5 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
7 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
8 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
9 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
11 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
12 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
13 edit numbers of the version.
14 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
16 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
17 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
18 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
20 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
23 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
24 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
27 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
30 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
33 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
36 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
39 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
43 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
44 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
47 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
48 representations in a platform independent manner.
51 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
52 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
55 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
59 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
62 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
66 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
67 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
70 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
74 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
77 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
80 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
83 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
86 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
90 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
93 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
96 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
97 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
101 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
102 the 0.9.6 release series:
104 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
105 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
109 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
112 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
113 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
115 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
116 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
118 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
119 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
120 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
121 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
123 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
124 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
125 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
127 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
128 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
129 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
130 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
132 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
133 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
134 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
137 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
138 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
139 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
140 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
141 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
142 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
143 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
144 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
147 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
148 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
149 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
152 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
153 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
154 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
155 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
156 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
158 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
159 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
161 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
162 error in AES-CFB decryption.
165 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
166 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
167 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
168 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
169 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
170 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
173 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
174 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
175 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
178 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
179 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
182 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
183 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
184 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
185 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
186 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
187 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
188 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
191 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
192 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
193 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
194 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
195 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
196 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
199 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
200 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
201 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
202 declaration has been changed from
205 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
206 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
207 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
208 has been changed into
209 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
211 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
212 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
213 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
215 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
216 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
218 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
219 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
220 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
221 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
222 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
223 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
224 always load it have also been added.
227 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
228 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
229 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
231 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
233 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
234 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
235 because it couldn't be used for anything.
237 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
238 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
239 command line option can be used to specify an
243 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
244 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
247 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
248 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
249 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
252 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
253 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
254 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
255 to work with the new engine framework.
256 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
258 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
259 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
260 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
261 to work with the new engine framework.
264 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
265 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
266 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
268 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
269 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
271 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
272 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
273 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
274 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
276 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
278 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
279 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
281 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
282 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
284 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
285 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
286 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
291 ERR_peek_last_error_line
292 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
296 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
297 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
298 still in the error queue.
299 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
301 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
303 default_algorithms = ALL
304 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
307 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
310 *) New experimental application configuration code.
313 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
314 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
315 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
316 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
318 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
319 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
321 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
322 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
324 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
325 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
328 *) New functions/macros
330 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
331 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
332 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
333 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
335 to request calling a callback function
337 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
338 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
340 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
341 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
342 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
343 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
344 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
345 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
346 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
347 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
348 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
349 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
351 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
352 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
355 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
356 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
357 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
358 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
359 the configuration scripts.
361 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
362 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
363 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
365 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
366 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
368 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
369 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
370 when reusing an existing buffer.
373 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
374 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
377 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
378 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
381 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
382 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
383 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
385 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
387 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
388 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
389 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
390 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
391 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
392 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
395 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
396 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
397 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
398 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
400 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
401 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
402 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
403 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
405 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
406 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
409 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
410 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
411 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
412 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
413 default), and then completely removed.
416 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
417 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
418 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
419 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
420 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
421 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
422 particular extension is supported.
425 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
426 to retain compatibility with existing code.
429 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
430 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
431 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
432 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
433 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
434 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
435 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
436 requires the destination to be valid.
438 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
439 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
442 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
443 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
444 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
447 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
448 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
450 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
451 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
452 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
453 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
454 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
455 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
456 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
457 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
458 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
459 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
460 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
461 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
462 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
463 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
464 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
465 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
466 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
467 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
468 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
472 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
475 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
476 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
477 become part of libeay.num as well.
480 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
481 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
482 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
483 false once a handshake has been completed.
484 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
485 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
486 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
487 client has followed the request.)
490 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
491 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
492 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
493 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
495 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
496 more bits available for options that should not be part of
497 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
500 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
503 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
504 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
505 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
508 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
509 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
512 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
513 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
514 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
515 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
518 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
519 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
520 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
521 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
522 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
523 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
526 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
527 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
528 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
529 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
530 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
531 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
532 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
533 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
536 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
537 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
540 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
543 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
544 md_data void pointer.
547 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
548 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
549 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
550 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
551 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
552 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
555 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
556 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
557 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
558 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
559 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
560 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
561 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
562 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
563 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
564 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
565 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
566 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
567 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
568 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
569 rather than letting it slide.
571 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
572 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
573 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
576 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
577 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
578 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
579 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
580 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
581 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
582 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
583 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
584 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
587 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
588 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
589 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
590 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
591 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
593 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
596 *) Add EVP test program.
599 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
602 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
603 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
604 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
605 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
606 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
609 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
610 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
611 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
612 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
613 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
614 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
615 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
617 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
618 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
619 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
624 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
625 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
626 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
627 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
628 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
632 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
633 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
634 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
635 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
640 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
641 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
643 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
646 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
647 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
648 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
649 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
650 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
651 functions prevents this.
654 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
657 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
661 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
662 revocation information is handled using the text based index
663 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
664 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
665 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
668 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
671 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
672 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
673 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
674 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
676 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
677 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
679 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
680 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
681 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
684 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
685 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
686 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
687 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
690 *) Speed up EVP routines.
693 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

708 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
709 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
711 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
712 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
713 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
714 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
715 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
716 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
719 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
720 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
723 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
724 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
725 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
726 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
728 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
729 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
730 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
731 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
732 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
733 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
737 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
738 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
739 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
740 and interrupts/cancellations.
743 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
744 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
747 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
748 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
749 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
751 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
752 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
756 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
757 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
758 than this minimum value is recommended.
761 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
762 that are easily reachable.
765 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
766 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
768 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
770 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
771 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
772 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
773 needed for static libraries under Win32.
776 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
777 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
778 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
781 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
782 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
783 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
784 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
785 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
786 internally such as S/MIME.
