5 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
8 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
9 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
10 - add new function for parameter creation
11 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
12 BN_BLINDING parameters
13 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
14 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
15 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
19 *) Add support for DTLS.
20 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
22 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
23 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
26 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
27 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
30 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
31 the apps/openssl applications.
34 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
35 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
36 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
39 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
40 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
42 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
43 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
45 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
46 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
47 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
48 avoid this algorithm.)
52 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
53 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
54 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
57 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
58 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
61 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
62 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
63 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
66 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
68 The blank line is mandatory.
72 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
73 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
77 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
78 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
80 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
81 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
82 to support policy checking and print out.
85 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
86 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
87 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
88 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
90 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
93 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
94 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
96 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
97 implementation contributed by IBM.
98 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
100 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
101 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
102 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
103 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
105 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
106 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
108 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
109 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
110 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
111 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
112 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
113 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
116 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
117 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
118 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
119 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
120 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
121 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
122 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
125 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
128 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
129 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
130 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
131 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
132 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
133 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
134 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
135 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
138 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
139 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
140 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
141 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
144 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
147 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
150 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
151 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
152 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
153 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
154 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
155 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
159 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
160 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
163 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
164 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
165 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
168 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
169 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
170 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
174 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
175 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
178 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
179 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
180 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
181 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
184 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
185 initialised value as BN_new().
186 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
188 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
191 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
192 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
193 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
194 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
195 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
196 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
197 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
198 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
199 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
200 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
201 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
202 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
203 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
204 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
205 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
207 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
208 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
209 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
210 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
213 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
214 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
215 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
216 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
217 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
218 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
219 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
220 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
221 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
224 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
225 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
226 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
227 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
228 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
229 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
230 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
233 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
234 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
235 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
236 these have been updated also.
239 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
240 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
241 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
242 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
243 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
247 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
248 structure of type "other".
251 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
252 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
253 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
254 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
255 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
256 situation in the script.
257 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
259 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
260 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
261 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
262 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
263 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
264 used as premaster secret.
265 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
267 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
268 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
269 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
271 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
272 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
274 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
275 control of the error stack.
278 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
281 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
282 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
283 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
284 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
287 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
288 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
289 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
292 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
293 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
294 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
298 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
299 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
300 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
301 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
304 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
305 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
306 the following flags are defined:
308 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
309 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
310 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
313 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
314 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
315 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
316 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
320 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
321 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
322 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
323 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
324 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
327 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
328 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
329 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
332 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
333 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
334 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
335 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
336 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
337 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
340 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
344 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
347 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
350 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
353 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
354 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
355 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
356 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
357 default implementation more easily.
360 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
364 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
365 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
368 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
369 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
370 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
371 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
373 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
374 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
375 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
379 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
380 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
384 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
385 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
386 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
387 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
388 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
390 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
392 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
393 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
394 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
398 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
399 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
400 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
401 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
402 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
403 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
404 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
405 linker additions, eg;
406 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
409 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
410 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
411 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
414 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
415 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
416 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
420 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
421 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
422 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
423 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
426 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
427 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
428 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
429 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
430 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
431 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
432 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
433 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
434 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
435 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
437 Example for using the new callback interface:
439 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
443 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
445 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
446 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
447 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
448 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
449 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
450 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
455 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
456 available to TLS with the number defined in
457 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
460 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
461 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
463 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
464 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
465 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
466 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
468 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
469 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
471 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
472 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
476 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
477 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
480 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
481 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
482 and a macro that behave like
483 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
485 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
488 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
489 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
490 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
492 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
494 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
497 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
498 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
499 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
500 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
502 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
503 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
504 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
505 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
506 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
507 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
508 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
509 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
511 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
512 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
515 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
516 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
518 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
519 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
520 files while avoiding the low level API.
522 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
523 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
524 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
525 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
527 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
528 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
529 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
530 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
531 instead of the low level API.
534 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
535 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
536 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
537 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
538 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
541 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
542 down to the template encoder.
545 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
546 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
549 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
550 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
551 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
552 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
554 *) Add ECDH engine support.
555 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
557 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
558 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
560 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
561 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
564 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
565 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
566 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
569 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
570 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
572 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
573 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
575 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
576 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
579 EC_GF2m_simple_method
583 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
584 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
585 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
586 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
587 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
588 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
590 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
591 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
594 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
595 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
596 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
597 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
598 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
599 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
600 various internal method names.)
602 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
603 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
605 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
606 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
608 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
609 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
611 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
612 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
613 methods are undefined.
615 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
616 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
618 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
619 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
620 length of the modulus.
622 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
623 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
625 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
626 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
628 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
629 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
631 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
632 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
633 used) in the following functions [macros]:
636 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
637 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
638 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]

647 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
649 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
650 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
651 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
652 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
653 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
655 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
656 This applies to the following functions:
661 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
662 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
665 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
669 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
674 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
676 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
677 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
678 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
679 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
680 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
682 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
683 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
685 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
686 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
687 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
689 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
690 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
692 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
693 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
694 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
695 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
696 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
698 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
700 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
701 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
702 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
703 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
704 These control ASN1 encoding details:
705 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
706 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
707 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
708 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
709 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
710 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
711 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
713 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
717 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
718 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
719 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
721 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
722 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
723 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
724 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
731 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
732 EC_POINT_oct2point().
733 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
735 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
736 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
737 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
739 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
740 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
741 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
742 adding different types of curves.
743 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
745 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
746 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
747 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
750 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
751 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
753 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
754 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
755 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
756 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
758 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
760 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
761 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
763 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
764 library. Most notably,
765 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
766 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
767 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
768 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
769 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
770 extracted before the specific public key;
771 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
772 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
774 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
775 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
777 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
778 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
779 EC_get_builtin_curves().
780 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
782 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
783 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
784 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
786 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
787 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
788 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
789 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
790 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
791 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
795 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [XX xxx XXXX]
797 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
798 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
799 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
800 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
801 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
804 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
808 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
809 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
810 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
813 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
814 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
818 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
820 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
821 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
822 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
823 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
824 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
825 some needed definitions.
828 *) Undo Cygwin change.
