OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [xx XXX xxxx]
+ This is a high-level summary of the most important changes.
+ For a full list of changes, see the git commit log; for example,
+ https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commits/ and pick the appropriate
+ release branch.
+
+ Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
+
+ Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
+ through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
+ signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
+ line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
+ at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
+ some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
+ and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
+ could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
+ OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
+ signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
+ OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
+ and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
+ the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).

+ Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
+
+ *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
+
+ Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
+ in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
+ excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
+ are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
+ so this is considered safe.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
+ project.
+ (CVE-2018-0739)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
+
+ Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
+ effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
+ byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
+ authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
+ security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
+ HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
+ (IBM).
+ (CVE-2018-0733)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
+ and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
+ things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
+ to that system and do the rest of the build there.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
+
+ OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
+ (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
+ changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
+ SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
+ 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
+
+ Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
+ using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
+ accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
+ exist.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
+
+ There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
+ used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
+ Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
+ defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
+ Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
+ work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
+ offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
+ significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
+ would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
+ no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
+
+ This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
+ like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
+ was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
+ (CVE-2017-3738)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
+
+ *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
+
+ There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
+ procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
+ against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
+ perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
+ feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
+ deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
+ of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
+ likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
+ additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
+ private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
+ key that is shared between multiple clients.
+
+ This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
+ like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
+ (CVE-2017-3736)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
+
+ If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
+ OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
+ would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
+ (CVE-2017-3735)
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
+ with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
+ [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
+
+ *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
- *)
+ Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
*) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
platform rather than 'mingw'.
to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
- that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed conneciton in a timely
+ that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
*) Add X25519 support.
Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
- draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The coresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
+ draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
key generation and key derivation.
TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
