5 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
8 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
9 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
10 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
13 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
17 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
18 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
20 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
22 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
23 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
24 other than a simple chain.
25 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
27 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
28 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
29 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
30 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
33 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
34 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
35 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
36 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
37 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
38 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
39 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
40 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
41 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
43 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
44 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
45 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
46 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
47 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
48 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
50 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
52 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
53 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
56 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
57 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
60 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
62 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
64 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
65 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
66 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
67 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
69 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
70 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
71 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
72 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
74 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
75 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
76 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
79 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
80 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
84 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
85 to handle some structures.
88 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
90 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
92 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
95 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
98 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
101 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
102 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
106 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
108 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
110 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
112 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
115 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
116 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
117 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
118 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
120 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
121 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
123 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
124 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
127 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
128 s_client and s_server.
131 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
132 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
134 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
135 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
137 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
138 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
139 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
140 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
141 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
144 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
146 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server recieved
147 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386)
148 [Bodo Moeller, discovered by Alex Lam]
150 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
151 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
154 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
155 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
156 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
157 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
159 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
160 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
162 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
164 *) Various precautionary measures:
166 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
168 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
169 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
170 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
172 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
173 outside the expected range.
175 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
178 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
180 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
181 the load fails. Useful for distros.
182 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
184 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
187 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
190 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
192 This work was sponsored by Logica.
195 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
196 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
197 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
199 This work was sponsored by Logica.
202 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
203 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
204 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
208 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
210 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
211 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
212 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
213 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
215 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
216 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
219 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
221 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
222 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
223 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
225 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
227 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
228 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
229 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
230 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
233 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
234 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
235 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
236 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
237 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
238 invalid read after the end of 'db').
239 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
241 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
243 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
244 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
245 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
246 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
247 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
249 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
250 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
252 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
253 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
254 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
255 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
256 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
258 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
260 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
261 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
262 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
263 sets may exist with different names.
266 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
267 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
268 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
269 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
270 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
271 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
272 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
273 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
274 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
276 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
278 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
279 implemention in the following ways:
281 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
284 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
285 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
286 ignored for embedded content.
288 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
289 with the enable-cms configuration option.
292 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
293 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
294 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
295 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
297 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
298 uncompresses any data passed through it.
301 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
302 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
305 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
306 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
307 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
308 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
309 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
310 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
314 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
315 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
316 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
320 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
321 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
322 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
323 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
324 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
325 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
326 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
327 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
329 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
330 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
331 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
332 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
333 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
334 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
335 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
337 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
338 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
339 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
340 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
341 to s_client and s_server.
344 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
347 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
348 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
349 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
350 + Fix ia64 assembler code
351 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
353 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
355 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
356 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
357 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
358 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
359 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
360 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
361 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
362 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
365 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
366 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
367 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
370 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
371 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
372 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
375 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
376 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
379 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
380 protection in servers so again support should be possible
381 with no application modification.
383 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
384 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
386 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
387 or server extensions to be examined.
389 This work was sponsored by Google.
392 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
393 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
394 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
395 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
396 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
397 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
398 server_name extension.
400 New functions (subject to change):
403 SSL_get_servername_type()
406 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
408 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
409 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
410 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
411 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
412 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
414 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
416 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
417 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
418 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
419 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
420 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
421 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
424 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
426 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
429 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
432 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
433 (which previously caused an internal error).
436 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
439 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
440 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
442 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
443 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
444 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
446 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
447 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
448 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
449 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
451 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
452 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
453 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
456 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
457 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
458 information. For detailed background information, see
459 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
460 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
461 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
462 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
463 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
464 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
465 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
466 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
467 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
468 remove a conditional branch.
470 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
471 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
472 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
473 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
474 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
475 remains as a deprecated alias.
477 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
478 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
479 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
480 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
482 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
483 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
484 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
485 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
486 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
487 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
488 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
489 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
491 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
493 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
494 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
495 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
496 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
497 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
498 with applications using a single external cache for quite
499 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
500 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
501 in a different context.
504 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
505 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
506 authentication-only ciphersuites.
509 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
510 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
511 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
513 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
515 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
516 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
517 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
518 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
519 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
522 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
523 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
524 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
525 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
526 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
527 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
530 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
531 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
532 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
533 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
534 message has informed the client about his choice.)
537 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
538 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
540 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
541 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
542 Improve header file function name parsing.
545 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
546 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
549 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
551 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
552 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
553 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
555 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
556 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
558 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
559 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
561 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
562 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
563 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
565 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
566 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
567 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
568 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
569 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
570 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
571 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
572 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
573 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
575 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
576 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
577 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
578 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
579 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
581 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
582 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
583 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
584 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
585 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
586 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
587 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
588 multiple values to extend the available space.
592 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
594 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
595 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
597 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
600 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
601 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
602 undesirable limitations.

605 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
606 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
607 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
608 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
609 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
610 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
611 to avoid potential handshake problems.
614 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
616 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
617 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
618 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
620 The latter two were purportedly from
621 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
624 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
625 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
626 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
629 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
630 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
633 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
634 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
635 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
636 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
638 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
639 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
640 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
643 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
644 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
645 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
646 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
647 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
648 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
651 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
653 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
654 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
657 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
658 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
660 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
661 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
662 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
663 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
666 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
667 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
670 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
671 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
672 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
673 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
674 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
675 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
676 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
680 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
681 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
682 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
683 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
686 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
687 under VC++ build system.
690 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
691 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
694 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
696 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
697 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
698 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
699 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
700 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
702 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
703 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
704 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
706 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
709 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
710 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
713 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
714 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
716 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
719 *) Extended Windows CE support.
720 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
722 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
723 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
726 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
727 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
731 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
733 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
736 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
739 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
740 key into the same file any more.
743 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
746 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
747 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
749 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
750 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
753 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
754 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
755 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
756 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
757 this only applies when building 'shared'.
758 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
760 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
761 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
762 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
765 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
766 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
767 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
768 - add new function for parameter creation
769 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
770 BN_BLINDING parameters
771 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
772 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
773 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
777 *) Add support for DTLS.
778 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
780 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
781 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
784 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
785 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
788 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
789 the apps/openssl applications.
792 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
793 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
794 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
797 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
798 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
800 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
801 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
803 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
804 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
805 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
806 avoid this algorithm.)
810 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
811 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
812 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
815 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
816 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
819 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
820 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
821 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
824 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
826 The blank line is mandatory.
830 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
831 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
835 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
836 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
838 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
839 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
840 to support policy checking and print out.
843 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
844 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
845 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
846 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
848 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
851 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
852 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
854 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
855 implementation contributed by IBM.
856 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
858 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
859 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
860 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
861 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
863 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
864 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
866 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
867 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
868 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
869 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
870 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
871 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
874 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
875 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
876 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
877 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
878 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
879 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
880 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
883 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
886 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
887 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
888 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
889 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
890 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
891 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
892 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
893 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
896 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
897 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
898 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
899 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
902 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
905 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
908 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
909 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
910 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
911 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
912 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
913 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
917 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
918 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
921 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
922 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
923 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
926 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
927 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
928 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
932 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
933 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
936 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
937 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
938 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
939 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
942 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
943 initialised value as BN_new().
944 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
946 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
949 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
950 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
951 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
952 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
953 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
954 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
955 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
956 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
957 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
958 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
959 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
960 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
961 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
962 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
963 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
965 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
966 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
967 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
968 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
971 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
972 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
973 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
974 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
975 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
976 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
977 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
978 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
979 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
982 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
983 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
984 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
985 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
986 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
987 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
988 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
991 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
992 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
993 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
994 these have been updated also.