831 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
832 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
833 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
834 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
837 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
839 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
840 server and client random values. Previously
841 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
842 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
844 This change has negligible security impact because:
846 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
849 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
852 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
853 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
856 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
859 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
861 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
864 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
865 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
866 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
868 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
871 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
872 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
875 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
876 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
877 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
879 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
882 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
883 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
884 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
888 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
889 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
890 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
891 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
893 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
894 has chosen to ignore this fault)
895 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
896 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
900 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
902 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
903 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
904 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
905 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
906 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
909 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
912 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
913 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
915 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
916 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
917 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
918 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
919 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
920 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
921 rather than being initialized to 1.
924 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
926 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
927 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
928 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
930 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
932 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
934 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
935 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
936 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
937 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
938 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
939 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
942 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
943 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
944 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
945 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
946 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
950 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
951 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
952 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
953 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
954 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
957 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
958 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
959 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
963 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
964 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
966 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
969 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
971 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
973 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
974 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
976 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
978 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
979 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
983 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
984 exiting on the first error in a request.
987 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
988 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
992 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
993 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
994 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
995 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
997 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
998 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1001 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1002 blocks during encryption.
1005 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1006 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1007 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1008 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1012 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1013 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1014 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1015 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1016 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1020 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1022 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1023 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1024 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1025 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1028 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1029 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1030 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1031 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1032 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1034 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1035 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1036 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1037 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1038 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1039 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1040 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1041 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1042 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1045 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1046 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1047 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1048 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1051 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1052 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1055 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1057 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1058 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1059 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1060 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1061 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
1063 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1064 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1065 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1067 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1068 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1069 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1070 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1071 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1073 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1074 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1075 used by default when no-err is given.
1078 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1079 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1081 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1082 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1083 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1084 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1085 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1087 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1088 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1089 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1090 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1092 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1094 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1096 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1098 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1099 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1100 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1101 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1105 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1106 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1108 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1109 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1112 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1113 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1114 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1115 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1118 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1119 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1120 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1121 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1122 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1123 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1124 followup to PR #377.
1127 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1128 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1131 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1132 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1133 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1151 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1155 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1156 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1157 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1158 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1159 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1160 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1162 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1163 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1164 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1165 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1166 have to be made anyway).
1169 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1170 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1171 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1174 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1175 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1176 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1179 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1180 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

1256 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1258 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1260 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1262 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1263 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1265 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1266 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1268 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1269 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1271 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1273 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1274 the 0.9.6 release series:
1276 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1277 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1279 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1281 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1284 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1285 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1287 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1288 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1290 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1291 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1292 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1293 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1295 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1296 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1297 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1299 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1300 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1301 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1302 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1304 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1305 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1306 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1309 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1310 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1311 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1312 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1313 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1314 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1315 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1316 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1319 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1320 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1321 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1324 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1325 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1326 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1327 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1328 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1330 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1331 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1333 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1334 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1337 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1338 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1339 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1340 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1341 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1342 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1345 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1346 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1347 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1350 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1351 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1354 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1355 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1356 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1357 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1358 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1359 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1360 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1363 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1364 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1365 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1366 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1367 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1368 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1371 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1372 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1373 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1374 declaration has been changed from
1377 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1378 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1379 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1380 has been changed into
1381 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1383 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1384 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1385 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1387 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1388 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1390 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1391 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1392 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1393 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1394 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1395 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1396 always load it have also been added.
1399 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1400 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1401 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1403 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1405 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1406 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1407 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1409 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1410 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1411 command line option can be used to specify an
1415 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1416 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1419 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1420 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1421 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1424 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1425 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1426 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1427 to work with the new engine framework.
1428 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1430 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1431 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1432 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1433 to work with the new engine framework.
1436 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1437 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1438 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1440 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1441 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1443 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1444 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1445 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1446 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1448 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1450 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1451 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1453 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1454 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1456 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1457 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1458 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1461 *) Add new functions
1463 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1464 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1465 These are similar to
1468 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1469 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1470 still in the error queue.
1471 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1473 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1475 default_algorithms = ALL
1476 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1479 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1482 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1485 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1486 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1487 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1488 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1490 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1491 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1493 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1494 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1496 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1497 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1500 *) New functions/macros
1502 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1503 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1504 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1505 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1507 to request calling a callback function
1509 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1510 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1512 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1513 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1514 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1515 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1516 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1517 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1518 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1519 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1520 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1521 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1523 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1524 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1527 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1528 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1529 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1530 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1531 the configuration scripts.
1533 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1534 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1535 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1537 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1538 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1540 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1541 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1542 when reusing an existing buffer.
1545 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1546 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1549 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1550 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1553 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1554 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1555 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1556 has the same effect.
1557 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1559 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1560 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1561 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1562 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1563 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1564 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1567 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1568 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1569 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1570 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1572 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1573 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1574 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1575 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1577 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1578 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1581 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1582 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1583 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1584 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1585 default), and then completely removed.
1588 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1589 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1590 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1591 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1592 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1593 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1594 particular extension is supported.
1597 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1598 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1601 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1602 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1603 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1604 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1605 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1606 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1607 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1608 requires the destination to be valid.
1610 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1611 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1614 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1615 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1616 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1619 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1620 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1622 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1623 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1624 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1625 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1626 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1627 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1628 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1629 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1630 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1631 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1632 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1633 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1634 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1635 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1636 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1637 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1638 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1639 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1640 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1644 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1647 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1648 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1649 become part of libeay.num as well.
1652 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1653 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1654 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1655 false once a handshake has been completed.
1656 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1657 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1658 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1659 client has followed the request.)
1662 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1663 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1664 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1665 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1667 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1668 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1669 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1672 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1675 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1676 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1677 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1680 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1681 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1684 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1685 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1686 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1687 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1690 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1691 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1692 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1693 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1694 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1695 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1698 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1699 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1700 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1701 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1702 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1703 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1704 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1705 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1708 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1709 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1712 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1715 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1716 md_data void pointer.
1719 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1720 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1721 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1722 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1723 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1724 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1727 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1728 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1729 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1730 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1731 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1732 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1733 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1734 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1735 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1736 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1737 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1738 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1739 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1740 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1741 rather than letting it slide.
1743 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1744 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1745 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1748 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1749 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1750 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1751 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1752 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1753 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1754 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1755 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1756 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1759 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1760 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1761 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1762 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1763 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1765 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1768 *) Add EVP test program.
1771 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1774 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1775 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1776 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1777 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1778 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1781 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1782 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1783 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1784 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1785 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1786 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1787 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1789 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1790 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1791 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1796 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1797 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1798 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1799 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1800 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1804 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1805 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1806 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1807 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1810 des_key_schedule ks;
1812 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1813 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1815 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1818 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1819 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1820 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1821 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1822 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1823 functions prevents this.