788 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
789 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
790 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
792 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
796 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
797 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
798 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
799 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
801 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
803 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
805 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
806 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
807 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
811 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
812 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
813 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
814 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
815 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
816 a window system and the like.
819 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
820 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
823 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
824 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
825 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
826 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
827 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
828 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
829 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
830 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
831 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
835 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
836 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
840 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
841 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
842 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
843 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
844 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
845 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
846 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
847 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
850 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
851 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
852 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
853 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
854 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
855 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
856 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
857 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
858 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
859 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
860 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
861 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
862 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
863 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
864 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
865 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
866 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
869 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
870 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
871 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
872 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
873 internal engine_int.h header.
876 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
877 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
878 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
879 modify their own ones).
882 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
883 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
884 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
885 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
886 later on via ctrl() commands.
887 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
888 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
889 structural references.
890 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
891 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
892 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
893 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
894 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
895 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
896 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
897 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
898 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
899 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
900 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
901 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
904 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
905 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
906 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
907 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
908 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
909 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
910 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
911 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
914 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
915 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
918 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
919 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
922 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
923 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
924 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
925 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
926 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
927 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
928 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
931 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
932 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
933 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
934 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
935 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
937 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
938 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
942 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
944 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
945 operations and provides various method functions that can also
946 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
948 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
949 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
951 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
952 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
953 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
955 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
958 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
959 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
961 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
963 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
964 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
965 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
968 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
969 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
972 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
973 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
974 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
975 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
976 is 40 of more characters long.
979 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
980 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
984 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
985 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
988 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
989 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
993 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
995 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
996 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
999 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1001 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1002 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1003 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1005 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1006 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1008 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1011 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1015 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1016 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1017 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1018 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1020 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1022 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1023 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1025 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1026 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1027 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1028 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1029 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1030 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1032 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1033 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1035 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1036 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1038 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1039 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1041 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1042 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1043 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1044 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1046 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1047 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1049 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1050 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1052 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1053 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1054 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1055 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1056 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1059 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1060 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1061 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1062 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1065 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1066 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1067 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1071 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1072 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1073 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1074 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1075 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1076 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1077 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1078 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1082 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1083 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1086 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1087 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1088 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1089 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1092 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1093 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1094 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1095 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1096 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1097 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1098 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1099 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1100 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1101 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1104 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1105 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1106 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1107 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1108 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1109 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1110 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1111 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1113 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1114 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1115 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1116 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1119 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1120 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1121 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1122 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1124 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1125 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1126 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1127 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1128 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1132 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1133 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1134 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1135 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1139 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1140 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1141 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1144 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1145 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1146 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1147 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1148 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1151 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1154 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1155 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1156 option to ocsp utility.
1159 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1160 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1161 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1162 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1163 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1164 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1165 the request is nonce-less.
1168 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1169 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1170 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1173 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1174 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1175 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1178 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1179 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1180 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1181 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1182 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1185 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1186 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1190 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1191 additional certificates supplied.
1194 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1195 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1199 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1200 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1203 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1204 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1205 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1206 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1207 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1208 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1209 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1210 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1211 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1213 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1214 request to response.
1217 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1218 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1219 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1220 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1221 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1222 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1223 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1224 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1225 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1226 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1227 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1230 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1231 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1232 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1233 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1236 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1237 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1239 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1240 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1241 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1244 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1245 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1246 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1247 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1248 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1250 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1251 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1252 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1255 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1256 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1257 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1258 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1259 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1260 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1261 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1262 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1264 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1265 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1266 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1267 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1268 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1269 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1272 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1273 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1274 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1275 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1276 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1277 printout format cleaned up.
1280 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1281 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1282 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1283 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1284 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1285 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1286 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1287 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1290 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1291 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1292 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1293 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1294 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1295 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1296 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1297 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1300 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1301 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1302 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1303 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1305 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1307 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1308 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1309 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1310 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1313 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1314 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1315 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1316 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1318 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1320 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1321 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1322 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1323 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1325 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1326 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1328 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1329 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1330 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1333 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1334 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1335 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1338 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1339 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1340 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1341 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1342 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1343 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1344 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1345 functions are provided:
1347 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1348 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1349 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1350 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1352 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1353 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1354 extended allocation function is enabled.
1355 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1356 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1357 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1359 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1360 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1361 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1362 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1363 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1366 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1367 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1368 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1370 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1371 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1372 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1375 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1376 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1377 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1378 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1379 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1380 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1381 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1382 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1383 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1386 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1387 provide utility functions which an application needing
1388 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1389 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1390 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1392 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1393 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1394 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1395 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1396 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1397 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1398 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1399 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1400 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1402 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1403 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1404 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1405 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1408 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1409 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1410 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1411 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1412 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1413 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1414 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1415 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1416 will be added elsewhere.
1419 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1420 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1421 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1422 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1425 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1426 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1427 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1428 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1429 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1430 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1431 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1432 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1433 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1434 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1435 to produce the required SET OF.
1438 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1439 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1440 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1443 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1444 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1445 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1446 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1447 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1448 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1451 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1452 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1453 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1456 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1457 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1458 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1461 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1462 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1463 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1464 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1465 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1468 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1469 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1472 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1473 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1474 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1475 certifcates and CRLs.
1478 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1479 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1480 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1483 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1484 entries for variables.
1487 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1488 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1489 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1490 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1493 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1494 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1495 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1496 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1497 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1498 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1501 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1502 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1504 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1505 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1506 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1509 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1513 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1514 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1515 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1516 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1517 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1518 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1521 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1524 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1525 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1526 for now but they will eventually go away.
1529 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1530 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1531 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1532 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1533 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1534 has also been converted to the new form.