997 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
998 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
999 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1000 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1001 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1005 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1006 structure of type "other".
1009 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1010 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1011 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1012 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1013 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1014 situation in the script.
1015 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1017 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1018 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1019 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1020 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1021 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1022 used as premaster secret.
1023 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1025 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1026 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1027 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1029 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1030 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1032 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1033 control of the error stack.
1036 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1039 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1040 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1041 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1042 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1045 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1046 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1047 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1050 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1051 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1052 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1056 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1057 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1058 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1059 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1062 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1063 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1064 the following flags are defined:
1066 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1067 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1068 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1071 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1072 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1073 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1074 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1078 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1079 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1080 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1081 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1082 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1085 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1086 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1087 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1090 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1091 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1092 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1093 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1094 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1095 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1098 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1102 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1105 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1108 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1111 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1112 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1113 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1114 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1115 default implementation more easily.
1118 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1122 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1123 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1126 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1127 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1128 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1129 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1131 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1132 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1133 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1134 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1137 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1138 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1142 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1143 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1144 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1145 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1146 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1147 scalar * generator).
1148 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1150 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1151 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1152 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1156 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1157 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1158 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1159 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1160 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1161 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1162 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1163 linker additions, eg;
1164 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1167 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1168 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1169 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1172 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1173 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1174 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1178 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1179 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1180 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1181 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1184 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1185 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1186 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1187 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1188 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1189 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1190 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1191 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1192 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1193 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1195 Example for using the new callback interface:
1197 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1201 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1203 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1204 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1205 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1206 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1207 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1208 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1213 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1214 available to TLS with the number defined in
1215 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1218 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1219 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1221 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1222 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1223 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1224 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1226 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1227 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1229 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1230 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1234 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1235 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1238 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1239 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1240 and a macro that behave like
1241 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1243 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1246 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1247 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1248 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1250 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1252 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1255 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1256 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1257 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1258 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1260 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1261 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1262 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1263 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1264 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1265 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1266 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1267 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1269 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1270 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1273 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1274 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1276 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1277 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1278 files while avoiding the low level API.
1280 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1281 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1282 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1283 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1285 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1286 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1287 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1288 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1289 instead of the low level API.
1292 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1293 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1294 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1295 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1296 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1299 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1300 down to the template encoder.
1303 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1304 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1307 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1308 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1309 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1310 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1312 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1313 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1315 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1316 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1318 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1319 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1322 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1323 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1324 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1327 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1328 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1330 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1331 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1333 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1334 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1337 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1341 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1342 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1343 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1344 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1345 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1346 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1348 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1349 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1352 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1353 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1354 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1355 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1356 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1357 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1358 various internal method names.)
1360 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1361 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1363 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1364 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1366 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1367 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1369 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1370 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1371 methods are undefined.
1373 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1374 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1376 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1377 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1378 length of the modulus.
1380 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1381 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1383 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1384 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1386 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1387 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1389 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1390 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1391 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1394 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1395 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1396 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1397 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1399 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1400 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1401 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1402 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1404 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1405 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1407 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1408 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1409 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1410 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1411 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1413 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1414 This applies to the following functions:
1419 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1420 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1422 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1423 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1427 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1432 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1434 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1435 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1436 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1437 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1438 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1440 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1441 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1443 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1444 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1445 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1447 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1448 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1450 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1451 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1452 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1453 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1454 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1456 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1458 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1459 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1460 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1461 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1462 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1463 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1464 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1465 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1466 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1467 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1468 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1469 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1471 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1474 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1475 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1476 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1477 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1479 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1480 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1481 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1482 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1487 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1488 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1489 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1490 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1491 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1493 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1494 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1495 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1496 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1497 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1498 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1499 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1500 adding different types of curves.
1501 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1503 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1504 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1505 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1508 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1509 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1511 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1512 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1513 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1514 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1516 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1518 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1519 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1521 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1522 library. Most notably,
1523 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1524 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1525 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1526 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1527 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1528 extracted before the specific public key;
1529 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1530 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1532 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1533 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1535 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1536 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1537 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1538 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1540 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1541 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1542 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1544 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1545 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1546 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1547 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1548 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1549 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1553 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1555 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1556 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1557 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1558 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1559 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1560 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1561 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1562 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1563 in a different context.
1566 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1568 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1570 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1572 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1573 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1574 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1577 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1578 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1579 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1582 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1585 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1586 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1589 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1590 run algorithm test programs.
1593 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1596 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1597 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1598 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1599 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1600 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1603 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1604 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1607 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1609 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1610 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1611 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1613 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1614 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1616 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1617 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1619 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1620 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1621 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1623 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1624 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1625 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1626 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1627 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1628 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1629 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1632 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1634 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1635 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1637 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1638 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1639 undesirable limitations.
1640 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1642 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1644 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1645 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1646 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1648 The latter two were purportedly from
1649 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1652 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1653 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1654 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1657 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1658 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1661 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1663 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1664 module in FIPS mode.
1667 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1670 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1671 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1672 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1673 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1676 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1678 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1679 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1680 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1681 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1682 the difference induced by this change.
1685 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1687 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1688 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1689 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1690 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1691 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1693 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1694 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1695 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1697 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1698 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1701 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1702 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1703 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1704 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1708 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1709 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1710 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1711 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1712 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1714 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1715 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1716 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1717 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1718 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1719 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1721 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1723 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1724 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1725 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1726 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1727 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1730 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1734 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1735 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1736 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1739 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1740 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1741 structures constant.
1744 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1746 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1749 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1750 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1751 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1752 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1753 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1754 some needed definitions.
1757 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1760 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1761 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1762 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1763 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1766 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1768 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1769 server and client random values. Previously
1770 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1771 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1773 This change has negligible security impact because:
1775 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1778 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1781 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1782 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1785 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1788 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1790 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1793 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1794 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1795 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1797 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1800 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1801 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1804 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1805 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1806 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1808 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1811 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1812 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1813 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1817 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1818 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1819 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1820 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1822 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1823 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1824 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1825 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1829 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1831 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1832 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1833 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1834 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1835 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1838 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1841 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1842 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1844 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1845 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1846 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1847 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1848 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1849 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1850 rather than being initialized to 1.
1853 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1855 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1856 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1857 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1859 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1861 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1863 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1864 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1865 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1866 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1867 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1868 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1871 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1872 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1873 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1874 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1875 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1879 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1880 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1881 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1882 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1883 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1886 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1887 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1888 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1892 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1893 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1895 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1898 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1900 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1902 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1903 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1905 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1907 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1908 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1912 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1913 exiting on the first error in a request.
1916 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1917 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1921 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1922 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1923 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1924 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1926 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1927 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1930 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1931 blocks during encryption.
1934 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1935 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1936 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1937 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1941 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1942 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1943 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1944 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1945 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1949 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1951 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1952 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1953 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1954 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1957 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1958 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1959 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1960 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1961 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1963 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1964 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1965 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1966 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1967 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1968 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1969 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1970 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1971 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1974 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1975 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1976 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1977 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1980 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1981 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1984 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1986 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1987 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1988 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1989 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1990 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1992 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1993 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1994 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1996 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1997 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1998 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1999 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2000 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2002 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2003 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2004 used by default when no-err is given.
2007 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2008 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2010 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2011 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2012 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2013 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2014 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2016 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2017 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2018 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2019 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2021 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2023 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2025 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2027 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2028 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2029 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2030 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2034 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2035 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2037 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2038 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2041 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2042 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2043 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2044 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2047 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2048 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2049 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2050 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2051 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2052 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2053 followup to PR #377.
