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 prprocessor 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 and + "Bruce W. Forsberg" ] + + *) 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] + + *) 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) ] + + *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates + passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the + reponse then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified. + [Steve Henson] + + *) 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 + ] + + *) 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] + + *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM. + ["Bruce W. Forsberg" ] + + *) 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] + + *) ./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 + ] + + *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously + result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was + not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used + and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER() + to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER() + where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which + convert status values to strings have been renamed to: + OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and + OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options + to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response + printout format cleaned up. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified + in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the + certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate + or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the + OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key + usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP + signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash + in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify() + and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate + verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and + to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be + performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see + if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set + a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that + chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3 + extensions from a separate configuration file. + As when reading extensions from the main configuration file, + the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the + section to use. + [Massimiliano Pala ] + + *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null + terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen + parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done + by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni(). + [Steve Henson, reported by ] + *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output parsed, outputed or printed in text form.
