OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8k and 1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) 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++.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
+ retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
+ EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
+ or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
+ registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
+ attempting to work them out.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
+ this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
+ string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
+ by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
+ key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
+ don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
+ Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
+ then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
+ commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
+ you can do:
+
+ openssl sha256 foo
+
+ as well as:
+
+ openssl dgst -sha256 foo
+
+ and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
+
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
+ [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
+
+ *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
+ [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
+ form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
+ even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
+ is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
+ be used to rebuild symbolic links.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
+ traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
+ include an implicit MD5 dependency.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
+ committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
+ [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
+
+ *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
+ in an ENGINE errors can occur.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
+ by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
+ OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
+ CONF_VALUE.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
+ seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
+ specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
+ as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
+ and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
+ X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
*) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
[NTT]
- Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert():
+ 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.
+ [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.
+ [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.
+ [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 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
+
+ *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
+ underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
+ zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
+ [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
+
+ *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
+ checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
+ appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
+ [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
+
+ *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
+ prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
+ a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
+ unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
+ level.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
+ to handle some structures.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
+ for a '\n'
+ [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
+
+ *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
+ [Matthieu Herrb]
+
+ *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) 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.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
+
+ *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
+ (CVE-2008-5077).
+ [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
+
+ *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
+ multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
+ obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
+ [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
+
+ *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
+ [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
+
+ *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
+ JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
+ s_client and s_server.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
+ [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
+
+ *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
+ [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
+
+ *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
+ to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
+ server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
+ applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
+ just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
+
+ *) 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_...).
+ [Nagendra Modadugu]
+
+ *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
+ double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
+ addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
+ doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
+
+ So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
+ in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
+
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
*) Various precautionary measures:
[Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
+ *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
+ the load fails. Useful for distros.
+ [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
+
*) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
[Steve Henson]
This work was sponsored by Logica.
[Steve Henson]
+ *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
+ ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
+ attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
+ files.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
*) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
invalid read after the end of 'db').
[Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
-
+
+ *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
+
+ Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
+ procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
+ While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
+ x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
+ 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
+
+ To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
+ option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
+
+ As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
+ anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
+ backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
+ namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
+ e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
+
+ [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
+
*) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
implementation.
[Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
+ *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
+ implemention in the following ways:
+
+ Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
+ hard coded.
+
+ Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
+ only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
+ ignored for embedded content.
+
+ CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
+ with the enable-cms configuration option.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
*) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
- [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>, Geoff Thorpe]
+ [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
*) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
uncompresses any data passed through it.
authentication-only ciphersuites.
[Bodo Moeller]
+ *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
+ not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
+ (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
+
Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
*) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
- BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
+ BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
