Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
+ cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
+ aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
+ [Patrick Steuer]
+
+ *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
+ parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
+ pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
+ step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
+ differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
+ from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
+ against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
+ and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
+ to work in projective coordinates.
+ [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
+
+ *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
+ being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
+ For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
+ The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
+ to 2^-128.
+ [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
+
+ *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
+ moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
+ done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
+ symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
+ length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
+ step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
+ differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
+ coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
+ [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
+
+ *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
+ for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
+ EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
+ advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
+ differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
+ [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
+
+ *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
+ file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
+ This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
+ the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
+ controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
+ [Paul Dale]
+
+ *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
+ performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
+ security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
+ authors.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
+ handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
+ different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
+ mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
+ doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
+ multi-version installation is managed.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
+ EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
+ mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
+ When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
+ EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
+ [Billy Bob Brumley]
+
+ *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
+ coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
+ chosen point SCA attacks.
+ [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
+
+ *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
+ attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
+ length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
+ a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
+ I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
+ can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
+ Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
+ TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
+ around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
+ It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
+ SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
+ SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
+ now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
+ pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
+ [Billy Bob Brumley]
+
+ *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
+ binary and prime elliptic curves.
+ [Billy Bob Brumley]
+
+ *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
+ constant time fixed point multiplication.
+ [Billy Bob Brumley]
+
+ *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
+ defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
+ when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
+ in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
+ ECDH derive operations).
+ [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
+ Sohaib ul Hassan]
+
+ *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
+ randomness from the system.
+ [Matthias St. Pierre]
+
+ *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
+ loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
+ [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
+ SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
+ SSL_set_ciphersuites()
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Memory allocation failures consistenly add an error to the error
+ stack.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
+ in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
+ [Bernd Edlinger]
+
+ *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
*) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
[Matthias St. Pierre]
below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
- configuraton has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
+ configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
[Matt Caswell]
Some of its new features are:
o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
- o Add a public DRBG instance for the default RAND method.
- o Add a dedicated DRBG instance for generating long term private keys.
- o Make the DRBG instances fork-safe.
+ o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
+ o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
+ o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
- o Add a DRBG instance to every SSL instance for lock free operation
- and to increase unpredictability.
+ o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
+ operation

Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
+
+ During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
+ malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
+ cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
+ key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
+ could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
+ (CVE-2018-0732)
+ [Guido Vranken]
+
+ *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
+
+ The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
+ a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
+ mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
+ recover the private key.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
+ Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
+ (CVE-2018-0737)
+ [Billy Brumley]

+
+ *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
+ compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
+ are no longer allowed.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