1826 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1829 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1830 correct _ecb suffix.
1833 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1834 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1835 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1836 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1837 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1840 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1843 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1844 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1845 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1846 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1848 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1849 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1851 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1852 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1853 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1854 via Richard Levitte]
1856 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1857 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1858 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1859 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1862 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1865 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
1866 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

1880 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1881 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1883 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1884 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1885 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1886 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1887 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1888 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1891 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1892 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1895 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1896 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1897 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1898 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1900 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1901 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1902 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1903 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1904 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1905 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1909 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1910 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1911 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1912 and interrupts/cancellations.
1915 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1916 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1919 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1920 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1921 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1923 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1924 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1928 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1929 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1930 than this minimum value is recommended.
1933 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1934 that are easily reachable.
1937 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1938 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1940 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1942 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1943 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1944 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1945 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1948 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1949 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1950 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1953 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1954 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1955 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1956 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1957 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1958 internally such as S/MIME.
1960 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1961 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1962 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1964 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1968 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1969 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1970 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1971 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1973 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1975 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1977 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1978 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1979 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1983 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1984 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1985 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1986 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1987 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1988 a window system and the like.
1991 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1992 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1995 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1996 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1997 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1998 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1999 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2000 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2001 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2002 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2003 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2007 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2008 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2012 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2013 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2014 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2015 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2016 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2017 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2018 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2019 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2022 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2023 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2024 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2025 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2026 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2027 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2028 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2029 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2030 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2031 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2032 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2033 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2034 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2035 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2036 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2037 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2038 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2041 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2042 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2043 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2044 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2045 internal engine_int.h header.
2048 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2049 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2050 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2051 modify their own ones).
2054 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2055 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2056 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2057 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2058 later on via ctrl() commands.
2059 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2060 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2061 structural references.
2062 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2063 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2064 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2065 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2066 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2067 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2068 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2069 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2070 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2071 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2072 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2073 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2076 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2077 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2078 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2079 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2080 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2081 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2082 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2083 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2086 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2087 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2090 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2091 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2094 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2095 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2096 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2097 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2098 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2099 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2100 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2103 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2104 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2105 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2106 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2107 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2109 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2110 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2114 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2116 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2117 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2118 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2120 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2121 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2123 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2124 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2125 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2127 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2128 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2130 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2131 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2133 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2135 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2136 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2137 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2140 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2141 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2144 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2145 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2146 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2147 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2148 is 40 of more characters long.
2151 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2152 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2156 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2157 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2160 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2161 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2165 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2167 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2168 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2171 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2173 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2174 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2175 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2177 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2178 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2180 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2183 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2187 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2188 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2189 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2190 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2192 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2194 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2195 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2197 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2198 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2199 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2200 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2201 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2202 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2204 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2205 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2207 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2208 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2210 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2211 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2213 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2214 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2215 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2216 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2218 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2219 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2221 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2222 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2224 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2225 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2226 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2227 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2228 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2231 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2232 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2233 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2234 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2237 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2238 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2239 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2243 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2244 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2245 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2246 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2247 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2248 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2249 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2250 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2254 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2255 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2258 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2259 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2260 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2261 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2264 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2265 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2266 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2267 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2268 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2269 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2270 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2271 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2272 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2273 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2276 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2277 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2278 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2279 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2280 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2281 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2282 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2283 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2285 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2286 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2287 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2288 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2291 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2292 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2293 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2294 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2296 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2297 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2298 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2299 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2300 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2304 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2305 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2306 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2307 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2311 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2312 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2313 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2316 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2317 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2318 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2319 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2320 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2323 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2326 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2327 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2328 option to ocsp utility.
2331 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2332 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2333 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2334 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2335 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2336 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2337 the request is nonce-less.
2340 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2341 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2342 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2345 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2346 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2347 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2350 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2351 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2352 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2353 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2354 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2357 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2358 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2362 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2363 additional certificates supplied.
2366 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2367 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2371 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2372 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2375 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2376 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2377 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2378 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2379 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2380 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2381 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2382 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2383 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2385 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2386 request to response.
2389 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2390 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2391 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2392 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2393 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2394 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2395 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2396 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2397 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2398 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2399 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2402 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2403 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2404 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2405 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2408 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2409 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2411 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2412 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2413 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2416 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2417 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2418 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2419 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2420 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2422 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2423 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2424 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2427 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2428 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2429 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2430 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2431 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2432 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2433 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2434 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2436 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2437 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2438 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2439 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2440 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2441 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2444 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2445 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2446 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2447 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2448 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2449 printout format cleaned up.
2452 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2453 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2454 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2455 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2456 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2457 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2458 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2459 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2462 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2463 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2464 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2465 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2466 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2467 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2468 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2469 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2472 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2473 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2474 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2475 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2477 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2479 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2480 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2481 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2482 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2485 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2486 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2487 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2488 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2490 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2492 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2493 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2494 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2495 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2497 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2498 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2500 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2501 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2502 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2505 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2506 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2507 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2510 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2511 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2512 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2513 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2514 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2515 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2516 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2517 functions are provided:
2519 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2520 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2521 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2522 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2524 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2525 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2526 extended allocation function is enabled.
2527 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2528 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2529 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2531 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2532 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2533 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2534 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2535 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2538 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2539 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2540 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2542 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2543 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2544 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2547 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2548 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2549 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2550 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2551 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2552 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2553 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2554 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2555 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2558 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2559 provide utility functions which an application needing
2560 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2561 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2562 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2564 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2565 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2566 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2567 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2568 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2569 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2570 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2571 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2572 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2574 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2575 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2576 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2577 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2580 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2581 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2582 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2583 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2584 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2585 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2586 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2587 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2588 will be added elsewhere.
2591 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2592 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2593 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2594 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2597 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2598 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2599 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2600 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2601 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2602 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2603 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2604 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2605 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2606 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2607 to produce the required SET OF.
2610 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2611 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2612 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2615 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2616 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2617 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2618 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2619 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2620 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2623 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2624 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2625 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2628 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2629 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2630 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2633 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2634 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2635 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2636 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2637 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2640 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2641 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2644 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2645 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2646 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2647 certifcates and CRLs.
2650 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2651 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2652 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2655 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2656 entries for variables.
