It is now only compiled + in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and + by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to + standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output + but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original + approach. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations + that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has + also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly + map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts. + This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of + lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally + be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool' + by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count). + (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md', + where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state' + is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be + well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a + chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half + of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains + all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result + in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending + on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when + the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain(); + otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes + can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later. + [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke] + + *) Major EVP API cipher revision. + Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher + parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable + key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and + setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters. + + Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length + ciphers. + + Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every* + cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the + cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and + for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num. + + New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack. + + Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms + of macros. + + By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from + all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys + differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT + flags. + + Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a + value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail + any installed hardware versions can. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if + this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated + protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version + number. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag; + i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise. + Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with + rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB). + [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra] + + *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS + key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards + and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates + with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all. + Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash + features. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was + rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present + but no ssl client purpose. + [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser ] + + *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec + is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled. + Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating + double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the + double NULL. However no password at all is different and is + handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS + treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no + password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do + the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if + the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password: + it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use + perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must + be obtained from the error queue. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing + it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state + accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because + thread_hash is no longer constant once set). + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default + RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already. + Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new() + or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for + RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code + that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames + that are sufficiently small and have no path information + into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to + "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like + ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes + including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf' + may not be NULL. + [Damien Miller , Bodo Moeller] + + *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF + configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a + new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now + old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to + work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions + to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is + provided to make it easier to write new configuration file + reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a + configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*, + or "the configuration storage API"... + + The new configuration file reading functions are: + + NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio, + NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre + + NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32 + + NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio + + NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers, + NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way + as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface. + NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file, + which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same + arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the + first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'. + + To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions, + the function CONF_set_default_method is provided. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already + mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented. + (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional + experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and + OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to + them in a portable way. + [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte] + + Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000] + + *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC. + + *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status + (the default implementation of RAND_status). + + *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5, + to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented. + [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili + ] + + *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length + was larger than the MD block size. + [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William ] + + *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument + fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set() + using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result + of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key + components. + [Steve Henson] + + *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix. + [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where + the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear ] + + *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly + discouraged. + [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver ] + + *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command + 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX' + returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available. + 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases, + the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr. + Additional arguments are always ignored. + + Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name, + the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way. + + ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such + as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE + is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates + its own key. + ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition + to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the + 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining + you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and + 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate). + This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof + does not suppress any output. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The + purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically + accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour, + with all the associated security issues. + + X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and + automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A + new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that + a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead + use the value in the default purpose. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again + and fix a memory leak. + [Steve Henson] + + *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve + reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as + the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in + automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table + using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned + library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special + case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This + converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters, + DSA_generate_parameters is used.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated + by 'openssl dhparam -C'. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used + so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument + which was free. + [Steve Henson] + + *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes + instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing + it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling + RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random + number generation fails. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64 + [Rolf Haberrecker ] + + *) Assembler module support for Mingw32. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/). + [Lutz Jaenicke and Anonymous] + + *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc. + [Lutz Behnke ] + + Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000] + + *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they + were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy(). + [Steve Henson] + + *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument. + [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray ] + + *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n] + case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl + assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set + to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose + scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This + is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope. + [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig ] + + *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before + almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing + STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING) + for example. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming + convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count + and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some + data structure without incrementing reference counters. + (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference + counter, some don't.) + Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference + counters or duplicate objects. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure: + the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf(). + [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem + pointed out by David Sacerdote ] *) Support EGD .
