Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
- *)
+ *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
+ or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
+ prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
+ sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
+ [Matt Caswell]
*) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
using the algorithm defined in
https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt

+ Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
+ as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.

+ Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
+
+ *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
+
+ The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
+ message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
+ store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
+ dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
+ write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
+ crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
+
+ This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
+ (CVE-2016-6309)

Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
*) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
descrip.mms.tmpl.
+ With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
+ and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
+ on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
+ cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
+ libraries" in INSTALL.
+
We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
