Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
+ *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
+ to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
+ was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
+ <support@securenetterm.com>]
+
+ *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
+ routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
+ Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
+ ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+ *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
+ OpenSSL_add_all_digests()), to SSL_library_init()
+ aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
+ compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
+ with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) ./config script fixes.
+ [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
+ Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
+ effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
+ is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
+ and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
+ V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
+ <support@securenetterm.com>]
+
+ *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
+ result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
+ not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
+ and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
+ to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
+ where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
+ convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
+ OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
+ OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
+ to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
+ printout format cleaned up.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
+ in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
+ certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
+ or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
+ OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
+ usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
+ signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
+ in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
+ and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
+ verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
+ to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
+ performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
+ if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
+ a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
+ chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
+ extensions from a separate configuration file.
+ As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
+ the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
+ section to use.
+ [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
+
+ *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
+ terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
+ parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
+ by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
+ [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
+
+ *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
+ read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
+ parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
+ still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
*) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
the given serial number (according to the index file).
[Lutz Jaenicke]
*) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
- random devices and only read data for a small fragment of time
- to avoid hangs. Also separate out the Unix variant to it's own
- file, rand_unix.c. For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
+ random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
+ of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
+ (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
+ defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
+ (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
+ platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
+ Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
+ For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