2659 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2660 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2661 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2662 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2665 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2666 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2667 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2668 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2669 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2670 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2673 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2674 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2676 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2677 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2678 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2681 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2685 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2686 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2687 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2688 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2689 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2690 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2693 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2696 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2697 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2698 for now but they will eventually go away.
2701 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2702 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2703 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2704 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2705 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2706 has also been converted to the new form.
2709 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2710 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2711 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2712 for negative moduli.
2715 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2716 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2719 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2723 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2724 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2725 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2726 type-specific callbacks.
2729 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2731 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2732 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2734 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2735 in sections depending on the subject.
2738 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2742 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2743 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2744 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2745 be handled deterministically).
2746 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2748 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2749 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2750 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2753 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2756 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2757 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2758 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2759 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2760 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2763 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2764 sign of the number in question.
2766 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2768 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2769 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2770 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2771 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2772 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2775 *) New function BN_swap.
2778 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2779 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2780 results on negative inputs.
2783 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2784 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2785 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2788 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2789 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2790 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2791 and add new functions:
2800 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2804 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2806 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2807 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2809 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2810 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2811 be reduced modulo m.
2812 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2815 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2816 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2817 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2819 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2820 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2821 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2822 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2823 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2824 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2829 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2830 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2831 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2832 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2833 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2835 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2836 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2837 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2841 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2844 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2845 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2848 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2849 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2850 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2851 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2855 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2858 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2861 *) Add the following functions:
2863 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2865 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2867 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2869 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2870 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2871 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2872 libraries unless it's really needed.
2874 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2875 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2876 declarations (they differed!).
2879 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2882 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2885 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2888 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2889 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2892 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2893 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2894 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2896 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2897 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2900 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2903 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2906 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2909 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2910 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2911 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2913 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2914 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2915 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2916 different shared library filenames on each system.
2919 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2922 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2923 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2924 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2926 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2929 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2930 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2931 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2932 binary backward compatibility.
2933 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2934 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2935 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2939 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2940 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2941 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2942 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2946 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2949 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2950 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2951 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2952 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2956 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2959 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
2961 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2962 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
2963 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2965 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
2967 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
2969 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
2970 certain ASN.1 tags (CAN-2003-0851)
2973 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2975 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2977 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2978 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2980 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2981 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2985 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2986 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2990 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2991 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2992 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2993 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2995 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2996 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2999 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3001 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3002 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3003 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3004 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3007 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3008 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3009 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3010 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3011 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3013 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3014 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3015 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3016 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3017 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3018 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3019 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3020 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3021 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3024 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3026 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3027 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3028 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3029 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3030 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
3032 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3033 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3034 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3036 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3038 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3039 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3040 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3041 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3042 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3043 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3046 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3047 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3048 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3049 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3050 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3053 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3054 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3055 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3057 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3058 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3059 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3063 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3064 being properly terminated.
3067 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3068 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3069 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3070 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3072 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3073 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3074 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3075 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3076 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3077 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3078 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3080 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3082 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3083 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3086 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3087 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3088 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3089 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3090 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3091 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3092 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3093 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3095 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3096 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3097 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3098 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3099 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3101 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3102 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3105 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3107 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3108 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3109 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3111 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3113 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3114 and get fix the header length calculation.
3115 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3116 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3119 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3120 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3121 assertions could call abort()).
3122 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3124 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3126 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3127 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3128 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3130 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3132 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3133 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3134 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3137 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3141 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3142 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3143 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3145 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3146 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3147 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3148 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3149 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3153 *) Changes in security patch:
3155 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3156 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3157 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3160 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3161 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3162 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3163 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
3164 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3166 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3168 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3170 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3171 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
3172 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3174 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3175 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
3176 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3178 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3179 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
3180 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3182 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3184 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3185 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3186 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3188 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3189 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3191 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3192 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3193 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3194 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3195 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3196 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3199 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3200 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3201 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3202 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3205 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3208 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3209 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3210 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3211 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3212 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3213 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3215 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3216 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3217 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3218 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3219 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3222 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3223 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3224 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3225 BN_generate_prime().)
3227 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3228 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3229 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3233 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3234 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3237 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3238 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3239 when using non-blocking I/O.
3240 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3242 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3243 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3245 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3246 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3249 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3250 configuration for the versions before that.
3251 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3253 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3254 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3255 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3256 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3259 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3260 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3261 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3264 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3268 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3269 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3270 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3272 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3273 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3275 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3276 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3277 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3278 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3279 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3280 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3281 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3284 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3285 using a local variable.
3286 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3288 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3289 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3290 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3292 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3295 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3296 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3298 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3299 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3300 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3302 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3304 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3305 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3306 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3307 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3310 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3314 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3315 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3316 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3317 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3318 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3320 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3321 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3322 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3324 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3325 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3326 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3328 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3329 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3330 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3331 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3333 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3334 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3335 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3337 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3339 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3340 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3342 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3344 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3345 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3346 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3347 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3349 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3350 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3351 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3352 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3354 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3355 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3357 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3358 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3359 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3362 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3363 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3364 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3366 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3368 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3369 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3370 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3371 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3372 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3373 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3374 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3377 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3378 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3379 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3380 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3382 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3383 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3384 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3385 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3386 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3387 the client will at least see that alert.
3390 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3394 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3395 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3396 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3398 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3399 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3400 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3401 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3404 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3405 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3406 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3408 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3409 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3410 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3411 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3412 may leak via logfiles.)
3414 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3415 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3416 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3417 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3421 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3422 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3425 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3426 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3427 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3428 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3429 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3432 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3433 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3435 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3436 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3437 followed by modular reduction.
3438 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3440 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3441 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3444 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3445 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3446 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3447 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3450 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3453 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3454 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3457 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3458 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3459 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3460 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3461 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3462 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3464 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3466 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3467 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3468 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3469 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3470 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3472 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3475 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3476 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3477 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3478 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3479 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3480 to allow the necessary settings.
3483 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3484 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3485 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3486 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3489 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3490 dh->length and always used
3492 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3494 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3495 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3496 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3497 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3498 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3503 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3505 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1

3513 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3514 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3516 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3517 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3518 always reject numbers >= n.
3521 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3522 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3523 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3524 variable) is not atomic.
3527 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3528 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3529 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3530 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3532 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3533 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3535 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3537 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3539 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3542 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3544 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3545 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3546 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3547 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3548 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3549 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3550 to traverse all of 'state'.
3552 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3553 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3554 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3556 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3557 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3559 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3560 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3561 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3562 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3563 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3564 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3565 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3566 further strengthens the PRNG.