1537 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1538 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1539 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1540 for negative moduli.
1543 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1544 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1547 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1551 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1552 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1553 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1554 type-specific callbacks.
1557 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1559 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1560 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1562 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1563 in sections depending on the subject.
1566 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1570 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1571 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1572 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1573 be handled deterministically).
1574 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1576 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1577 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1578 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1581 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1584 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1585 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1586 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1587 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1588 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1591 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1592 sign of the number in question.
1594 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1596 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1597 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1598 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1599 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1600 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1603 *) New function BN_swap.
1606 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1607 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1608 results on negative inputs.
1611 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1612 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1613 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1616 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1617 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1618 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1619 and add new functions:
1628 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1632 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1634 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1635 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1637 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1638 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1639 be reduced modulo m.
1640 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1642 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1643 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1644 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1645 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1646 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1647 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1651 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1652 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1653 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1654 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1655 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1657 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1658 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1659 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1663 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1666 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1667 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1670 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1671 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1672 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1673 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1677 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1680 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1683 *) Add the following functions:
1685 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1687 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1689 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1691 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1692 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1693 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1694 libraries unless it's really needed.
1696 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1697 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1698 declarations (they differed!).
1701 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1704 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1707 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1710 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1711 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1714 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1715 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1716 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1718 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1719 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1722 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1725 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1728 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1731 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1732 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1733 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1735 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1736 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1737 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1738 different shared library filenames on each system.
1741 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1744 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1745 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1746 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1748 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1751 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1752 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1753 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1754 binary backward compatibility.
1755 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1756 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1757 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1761 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1762 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1763 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1764 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1768 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1771 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1772 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1773 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1774 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1778 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1781 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [xx XXX xxxx]
1783 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
1784 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
1785 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
1787 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
1788 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
1789 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
1793 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
1794 being properly terminated.
1797 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
1798 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
1799 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
1800 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
1802 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
1803 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
1804 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
1805 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
1806 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
1807 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
1808 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
1810 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
1812 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
1813 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
1816 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
1817 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
1818 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),

1823 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
1825 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
1826 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
1827 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
1828 (see [openssl.org #212]).
1829 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1831 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
1832 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
1835 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
1837 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
1838 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
1839 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
1841 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
1843 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
1844 and get fix the header length calculation.
1845 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
1846 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
1849 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
1850 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
1851 assertions could call abort()).
1852 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
1854 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
1856 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1857 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1858 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1860 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1862 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
1863 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
1864 by the selection routines (PR #130).
1867 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
1871 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
1872 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
1873 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
1875 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
1876 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
1877 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
1878 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
1879 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
1883 *) Changes in security patch:
1885 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
1886 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
1887 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
1890 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1891 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1892 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1893 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
1894 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1896 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to

1900 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
1901 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
1902 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>

1905 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
1906 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1908 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
1909 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
1910 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1912 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
1914 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
1915 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
1916 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
1918 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
1919 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1921 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
1922 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
1923 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
1924 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
1925 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
1926 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
1929 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
1930 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
1931 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
1932 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
1935 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
1938 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
1939 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
1940 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
1941 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
1942 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
1943 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1945 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
1946 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
1947 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
1948 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
1949 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
1952 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
1953 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
1954 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
1955 BN_generate_prime().)
1957 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
1958 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
1959 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
1963 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
1964 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
1967 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
1968 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
1969 when using non-blocking I/O.
1970 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
1972 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
1973 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
1975 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
1976 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
1979 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
1980 configuration for the versions before that.
1981 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1983 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
1984 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
1985 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
1986 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
1989 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
1990 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
1991 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
1994 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested

2000 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2002 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2003 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2005 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2006 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2007 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2008 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2009 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2010 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2011 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2014 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2015 using a local variable.
2016 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2018 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2019 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2020 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2022 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2025 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2026 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2028 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2029 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2030 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2032 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2034 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2035 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2036 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2037 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2040 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2044 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2045 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2046 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2047 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2048 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2050 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2051 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2052 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2054 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2055 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2056 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2058 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2059 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2060 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2061 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2063 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2064 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2065 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2067 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2069 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2070 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2072 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2074 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2075 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2076 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2077 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2079 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2080 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2081 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2082 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2084 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2085 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2087 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2088 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2089 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2092 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2093 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2094 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2096 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2098 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2099 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2100 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2101 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2102 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2103 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2104 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2107 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2108 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2109 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2110 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2112 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2113 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2114 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2115 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2116 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2117 the client will at least see that alert.
2120 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2124 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2125 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2126 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2128 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2129 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2130 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2131 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2134 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2135 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2136 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2138 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2139 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2140 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2141 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2142 may leak via logfiles.)
2144 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2145 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2146 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2147 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2151 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2152 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2155 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2156 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2157 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2158 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2159 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2162 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2163 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2165 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2166 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2167 followed by modular reduction.
2168 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2170 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2171 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2174 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2175 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2176 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2177 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2180 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2183 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2184 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2187 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2188 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2189 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2190 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2191 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2192 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2194 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2196 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2197 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2198 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2199 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2200 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2202 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2205 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2206 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2207 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2208 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2209 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2210 to allow the necessary settings.
2213 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2214 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2215 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2216 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2219 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2220 dh->length and always used
2222 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2224 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2225 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2226 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2227 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2228 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2233 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2235 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2241 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2242 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2243 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2244 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2246 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2247 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2248 always reject numbers >= n.
2251 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2252 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2253 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2254 variable) is not atomic.
2257 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2258 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2259 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2260 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2262 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2263 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2265 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2267 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2269 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2272 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2274 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2275 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2276 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2277 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2278 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2279 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2280 to traverse all of 'state'.
