Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) New testing framework
+ The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
+ perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
+ Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
+ test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
+ executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
+ simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
+
+ For documentation on our testing modules, do:
+
+ perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
+ perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
+
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
+ return an error
+ [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
+
+ *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
+ from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
+
+ Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
+ original RSA_PSK patch.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
+ era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
+ SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
+ SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
+ to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
+ not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
+ hasn't been working properly for a while.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
+ the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
+ changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
+ long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
+ transferred.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
+ OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
+ the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
+ not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
+ EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
+ were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
+ 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
+ introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
+ ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
+ SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
+ and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
+ TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
+ should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
+ header file has been removed.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
+ code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
+ output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
+ be noticeable when interacting with other software.
+
+ *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
+ draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
+ initial patch which was a great help during development.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
+ files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
+ now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
+ directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
+ Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
+ "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
+ functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
+ will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
+ in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
+ compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
+ at https://www.openssl.org/docs/misc/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
+ for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
+ compatible client hello.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
+ done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
+ [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
+
+ *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Removed old DES API.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
+ Sony NEWS4
+ BEOS and BEOS_R5
+ NeXT
+ SUNOS
+ MPE/iX
+ Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
+ DGUX
+ NCR
+ Tandem
+ Cray

+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
+ Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
+ Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
+ OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
+ OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
+ OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
+ Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
+ OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
+ OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
+ OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
+ Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Cleaned up dead code
+ Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
+ Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
+ NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
+ Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
+ Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
*) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.

*) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected

[Steve Henson]
- Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
- *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
- ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
- the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
- reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
- announced in the initial ServerHello.
+ *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
- Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
- was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
- ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
- [Emilia Käsper]
+ During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
+ alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
+ fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
+ attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
+ bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
+ certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
+ (Google/BoringSSL).
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
+
+ *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
+ incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
+ restored.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
+
+ *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
+
+ When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
+ if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
+ field.
+
+ This can be used to perform denial of service against any
+ system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
+ certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
+ client authentication enabled.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
+ (CVE-2015-1788)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
+
+ X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
+ string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
+ X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
+ time string.
+
+ An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
+ various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
+ a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
+ that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
+ authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
+ callbacks.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
+ independently by Hanno Böck.
+ (CVE-2015-1789)
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
+
+ The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
+ correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
+ with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
+
+ Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
+ structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
+ servers are not affected.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
+ (CVE-2015-1790)
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
+
+ When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
+ if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
+ denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
+ the CMS code.
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
+ (CVE-2015-1792)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
+
+ If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
+ reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
+ a double free of the ticket data.
+ (CVE-2015-1791)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
+ 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
+ curves, prefer P-256 (both).
+ [Emilia Kasper]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
+
+ *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
+
+ If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
+ invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
+ occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
+
+ This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
+ University.
+ (CVE-2015-0291)
+ [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
+
+ OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
+ feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
+ NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
+ OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
+ using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
+ socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
+ However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
+ fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
+ (CVE-2015-0290)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
+
+ The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
+ initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
+ over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
+ an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
+ that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
+ that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
+ ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
+ that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
+ server.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
+ (CVE-2015-0207)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
+
+ The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
+ made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
+ certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
+ certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
+ application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
+ OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
+ (CVE-2015-0286)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
+
+ The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
+ dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
+ algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
+ certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
+ certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
+ application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
+ OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
+
+ This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
+ (CVE-2015-0208)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
+
+ Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
+ memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
+ strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
+
+ Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
+ components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
+ functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
+ not affected.
+ (CVE-2015-0287)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
+
+ The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
+ correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
+ missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
+
+ Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
+ otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
+ affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
+ (CVE-2015-0289)
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
+
+ A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
+ servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
+ a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
+
+ This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
+ (OpenSSL development team).
+ (CVE-2015-0293)
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
+
+ If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
+ ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
+ being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
+ (CVE-2015-1787)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
+
+ Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
+ with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
+ - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
+ automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
+ - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
+ SSL_client_methodv23)
+ - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
+ the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
+
+ If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
+ have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
+ output may be predictable.
+
+ For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
+ succeed on an unpatched platform:
+
+ openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
+ (CVE-2015-0285)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
+
+ A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
+ could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
+ free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
+ or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
+ for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
+ sources. This scenario is considered rare.
+
+ This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
+ commit 517073cd4b.
+ (CVE-2015-0209)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
+
+ The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
+ the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
+
+ This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
+ (CVE-2015-0288)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
+
+ *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
+ ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
+ So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
+ and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
+ ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
+ near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
*) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
(other platforms pending).
X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.

+
+ *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
+ message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
+ dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
+ Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
+ (CVE-2014-3571)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
+ dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
+ could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
+ sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
+ by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
+ Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
+ (CVE-2015-0206)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
+ built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
+ method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
+ dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.

+ (CVE-2014-3572)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
+ violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
+ non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
+ downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
+ certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
+ INRIA or reporting this issue.
+ (CVE-2015-0204)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
+ An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
+ without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
+ authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
+ which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
+ containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
+ Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
+ this issue.

+
+ *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
+ SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
+
+ The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
+ and can vary with the CTX.
+ [Adam Langley]
+
+ *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
+
+ By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
+ certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
+ Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
+ this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
+ certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
+
+ 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
+
+ If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
+ the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
+
+ 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
+
+ Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
+ certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
+ errors for some broken certificates.
+
+ Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
+
+ 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
+
+ Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
+ signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
+
+ This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
+ (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
+ program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
+ (negative or with leading zeroes).
+
+ Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
+ of the OpenSSL core team.

+ with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
+ way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
+ Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