3569 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3572 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3573 an error message in this case.
3576 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3579 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3580 positive and less than q.
3583 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3584 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3586 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3588 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3589 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3593 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3595 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3596 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3597 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3598 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3599 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3600 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3601 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3604 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3605 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3606 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3607 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3609 Both problems are now fixed.
3612 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3613 (previously it was 1024).
3616 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3617 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3620 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3623 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3624 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3625 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3628 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3629 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3630 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3631 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3632 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3633 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3634 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3635 environment variables.
3637 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3638 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3639 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3642 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3643 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3644 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3645 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3646 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3647 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3650 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3654 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3656 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3657 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3659 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3660 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3661 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3662 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3666 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3667 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3668 amount of data available.
3669 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3670 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3672 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3673 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3674 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3675 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3678 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3679 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3683 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3684 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3685 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3686 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3689 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3692 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3695 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3696 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3698 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3700 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3701 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3702 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3703 (but broken) behaviour.
3706 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3708 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3710 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3711 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3714 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3718 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3719 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3721 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3724 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3725 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3726 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3728 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3729 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3730 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3733 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3734 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3737 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3738 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3740 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3742 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3744 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3745 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3746 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3747 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3750 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3753 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3754 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3755 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3757 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3760 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3762 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3763 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3764 but the code is actually correct.
3767 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3768 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3769 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3770 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3771 and leaves the highest bit random.
3772 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3774 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3775 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3776 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3777 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3778 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3779 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3780 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3783 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3786 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3787 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3790 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3791 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3792 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3793 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3797 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3798 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3799 and break the signature.
3801 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3803 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3807 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3808 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3809 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3810 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3811 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3814 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3815 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3817 *) ./config script fixes.
3818 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3820 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3823 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3824 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3825 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3826 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3827 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3829 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3830 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3833 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3834 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3837 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3838 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3839 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3840 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3842 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3843 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3845 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3846 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3847 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3848 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3849 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3851 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3854 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3857 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3860 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3863 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3864 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3867 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3868 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3869 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3870 result of the server certificate verification.)
3873 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3874 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3875 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3879 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3880 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3881 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3882 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3883 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3884 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3885 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3886 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3889 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3890 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3891 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3892 happening the other way round.
3895 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3896 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3899 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3900 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3901 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3902 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3905 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3906 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3908 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3910 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3911 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3912 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3915 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3917 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3919 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3923 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3925 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3926 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3927 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3928 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3929 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3931 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3932 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3936 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3939 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3941 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3942 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3943 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3944 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3945 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3946 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3947 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3948 by the Finished messages.
3951 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3952 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3954 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3955 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3956 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3957 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3958 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3962 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3963 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3964 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3965 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3966 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3967 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3968 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3969 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3970 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3974 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3975 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3976 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3977 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3979 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3980 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3981 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3982 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3983 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3986 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3987 been tested well enough.
3990 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3991 it can return incorrect results.
3992 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3993 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3996 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3997 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3998 include zero length content when signing messages.
4001 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4002 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4005 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4008 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4012 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4013 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4014 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4015 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4016 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4017 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4020 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4021 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4023 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4024 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4026 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4027 random number < q in the DSA library.
4030 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4031 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4032 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4033 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4034 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4035 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4036 just makes things more complicated.)
4039 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4043 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4044 work better on such systems.
4045 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4047 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4048 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4049 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4052 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4053 if there was more than one signature.
4054 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4056 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4057 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4058 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4059 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4062 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4063 rather than always using the current time.
4066 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4067 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4068 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4069 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4070 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4071 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4073 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4074 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4076 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4078 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4079 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4080 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4081 the same hash value.
4083 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4084 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4085 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4086 with X509_STORE internally.
4088 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4089 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4091 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4092 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4093 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4094 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4095 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4096 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4097 entirely (maybe later...).
4099 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4101 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4102 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4103 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4104 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4105 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4106 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4107 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4108 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4110 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4111 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4113 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4114 to customise the verify behaviour.
4117 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4118 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4121 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4122 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4123 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4124 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4125 request is improperly encoded.
4128 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4129 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4132 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4133 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4135 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4136 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4140 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4141 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4142 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4145 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4146 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4147 BIO/fp routines also added.
4150 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4151 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4153 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4154 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4155 demos/state_machine.
4158 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4159 generation and verification.
4162 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4163 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4164 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4165 encode and decode it manually.
4168 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4170 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4172 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4173 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4174 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4175 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4177 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4178 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4179 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4180 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4181 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4184 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4187 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4188 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4189 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4191 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4192 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4193 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4194 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4195 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4196 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4197 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4198 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4200 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4201 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4203 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4205 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4206 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4207 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4211 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4212 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4213 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4214 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4218 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4220 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4223 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4224 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4225 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4226 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4227 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4228 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4229 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4230 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4231 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4232 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4233 short or long names are found.
4236 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4237 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4239 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4240 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4241 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4242 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4244 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4245 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4246 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4247 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4250 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4251 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4252 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4255 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4256 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4257 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4258 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4259 to allow the various flags to be set.
4262 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4263 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4264 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4265 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4266 dates to be checked.
4269 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4270 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4271 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4274 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4275 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4276 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4279 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4280 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4283 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4284 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4285 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4286 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4287 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4288 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4291 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4292 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4296 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4300 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4301 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4302 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4303 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4304 form signing output easier to verify.
4307 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4310 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4311 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4312 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4313 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4314 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4315 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4316 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4317 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4318 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4319 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4322 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4324 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4325 the syntax given in objects.README.
4326 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4328 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4331 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4332 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4333 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4334 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4335 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4336 consistent name changes.
4339 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4342 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4343 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4344 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4345 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4348 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4349 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4350 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4354 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4355 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4356 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4357 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4360 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4361 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4362 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4363 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4364 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4365 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4366 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4367 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4368 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4369 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4370 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4373 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4374 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4375 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4376 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4377 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4378 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4379 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4380 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4381 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4382 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4385 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4386 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4387 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4388 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4390 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4391 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4392 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4393 omit any duplicate addresses.
4396 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4397 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4400 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4401 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4402 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4403 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4404 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4407 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4409 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4410 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4411 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4412 Free => OPENSSL_free
4415 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4416 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4419 *) CygWin32 support.
