OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.8k and 1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8l and 1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
+ to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
+ some responders need this.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
+ return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
+ BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
+ can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
+ RAND_METHOD structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
+ a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
+ is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
+ whose return value is often ignored.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
+ correctly.
+ [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
+
+ *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
+ needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
+ didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
+ several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
+ several cryptographic weaknesses. The algorithm is also disabled in
+ the default configuration.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
+ indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
+ to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
+ of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
+ it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
+ when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
+ included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
+ or they could free up already freed BIOs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
+ OPENSSL_asc2uni the original names were too generic and cause name
+ clashes on Netware.
+ [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
+
+ *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
+ [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
+
+ *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
+ be used on C++.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
*) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.

- Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Implement
+ https://svn.resiprocate.org/rep/ietf-drafts/ekr/draft-rescorla-tls-renegotiate.txt. Re-enable
+ renegotiation but require the extension as needed. Unfortunately,
+ SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION turns out to be a
+ bad idea. It has been replaced by
+ SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
+ SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
+ know what you are doing.
+ [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com> and Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
+ issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
+ servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
+ stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
+ a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
+ (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
+ the handshake.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
+ CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
+ fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
+ correctly.
+ [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
+
+ *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
+ warnings in other configurations.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
+ makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
+ have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
+ systems need.
+ [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
+
+ *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
+ X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
+
+ *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
+ and restored.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
+ it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
+ other than a simple chain.
+ [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
+ by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
+ adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
+ with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
+ is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
+ allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
+ with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
+ left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
+ sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
+ So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
+ buffered.
+ [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
+
+ *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
+ processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
+ currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
+ a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
+ memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
+ the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
+ [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
+
+ *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
+ parent structure is freed.
+ [Daniel Mentz]
*) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
