Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000]
+ *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
+ The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
+ random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
+ environment variable, or the default random state file.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
+ Previously the output order depended on the order the files
+ appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
+ of safestack.h .
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) 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
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_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_default, NCONF_WIN32
- NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
+ 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
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]
+ 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