4420 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4422 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4423 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4424 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4425 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4426 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4430 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4431 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4432 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4433 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4434 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4435 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4436 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4439 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4440 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4441 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4442 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4443 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4444 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4445 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4446 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4447 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4448 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4449 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4452 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4453 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4454 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4455 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4456 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4458 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4459 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4460 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4461 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4462 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4464 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4467 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4468 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4469 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4470 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4472 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4474 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4477 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4478 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4479 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4482 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4483 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4484 any installed hardware versions can.
4487 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4488 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4489 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4493 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4494 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4495 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4496 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4497 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4499 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4500 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4503 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4504 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4507 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4508 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4509 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4513 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4516 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4517 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4518 but no ssl client purpose.
4519 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4521 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4522 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4523 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4524 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4525 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4526 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4527 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4528 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4529 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4530 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4531 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4534 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4535 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4536 be obtained from the error queue.
4539 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4540 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4541 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4542 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4545 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4548 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4549 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4550 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4551 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4552 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4555 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4556 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4557 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4558 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4559 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4562 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4563 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4564 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4566 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4568 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4569 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4570 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4571 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4572 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4573 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4574 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4575 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4576 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4577 or "the configuration storage API"...
4579 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4581 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4582 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4584 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4586 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4588 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4589 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4590 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4591 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4592 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4593 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4594 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4596 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4597 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4600 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4601 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4602 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4603 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4606 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4607 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4608 them in a portable way.
4609 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4611 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4613 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4615 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4616 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4618 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4619 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4620 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4623 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4624 was larger than the MD block size.
4625 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4627 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4628 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4629 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4630 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4634 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4635 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4636 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4638 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4640 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4642 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4643 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4644 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4645 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4646 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4647 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4649 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4650 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4652 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4653 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4656 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4659 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4660 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4662 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4663 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4664 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4665 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4668 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4669 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4670 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4671 does not suppress any output.
4674 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4675 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4676 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4677 with all the associated security issues.
4679 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4680 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4681 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4682 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4683 use the value in the default purpose.
4686 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4687 and fix a memory leak.
4690 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4691 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4692 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4693 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4696 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4697 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4698 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4699 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4702 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4703 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4704 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4707 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4708 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4711 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4712 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4716 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4717 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4720 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4721 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4722 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4725 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4726 number generation fails.
4729 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4732 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4733 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4735 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4738 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4739 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4741 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4742 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4744 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4746 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4747 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4750 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4751 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4753 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4754 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4757 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4758 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4759 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4760 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4761 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4762 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4764 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4765 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4766 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4770 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4771 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4772 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4773 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4774 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4775 counter, some don't.)
4776 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4777 counters or duplicate objects.
4780 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4781 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4784 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4785 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4786 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4788 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4789 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4790 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4794 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4795 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4798 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4799 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4800 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4804 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4805 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4806 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4809 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4810 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4811 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4812 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4813 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4814 should work without changes.
4817 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4818 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4819 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4820 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4821 must be defined. E.g.,
4822 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4823 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4824 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4825 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4827 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4831 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4832 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4833 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4836 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4837 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4838 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4839 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4842 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4843 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4844 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4845 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4846 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4847 is prompted for as usual.
4850 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4851 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4852 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4853 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4855 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4856 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4857 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4858 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4861 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4864 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4868 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4871 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4874 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4878 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4881 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4884 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4885 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4888 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4889 options to produce them.
4892 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4893 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4896 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4900 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4901 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4902 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4903 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4904 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4905 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4906 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4909 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4912 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4913 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4914 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4917 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4918 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4920 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4921 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4924 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4925 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4926 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4930 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4931 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4933 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4934 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4935 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4936 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4937 generation becomes much faster.
4939 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4940 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4941 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4942 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4943 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4944 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4945 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4946 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4947 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4948 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4951 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4952 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4953 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4954 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4955 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4956 trial division stage.
4959 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4963 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4966 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4969 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4970 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4971 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4975 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4976 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4977 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4980 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4981 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4982 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4983 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4985 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4986 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4989 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4992 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4993 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4994 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4995 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4998 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4999 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5000 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5003 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5004 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5005 (instead of parameters) in future.
5008 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5009 when a new cipher list is set.
5012 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5013 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5016 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5017 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5018 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5020 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5021 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5022 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5023 an error is flagged.
5025 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5026 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5027 the readability was also increased :-)
5028 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5030 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5031 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5032 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5033 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5037 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5038 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5041 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5042 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5043 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5044 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5047 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5048 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5049 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5050 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5051 because they handle more complex structures.)
5054 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5055 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5056 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5057 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5059 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5060 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5061 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5062 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5063 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5064 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5065 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5068 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5069 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5070 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5071 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5072 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5075 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5078 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5079 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5080 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5081 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5082 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5085 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5089 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5090 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5091 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5092 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5095 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5098 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5099 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5100 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5101 international characters are used.
5103 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5104 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5105 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5109 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5110 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5111 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5114 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5115 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5116 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5117 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5118 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5119 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5121 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5122 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5123 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5124 be handled by the string table functions.
5126 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5127 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5128 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5129 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5130 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5134 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5135 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5136 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5137 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5138 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5140 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5141 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5142 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5143 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5146 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5147 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5148 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5149 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5150 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5154 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5155 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5156 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5157 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5158 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5159 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5160 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5161 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5163 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5164 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5165 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5168 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5169 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5170 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5171 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5172 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5173 support to pkcs8 application.
5176 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5177 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5178 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5179 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5180 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5181 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5184 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5185 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5186 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5187 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5188 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5192 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5193 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5194 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5195 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5199 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5200 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5201 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5202 and any application specific purposes.
5204 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5205 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5206 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5207 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5208 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5209 if the certificate is self signed.
5212 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5213 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5216 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5217 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5218 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5219 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5222 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5223 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5224 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5225 Update documentation.
5228 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5229 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5230 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5231 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5232 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5235 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5237 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5239 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5240 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5241 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5242 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5243 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5244 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5245 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5246 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5247 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5248 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5250 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5252 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5253 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5254 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5255 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5256 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5258 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5259 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5260 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5261 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5262 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5263 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5264 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5265 request additional information:
5266 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5267 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5269 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5270 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5271 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5274 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5275 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5278 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5281 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5282 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5284 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5285 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5286 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5290 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5291 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5292 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5294 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5295 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5296 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5297 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5298 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5299 included in OpenSSL.
