OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.8k and 1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
+ should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
+ multi-process servers.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
+ a few changes are required:
+
+ Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
+ Add TLSv1_1 methods.
+ Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
+ Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
+ Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Experiemental password based recipient info support for CMS library:
+ implementing RFC3211.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
+ neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
+ for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
+ password based CMS).
+ [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]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8m (?) and 1.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
+ output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
+ [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
+
+ *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
+ compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
+ it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
+ change when encrypting or decrypting.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) 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]
+
+ *) 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]
+
+ *) Disable MD2 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]
+
+ *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
+ renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
+ done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
+ [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++.
*) 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]
+
+ *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
+ BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
+ the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
+ trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
+ of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
+ This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
+ highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
+ off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
+ ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
+ call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
+ restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
+ This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
+ has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
+ CVE-2009-4355.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
+ connect (but not renegotiate) with servers which do not support RI.
+ Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
+ a no_renegotiation alert as required by draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation.
+ Some renegotiating TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully
+ when they receive the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled
+ this alert and would hang waiting for a server hello which it will never
+ receive. Now we treat a received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal
+ error. This is because applications requesting a renegotiation might well
+ expect it to succeed and would have no code in place to handle the server
+ denying it so the only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
+ peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
+ renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
+ the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation-03. 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>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) 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]
+
+ *) 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. For binary compatibility reasons
+ the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
+ and restored.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
+ OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
+ clash.
+ [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
+
+ *) 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. (CVE-2009-1378)
+ [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.
+ (CVE-2009-1377)
+ [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. (CVE-2009-1379)
+ [Daniel Mentz]
*) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
[Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
*) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
[Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
+ Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
+
+ *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
+ problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
+ renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
+ SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
+ run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
+ you're doing.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
*) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
*) Support NumericString type for name components.
[Steve Henson]
-
+
*) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
chosen compiler.

Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
*) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
+ *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
+ ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
+ [PR #1679]
+
*) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
(was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).

differing sizes.
[Richard Levitte]
- Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
-
- *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
- context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
- external cache for different purposes). Previously,
- out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
- set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
- with applications using a single external cache for quite
- different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
- restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
- in a different context.

Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
*) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