2282 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2283 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2284 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2286 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2287 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2289 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2290 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2291 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2292 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2293 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2294 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2295 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2296 further strengthens the PRNG.
2299 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2302 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2303 an error message in this case.
2306 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2309 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2310 positive and less than q.
2313 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2314 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2316 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2318 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2319 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2323 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2325 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2326 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2327 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2328 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2329 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2330 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2331 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2334 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2335 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2336 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2337 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2339 Both problems are now fixed.
2342 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2343 (previously it was 1024).
2346 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2347 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2350 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2353 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2354 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2355 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2358 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2359 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2360 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2361 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2362 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2363 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2364 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2365 environment variables.
2367 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2368 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2369 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2372 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2373 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2374 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2375 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2376 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2377 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2380 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2384 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2386 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2387 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2389 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2390 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2391 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2392 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2396 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2397 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2398 amount of data available.
2399 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2400 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2402 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2403 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2404 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2405 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2408 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2409 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2413 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2414 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2415 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2416 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2419 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2422 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2425 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2426 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2428 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2430 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2431 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2432 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2433 (but broken) behaviour.
2436 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2438 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2440 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2441 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2444 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2448 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2449 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2451 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2454 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2455 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2456 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2458 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2459 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2460 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2463 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2464 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2467 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2468 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2470 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2472 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2474 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2475 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2476 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2477 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2480 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2483 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2484 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2485 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2487 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2490 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2492 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2493 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2494 but the code is actually correct.
2497 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2498 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2499 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2500 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2501 and leaves the highest bit random.
2502 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2504 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2505 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2506 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2507 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2508 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2509 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2510 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2513 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2516 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2517 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2520 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2521 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2522 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2523 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2527 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2528 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2529 and break the signature.
2531 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2533 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2537 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2538 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2539 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2540 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2541 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2544 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2545 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2547 *) ./config script fixes.
2548 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2550 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2553 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2554 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2555 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2556 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2557 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2559 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2560 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2563 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2564 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2567 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2568 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2569 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2570 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2572 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2573 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2575 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2576 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2577 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2578 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2579 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2581 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2584 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2587 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2590 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2593 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2594 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2597 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2598 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2599 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2600 result of the server certificate verification.)
2603 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2604 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2605 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2609 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2610 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2611 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2612 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2613 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2614 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2615 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2616 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2619 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2620 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2621 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2622 happening the other way round.
2625 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2626 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2629 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2630 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2631 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2632 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2635 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2636 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2638 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2640 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2641 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2642 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2645 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2647 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2649 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2653 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2655 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2656 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2657 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2658 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2659 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2661 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2662 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2666 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2669 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2671 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2672 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2673 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2674 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2675 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2676 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2677 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2678 by the Finished messages.
2681 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2682 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2684 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2685 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2686 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2687 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2688 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2692 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2693 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2694 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2695 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2696 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2697 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2698 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2699 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2700 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2704 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2705 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2706 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2707 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2709 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2710 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2711 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2712 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2713 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2716 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2717 been tested well enough.
2720 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2721 it can return incorrect results.
2722 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2723 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2726 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2727 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2728 include zero length content when signing messages.
2731 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2732 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2735 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2738 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2742 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2743 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2744 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2745 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2746 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2747 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2750 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2751 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2753 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2754 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2756 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2757 random number < q in the DSA library.
2760 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2761 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2762 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2763 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2764 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2765 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2766 just makes things more complicated.)
2769 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2773 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2774 work better on such systems.
2775 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2777 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2778 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2779 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2782 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2783 if there was more than one signature.
2784 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2786 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2787 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2788 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2789 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2792 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2793 rather than always using the current time.
2796 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2797 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2798 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2799 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2800 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2801 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2803 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2804 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2806 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2808 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2809 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2810 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2811 the same hash value.
2813 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2814 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2815 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2816 with X509_STORE internally.
2818 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2819 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2821 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2822 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2823 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2824 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2825 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2826 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2827 entirely (maybe later...).
2829 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2831 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2832 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2833 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2834 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2835 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2836 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2837 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2838 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2840 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2841 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2843 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2844 to customise the verify behaviour.
2847 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2848 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2851 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2852 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2853 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2854 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2855 request is improperly encoded.
2858 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2859 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2862 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2863 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2865 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2866 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2870 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2871 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2872 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2875 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2876 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2877 BIO/fp routines also added.
2880 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2881 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2883 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2884 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2885 demos/state_machine.
2888 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2889 generation and verification.
2892 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2893 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2894 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2895 encode and decode it manually.
2898 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2900 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2902 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2903 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2904 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2905 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2907 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2908 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2909 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2910 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2911 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2914 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2917 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2918 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2919 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2921 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2922 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2923 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2924 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2925 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2926 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2927 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2928 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2930 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2931 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2933 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2935 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2936 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2937 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2941 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2942 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2943 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2944 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2948 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2950 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2953 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2954 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2955 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2956 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2957 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2958 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2959 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2960 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2961 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2962 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2963 short or long names are found.
2966 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2967 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2969 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2970 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2971 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2972 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2974 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2975 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2976 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2977 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2980 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2981 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2982 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2985 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2986 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2987 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2988 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2989 to allow the various flags to be set.
2992 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2993 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2994 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2995 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2996 dates to be checked.
2999 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3000 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3001 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3004 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3005 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3006 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3009 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3010 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3013 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3014 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3015 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3016 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3017 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3018 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3021 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3022 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3026 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3030 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3031 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3032 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3033 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3034 form signing output easier to verify.
3037 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3040 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3041 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3042 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3043 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3044 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3045 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3046 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3047 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3048 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3049 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3052 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3054 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3055 the syntax given in objects.README.
3056 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3058 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3061 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3062 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3063 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3064 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3065 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3066 consistent name changes.
