OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [xx XXX 1999]
+ Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000]
+
+ *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
+ work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
+ func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
+ added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
+ collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
+ a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
+ DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
+ this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
+ use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
+ then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
+ mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
+ if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
+ the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
+ and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
+ key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
+ used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
+ MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
+ new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
+ as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
+ 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
+ an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
+ Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
+ algorithm to openssl-dev.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
+ invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
+ Corrected to 'c.kname'.
+ [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
+
+ *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
+ a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
+ in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
+ omit any duplicate addresses.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
+ This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
+ (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
+ plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
+ This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
+ exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
+ software:
+ Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
+ Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
+ Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
+ Free => OPENSSL_free
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
+ faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) CygWin32 support.
+ [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
+
+ *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
+ in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
+ by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
+ standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
+ but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
+ approach.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
+ that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
+ also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
+ map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
+ This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
+ lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
+ be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
+ by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
+ (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
+ where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
+ is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
+ well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
+ chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
+ of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
+ all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
+ in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
+ on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
+ the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
+ otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
+ can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
+ Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
+ parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
+ key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
+ setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
+
+ Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
+ ciphers.
+
+ Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
+ cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
+ cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
+ for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
+
+ New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
+
+ Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
+ of macros.
+
+ By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
+ all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
+ differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
+ flags.
+
+ Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
+ value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
+ any installed hardware versions can.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
+ this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
+ protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
+ number.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
+ i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
+ Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
+ rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
+
+ *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
+ key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
+ and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
+ with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
+ Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
+ features.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
+ rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
+ but no ssl client purpose.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
+
+ *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
+ is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
+ Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
+ double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
+ double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
+ handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
+ treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
+ password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
+ the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
+ the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
+ it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
+ perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
+ be obtained from the error queue.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
+ it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
+ accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
+ thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
+ RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
+ Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
+ or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
+ RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
+ that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
+ that are sufficiently small and have no path information
+ into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
+ "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
+ ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
+ including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
+ may not be NULL.
+ [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
+ configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
+ new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
+ old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
+ work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
+ to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
+ provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
+ reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
+ configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
+ or "the configuration storage API"...
+
+ The new configuration file reading functions are:
+
+ NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
+ NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
+
+ NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
+
+ NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
+
+ NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
+ NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
+ as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
+ NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
+ which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
+ arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
+ first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
+
+ To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
+ the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
+ mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
+ (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
+ experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
+ OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
+ them in a portable way.
+ [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
+
+ *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
+
+ *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
+ (the default implementation of RAND_status).
+
+ *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
+ to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
+ [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
+ <attili@amaxo.com>]
+
+ *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
+ was larger than the MD block size.
+ [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
+
+ *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
+ fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
+ using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
+ of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
+ components.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
+ [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
+ the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
+
+ *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
+ discouraged.
+ [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
+
+ *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
+ 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
+ returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
+ 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
+ the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
+ Additional arguments are always ignored.
+
+ Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
+ the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
+
+ ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
+ as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
+ is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
+ its own key.
+ ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
+ to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
+ 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
+ you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
+ 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
+ This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
+ does not suppress any output.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
+ purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
+ accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
+ with all the associated security issues.
+
+ X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
+ automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
+ new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
+ a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
+ use the value in the default purpose.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
+ and fix a memory leak.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
+ reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
+ the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
+ automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
+ using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
+ library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
+ case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
+ converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
+ DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
+ by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
+ so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
+ which was free.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
+ instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
+ it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
+ RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
+ number generation fails.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
+ [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
+
+ *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
+ [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
+
+ *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
+ [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
+
+ *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
+ were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
+ [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
+
+ *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
+ case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
+ assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
+ to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
+ scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
+ is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
+ [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
+
+ *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
+ almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
+ STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
+ for example.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
+ convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
+ and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
+ data structure without incrementing reference counters.
+ (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
+ counter, some don't.)
+ Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
+ counters or duplicate objects.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
+ the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
+ [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
+ pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
+
+ *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
+ RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
+ the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
+ or -rand.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
+ Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
+ list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
+ is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
+ cipher list.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
+ EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
+ EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
+ where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
+ Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
+ many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
+ called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
+ should work without changes.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
+ sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
+ compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
+ one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
+ must be defined. E.g.,
+ #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
+ #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
+ defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
+ [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
+
+ *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
+ record layer.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
+ X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
+ the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
+ argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
+ better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
+ request header lines. Some software needs this.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
+ obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
+ it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
+ usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
+ phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
+ is prompted for as usual.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
+ the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
+ autodetect the card and use it if present.
+ [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
+
+ *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
+ and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
+ SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
+ the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
+ of seed file.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
+ bits.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
+ equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
+ options to produce them.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
+ get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
+ for p == 0.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
+ include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
+ was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
+ SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
+ link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
+ and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
+ one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
+ a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
+ loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
+ [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
+
+ *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
+ use void * instead of char * in lhash.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
+ (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
+ this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
+ has already seen).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
+ using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
+
+ DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
+ iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
+ to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
+ As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
+ generation becomes much faster.
+
+ This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
+ and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
+ for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
+ occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
+ callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
+ loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
+ DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
+ function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
+ candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
+ from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
+ division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
+ an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
+ has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
+ 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
+ trial division stage.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
+ as ASN1_TIME.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
+ bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
+ SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
+ the comments.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
+ made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
+ SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
+ by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
+ to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
+ [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
+
+ *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
+ used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
+ BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
+ BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
+ Rabin-Miller iterations.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
+ DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
+ (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
+ "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
+ (instead of parameters) in future.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
+ when a new cipher list is set.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
+ ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
+ wrong.
+
+ The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
+ cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
+ The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
+
+ Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
+ string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
+ [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
+ an error is flagged.
