
+ * Added the AuthEnvelopedData content type structure (RFC 5083) with AES-GCM
+ parameter (RFC 5084) for the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).
+
+ *Jakub Zelenka*
+
+ * Deprecated EC_POINT_make_affine() and EC_POINTs_make_affine().
*Billy Bob Brumley*
* Deprecated EC_GROUP_precompute_mult(), EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult(), and
- EC_KEY_precompute_mult(). These functions are not widely used and
- applications should instead switch to named curves which OpenSSL has
- hardcoded lookup tables for.
+ EC_KEY_precompute_mult().
*Billy Bob Brumley*
- * Deprecated EC_POINTs_mul(). This function is not widely used and applications
- should instead use the L<EC_POINT_mul(3)> function.
+ * Deprecated EC_POINTs_mul().
*Billy Bob Brumley*
- * Removed FIPS_mode() and FIPS_mode_set(). These functions are legacy API's
- that are not applicable to the new provider model. Applications should
- instead use EVP_default_properties_is_fips_enabled() and
- EVP_default_properties_enable_fips().
+ * Removed FIPS_mode() and FIPS_mode_set().
*Shane Lontis*
- * The SSL option SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF is introduced. If that option
- is set, an unexpected EOF is ignored, it pretends a close notify was received
- instead and so the returned error becomes SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN.
+ * The SSL option SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF is introduced.
*Dmitry Belyavskiy*
* Deprecated EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() and
- EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp(). These functions are not widely
- used and applications should instead use the
- L<EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates(3)> and
- L<EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates(3)> functions.
+ EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp().
*Billy Bob Brumley*
*Paul Dale*
* The security strength of SHA1 and MD5 based signatures in TLS has been
- reduced. This results in SSL 3, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0 no longer
- working at the default security level of 1 and instead requires security
- level 0. The security level can be changed either using the cipher string
- with @SECLEVEL, or calling SSL_CTX_set_security_level().
+ reduced.
*Kurt Roeckx*
- * EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH(), and
- EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY() can now handle EVP_PKEYs with provider side
- internal keys, if they correspond to one of those built in types.
-
- *Richard Levitte*
-
* Added EVP_PKEY_set_type_by_keymgmt(), to initialise an EVP_PKEY to
contain a provider side internal key.
*Richard Levitte*
* ASN1_verify(), ASN1_digest() and ASN1_sign() have been deprecated.
- They are old functions that we don't use, and that you could disable with
- the macro NO_ASN1_OLD. This goes all the way back to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
*Richard Levitte*
*Richard Levitte*
* Added an implementation of CMP and CRMF (RFC 4210, RFC 4211 RFC 6712).
- This adds crypto/cmp/, crpyto/crmf/, apps/cmp.c, and test/cmp_*.
+ This adds `crypto/cmp/`, `crpyto/crmf/`, `apps/cmp.c`, and `test/cmp_*`.
See L<openssl-cmp(1)> and L<OSSL_CMP_exec_IR_ses(3)> as starting points.
*David von Oheimb, Martin Peylo*
- * Generalized the HTTP client code from crypto/ocsp/ into crpyto/http/.
- The legacy OCSP-focused and only partly documented API is retained.
- See L<OSSL_CMP_MSG_http_perform(3)> etc. for details.
+ * Generalized the HTTP client code from `crypto/ocsp/` into `crpyto/http/`.
+ It supports arbitrary request and response content types, GET redirection,
+ TLS, connections via HTTP(S) proxies, connections and exchange via
+ user-defined BIOs (allowing implicit connections), persistent connections,
+ and timeout checks. See L<OSSL_HTTP_transfer(3)> etc. for details.
+ The legacy OCSP-focused (and only partly documented) API
+ is retained for backward compatibility, while most of it is deprecated.
*David von Oheimb*
*David von Oheimb*
- * BIO_do_connect and BIO_do_handshake have been extended:
+ * `BIO_do_connect()` and `BIO_do_handshake()` have been extended:
If domain name resolution yields multiple IP addresses all of them are tried
- after connect() failures.
+ after `connect()` failures.
*David von Oheimb*
- * All of the low level RSA functions have been deprecated including:
-
- RSA_new_method, RSA_size, RSA_security_bits, RSA_get0_pss_params,
- RSA_get_version, RSA_get0_engine, RSA_generate_key_ex,
- RSA_generate_multi_prime_key, RSA_X931_derive_ex, RSA_X931_generate_key_ex,
- RSA_check_key, RSA_check_key_ex, RSA_public_encrypt, RSA_private_encrypt,
- RSA_public_decrypt, RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_set_default_method,
- RSA_get_default_method, RSA_null_method, RSA_get_method, RSA_set_method,
- RSA_PKCS1_OpenSSL, RSA_print_fp, RSA_print, RSA_sign, RSA_verify,
- RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING, RSA_verify_ASN1_OCTET_STRING, RSA_blinding_on,

+ for checks that the certificate is a valid CA. All of the named "purpose"
+ values implemented in libcrypto perform this check. Therefore, where
+ a purpose is set the certificate chain will still be rejected even when the
+ strict flag has been used. A purpose is set by default in libssl client and
+ server certificate verification routines, but it can be overridden or
+ removed by an application.
+
+ In order to be affected, an application must explicitly set the
+ X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT verification flag and either not set a purpose
+ for the certificate verification or, in the case of TLS client or server
+ applications, override the default purpose.

+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Fixed an issue where an OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a maliciously
+ crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a client. If a TLSv1.2
+ renegotiation ClientHello omits the signature_algorithms extension (where it
+ was present in the initial ClientHello), but includes a
+ signature_algorithms_cert extension then a NULL pointer dereference will
+ result, leading to a crash and a denial of service attack.
+
+ A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation enabled
+ (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients are not impacted by
+ this issue.

+
+ * Fixed the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function. It attempts to
+ create a unique hash value based on the issuer and serial number data
+ contained within an X509 certificate. However it was failing to correctly
+ handle any errors that may occur while parsing the issuer field (which might
+ occur if the issuer field is maliciously constructed). This may subsequently

+
+ * Fixed the RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() function and the RSA_SSLV23_PADDING

+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ Fixed the EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and EVP_DecryptUpdate
+ functions. Previously they could overflow the output length argument in some
+ cases where the input length is close to the maximum permissable length for
+ an integer on the platform. In such cases the return value from the function
+ call would be 1 (indicating success), but the output length value would be
+ negative. This could cause applications to behave incorrectly or crash.
+ ([CVE-2021-23840])
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Fixed SRP_Calc_client_key so that it runs in constant time. The previous
+ implementation called BN_mod_exp without setting BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. This
+ could be exploited in a side channel attack to recover the password. Since
+ the attack is local host only this is outside of the current OpenSSL
+ threat model and therefore no CVE is assigned.