3069 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3072 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3073 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3074 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3075 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3078 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3079 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3080 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3084 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3085 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3086 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3087 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3090 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3091 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3092 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3093 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3094 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3095 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3096 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3097 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3098 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3099 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3100 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3103 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3104 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3105 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3106 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3107 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3108 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3109 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3110 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3111 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3112 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3115 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3116 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3117 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3118 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3120 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3121 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3122 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3123 omit any duplicate addresses.
3126 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3127 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3130 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3131 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3132 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3133 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3134 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3137 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3139 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3140 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3141 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3142 Free => OPENSSL_free
3145 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3146 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3149 *) CygWin32 support.
3150 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3152 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3153 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3154 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3155 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3156 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3160 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3161 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3162 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3163 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3164 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3165 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3166 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3169 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3170 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3171 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3172 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3173 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3174 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3175 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3176 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3177 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3178 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3179 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3182 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3183 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3184 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3185 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3186 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3188 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3189 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3190 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3191 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3192 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3194 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3197 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3198 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3199 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3200 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3202 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3204 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3207 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3208 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3209 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3212 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3213 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3214 any installed hardware versions can.
3217 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3218 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3219 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3223 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3224 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3225 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3226 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3227 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3229 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3230 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3233 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3234 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3237 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3238 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3239 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3243 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3246 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3247 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3248 but no ssl client purpose.
3249 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3251 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3252 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3253 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3254 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3255 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3256 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3257 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3258 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3259 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3260 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3261 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3264 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3265 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3266 be obtained from the error queue.
3269 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3270 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3271 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3272 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3275 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3278 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3279 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3280 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3281 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3282 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3285 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3286 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3287 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3288 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3289 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3292 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3293 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3294 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3296 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3298 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3299 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3300 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3301 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3302 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3303 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3304 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3305 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3306 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3307 or "the configuration storage API"...
3309 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3311 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3312 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3314 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3316 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3318 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3319 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3320 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3321 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3322 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3323 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3324 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3326 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3327 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3330 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3331 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3332 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3333 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3336 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3337 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3338 them in a portable way.
3339 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3341 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3343 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3345 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3346 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3348 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3349 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3350 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3353 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3354 was larger than the MD block size.
3355 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3357 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3358 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3359 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3360 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3364 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3365 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3366 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3368 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3370 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3372 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3373 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3374 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3375 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3376 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3377 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3379 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3380 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3382 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3383 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3386 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3389 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3390 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3392 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3393 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3394 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3395 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3398 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3399 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3400 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3401 does not suppress any output.
3404 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3405 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3406 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3407 with all the associated security issues.
3409 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3410 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3411 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3412 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3413 use the value in the default purpose.
3416 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3417 and fix a memory leak.
3420 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3421 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3422 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3423 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3426 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3427 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3428 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3429 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3432 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3433 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3434 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3437 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3438 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3441 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3442 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3446 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3447 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3450 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3451 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3452 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3455 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3456 number generation fails.
3459 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3462 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3463 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3465 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3468 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3469 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3471 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3472 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3474 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3476 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3477 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3480 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3481 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3483 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3484 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3487 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3488 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3489 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3490 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3491 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3492 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3494 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3495 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3496 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3500 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3501 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3502 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3503 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3504 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3505 counter, some don't.)
3506 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3507 counters or duplicate objects.
3510 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3511 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3514 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3515 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3516 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3518 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3519 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3520 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3524 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3525 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3528 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3529 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3530 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3534 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3535 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3536 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3539 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3540 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3541 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3542 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3543 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3544 should work without changes.
3547 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3548 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3549 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3550 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3551 must be defined. E.g.,
3552 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3553 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3554 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3555 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3557 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3561 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3562 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3563 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3566 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3567 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3568 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3569 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3572 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3573 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3574 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3575 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3576 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3577 is prompted for as usual.
3580 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3581 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3582 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3583 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3585 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3586 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3587 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3588 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3591 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3594 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3598 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3601 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3604 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3608 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3611 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3614 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3615 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3618 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3619 options to produce them.
3622 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3623 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3626 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3630 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3631 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3632 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3633 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3634 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3635 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3636 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3639 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3642 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3643 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3644 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3647 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3648 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3650 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3651 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3654 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3655 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3656 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3660 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3661 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3663 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3664 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3665 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3666 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3667 generation becomes much faster.
3669 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3670 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3671 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3672 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3673 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3674 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3675 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3676 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3677 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3678 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3681 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3682 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3683 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3684 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3685 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3686 trial division stage.
3689 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3693 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3696 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3699 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3700 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3701 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3705 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3706 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3707 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3710 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3711 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3712 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3713 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3715 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3716 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3719 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3722 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3723 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3724 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3725 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3728 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3729 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3730 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3733 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3734 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3735 (instead of parameters) in future.
3738 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3739 when a new cipher list is set.
3742 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3743 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3746 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3747 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3748 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3750 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3751 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3752 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3753 an error is flagged.
3755 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3756 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3757 the readability was also increased :-)
3758 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3760 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3761 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3762 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3763 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3767 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3768 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3771 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3772 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3773 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3774 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3777 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3778 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3779 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3780 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3781 because they handle more complex structures.)
3784 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3785 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3786 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3787 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3789 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3790 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3791 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3792 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3793 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3794 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3795 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3798 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3799 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3800 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3801 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3802 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3805 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3808 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3809 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3810 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3811 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3812 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3815 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3819 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3820 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3821 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3822 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3825 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3828 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3829 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3830 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3831 international characters are used.
3833 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3834 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3835 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3839 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3840 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3841 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3844 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3845 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3846 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3847 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3848 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3849 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3851 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3852 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3853 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3854 be handled by the string table functions.