2056 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2057 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2060 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2061 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2062 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2067 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2070 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2071 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2072 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2073 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2075 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

2080 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2084 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2085 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2086 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2087 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2088 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2089 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2091 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2092 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2093 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2094 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2095 have to be made anyway).
2098 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2099 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2100 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2103 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2104 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2105 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2108 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2109 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2110 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2112 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2113 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2114 edit numbers of the version.
2115 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2117 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2118 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2119 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2121 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2122 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2124 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2125 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2126 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2128 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2129 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2131 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2132 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2134 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2135 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2137 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2138 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2140 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2142 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2144 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2145 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2146 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2148 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2149 representations in a platform independent manner.
2150 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2152 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2153 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2154 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2156 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2158 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2160 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2161 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2163 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2165 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2167 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2168 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2169 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2171 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2173 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2175 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2176 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2178 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2179 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2181 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2182 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2184 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2185 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2187 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2189 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2191 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2192 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2194 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2195 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2197 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2198 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2200 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2202 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2203 the 0.9.6 release series:
2205 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2206 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2208 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2210 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2213 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2214 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2216 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2217 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2219 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2220 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2221 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2222 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2224 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2225 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2226 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2228 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2229 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2230 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2231 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2233 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2234 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2235 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2238 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2239 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2240 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2241 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2242 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2243 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2244 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2245 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2248 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2249 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2250 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2253 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2254 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2255 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2256 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2257 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2259 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2260 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2262 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2263 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2266 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2267 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2268 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2269 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2270 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2271 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2274 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2275 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2276 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2279 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2280 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2283 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2284 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2285 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2286 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2287 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2288 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2289 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2292 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2293 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2294 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2295 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2296 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2297 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2300 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2301 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2302 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2303 declaration has been changed from
2306 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2307 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2308 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2309 has been changed into
2310 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2312 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2313 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2314 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2316 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2317 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2319 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2320 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2321 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2322 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2323 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2324 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2325 always load it have also been added.
2328 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2329 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2330 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2332 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2334 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2335 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2336 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2338 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2339 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2340 command line option can be used to specify an
2344 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2345 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2348 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2349 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2350 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2353 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2354 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2355 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2356 to work with the new engine framework.
2357 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2359 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2360 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2361 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2362 to work with the new engine framework.
2365 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2366 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2367 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2369 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2370 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2372 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2373 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2374 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2375 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2377 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2379 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2380 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2382 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2383 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2385 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2386 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2387 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2390 *) Add new functions
2392 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2393 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2394 These are similar to
2397 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2398 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2399 still in the error queue.
2400 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2402 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2404 default_algorithms = ALL
2405 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2408 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2411 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2414 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2415 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2416 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2417 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2419 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2420 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2422 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2423 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2425 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2426 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2429 *) New functions/macros
2431 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2432 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2433 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2434 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2436 to request calling a callback function
2438 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2439 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2441 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2442 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2443 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2444 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2445 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2446 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2447 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2448 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2449 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2450 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2452 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2453 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2456 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2457 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2458 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2459 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2460 the configuration scripts.
2462 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2463 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2464 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2466 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2467 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2469 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2470 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2471 when reusing an existing buffer.
2474 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2475 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2478 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2479 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2482 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2483 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2484 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2485 has the same effect.
2486 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2488 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2489 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2490 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2491 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2492 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2493 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2496 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2497 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2498 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2499 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2501 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2502 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2503 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2504 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2506 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2507 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2510 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2511 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2512 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2513 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2514 default), and then completely removed.
2517 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2518 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2519 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2520 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2521 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2522 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2523 particular extension is supported.
2526 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2527 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2530 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2531 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2532 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2533 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2534 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2535 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2536 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2537 requires the destination to be valid.
2539 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2540 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2543 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2544 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2545 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2548 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2549 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2551 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2552 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2553 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2554 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2555 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2556 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2557 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2558 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2559 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2560 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2561 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2562 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2563 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2564 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2565 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2566 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2567 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2568 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2569 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2573 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2576 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2577 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2578 become part of libeay.num as well.
2581 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2582 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2583 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2584 false once a handshake has been completed.
2585 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2586 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2587 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2588 client has followed the request.)
2591 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2592 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2593 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2594 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2596 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2597 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2598 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2601 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2604 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2605 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2606 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2609 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2610 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2613 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2614 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2615 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2616 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2619 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2620 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2621 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2622 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2623 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2624 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2627 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2628 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2629 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2630 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2631 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2632 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2633 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2634 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2637 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2638 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2641 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2644 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2645 md_data void pointer.
2648 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2649 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2650 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2651 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2652 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2653 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2656 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2657 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2658 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2659 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2660 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2661 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2662 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2663 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2664 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2665 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2666 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2667 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2668 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2669 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2670 rather than letting it slide.
2672 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2673 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2674 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2677 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2678 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2679 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2680 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2681 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2682 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2683 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2684 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2685 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2688 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2689 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2690 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2691 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2692 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2694 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2697 *) Add EVP test program.
2700 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2703 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2704 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2705 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2706 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2707 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2710 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2711 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2712 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2713 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2714 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2715 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2716 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2718 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2719 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2720 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2725 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2726 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2727 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2728 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2729 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2733 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2734 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2735 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2736 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2739 des_key_schedule ks;
2741 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2742 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2744 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2747 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2748 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2749 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2750 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2751 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2752 functions prevents this.
2755 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2758 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2759 correct _ecb suffix.
2762 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2763 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2764 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2765 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2766 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2769 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2772 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2773 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2774 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2775 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2777 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2778 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2780 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2781 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2782 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2783 via Richard Levitte]
2785 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2786 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2787 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2788 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2791 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2794 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2795 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2809 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2810 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2812 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2813 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2814 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2815 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2816 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2817 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2820 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2821 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2824 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2825 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2826 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2827 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2829 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2830 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2831 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2832 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2833 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2834 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2838 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2839 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2840 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2841 and interrupts/cancellations.
2844 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2845 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2848 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2849 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2850 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2852 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2853 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2857 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2858 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2859 than this minimum value is recommended.
2862 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2863 that are easily reachable.
2866 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2867 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2869 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2871 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2872 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2873 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2874 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2877 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2878 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2879 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2882 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2883 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2884 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2885 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2886 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2887 internally such as S/MIME.
2889 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2890 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2891 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2893 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2897 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2898 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2899 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2900 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2902 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2904 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2906 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2907 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2908 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2912 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2913 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2914 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2915 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2916 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2917 a window system and the like.
2920 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2921 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2924 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2925 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2926 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2927 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2928 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2929 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2930 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2931 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2932 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2936 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2937 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2941 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2942 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2943 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2944 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2945 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2946 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2947 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2948 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2951 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2952 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2953 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2954 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2955 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2956 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2957 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2958 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2959 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2960 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2961 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2962 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2963 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2964 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2965 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2966 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2967 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2970 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2971 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2972 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2973 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2974 internal engine_int.h header.
2977 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2978 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2979 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2980 modify their own ones).
2983 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2984 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2985 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2986 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2987 later on via ctrl() commands.
2988 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2989 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2990 structural references.
2991 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2992 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2993 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2994 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2995 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2996 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2997 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2998 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2999 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3000 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3001 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3002 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3005 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3006 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3007 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3008 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3009 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3010 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3011 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3012 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3015 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3016 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3019 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3020 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3023 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3024 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3025 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3026 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3027 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3028 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3029 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3032 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3033 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3034 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3035 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3036 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3038 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3039 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3043 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3045 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3046 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3047 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3049 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3050 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3052 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3053 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3054 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3056 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3057 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3059 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3060 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3062 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3064 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3065 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3066 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3069 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3070 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3073 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3074 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3075 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3076 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3077 is 40 of more characters long.
