+

+ 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
+ KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
+ 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.

+
+ *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
+ to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
+ Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
+ PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
+ one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
+ 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
+ to traverse all of 'state'.
+
+ 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
+ during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
+ 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
+
+ 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
+ independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
+
+ The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
+ Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
+ to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
+ half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
+ assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
+ measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
+ mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
+ further strengthens the PRNG.

+ [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
+
+ *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
+ RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
+ when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
+ hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
+ SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
+ means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
+ around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
+ paper.)
+
+ Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
+ random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
+ ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
+ detect the supposedly ignored error.

+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
+ variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
+
+ const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
+
+ wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
+ declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
+ EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
+ needed for static libraries under Win32.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
+ setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
+ purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
+ structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
+ initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
+ X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
+ purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
+ internally such as S/MIME.
+
+ Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
+ trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
+ purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
+
+ Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
+ applications.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
+ are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
+ its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
+ in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
+
+ Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
+
+ Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
+
+ This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
+ CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
+ by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
+ handling.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
+ to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
+ compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
+ The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
+ section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
+ a window system and the like.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
+ parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the

+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
+ in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
+ RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
+ caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
+ Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
+ DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
+ For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
+ environment variables.
+
+ +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
+ per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
+ ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
+ This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
+ analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
+ operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
+ fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
+ this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
+ structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
+ by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
+ ENGINE structure.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
+ needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
+ tag cache.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
+ - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
+ about an ENGINE's available control commands.
+ - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
+ '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
+ specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
+ the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
+ openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
+ declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
+ and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
+ subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
+ depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
+ the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
+ can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
+ that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
+ result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
+ discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
+ ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
+ pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
+ support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
+ unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
+ OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
+ existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
+ control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
+ ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
+ necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
+ this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
+ internal engine_int.h header.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
+ 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
+ should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
+ modify their own ones).
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
+ - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
+ to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
+ rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
+ later on via ctrl() commands.
+ - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
+ - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
+ structural references.
+ - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
+ - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
+ missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
+ all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
+ - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
+ or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
+ value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
+ and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
+ - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
+ flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
+ - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
+ ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
+ CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
+ having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
+ combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
+ Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
+ flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
+ the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
+ that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
+ to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
+ used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
+ only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
+ roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
+ up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
+ appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
+ for moduli up to 2048 bits.

+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated

+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
+
+ EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr

+
+ [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling

+
+ +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,

+
+ Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
+ based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
+
+ Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
+
+ Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary

+
+ +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
+ change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"

+ might.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
+
+ Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
+ (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
+
+ ASN1 error codes
+ ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
+ ...
+ ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
+ were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
+ ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
+ ...
+ ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
+ They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
+
+ Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
+ suffices.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
+ sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
+ subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
+ 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
+ and
+ 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
+
+ Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
+ [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
+
+ *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
+ functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
+ global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
+ one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
+ "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
+ is normally done by Configure or something similar).
+
+ To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
+ in the source file (foo.c) like this:
+
+ OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
+ OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
+
+ To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
+ and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
+
+ OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
+ #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
+ OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
+ #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
+
+ The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
+ header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
+
+ The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
+ of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
+
+ The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
+ better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
+ go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
+ cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
+ lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
+ X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
+ [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
+
+ +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
+ result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
+ and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
+ problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
+ OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
+ certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
+ trust settings.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
+ responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
+ be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
+ between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
+ caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
+ we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
+ the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
+ checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
+ ocsp utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
+ OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
+ X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
+ PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
+ OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
+ ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
+ passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
+ ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
+ instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
+ new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
+ be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
+ references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
+ macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
+ use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
+ is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
+ functions returning pointers to structures is not.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
+ These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
+ The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
+ the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
+ can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
+ command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
+ to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
+ [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
+ of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
+ '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
+ the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
+ New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
+ [Ulf Moeller]
+
+ +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
+ sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
+ with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
+ sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
+ opensslconf.h.
+ Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
+ specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
+ are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
+ macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
+ from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
+ what is available.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
+ number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
+ signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
+ CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
+ auto incremented.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
+ due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
+
+ 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
+
+ 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
+
+ 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
+ nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
+ inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
+ assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
+ Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
+ supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
+ disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
+ API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
+ not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
+ of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
+ [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
+ "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+ +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
+ port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
+ option to ocsp utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
+ reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
+ whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
+ in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
+ just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
+ this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
+ the request is nonce-less.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
+ was empty.
+ [Steve Henson]
+ [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
+
+ *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
+ copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
+ but the code is actually correct.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
+ skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
+ e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
+ set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
+ utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
+ the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
+ Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
+ Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
+ (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
+ to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
+ appear to exist.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
+ additional certificates supplied.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
+ OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
+ signature against.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
+ Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
+ Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
+ to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
+ and leaves the highest bit random.
+ [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
+ handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
+ AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
+ for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
+ [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
+ (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
+ a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
+ (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
+ Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
+ CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
+ return NULL from CONF_get_section.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
+ [Ulf Moeller]
+
+ +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
+ request to response.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
+ OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
+ extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
+ creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
+ OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
+ response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
+ extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
+ certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
+ response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
+ (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
+ (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
+ in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
+ structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
+ contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
+ keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
+ is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
+ some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
+ sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
+ headers.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
+ [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
+
+ +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
+ passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
+ response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
+ macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
+ and break the signature.
+ [Steve Henson]
+ [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
+
+ *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
+ DH ciphersuites.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
+ to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
+ was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
+ <support@securenetterm.com>]
+
+ +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
+ routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
+ Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
+ OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
+ aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
+ compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
+ with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
+ ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+ *) ./config script fixes.
+ [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
+ Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
+ effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
+ is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
+ and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
+ V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
+ <support@securenetterm.com>]
+
+ +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