3856 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3857 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3858 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3859 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3860 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3864 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3865 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3866 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3867 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3868 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3870 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3871 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3872 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3873 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3876 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3877 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3878 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3879 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3880 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3884 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3885 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3886 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3887 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3888 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3889 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3890 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3891 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3893 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3894 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3895 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3898 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3899 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3900 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3901 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3902 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3903 support to pkcs8 application.
3906 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3907 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3908 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3909 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3910 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3911 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3914 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3915 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3916 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3917 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3918 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3922 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3923 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3924 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3925 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3929 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3930 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3931 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3932 and any application specific purposes.
3934 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3935 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3936 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3937 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3938 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3939 if the certificate is self signed.
3942 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
3943 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
3946 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
3947 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
3948 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
3949 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
3952 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
3953 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
3954 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
3955 Update documentation.
3958 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
3959 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
3960 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
3961 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
3962 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
3965 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
3967 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
3969 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
3970 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
3971 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
3972 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
3973 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
3974 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
3975 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
3976 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
3977 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
3978 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
3980 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
3982 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3983 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3984 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
3985 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
3986 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
3988 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
3989 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
3990 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
3991 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
3992 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
3993 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
3994 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
3995 request additional information:
3996 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
3997 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
3999 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4000 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4001 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4004 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4005 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4008 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4011 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4012 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4014 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4015 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4016 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4020 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4021 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4022 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4024 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4025 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4026 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4027 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4028 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4029 included in OpenSSL.
4032 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4033 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4034 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4035 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4036 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4037 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4040 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4044 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4045 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4046 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4047 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4048 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4052 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4056 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4057 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4058 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4059 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4060 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4061 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4062 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4063 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4064 be maintained manually.
4066 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4067 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4068 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4069 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4070 work because people forget to call this function]
4071 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4072 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4073 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4076 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4077 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4078 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4079 should be discouraged from doing it.
4082 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4083 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4084 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4085 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4086 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4087 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4090 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4091 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4092 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4094 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4095 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4096 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4098 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4099 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4100 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4101 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4102 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4103 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4105 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4106 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4107 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4109 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4110 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4113 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4114 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4115 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4116 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4119 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4122 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4123 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4124 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4125 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4126 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4127 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4128 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4129 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4130 keys so we should be OK.
4132 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4133 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4134 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4135 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4136 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4137 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4138 stay in the name of compatibility.
4140 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4141 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4142 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4144 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4145 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4146 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4147 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4148 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4149 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4153 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4154 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4155 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4156 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4157 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4158 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4159 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4160 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4161 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4162 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4163 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4164 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4165 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4168 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4171 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4172 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4173 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4174 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4175 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4176 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4177 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4178 openssl verify ss.pem
4179 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4180 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4184 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4185 (and add it to external session representation).
4186 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4187 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4188 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4189 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4190 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4191 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4193 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4195 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4196 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4197 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4198 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4200 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4201 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4202 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4205 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4206 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4207 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4211 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4212 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4213 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4215 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4216 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4217 certificate auxiliary information.
4220 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4224 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4225 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4226 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4227 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4228 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4229 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4230 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4233 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4234 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4237 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4238 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4239 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4240 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4243 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4246 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4247 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4250 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4251 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4252 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4253 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4254 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4255 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4256 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4257 using the new 'x509' options.
4259 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4260 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4261 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4262 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4266 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4267 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4268 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4269 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4270 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4273 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4274 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4275 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4276 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4277 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4278 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4279 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4280 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4281 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4282 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4285 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4286 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4287 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4288 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4289 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4290 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4291 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4294 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4295 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4296 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4297 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4298 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4299 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4300 openssl.cnf for more info.
4303 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4304 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4305 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4306 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4307 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4308 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4309 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4310 md should be large enough anyway.
4313 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4314 for handling the random seed file.
4316 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4318 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4321 x509 (when signing).
4322 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4323 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4324 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4326 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4327 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4328 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4329 that support '-rand'.
4332 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4333 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4336 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4337 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4340 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4341 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4342 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4343 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4347 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4348 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4349 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4350 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4353 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4354 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4355 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4356 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4357 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4358 print out all the purposes.
4361 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4365 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4366 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4367 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4368 single function call.
4371 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4372 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4375 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4376 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4377 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4380 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4381 when producing the local key id.
4382 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4384 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4385 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4386 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4390 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4391 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4392 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4393 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4396 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4397 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4398 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4399 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4401 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4402 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4403 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4404 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4406 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4407 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4408 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4409 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4410 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4411 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4412 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4413 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4414 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4415 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4416 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4417 trivial: move one line.
4418 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4420 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4421 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4422 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4423 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4424 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4425 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4426 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4427 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4428 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4429 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4430 with an event loop for example.
4433 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4434 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4435 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4436 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4437 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4438 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4439 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4440 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4441 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4444 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4445 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4446 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4447 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4448 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4449 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4452 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4453 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4454 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4455 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4457 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4458 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4459 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4460 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4464 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4465 (still largely untested)
4468 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4469 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4472 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4473 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4476 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4477 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4478 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4481 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4482 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4483 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4484 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4485 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4488 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4491 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4492 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4493 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4494 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4495 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4499 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4500 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4503 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4506 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4507 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4508 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4509 are otherwise ignored at present.
4512 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4513 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4514 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4515 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4516 copied until the next read.
4519 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4520 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4521 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4524 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4525 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4526 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4527 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4528 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4529 associated functions.
4532 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4533 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4534 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4535 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4536 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4537 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4538 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4539 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4540 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4544 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4545 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4546 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4547 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4550 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4551 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4552 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4553 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4554 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4558 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4559 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4563 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4564 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4565 extensions to be obtained and added.