3080 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3081 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3085 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3086 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3089 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3090 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3094 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3096 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3097 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3100 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3102 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3103 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3104 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3106 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3107 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3109 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3112 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3116 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3117 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3118 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3119 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3121 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3123 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3124 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3126 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3127 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3128 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3129 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3130 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3131 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3133 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3134 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3136 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3137 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3139 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3140 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3142 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3143 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3144 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3145 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3147 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3148 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3150 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3151 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3153 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3154 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3155 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3156 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3157 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3160 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3161 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3162 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3163 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3166 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3167 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3168 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3172 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3173 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3174 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3175 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3176 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3177 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3178 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3179 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3183 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3184 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3187 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3188 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3189 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3190 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3193 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3194 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3195 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3196 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3197 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3198 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3199 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3200 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3201 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3202 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3205 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3206 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3207 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3208 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3209 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3210 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3211 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3212 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3214 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3215 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3216 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3217 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3220 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3221 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3222 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3223 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3225 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3226 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3227 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3228 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3229 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3233 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3234 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3235 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3236 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3240 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3241 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3242 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3245 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3246 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3247 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3248 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3249 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3252 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3255 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3256 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3257 option to ocsp utility.
3260 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3261 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3262 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3263 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3264 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3265 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3266 the request is nonce-less.
3269 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3270 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3271 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3274 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3275 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3276 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3279 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3280 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3281 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3282 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3283 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3286 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3287 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3291 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3292 additional certificates supplied.
3295 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3296 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3300 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3301 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3304 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3305 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3306 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3307 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3308 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3309 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3310 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3311 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3312 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3314 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3315 request to response.
3318 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3319 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3320 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3321 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3322 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3323 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3324 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3325 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3326 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3327 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3328 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3331 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3332 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3333 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3334 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3337 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3338 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3340 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3341 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3342 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3345 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3346 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3347 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3348 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3349 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3351 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3352 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3353 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3356 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3357 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3358 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3359 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3360 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3361 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3362 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3363 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3365 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3366 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3367 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3368 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3369 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3370 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3373 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3374 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3375 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3376 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3377 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3378 printout format cleaned up.
3381 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3382 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3383 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3384 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3385 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3386 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3387 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3388 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3391 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3392 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3393 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3394 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3395 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3396 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3397 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3398 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3401 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3402 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3403 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3404 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3406 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3408 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3409 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3410 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3411 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3414 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3415 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3416 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3417 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3419 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3421 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3422 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3423 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3424 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3426 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3427 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3429 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3430 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3431 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3434 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3435 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3436 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3439 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3440 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3441 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3442 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3443 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3444 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3445 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3446 functions are provided:
3448 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3449 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3450 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3451 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3453 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3454 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3455 extended allocation function is enabled.
3456 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3457 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3458 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3460 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3461 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3462 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3463 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3464 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3467 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3468 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3469 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3471 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3472 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3473 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3476 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3477 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3478 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3479 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3480 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3481 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3482 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3483 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3484 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3487 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3488 provide utility functions which an application needing
3489 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3490 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3491 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3493 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3494 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3495 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3496 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3497 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3498 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3499 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3500 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3501 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3503 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3504 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3505 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3506 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3509 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3510 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3511 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3512 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3513 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3514 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3515 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3516 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3517 will be added elsewhere.
3520 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3521 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3522 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3523 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3526 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3527 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3528 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3529 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3530 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3531 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3532 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3533 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3534 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3535 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3536 to produce the required SET OF.
3539 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3540 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3541 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3544 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3545 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3546 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3547 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3548 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3549 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3552 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3553 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3554 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3557 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3558 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3559 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3562 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3563 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3564 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3565 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3566 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3569 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3570 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3573 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3574 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3575 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3576 certifcates and CRLs.
3579 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3580 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3581 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3584 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3585 entries for variables.
3588 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3589 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3590 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3591 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3594 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3595 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3596 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3597 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3598 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3599 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3602 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3603 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3605 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3606 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3607 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3610 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3614 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3615 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3616 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3617 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3618 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3619 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3622 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3625 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3626 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3627 for now but they will eventually go away.
3630 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3631 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3632 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3633 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3634 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3635 has also been converted to the new form.
3638 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3639 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3640 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3641 for negative moduli.
3644 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3645 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3648 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3652 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3653 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3654 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3655 type-specific callbacks.
3658 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3660 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3661 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3663 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3664 in sections depending on the subject.
3667 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3671 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3672 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3673 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3674 be handled deterministically).
3675 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3677 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3678 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3679 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3682 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3685 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3686 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3687 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3688 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3689 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3692 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3693 sign of the number in question.
3695 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3697 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3698 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3699 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3700 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3701 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3704 *) New function BN_swap.
3707 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3708 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3709 results on negative inputs.
3712 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3713 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3714 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3717 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3718 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3719 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3720 and add new functions:
3729 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3733 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3735 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3736 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3738 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3739 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3740 be reduced modulo m.
3741 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3744 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3745 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3746 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3748 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3749 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3750 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3751 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3752 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3753 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3758 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3759 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3760 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3761 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3762 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3764 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3765 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3766 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3770 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3773 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3774 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3777 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3778 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3779 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3780 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3784 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3787 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3790 *) Add the following functions:
3792 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3794 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3796 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3798 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3799 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3800 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3801 libraries unless it's really needed.
3803 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3804 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3805 declarations (they differed!).
3808 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3811 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3814 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3817 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3818 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3821 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3822 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3823 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3825 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3826 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3829 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3832 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3835 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3838 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3839 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3840 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3842 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3843 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3844 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3845 different shared library filenames on each system.
3848 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3851 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3852 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3853 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3855 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3858 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3859 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3860 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3861 binary backward compatibility.
3862 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3863 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3864 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3868 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3869 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3870 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3871 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3875 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3878 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3879 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3880 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3881 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3885 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3888 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3890 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3891 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3892 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3894 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3896 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3898 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3899 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3902 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3904 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3906 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3907 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3909 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3910 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3914 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3915 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3919 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3920 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3921 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3922 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3924 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3925 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3928 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3930 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3931 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3932 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3933 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3936 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3937 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3938 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3939 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3940 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3942 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3943 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3944 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3945 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3946 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3947 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3948 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3949 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3950 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3953 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3955 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3956 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3957 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3958 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3959 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3961 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3962 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3963 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3965 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3967 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3968 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3969 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3970 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3971 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3972 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3975 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3976 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3977 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3978 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3979 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3982 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3983 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3984 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3986 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3987 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3988 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3992 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3993 being properly terminated.
3996 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3997 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3998 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3999 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4001 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4002 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4003 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4004 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4005 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4006 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4007 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4009 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4011 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4012 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4015 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4016 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4017 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4018 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4019 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4020 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4021 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4022 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4024 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4025 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4026 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4027 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4028 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4030 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4031 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4034 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4036 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4037 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4038 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4040 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4042 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4043 and get fix the header length calculation.
4044 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4045 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4048 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4049 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4050 assertions could call abort()).
4051 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4053 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4055 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4056 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4057 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4059 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4061 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4062 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4063 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4066 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4070 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4071 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4072 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4074 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4075 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4076 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4077 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4078 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4082 *) Changes in security patch:
4084 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4085 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4086 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4089 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4090 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4091 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4092 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4093 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4095 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4097 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4099 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4100 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4101 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4103 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4104 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4105 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4107 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4108 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4109 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4111 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4113 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4114 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4115 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4117 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4118 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4120 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4121 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4122 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4123 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4124 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4125 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4128 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4129 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4130 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4131 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4134 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4137 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4138 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4139 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4140 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4141 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4142 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4144 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4145 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4146 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4147 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4148 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4151 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4152 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4153 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4154 BN_generate_prime().)