5302 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5303 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5304 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5305 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5306 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5307 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5310 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5314 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5315 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5316 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5317 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5318 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5322 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5326 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5327 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5328 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5329 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5330 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5331 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5332 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5333 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5334 be maintained manually.
5336 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5337 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5338 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5339 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5340 work because people forget to call this function]
5341 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5342 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5343 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5346 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5347 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5348 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5349 should be discouraged from doing it.
5352 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5353 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5354 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5355 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5356 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5357 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5360 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5361 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5362 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5364 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5365 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5366 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5368 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5369 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5370 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5371 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5372 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5373 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5375 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5376 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5377 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5379 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5380 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5383 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5384 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5385 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5386 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5389 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5392 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5393 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5394 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5395 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5396 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5397 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5398 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5399 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5400 keys so we should be OK.
5402 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5403 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5404 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5405 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5406 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5407 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5408 stay in the name of compatibility.
5410 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5411 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5412 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5414 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5415 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5416 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5417 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5418 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5419 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5423 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5424 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5425 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5426 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5427 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5428 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5429 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5430 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5431 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5432 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5433 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5434 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5435 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5438 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5441 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5442 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5443 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5444 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5445 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5446 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5447 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5448 openssl verify ss.pem
5449 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5450 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5454 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5455 (and add it to external session representation).
5456 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5457 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5458 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5459 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5460 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5461 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5463 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5465 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5466 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5467 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5468 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5470 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5471 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5472 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5475 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5476 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5477 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5481 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5482 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5483 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5485 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5486 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5487 certificate auxiliary information.
5490 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5494 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5495 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5496 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5497 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5498 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5499 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5500 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5503 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5504 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5507 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5508 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5509 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5510 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5513 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5516 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5517 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5520 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5521 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5522 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5523 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5524 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5525 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5526 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5527 using the new 'x509' options.
5529 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5530 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5531 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5532 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5536 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5537 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5538 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5539 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5540 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5543 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5544 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5545 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5546 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5547 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5548 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5549 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5550 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5551 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5552 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5555 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5556 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5557 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5558 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5559 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5560 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5561 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5564 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5565 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5566 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5567 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5568 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5569 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5570 openssl.cnf for more info.
5573 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5574 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5575 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5576 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5577 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5578 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5579 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5580 md should be large enough anyway.
5583 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5584 for handling the random seed file.
5586 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5588 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5591 x509 (when signing).
5592 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5593 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5594 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5596 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5597 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5598 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5599 that support '-rand'.
5602 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5603 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5606 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5607 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5610 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5611 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5612 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5613 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5617 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5618 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5619 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5620 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5623 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5624 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5625 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5626 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5627 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5628 print out all the purposes.
5631 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5635 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5636 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5637 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5638 single function call.
5641 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5642 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5645 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5646 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5647 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5650 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5651 when producing the local key id.
5652 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5654 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5655 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5656 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5660 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5661 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5662 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5663 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5666 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5667 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5668 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5669 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5671 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5672 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5673 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5674 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5676 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5677 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5678 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5679 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5680 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5681 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5682 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5683 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5684 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5685 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5686 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5687 trivial: move one line.
5688 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5690 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5691 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5692 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5693 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5694 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5695 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5696 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5697 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5698 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5699 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5700 with an event loop for example.
5703 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5704 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5705 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5706 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5707 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5708 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5709 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5710 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5711 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5714 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5715 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5716 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5717 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5718 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5719 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5722 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5723 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5724 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5725 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5727 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5728 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5729 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5730 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5734 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5735 (still largely untested)
5738 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5739 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5742 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5743 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5746 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5747 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5748 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5751 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5752 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5753 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5754 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5755 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5758 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5761 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5762 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5763 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5764 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5765 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5769 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5770 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5773 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5776 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5777 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5778 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5779 are otherwise ignored at present.
5782 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5783 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5784 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5785 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5786 copied until the next read.
5789 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5790 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5791 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5794 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5795 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5796 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5797 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5798 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5799 associated functions.
5802 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5803 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5804 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5805 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5806 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5807 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5808 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5809 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5810 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5814 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5815 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5816 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5817 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5820 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5821 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5822 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5823 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5824 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5828 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5829 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5833 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5834 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5835 extensions to be obtained and added.
5838 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5839 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5842 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5844 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5845 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5847 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5848 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5850 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5854 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5855 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5856 DH parameters contain its length).
5858 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5859 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5860 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5861 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5862 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5863 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5864 utter importance to use
5865 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5867 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5868 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5869 attacks may become possible!
5872 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5875 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5876 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5879 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5880 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5881 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5885 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5886 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5887 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5888 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5889 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5890 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5891 private key operations.
5894 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5897 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5898 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5900 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5901 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5902 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5903 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5904 the password callback is called.
5905 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5907 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5909 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5910 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5911 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5912 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5913 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5914 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5917 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5918 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5919 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5920 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5921 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5922 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5925 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5928 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5929 delete an unused file.
5932 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5933 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5934 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5935 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5938 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5939 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5940 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5944 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5945 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5946 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5948 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5949 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5950 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5951 comparison" warnings.
5952 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5955 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5956 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5957 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5960 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5961 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5963 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5964 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5966 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5967 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5968 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5970 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5971 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5972 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5973 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5974 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5976 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5978 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5979 The interface is as follows:
5980 Applications can use
5981 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5982 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5983 "off" is now the default.
5984 The library internally uses
5985 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5986 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5987 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5989 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5990 even the default) are now avoided.
5992 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5993 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5994 than just having a counter.
5996 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5998 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6002 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6003 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6004 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6005 Initial "mode" flags are:
6007 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6008 a single record has been written.
6009 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6010 retries use the same buffer location.
6011 (But all of the contents must be
6015 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6018 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6019 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6021 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6022 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6023 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6026 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6027 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6029 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6031 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6032 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6033 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6034 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6036 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6037 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6039 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6040 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6041 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6042 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6043 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6044 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6047 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6048 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6049 necessary function names.
6052 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6053 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6054 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6055 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6058 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6059 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6060 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6063 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6064 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6065 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6066 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6068 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6072 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6073 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6074 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6077 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6078 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6082 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6083 for the encoded length.
6084 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6086 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6089 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6090 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6091 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6092 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6095 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6096 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6097 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6099 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6100 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6101 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6105 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6106 to use the new extension code.
6109 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6110 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6111 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6115 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6116 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6117 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6121 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6124 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6125 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6126 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6129 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6130 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6131 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6132 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6135 *) DES library cleanups.