4568 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4569 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4572 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4574 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4575 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4577 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4578 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4580 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4584 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4585 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4586 DH parameters contain its length).
4588 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4589 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4590 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4591 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4592 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4593 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4594 utter importance to use
4595 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4597 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4598 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4599 attacks may become possible!
4602 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4605 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4606 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4609 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4610 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4611 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4615 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4616 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4617 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4618 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4619 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4620 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4621 private key operations.
4624 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4627 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4628 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4630 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4631 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4632 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4633 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4634 the password callback is called.
4635 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4637 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4639 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4640 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4641 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4642 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4643 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4644 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4647 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4648 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4649 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4650 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4651 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4652 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4655 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4658 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4659 delete an unused file.
4662 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4663 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4664 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4665 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4668 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4669 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4670 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4674 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4675 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4676 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4678 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4679 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4680 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4681 comparison" warnings.
4682 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4685 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4686 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4687 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4690 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4691 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4693 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4694 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4696 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4697 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4698 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4700 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4701 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4702 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4703 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4704 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4706 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4708 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4709 The interface is as follows:
4710 Applications can use
4711 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4712 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4713 "off" is now the default.
4714 The library internally uses
4715 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4716 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4717 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4719 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4720 even the default) are now avoided.
4722 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4723 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4724 than just having a counter.
4726 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4728 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4732 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4733 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4734 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4735 Initial "mode" flags are:
4737 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4738 a single record has been written.
4739 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4740 retries use the same buffer location.
4741 (But all of the contents must be
4745 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4748 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4749 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4751 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4752 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4753 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4756 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4757 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4759 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4761 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4762 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4763 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4764 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4766 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4767 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4769 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4770 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4771 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4772 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4773 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4774 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4777 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4778 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4779 necessary function names.
4782 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4783 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4784 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4785 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4788 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4789 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4790 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4793 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4794 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4795 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4796 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4798 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4802 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4803 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4804 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4807 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4808 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4812 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4813 for the encoded length.
4814 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4816 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4819 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4820 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4821 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4822 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4825 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4826 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4827 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4829 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
4830 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
4831 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
4835 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
4836 to use the new extension code.
4839 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
4840 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
4841 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4845 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4846 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4847 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4851 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4854 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4855 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4856 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4859 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4860 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4861 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4862 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4865 *) DES library cleanups.
4868 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4869 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4870 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4871 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4872 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4876 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4877 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4880 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4881 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4882 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4883 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4884 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4885 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4886 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4887 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4888 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4891 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4892 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4893 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4894 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4895 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4896 value doesn't matter.
4899 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4903 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4904 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4905 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4906 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4908 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4911 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4912 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4913 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4915 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
4916 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4918 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
4921 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
4924 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
4927 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
4931 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
4933 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
4935 *) Updated some demos.
4936 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
4938 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
4941 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
4944 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
4947 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
4948 instead of using a fixed path.
4951 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
4954 *) Improvements for VMS support.
4958 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
4960 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
4961 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
4962 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4964 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
4965 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
4966 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
4967 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
4968 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
4969 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
4970 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
4971 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
4972 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
4973 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
4976 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
4977 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
4980 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
4981 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
4982 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
4983 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
4984 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
4986 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
4989 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
4990 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
4991 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
4994 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
4997 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
4998 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
4999 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5000 key elements as negative integers.
5003 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5004 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5007 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5009 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5010 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5011 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5014 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5015 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5016 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5017 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5018 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5021 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5024 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5025 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5026 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5027 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5029 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5030 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5031 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5033 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5034 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5035 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5036 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5037 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5038 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5039 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5040 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5041 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5043 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5044 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5045 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5046 does not influence s as it used to.
5048 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5049 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5050 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5051 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5052 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5053 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5056 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5057 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5058 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5062 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5063 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5064 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5068 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5069 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5070 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5074 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5075 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5078 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5079 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5084 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5085 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5087 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5088 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5090 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5093 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5096 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5097 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5099 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5100 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5101 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5105 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5106 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5107 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5108 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5109 now it really counts the depth.
5112 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5113 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5114 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5115 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5116 didn't match the private key).
5118 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5119 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5120 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5123 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5126 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5130 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5131 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5132 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5135 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5138 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5139 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5140 such as /usr/local/bin.
5143 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5144 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5146 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5149 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5150 extension adding in x509 utility.
5153 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5156 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5160 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5163 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5164 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5165 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5166 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5167 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5168 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5169 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5170 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5171 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5172 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5175 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5178 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5179 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5182 *) Fix some race conditions.
5185 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5186 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5189 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5192 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5193 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5194 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5195 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5197 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5198 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5200 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5201 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5202 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5204 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5205 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5207 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5210 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5211 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5213 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5216 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5217 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5219 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5220 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5223 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5224 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5227 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5228 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5231 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5232 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5235 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5236 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5239 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5240 support typesafe stack.
5243 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5244 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5246 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5247 old X509V3 handling code.
5250 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5253 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5256 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5259 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5260 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5262 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5263 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5264 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5265 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5266 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5269 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5270 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5271 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5272 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5273 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5275 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5276 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5277 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5278 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5280 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5281 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5282 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5283 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5285 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5286 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5287 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5288 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5289 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5290 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5293 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5294 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5297 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5298 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5301 *) Tweaks to Configure
5302 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5304 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5308 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5311 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5312 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5315 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5316 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5317 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5320 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5323 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5324 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5327 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5328 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5329 to library startup routines.
5332 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5333 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5334 codes along the way.
5337 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5338 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5339 objects to objects.h
5342 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5343 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5346 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5347 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5349 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5350 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5351 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5353 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5354 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5355 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5357 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5358 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5359 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5362 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5364 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5365 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5368 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5369 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5370 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5371 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5372 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5374 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5375 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5376 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5378 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5380 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5382 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5384 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5385 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5387 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5388 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5389 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5390 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5392 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5395 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5396 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5397 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5398 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5401 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5402 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5403 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5406 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5407 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5408 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5409 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5410 installed as `perl').