4156 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4157 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4158 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4162 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4163 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4166 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4167 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4168 when using non-blocking I/O.
4169 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4171 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4172 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4174 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4175 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4178 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4179 configuration for the versions before that.
4180 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4182 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4183 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4184 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4185 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4188 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4189 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4190 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4193 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4197 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4198 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4199 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4201 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4202 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4204 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4205 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4206 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4207 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4208 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4209 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4210 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4213 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4214 using a local variable.
4215 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4217 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4218 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4219 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4221 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4224 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4225 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4227 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4228 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4229 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4231 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4233 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4234 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4235 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4236 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4239 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4243 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4244 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4245 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4246 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4247 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4249 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4250 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4251 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4253 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4254 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4255 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4257 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4258 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4259 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4260 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4262 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4263 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4264 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4266 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4268 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4269 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4271 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4273 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4274 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4275 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4276 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4278 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4279 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4280 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4281 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4283 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4284 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4286 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4287 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4288 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4291 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4292 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4293 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4295 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4297 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4298 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4299 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4300 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4301 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4302 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4303 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4306 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4307 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4308 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4309 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4311 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4312 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4313 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4314 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4315 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4316 the client will at least see that alert.
4319 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4323 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4324 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4325 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4327 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4328 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4329 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4330 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4333 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4334 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4335 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4337 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4338 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4339 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4340 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4341 may leak via logfiles.)
4343 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4344 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4345 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4346 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4350 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4351 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4354 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4355 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4356 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4357 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4358 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4361 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4362 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4364 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4365 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4366 followed by modular reduction.
4367 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4369 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4370 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4373 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4374 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4375 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4376 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4379 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4382 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4383 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4386 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4387 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4388 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4389 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4390 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4391 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4393 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4395 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4396 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4397 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4398 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4399 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4401 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4404 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4405 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4406 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4407 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4408 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4409 to allow the necessary settings.
4412 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4413 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4414 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4415 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4418 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4419 dh->length and always used
4421 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4423 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4424 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4425 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4426 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4427 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4432 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4434 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4440 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4441 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4442 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4443 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4445 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4446 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4447 always reject numbers >= n.
4450 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4451 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4452 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4453 variable) is not atomic.
4456 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4457 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4458 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4459 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4461 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4462 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4464 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4466 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4468 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4471 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4473 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4474 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4475 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4476 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4477 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4478 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4479 to traverse all of 'state'.
4481 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4482 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4483 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4485 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4486 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4488 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4489 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4490 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4491 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4492 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4493 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4494 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4495 further strengthens the PRNG.
4498 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4501 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4502 an error message in this case.
4505 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4508 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4509 positive and less than q.
4512 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4513 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4515 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4517 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4518 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4522 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4524 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4525 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4526 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4527 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4528 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4529 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4530 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4533 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4534 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4535 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4536 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4538 Both problems are now fixed.
4541 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4542 (previously it was 1024).
4545 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4546 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4549 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4552 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4553 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4554 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4557 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4558 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4559 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4560 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4561 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4562 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4563 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4564 environment variables.
4566 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4567 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4568 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4571 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4572 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4573 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4574 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4575 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4576 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4579 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4583 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4585 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4586 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4588 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4589 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4590 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4591 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4595 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4596 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4597 amount of data available.
4598 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4599 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4601 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4602 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4603 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4604 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4607 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4608 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4612 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4613 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4614 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4615 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4618 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4621 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4624 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4625 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4627 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4629 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4630 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4631 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4632 (but broken) behaviour.
4635 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4637 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4639 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4640 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4643 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4647 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4648 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4650 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4653 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4654 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4655 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4657 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4658 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4659 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4662 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4663 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4666 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4667 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4669 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4671 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4673 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4674 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4675 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4676 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4679 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4682 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4683 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4684 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4686 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4689 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4691 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4692 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4693 but the code is actually correct.
4696 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4697 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4698 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4699 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4700 and leaves the highest bit random.
4701 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4703 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4704 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4705 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4706 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4707 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4708 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4709 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4712 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4715 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4716 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4719 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4720 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4721 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4722 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4726 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4727 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4728 and break the signature.
4730 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4732 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4736 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4737 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4738 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4739 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4740 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4743 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4744 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4746 *) ./config script fixes.
4747 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4749 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4752 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4753 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4754 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4755 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4756 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4758 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4759 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4762 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4763 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4766 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4767 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4768 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4769 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4771 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4772 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4774 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4775 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4776 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4777 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4778 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4780 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4783 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4786 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4789 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4792 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4793 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4796 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4797 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4798 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4799 result of the server certificate verification.)
4802 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4803 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4804 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4808 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4809 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4810 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4811 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4812 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4813 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4814 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4815 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4818 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4819 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4820 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4821 happening the other way round.
4824 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4825 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4828 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4829 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4830 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4831 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4834 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4835 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4837 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4839 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4840 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4841 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4844 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4846 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4848 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4852 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4854 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4855 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4856 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4857 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4858 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4860 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4861 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4865 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4868 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4870 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4871 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4872 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4873 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4874 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4875 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4876 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4877 by the Finished messages.
4880 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4881 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4883 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4884 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4885 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4886 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4887 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4891 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4892 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4893 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4894 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4895 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4896 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4897 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4898 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4899 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4903 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4904 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4905 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4906 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4908 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4909 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4910 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4911 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4912 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4915 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4916 been tested well enough.
4919 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4920 it can return incorrect results.
4921 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4922 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4925 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4926 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4927 include zero length content when signing messages.
4930 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4931 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4934 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4937 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4941 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4942 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4943 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4944 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4945 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4946 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4949 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4950 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4952 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4953 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4955 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4956 random number < q in the DSA library.
4959 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4960 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4961 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4962 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4963 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4964 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4965 just makes things more complicated.)
4968 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4972 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4973 work better on such systems.
4974 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4976 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4977 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4978 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4981 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4982 if there was more than one signature.
4983 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4985 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4986 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4987 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4988 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4991 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4992 rather than always using the current time.
4995 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4996 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4997 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4998 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4999 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5000 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5002 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5003 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5005 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5007 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5008 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5009 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5010 the same hash value.
5012 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5013 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5014 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5015 with X509_STORE internally.
5017 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5018 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5020 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5021 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5022 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5023 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5024 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5025 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5026 entirely (maybe later...).
5028 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5030 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5031 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5032 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5033 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5034 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5035 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5036 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5037 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5039 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5040 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5042 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5043 to customise the verify behaviour.
5046 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5047 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5050 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5051 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5052 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5053 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5054 request is improperly encoded.
5057 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5058 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5061 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5062 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5064 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5065 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5069 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5070 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5071 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5074 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5075 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5076 BIO/fp routines also added.
5079 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5080 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5082 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5083 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5084 demos/state_machine.
5087 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5088 generation and verification.
5091 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5092 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5093 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5094 encode and decode it manually.
5097 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5099 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5101 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5102 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5103 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5104 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5106 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5107 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5108 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5109 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5110 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5113 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5116 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5117 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5118 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5120 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5121 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5122 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5123 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5124 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5125 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5126 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5127 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5129 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5130 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5132 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5134 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5135 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5136 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5140 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5141 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5142 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5143 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5147 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5149 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5152 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5153 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5154 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5155 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5156 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5157 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5158 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5159 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5160 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5161 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5162 short or long names are found.
5165 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5166 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5168 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5169 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5170 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5171 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5173 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5174 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5175 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5176 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5179 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5180 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5181 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5184 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5185 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5186 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5187 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5188 to allow the various flags to be set.
