- Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) 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]
+
+ *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
+ randomness from the system.
+ [Matthias St. Pierre]
+
+ *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
+ loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
+ [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
+ SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
+ SSL_set_ciphersuites()
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Memory allocation failures consistenly add an error to the error
+ stack.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
+ in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
+ [Bernd Edlinger]
+
+ *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
+ for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
+ [Matthias St. Pierre]
+
+ *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
+ for the license change).
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
+ SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
+ configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
+ 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
+ configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
+ SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
+ in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
+ spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
+ requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
+ responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
+ on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
+ as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
+ when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
+ as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
+ feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
+ after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
+ written to stderr.
+ [Viktor Dukhovni]
*) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
Mike Hamburg.
*) 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. In particular if no TLSv1.3
- ciphersuites are enabled then OpenSSL will refuse to make a connection
- unless (1) TLSv1.3 is explicitly disabled or (2) the ciphersuite
- configuration is updated to include suitable ciphersuites. The DEFAULT
- ciphersuite configuration does include TLSv1.3 ciphersuites. For further
- information on this and other related issues please 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
+ that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
+ 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
[Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
*) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.

+
+ 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]
+
+ *) 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]
+
+ *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
+ length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) 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]
+
+ *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
+ attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
+ now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
+ compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
+ are no longer allowed.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
+
+ Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
+ through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
+ signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
+ line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
+ at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
+ some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
+ and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
+ could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
+ OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
+ signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
+ OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
+ and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
+ the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
+
+ *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
+
+ Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
+ in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
+ excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
+ are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
+ so this is considered safe.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
+ project.
+ (CVE-2018-0739)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
+
+ Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
+ effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
+ byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
+ authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
+ security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
+ HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
+ (IBM).
+ (CVE-2018-0733)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
+ and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
+ things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
+ to that system and do the rest of the build there.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
+
+ OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
+ (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
+ changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
+ SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
+ 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
+
+ Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
+ using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
+ accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
+ [Matt Caswell]
*) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
exist.
