Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
+ Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
+ OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
+ directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
+ name and is used as is.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
+ X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
+ X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
+ the "no-shared" Configure option.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
+ All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
+ algorithms.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
+ global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
+ via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
+ Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
+ OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
+ functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
+ EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
+ RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
+ COMP_zlib_cleanup().
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
+ such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
+ enabled with '--debug' builds.
+ [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
+ have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
+ these have been added.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
+ objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
+ functions for managing these have been added.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
+ have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
+ these have been added.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
+ moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
+ have been added.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
*) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
- [Matt Caswell}
+ [Matt Caswell]
*) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.

+ Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
+
+ *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
+
+ A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
+ when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
+ AES-NI.
+
+ This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
+ attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
+ constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
+ compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
+ checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
+ bytes.
+
+ This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
+ (CVE-2016-2107)
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
+
+ An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
+ Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
+ amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
+ corruption.
+
+ Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly used by
+ the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
+ OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
+ from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
+ vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
+ with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
+
+ This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
+ (CVE-2016-2105)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
+
+ An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
+ is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
+ EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
+ resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
+ internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
+ forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
+ the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
+ specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
+ EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
+ therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
+ one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
+ internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
+ EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
+ Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
+ of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
+ instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
+
+ This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
+ (CVE-2016-2106)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
+
+ When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
+ a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
+ potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
+
+ Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
+ affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
+ Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
+ applications are not affected.
+
+ This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
+ (CVE-2016-2109)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) EBCDIC overread
+
+ ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
+ using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
+ in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
+
+ This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
+ (CVE-2016-2176)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
+ callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
+ [Todd Short]
+
+ *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
+ default.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
+ methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