5191 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5192 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5193 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5194 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5195 dates to be checked.
5198 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5199 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5200 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5203 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5204 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5205 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5208 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5209 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5212 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5213 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5214 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5215 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5216 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5217 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5220 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5221 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5225 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5229 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5230 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5231 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5232 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5233 form signing output easier to verify.
5236 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5239 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5240 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5241 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5242 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5243 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5244 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5245 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5246 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5247 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5248 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5251 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5253 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5254 the syntax given in objects.README.
5255 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5257 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5260 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5261 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5262 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5263 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5264 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5265 consistent name changes.
5268 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5271 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5272 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5273 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5274 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5277 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5278 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5279 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5283 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5284 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5285 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5286 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5289 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5290 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5291 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5292 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5293 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5294 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5295 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5296 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5297 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5298 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5299 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5302 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5303 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5304 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5305 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5306 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5307 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5308 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5309 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5310 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5311 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5314 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5315 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5316 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5317 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5319 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5320 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5321 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5322 omit any duplicate addresses.
5325 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5326 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5329 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5330 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5331 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5332 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5333 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5336 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5338 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5339 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5340 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5341 Free => OPENSSL_free
5344 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5345 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5348 *) CygWin32 support.
5349 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5351 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5352 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5353 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5354 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5355 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5359 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5360 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5361 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5362 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5363 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5364 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5365 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5368 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5369 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5370 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5371 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5372 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5373 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5374 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5375 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5376 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5377 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5378 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5381 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5382 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5383 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5384 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5385 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5387 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5388 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5389 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5390 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5391 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5393 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5396 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5397 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5398 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5399 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5401 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5403 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5406 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5407 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5408 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5411 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5412 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5413 any installed hardware versions can.
5416 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5417 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5418 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5422 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5423 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5424 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5425 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5426 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5428 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5429 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5432 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5433 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5436 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5437 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5438 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5442 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5445 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5446 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5447 but no ssl client purpose.
5448 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5450 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5451 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5452 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5453 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5454 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5455 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5456 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5457 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5458 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5459 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5460 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5463 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5464 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5465 be obtained from the error queue.
5468 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5469 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5470 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5471 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5474 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5477 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5478 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5479 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5480 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5481 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5484 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5485 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5486 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5487 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5488 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5491 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5492 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5493 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5495 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5497 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5498 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5499 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5500 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5501 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5502 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5503 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5504 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5505 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5506 or "the configuration storage API"...
5508 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5510 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5511 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5513 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5515 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5517 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5518 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5519 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5520 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5521 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5522 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5523 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5525 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5526 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5529 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5530 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5531 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5532 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5535 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5536 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5537 them in a portable way.
5538 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5540 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5542 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5544 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5545 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5547 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5548 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5549 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5552 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5553 was larger than the MD block size.
5554 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5556 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5557 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5558 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5559 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5563 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5564 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5565 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5567 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5569 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5571 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5572 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5573 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5574 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5575 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5576 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5578 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5579 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5581 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5582 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5585 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5588 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5589 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5591 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5592 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5593 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5594 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5597 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5598 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5599 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5600 does not suppress any output.
5603 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5604 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5605 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5606 with all the associated security issues.
5608 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5609 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5610 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5611 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5612 use the value in the default purpose.
5615 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5616 and fix a memory leak.
5619 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5620 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5621 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5622 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5625 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5626 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5627 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5628 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5631 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5632 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5633 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5636 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5637 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5640 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5641 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5645 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5646 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5649 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5650 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5651 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5654 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5655 number generation fails.
5658 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5661 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5662 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5664 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5667 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5668 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5670 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5671 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5673 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5675 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5676 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5679 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5680 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5682 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5683 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5686 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5687 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5688 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5689 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5690 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5691 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5693 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5694 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5695 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5699 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5700 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5701 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5702 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5703 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5704 counter, some don't.)
5705 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5706 counters or duplicate objects.
5709 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5710 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5713 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5714 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5715 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5717 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5718 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5719 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5723 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5724 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5727 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5728 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5729 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5733 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5734 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5735 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5738 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5739 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5740 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5741 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5742 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5743 should work without changes.
5746 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5747 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5748 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5749 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5750 must be defined. E.g.,
5751 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5752 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5753 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5754 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5756 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5760 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5761 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5762 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5765 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5766 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5767 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5768 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5771 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5772 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5773 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5774 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5775 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5776 is prompted for as usual.
5779 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5780 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5781 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5782 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5784 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5785 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5786 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5787 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5790 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5793 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5797 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5800 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5803 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5807 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5810 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5813 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5814 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5817 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5818 options to produce them.
5821 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5822 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5825 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5829 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5830 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5831 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5832 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5833 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5834 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5835 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5838 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5841 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5842 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5843 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5846 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5847 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5849 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5850 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5853 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5854 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5855 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5859 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5860 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5862 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5863 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5864 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5865 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5866 generation becomes much faster.
5868 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5869 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5870 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5871 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5872 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5873 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5874 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5875 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5876 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5877 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5880 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5881 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5882 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5883 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5884 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5885 trial division stage.
5888 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5892 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5895 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5898 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5899 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5900 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5904 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5905 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5906 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5909 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5910 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5911 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5912 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5914 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5915 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5918 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5921 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5922 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5923 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5924 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5927 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5928 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5929 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5932 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5933 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5934 (instead of parameters) in future.
5937 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5938 when a new cipher list is set.
5941 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5942 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5945 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5946 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5947 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5949 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5950 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5951 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5952 an error is flagged.
5954 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5955 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5956 the readability was also increased :-)
5957 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5959 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5960 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5961 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5962 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5966 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5967 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5970 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5971 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5972 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5973 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5976 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5977 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5978 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5979 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5980 because they handle more complex structures.)
5983 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5984 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5985 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5986 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5988 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5989 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5990 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5991 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5992 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5993 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5994 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5997 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5998 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5999 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6000 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6001 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6004 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6007 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6008 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6009 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6010 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6011 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6014 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6018 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6019 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6020 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6021 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6024 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6027 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6028 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6029 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6030 international characters are used.
6032 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6033 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6034 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6038 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6039 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6040 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6043 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6044 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6045 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6046 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6047 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6048 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6050 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6051 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6052 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6053 be handled by the string table functions.
6055 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6056 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6057 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6058 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6059 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6063 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6064 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6065 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6066 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6067 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6069 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6070 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6071 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6072 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6075 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6076 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6077 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6078 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6079 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6083 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6084 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6085 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6086 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6087 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6088 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6089 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6090 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6092 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6093 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6094 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6097 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6098 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6099 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6100 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6101 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6102 support to pkcs8 application.
6105 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6106 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6107 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6108 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6109 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6110 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6113 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6114 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6115 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6116 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6117 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6121 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6122 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6123 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6124 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6128 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6129 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6130 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6131 and any application specific purposes.
6133 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6134 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6135 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6136 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6137 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6138 if the certificate is self signed.
6141 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6142 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6145 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6146 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6147 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6148 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6151 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6152 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6153 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6154 Update documentation.
6157 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6158 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6159 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6160 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6161 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6164 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6166 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6168 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6169 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6170 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6171 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6172 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6173 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6174 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6175 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6176 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6177 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6179 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6181 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6182 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6183 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6184 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6185 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6187 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6188 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6189 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6190 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6191 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6192 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6193 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6194 request additional information:
6195 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6196 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6198 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6199 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6200 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6203 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6204 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6207 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6210 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6211 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6213 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6214 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6215 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6219 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6220 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6221 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6223 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6224 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6225 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6226 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6227 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6228 included in OpenSSL.