+
+ Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
+ ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
+ the readability was also increased :-)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
+
+ *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
+ for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
+ avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
+ the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
+ as the root CA.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
+ the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
+ X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
+ structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
+ they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
+ instead.
+
+ So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
+ when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
+ PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
+ things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
+ because they handle more complex structures.)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
+ as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
+ NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
+ [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
+ has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
+ (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
+ error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
+ guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
+ RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
+ (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
+ 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
+ instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
+ in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
+ false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
+ in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
+ from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
+ the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
+ after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
+ to use this.
+
+ Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
+ code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
+ behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
+ -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
+ only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
+ unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
+ draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
+ international characters are used.
+
+ More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
+ based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
+ attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
+ in ASN1 order.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
+ automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
+ file containing all the field values and have req construct the
+ request.
+
+ Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
+ used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
+ structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
+ some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
+ manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
+ attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
+
+ Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
+ automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
+ more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
+ be handled by the string table functions.
+
+ Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
+ a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
+ can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
+ is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
+ (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
+ types at all.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
+ SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
+ Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
+ respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
+ actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
+
+ As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
+ (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
+ be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
+ provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
+ the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
+ $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
+ performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
+ a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
+ SHA1.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
+ SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
+ weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
+ with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
+ the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
+ a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
+ expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
+ is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
+
+ To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
+ hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
+ reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
+ if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
+ d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
+ format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
+ has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
+ support to pkcs8 application.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
+ ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
+ specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
+ is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
+ (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
+ behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
+ SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
+ concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
+ The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
+ so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
+ consistency.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
+ to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
+ some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
+ defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
+ example.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
+ two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
+ typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
+ and any application specific purposes.
+
+ The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
+ check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
+ be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
+ for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
+ in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
+ if the certificate is self signed.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
+ traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
+ a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
+ terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
+ environment or config files in a few more utilities.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
+ keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
+ to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
+ Update documentation.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
+ ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
+ and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
+ ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
+ don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
+ for details.
+ [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
+
+ *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
+ possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
+ provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
+ deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
+ pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
+ since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
+ the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
+ compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
+ OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
+ this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
+
+ With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
+
+ CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
+ CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
+ CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
+ CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
+ CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
+
+ The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
+ is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
+ wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
+ gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
+ CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
+ provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
+ debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
+ request additional information:
+ CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
+ the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
+
+ Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
+ expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
+ and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
+ options.
+
+ To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
+ way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
+
+ CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
+ CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
+ CRYPTO_dbg_free()
+
+ All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
+ [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
+ ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
+ was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
+ algorithm.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
+ ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
+ [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
+ S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
+ functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
+ called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
+ originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
+ included in OpenSSL.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
+ des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
+ decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
+ des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
+ the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
+ have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
+ PKCS12 structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
+ dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
+ table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
+ functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
+ application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
+ structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
+ need initialising.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
+ works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
+ extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
+ and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
+ crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
+ updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
+ in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
+ this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
+ be maintained manually.
+
+ There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
+ can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
+ X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
+ [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
+ work because people forget to call this function]
+ Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
+ so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
+ X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
+ magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
+ to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
+ should be discouraged from doing it.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
+ digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
+ parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
+ operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
+ -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
+ DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
+ certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
+ when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
+
+ There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
+ this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
+ every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
+
+ Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
+ settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
+ if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
+ trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
+ permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
+ certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
+
+ Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
+ which should be used for version portability: especially since the
+ verify structure is likely to change more often now.
+
+ SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
+ to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
+ and vice versa.
+
+ Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
+ untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
+ intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
+ new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for the authority information access extension.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
+ PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
+ public keys in a format compatible with certificate
+ SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
+ functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
+ these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
+ never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
+ utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
+ keys so we should be OK.
+
+ The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
+ that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
+ formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
+ require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
+ even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
+ other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
+ stay in the name of compatibility.
+
+ With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
+ is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
+ it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
+
+ Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
+ Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
+ (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
+ EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
+ that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
+ reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
+ supplied key).
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
+ CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
+ added a new function to read in both types and return the number
+ read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
+ DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
+ because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
+ without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
+ a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
+ in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
+ attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
+ any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
+ to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
+ routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
+ so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
+ for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
+ has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
+ certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
+ in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
+ single self signed certificate. This means that:
+ openssl verify ss.pem
+ now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
+ openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
+ is OK.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
+ (and add it to external session representation).
+ This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
+ but an application-provided verification callback (set by
+ SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
+ anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
+ but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
+ ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
+ security holes.
+ [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
+ case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
+ didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
+ [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
+ forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
+ -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
+ to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
+ hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
+ code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
+ the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
+ [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
+
+ *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
+ Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
+ certificate auxiliary information.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
+ the 'enc' command.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
+ detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
+ allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
+ the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
+ stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
+ is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
+ Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
+ encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
+ to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
+ OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
+ manpages and fix a few bugs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
+ leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
+ This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
+ functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
+ can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
+ will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
+ doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
+ retained: existing certificates can have this information added
+ using the new 'x509' options.
+
+ Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
+ settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
+ certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
+ can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
+ for all purposes.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
+ The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
+ since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
+ with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
+ performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
+ [Mark Cox]
+
+ *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
+ handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
+ the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
+ A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
+ to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
+ the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
+ be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
+ by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
+ EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
+ the key length and effective key length are equal.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
+ X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
+ X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
+ and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
+ the structures. The more adventurous can try:
+ X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
+ and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte

*) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
- - Detect fork() and assure unique random states.
+ - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
- Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
ca,

s_client,
s_server,
x509 (when signing).
for RSA signatures we could do without one.
