- Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
+ the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
+ Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
+ Details of this attack can be obtained from:
+ http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
+ [Paul Dale]
+
+ *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
+ versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
+ well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
+ list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
+
+ *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
+ the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
+ earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
+ been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
+ callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
+ of the ClientHello
+ [Benjamin Kaduk]
+
+ *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
+ [Jack Lloyd]
+
+ *) 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]
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]
*) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
- https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/02/08/tlsv1.3/
-
- NOTE: In this pre-release of OpenSSL a draft version of the
- TLSv1.3 standard has been implemented. Implementations of different draft
- versions of the standard do not inter-operate, and this version will not
- inter-operate with an implementation of the final standard when it is
- eventually published. Different pre-release versions may implement
- different versions of the draft. The final version of OpenSSL 1.1.1 will
- implement the final version of the standard.
- TODO(TLS1.3): Remove the above note before final release
+ https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
[Matt Caswell]
*) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
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

*) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
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]

+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition

+ compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
+ are no longer allowed.