6231 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6232 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6233 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6234 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6235 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6236 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6239 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6243 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6244 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6245 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6246 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6247 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6251 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6255 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6256 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6257 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6258 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6259 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6260 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6261 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6262 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6263 be maintained manually.
6265 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6266 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6267 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6268 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6269 work because people forget to call this function]
6270 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6271 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6272 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6275 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6276 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6277 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6278 should be discouraged from doing it.
6281 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6282 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6283 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6284 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6285 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6286 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6289 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6290 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6291 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6293 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6294 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6295 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6297 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6298 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6299 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6300 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6301 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6302 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6304 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6305 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6306 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6308 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6309 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6312 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6313 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6314 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6315 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6318 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6321 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6322 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6323 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6324 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6325 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6326 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6327 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6328 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6329 keys so we should be OK.
6331 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6332 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6333 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6334 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6335 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6336 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6337 stay in the name of compatibility.
6339 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6340 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6341 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6343 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6344 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6345 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6346 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6347 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6348 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6352 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6353 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6354 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6355 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6356 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6357 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6358 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6359 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6360 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6361 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6362 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6363 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6364 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6367 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6370 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6371 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6372 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6373 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6374 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6375 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6376 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6377 openssl verify ss.pem
6378 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6379 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6383 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6384 (and add it to external session representation).
6385 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6386 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6387 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6388 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6389 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6390 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6392 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6394 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6395 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6396 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6397 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6399 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6400 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6401 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6404 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6405 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6406 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6410 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6411 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6412 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6414 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6415 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6416 certificate auxiliary information.
6419 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6423 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6424 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6425 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6426 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6427 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6428 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6429 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6432 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6433 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6436 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6437 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6438 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6439 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6442 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6445 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6446 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6449 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6450 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6451 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6452 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6453 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6454 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6455 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6456 using the new 'x509' options.
6458 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6459 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6460 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6461 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6465 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6466 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6467 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6468 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6469 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6472 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6473 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6474 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6475 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6476 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6477 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6478 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6479 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6480 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6481 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6484 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6485 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6486 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6487 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6488 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6489 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6490 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6493 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6494 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6495 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6496 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6497 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6498 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6499 openssl.cnf for more info.
6502 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6503 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6504 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6505 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6506 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6507 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6508 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6509 md should be large enough anyway.
6512 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6513 for handling the random seed file.
6515 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6517 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6520 x509 (when signing).
6521 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6522 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6523 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6525 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6526 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6527 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6528 that support '-rand'.
6531 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6532 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6535 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6536 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6539 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6540 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6541 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6542 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6546 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6547 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6548 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6549 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6552 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6553 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6554 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6555 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6556 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6557 print out all the purposes.
6560 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6564 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6565 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6566 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6567 single function call.
6570 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6571 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6574 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6575 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6576 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6579 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6580 when producing the local key id.
6581 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6583 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6584 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6585 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6589 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6590 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6591 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6592 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6595 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6596 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6597 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6598 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6600 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6601 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6602 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6603 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6605 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6606 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6607 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6608 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6609 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6610 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6611 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6612 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6613 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6614 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6615 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6616 trivial: move one line.
6617 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6619 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6620 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6621 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6622 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6623 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6624 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6625 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6626 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6627 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6628 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6629 with an event loop for example.
6632 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6633 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6634 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6635 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6636 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6637 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6638 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6639 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6640 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6643 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6644 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6645 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6646 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6647 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6648 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6651 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6652 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6653 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6654 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6656 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6657 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6658 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6659 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6663 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6664 (still largely untested)
6667 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6668 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6671 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6672 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6675 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6676 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6677 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6680 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6681 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6682 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6683 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6684 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6687 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6690 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6691 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6692 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6693 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6694 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6698 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6699 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6702 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6705 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6706 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6707 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6708 are otherwise ignored at present.
6711 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6712 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6713 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6714 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6715 copied until the next read.
6718 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6719 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6720 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6723 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6724 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6725 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6726 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6727 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6728 associated functions.
6731 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6732 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6733 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6734 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6735 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6736 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6737 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6738 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6739 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6743 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6744 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6745 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6746 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6749 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6750 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6751 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6752 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6753 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6757 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6758 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6762 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6763 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6764 extensions to be obtained and added.
6767 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6768 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6771 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6773 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6774 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6776 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6777 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6779 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6783 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6784 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6785 DH parameters contain its length).
6787 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6788 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6789 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6790 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6791 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6792 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6793 utter importance to use
6794 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6796 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6797 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6798 attacks may become possible!
6801 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6804 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6805 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6808 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6809 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6810 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6814 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6815 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6816 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6817 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6818 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6819 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6820 private key operations.
6823 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6826 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6827 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6829 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6830 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6831 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6832 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6833 the password callback is called.
6834 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6836 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6838 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6839 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6840 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6841 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6842 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6843 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6846 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6847 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6848 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6849 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6850 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6851 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6854 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6857 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6858 delete an unused file.
6861 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6862 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6863 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6864 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6867 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6868 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6869 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6873 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6874 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6875 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6877 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6878 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6879 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6880 comparison" warnings.
6881 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6884 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6885 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6886 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6889 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6890 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6892 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6893 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6895 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6896 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6897 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6899 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6900 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6901 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6902 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6903 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6905 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6907 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6908 The interface is as follows:
6909 Applications can use
6910 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6911 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6912 "off" is now the default.
6913 The library internally uses
6914 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6915 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6916 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6918 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6919 even the default) are now avoided.
6921 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6922 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6923 than just having a counter.
6925 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6927 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6931 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6932 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6933 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6934 Initial "mode" flags are:
6936 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6937 a single record has been written.
6938 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6939 retries use the same buffer location.
6940 (But all of the contents must be
6944 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6947 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6948 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6950 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6951 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6952 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6955 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6956 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6958 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6960 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6961 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6962 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6963 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6965 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6966 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6968 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6969 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6970 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6971 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6972 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6973 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6976 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6977 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6978 necessary function names.
6981 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6982 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6983 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6984 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6987 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6988 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6989 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6992 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6993 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6994 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6995 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6997 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7001 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7002 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7003 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7006 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7007 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7011 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7012 for the encoded length.
7013 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7015 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7018 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7019 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7020 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7021 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7024 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7025 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7026 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7028 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7029 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7030 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7034 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7035 to use the new extension code.
7038 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7039 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7040 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7044 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7045 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7046 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7050 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7053 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7054 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7055 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7058 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7059 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7060 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7061 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7064 *) DES library cleanups.
7067 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7068 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7069 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7070 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7071 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7075 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7076 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7079 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7080 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7081 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7082 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7083 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7084 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7085 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7086 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7087 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7090 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7091 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7092 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7093 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7094 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7095 value doesn't matter.
7098 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7102 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7103 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7104 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7105 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7107 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7110 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7111 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7112 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7114 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7115 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7117 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7120 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7123 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7126 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7130 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7132 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7134 *) Updated some demos.
7135 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7137 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7140 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7143 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7146 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7147 instead of using a fixed path.
7150 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7153 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7157 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7159 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7160 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7161 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7163 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7164 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7165 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7166 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7167 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7168 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7169 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7170 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7171 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7172 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7175 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7176 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7179 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7180 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7181 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7182 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7183 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7185 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7188 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7189 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7190 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7193 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7196 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7197 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7198 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7199 key elements as negative integers.
7202 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7203 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7206 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7208 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7209 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7210 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7213 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7214 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7215 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7216 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7217 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7220 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7223 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7224 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7225 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7226 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7228 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7229 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7230 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7232 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7233 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7234 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7235 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7236 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7237 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7238 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7239 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7240 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7242 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7243 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7244 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7245 does not influence s as it used to.