5411 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5413 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5414 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5416 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5417 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5418 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5419 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5420 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5423 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5426 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5427 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5428 is horrible: I feel ill....
5431 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5432 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5433 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5434 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5437 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5438 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5440 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5441 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5442 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5443 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5445 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5446 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5447 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5448 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5449 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5450 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5452 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5454 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5455 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5457 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5458 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5460 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5463 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5464 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5468 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5469 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5470 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5471 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5472 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5473 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5474 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5475 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5476 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5477 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5478 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5480 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5483 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5484 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5485 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5486 for linking it into DSOs.
5487 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5489 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5493 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5494 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5495 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5496 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5497 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5500 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5501 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5502 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5503 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5504 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5505 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5506 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5508 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5509 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5510 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5514 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5515 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5516 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5517 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5520 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5521 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5522 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5523 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5524 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5528 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5529 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5530 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5531 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5532 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5534 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5535 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5536 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5538 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5539 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5541 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5542 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5543 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5544 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5545 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5548 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5549 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5550 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5551 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5552 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5553 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5554 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5557 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5559 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5560 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5563 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5564 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5566 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5567 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5570 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5571 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5572 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5573 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5574 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5576 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5577 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5578 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5579 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5580 no way to reconfigure them.
5581 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5582 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5583 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5584 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5585 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5586 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5588 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5589 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5590 recognized by the users.
5591 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5593 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5594 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5595 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5596 already masked variable.
5597 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5599 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5600 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5602 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5603 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5604 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5605 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5607 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5608 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5609 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5611 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5612 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5613 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5614 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5615 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5616 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5617 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5618 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5620 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5622 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5623 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5624 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5626 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5627 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5631 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5632 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5634 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5635 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5636 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5637 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5640 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5643 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5644 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5646 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5649 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5650 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5653 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5654 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5657 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5658 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5659 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5660 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5661 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5662 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5663 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5666 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5667 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5669 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5670 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5671 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5672 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5673 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5675 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5676 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5677 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5680 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5681 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5685 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5686 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5687 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5689 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5690 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5691 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5695 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5696 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5697 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5698 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5701 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5702 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5703 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5704 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5707 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5708 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5709 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5710 so it wasn't spotted.
5711 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5713 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5714 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5715 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5716 vectors if you have them.
5719 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5720 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5723 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5724 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5725 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5726 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5728 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5729 it will update them.
5732 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5733 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5734 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5735 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5736 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5737 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5738 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5739 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5741 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5742 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5743 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5744 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5745 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5746 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5747 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5748 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5749 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5750 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5752 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5753 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5754 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5755 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5756 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5759 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5763 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5764 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5766 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5767 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5769 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5770 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5773 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5774 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5776 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5777 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5779 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5782 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5786 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5787 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5788 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5789 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5791 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5794 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5797 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5800 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5801 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5804 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5805 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5809 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5810 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5813 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5814 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5815 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5818 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5819 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5820 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5821 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5822 properly to be processed.
5825 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5826 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5827 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5830 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
5831 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
5833 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
5834 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
5835 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
5836 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
5837 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
5838 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
5839 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
5840 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
5841 or delete all the .err files.
5844 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5845 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5846 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5847 to regenerate it if needed.
5848 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5849 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5851 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5852 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5854 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5855 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5856 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5857 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5858 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5861 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5862 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5864 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5865 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5867 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5868 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5869 error, but didn't set one).
5870 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5872 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5875 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5876 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5879 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5880 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5882 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5883 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5884 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5885 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5886 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5887 OID is not part of the table.
5890 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5891 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5894 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5897 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5898 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5902 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5903 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5905 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5907 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5909 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5910 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5912 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5913 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5915 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
5916 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5918 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
5919 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
5922 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
5923 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
5926 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
5927 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5929 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
5930 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5932 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
5933 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5935 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
5936 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5938 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
5939 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
5940 unused in the certificate verification process.
5941 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5943 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
5944 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
5947 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
5948 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
5949 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
5951 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
5952 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
5953 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
5954 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
5955 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
5957 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
5958 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
5961 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
5964 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
5967 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
5968 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
5970 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
5973 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
5976 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
5979 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
5980 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
5981 other error libraries.
5984 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
5987 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
5988 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
5992 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
5993 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
5994 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
5995 the new set of documenation files.
5996 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5998 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
5999 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6000 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6001 number of arguments.
6002 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6004 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6007 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6008 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6009 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6011 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6014 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6018 unixware-2.0-pentium
6022 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6023 before they are needed.
6026 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6030 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6032 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6033 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6034 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6036 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6039 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6040 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6041 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6043 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6044 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6045 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6047 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6048 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6049 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6051 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6052 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6054 *) Updated the README file.
6055 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6057 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6058 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6059 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6061 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6062 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6063 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6065 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6066 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6067 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6068 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6069 o removed obsolete TODO file
6070 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6071 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6073 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6074 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6075 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
6076 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
6077 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
6078 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6079 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6081 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6084 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6085 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6086 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6088 [The OpenSSL Project]
6091 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6093 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6096 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6099 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6100 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6103 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6104 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6108 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6110 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6112 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6115 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6118 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6121 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6124 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6127 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6130 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6133 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6136 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6139 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
6142 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
6145 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
6148 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
6151 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
6154 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
6157 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
6160 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
6163 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
6164 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
6165 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6168 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
6169 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
6172 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
6175 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
6178 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
6179 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
6182 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
6185 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
6188 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
6189 bytes sent in the client random.
