RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
AVAILABLE PATCHES
- o shared libraries <behnke@trustcenter.de>
- o getenv in ca.c and x509_def.c (jaltman@watsun.cc.columbia.edu)
- o SMIME tool (demo), Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@iki.fi>
- o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
- o FreeBSD 3.0 changes (Richard Levitte)
-
IN PROGRESS
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
- Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
+ ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
+ OCSP
+ EVP cipher enhancement.
+ Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
- Documentation for the openssl utility.
-
- o Mark is currently working on:
- Folding in any changes that are in the C2Net code base that were
- not in the original SSLeay-0.9.1.b release. Plus other minor
- tidying.
-
- o Ralf is currently working on:
- 1. Support for SSL_set_default_verify_paths(),
- SSL_load_verify_locations(), SSL_get_cert_store() and
- SSL_set_cert_store() functions which work like their existing
- SSL_CTX_xxx() variants but on a per connection basis. That's needed
- to let us provide full-featured per-URL client verification in
- mod_ssl or Apache-SSL.
- => It still dumps core, so I suspend this and investigate
- again for OpenSSL 0.9.3.
- 2. The perl/ stuff to make it really work the first time ;-)
- => I'll investigate a few more hours for OpenSSL 0.9.2
- 3. The new documentation set in POD format under doc/
- => I'll investigate a few more hours for OpenSSL 0.9.2
- 4. More cleanups to get rid of obsolete/old/ugly files in the
- source tree which are not really needed.
- => Done all which were possible with my personal knowledge
-
- o Ben is currently working on:
- 1. Function Prototype Thought Police issues.
- 2. Integrated documentation.
- 3. New TLS Ciphersuites.
- 4. Anything else that takes his fancy.
+ o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
+ ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
+ o Richard is currently working on:
+ UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
+ functionality that is currently missing).
+ Shared library support for VMS.
+ OCSP
+ Kerberos 5 authentication
+ Constification
NEEDS PATCH
- o salzr@certco.com (Rich Salz): Bug in X509_name_print
- <29E0A6D39ABED111A36000A0C99609CA2C2BA4@macertco-srv1.ma.certco.com>
- o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
- o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+ o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+
+ o OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
+ #include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
+ e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.
+
+ o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
+ or an error is reported
OPEN ISSUES
- o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
- CA flag ...)
+ o crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
+ with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
+ CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
+ The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
+ to offer.
o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
to date.
Paul +1
- o The EVP and ASN1 stuff is a mess. Currently you have one EVP_CIPHER
- structure for each cipher. This may make sense for things like DES but
- for variable length ciphers like RC2 and RC4 it is NBG. Need a way to
- use the EVP interface and set up the cipher parameters. The ASN1 stuff
- is also foo wrt ciphers whose AlgorithmIdentifier has more than just
- an IV in it (e.g. RC2, RC5). This also means that EVP_Seal and EVP_Open
- don't work unless the key length matches the fixed value (some vendors
- use a key length decided by the size of the RSA encrypted key and expect
- RC2 to adapt).
-
- o Properly initialize the PRNG in the absence of /dev/random.
-
- o ERR_error_string(..., buf) does not know how large buf is,
- there should be ERR_error_string_n(..., buf, bufsize)
- or similar.