7247 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7248 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7249 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7250 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7251 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7252 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7255 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7256 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7257 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7261 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7262 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7263 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7267 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7268 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7269 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7273 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7274 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7277 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7278 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7283 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7284 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7286 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7287 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7289 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7292 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7295 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7296 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7298 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7299 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7300 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7304 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7305 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7306 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7307 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7308 now it really counts the depth.
7311 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7312 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7313 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7314 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7315 didn't match the private key).
7317 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7318 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7319 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7322 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7325 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7329 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7330 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7331 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7334 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7337 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7338 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7339 such as /usr/local/bin.
7342 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7343 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7345 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7348 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7349 extension adding in x509 utility.
7352 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7355 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7359 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7362 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7363 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7364 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7365 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7366 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7367 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7368 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7369 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7370 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7371 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7374 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7377 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7378 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7381 *) Fix some race conditions.
7384 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7385 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7388 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7391 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7392 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7393 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7394 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7396 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7397 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7399 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7400 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7401 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7403 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7404 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7406 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7409 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7410 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7412 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7415 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7416 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7418 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7419 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7422 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7423 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7426 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7427 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7430 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7431 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7434 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7435 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7438 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7439 support typesafe stack.
7442 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7443 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7445 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7446 old X509V3 handling code.
7449 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7452 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7455 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7458 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7459 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7461 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7462 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7463 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7464 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7465 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7468 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7469 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7470 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7471 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7472 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7474 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7475 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7476 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7477 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7479 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7480 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7481 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7482 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7484 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7485 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7486 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7487 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7488 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7489 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7492 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7493 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7496 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7497 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7500 *) Tweaks to Configure
7501 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7503 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7507 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7510 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7511 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7514 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7515 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7516 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7519 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7522 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7523 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7526 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7527 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7528 to library startup routines.
7531 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7532 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7533 codes along the way.
7536 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7537 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7538 objects to objects.h
7541 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7542 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7545 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7546 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7548 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7549 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7550 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7552 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7553 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7554 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7556 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7557 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7558 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7561 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7563 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7564 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7567 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7568 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7569 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7570 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7571 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7573 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7574 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7575 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7577 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7579 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7581 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7583 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7584 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7586 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7587 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7588 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7589 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7591 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7594 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7595 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7596 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7597 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7600 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7601 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7602 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7605 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7606 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7607 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7608 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7609 installed as `perl').
7610 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7612 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7613 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7615 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7616 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7617 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7618 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7619 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7622 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7625 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7626 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7627 is horrible: I feel ill....
7630 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7631 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7632 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7633 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7636 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7637 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7639 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7640 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7641 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7642 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7644 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7645 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7646 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7647 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7648 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7649 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7651 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7653 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7654 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7656 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7657 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7659 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7662 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7663 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7667 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7668 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7669 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7670 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7671 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7672 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7673 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7674 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7675 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7676 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7677 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7679 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7682 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7683 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7684 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7685 for linking it into DSOs.
7686 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7688 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7692 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7693 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7694 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7695 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7696 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7697 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7699 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7700 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7701 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7702 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7703 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7704 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7705 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7707 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7708 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7709 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7713 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7714 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7715 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7716 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7719 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7720 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7721 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7722 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7723 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7727 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7728 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7729 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7730 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7731 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7733 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7734 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7735 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7737 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7738 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7740 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7741 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7742 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7743 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7744 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7747 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7748 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7749 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7750 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7751 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7752 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7753 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7756 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7758 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7759 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7762 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7763 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7765 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7766 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7769 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7770 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7771 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7772 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7773 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7775 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7776 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7777 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7778 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7779 no way to reconfigure them.
7780 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7781 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7782 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7783 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7784 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7785 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7787 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7788 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7789 recognized by the users.
7790 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7792 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7793 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7794 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7795 already masked variable.
7796 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7798 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7799 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7801 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7802 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7803 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7804 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7806 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7807 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7810 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7811 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7812 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7813 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7814 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7815 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7816 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7817 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7819 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7821 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7822 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7823 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7825 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7826 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7830 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7831 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7833 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7834 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7835 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7836 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7839 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7842 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7843 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7845 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7848 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7849 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7852 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7853 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7856 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7857 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7858 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7859 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7860 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7861 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7862 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7865 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7866 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7868 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7869 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7870 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7871 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7872 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7874 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7875 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7876 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7879 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7880 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7884 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7885 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7886 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7888 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7889 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7890 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7894 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7895 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7896 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7897 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7900 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7901 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7902 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7903 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7906 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7907 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7908 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7909 so it wasn't spotted.
7910 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7912 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7913 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7914 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7915 vectors if you have them.
7918 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7919 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7922 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7923 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7924 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7925 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7927 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7928 it will update them.
7931 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7932 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7933 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7934 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7935 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7936 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7937 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7938 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7940 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7941 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7942 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7943 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7944 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7945 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7946 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7947 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7948 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7949 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7951 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7952 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7953 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7954 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7955 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7958 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7962 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7963 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7965 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7966 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7968 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7969 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7972 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7973 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7975 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7976 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7978 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7981 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7985 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7986 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7987 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7988 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7990 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7993 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7996 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7999 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8000 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8003 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8004 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8008 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8009 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8012 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8013 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8014 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8017 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8018 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8019 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8020 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8021 properly to be processed.
8024 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8025 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8026 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8029 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8030 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8032 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8033 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8034 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8035 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8036 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8037 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8038 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8039 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8040 or delete all the .err files.
8043 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8044 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8045 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8046 to regenerate it if needed.
8047 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8048 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8050 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8051 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8053 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8054 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8055 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8056 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8057 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8060 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8061 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8063 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8064 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8066 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8067 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8068 error, but didn't set one).
8069 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8071 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8074 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8075 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8078 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8079 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8081 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8082 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8083 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8084 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8085 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8086 OID is not part of the table.
8089 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8090 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8093 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8096 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8097 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8101 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8102 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8104 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8106 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8108 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8109 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8111 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8112 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8114 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8115 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8117 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8118 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8121 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8122 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8125 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8126 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8128 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8129 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8131 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8132 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8134 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8135 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8137 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8138 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8139 unused in the certificate verification process.
8140 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8142 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8143 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8146 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8147 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8148 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8150 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8151 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8152 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8153 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8154 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8156 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8157 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8160 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8163 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8166 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8167 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8169 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8172 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8175 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8178 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8179 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8180 other error libraries.
8183 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8186 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8187 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8191 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8192 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8193 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8194 the new set of documenation files.
8195 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8197 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8198 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8199 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8200 number of arguments.
8201 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8203 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8206 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8207 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8208 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8210 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8213 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8217 unixware-2.0-pentium
8221 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8222 before they are needed.
8225 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8229 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8231 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8232 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8233 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8235 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8238 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8239 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8240 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8242 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8243 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8244 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8246 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8247 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8248 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8250 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8251 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8253 *) Updated the README file.
8254 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8256 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8257 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8258 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8260 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8261 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8262 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8264 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8265 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8266 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8267 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8268 o removed obsolete TODO file
8269 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8272 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8273 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8274 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8275 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8276 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8277 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8278 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8280 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8283 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8284 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8285 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8287 [The OpenSSL Project]
8290 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8292 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8295 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8298 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8299 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8302 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8303 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8307 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8309 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8311 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8314 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8317 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8320 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8323 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8326 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8329 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8332 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8335 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8338 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8341 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8344 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8347 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8350 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8353 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8356 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8359 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8362 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8363 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8364 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8367 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8368 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8371 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8374 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8377 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8378 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8381 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8384 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8387 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8388 bytes sent in the client random.