6138 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6139 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6140 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6141 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6142 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6146 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6147 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6150 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6151 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6152 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6153 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6154 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6155 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6156 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6157 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6158 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6161 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6162 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6163 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6164 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6165 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6166 value doesn't matter.
6169 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6173 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6174 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6175 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6176 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6178 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6181 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6182 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6183 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6185 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6186 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6188 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6191 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6194 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6197 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6201 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6203 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6205 *) Updated some demos.
6206 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6208 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6211 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6214 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6217 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6218 instead of using a fixed path.
6221 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6224 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6228 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6230 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6231 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6232 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6234 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6235 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6236 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6237 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6238 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6239 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6240 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6241 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6242 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6243 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6246 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6247 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6250 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6251 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6252 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6253 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6254 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6256 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6259 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6260 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6261 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6264 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6267 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6268 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6269 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6270 key elements as negative integers.
6273 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6274 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6277 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6279 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6280 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6281 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6284 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6285 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6286 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6287 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6288 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6291 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6294 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6295 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6296 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6297 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6299 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6300 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6301 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6303 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6304 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6305 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6306 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6307 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6308 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6309 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6310 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6311 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6313 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6314 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6315 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6316 does not influence s as it used to.
6318 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6319 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6320 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6321 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6322 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6323 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6326 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6327 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6328 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6332 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6333 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6334 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6338 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6339 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6340 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6344 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6345 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6348 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6349 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6354 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6355 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6357 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6358 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6360 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6363 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6366 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6369 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6370 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6371 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6375 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6376 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6377 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6378 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6379 now it really counts the depth.
6382 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6383 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6384 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6385 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6386 didn't match the private key).
6388 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6389 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6390 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6393 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6396 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6400 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6401 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6402 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6405 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6408 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6409 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6410 such as /usr/local/bin.
6413 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6414 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6416 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6419 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6420 extension adding in x509 utility.
6423 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6426 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6430 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6433 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6434 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6435 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6436 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6437 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6438 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6439 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6440 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6441 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6442 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6445 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6448 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6449 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6452 *) Fix some race conditions.
6455 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6456 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6459 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6462 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6463 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6464 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6465 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6467 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6468 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6470 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6471 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6472 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6474 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6475 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6477 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6480 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6481 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6483 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6486 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6487 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6489 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6490 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6493 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6494 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6497 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6498 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6501 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6502 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6505 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6506 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6509 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6510 support typesafe stack.
6513 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6514 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6516 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6517 old X509V3 handling code.
6520 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6523 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6526 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6529 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6530 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6532 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6533 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6534 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6535 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6536 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6539 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6540 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6541 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6542 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6543 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6545 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6546 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6547 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6548 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6550 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6551 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6552 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6553 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6555 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6556 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6557 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6558 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6559 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6560 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6563 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6564 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6567 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6568 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6571 *) Tweaks to Configure
6572 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6574 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6578 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6581 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6582 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6585 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6586 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6587 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6590 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6593 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6594 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6597 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6598 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6599 to library startup routines.
6602 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6603 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6604 codes along the way.
6607 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6608 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6609 objects to objects.h
6612 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6613 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6616 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6617 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6619 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6620 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6621 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6623 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6624 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6625 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6627 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6628 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6629 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6632 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6634 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6635 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6638 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6639 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6640 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6641 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6642 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6644 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6645 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6646 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6648 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6650 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6652 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6654 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6655 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6657 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6658 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6659 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6660 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6662 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6665 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6666 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6667 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6668 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6671 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6672 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6673 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6676 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6677 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6678 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6679 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6680 installed as `perl').
6681 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6683 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6684 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6686 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6687 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6688 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6689 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6690 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6693 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6696 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6697 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6698 is horrible: I feel ill....
6701 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6702 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6703 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6704 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6707 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6708 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6710 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6711 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6712 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6713 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6715 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6716 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6717 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6718 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6719 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6720 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6722 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6724 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6725 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6727 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6728 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6730 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6733 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6734 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6738 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6739 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6740 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6741 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6742 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6743 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6744 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6745 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6746 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6747 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6748 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6750 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6753 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6754 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6755 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6756 for linking it into DSOs.
6757 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6759 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6763 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6764 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6765 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6766 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6767 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6768 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6770 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6771 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6772 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6773 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6774 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6775 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6776 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6778 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6779 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6780 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6784 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6785 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6786 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6787 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6790 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6791 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6792 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6793 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6794 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6798 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6799 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6800 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6801 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6804 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6805 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6806 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6808 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6809 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6811 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6812 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6813 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6814 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6815 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6818 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6819 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6820 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6821 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6822 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6823 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6824 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6827 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6829 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6830 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6833 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6834 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6836 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6837 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6840 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6841 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6842 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6843 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6844 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6846 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6847 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6848 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6849 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6850 no way to reconfigure them.
6851 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6852 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6853 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6854 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6855 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6856 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6858 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6859 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6860 recognized by the users.
6861 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6863 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6864 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6865 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6866 already masked variable.
6867 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6869 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6870 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6872 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6873 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6874 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6875 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6877 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6878 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6879 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6881 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6882 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6883 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6884 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6885 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6886 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6887 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6888 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6890 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6892 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6893 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6894 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6896 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6897 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6901 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6902 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6904 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6905 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6906 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6907 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6910 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6913 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6914 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6916 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6919 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6920 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6923 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6924 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6927 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6928 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6929 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6930 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6931 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6932 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6933 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6936 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6937 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6939 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6940 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6941 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6942 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6943 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6945 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6946 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6947 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6950 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6951 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6955 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6956 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6957 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6959 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6960 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6961 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6965 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6966 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6967 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6968 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6971 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6972 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6973 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6974 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6977 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6978 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6979 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6980 so it wasn't spotted.
6981 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6983 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6984 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6985 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6986 vectors if you have them.
6989 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6990 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6993 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6994 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6995 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6996 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6998 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6999 it will update them.
7002 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7003 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7004 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7005 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7006 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7007 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7008 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7009 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7011 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7012 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7013 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7014 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7015 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7016 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7017 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7018 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7019 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7020 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7022 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7023 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7024 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7025 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7026 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7029 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7033 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7034 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7036 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7037 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7039 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7040 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7043 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7044 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7046 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7047 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7049 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7052 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7056 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7057 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7058 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7059 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7061 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7064 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7067 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7070 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7071 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7074 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7075 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7079 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7080 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7083 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7084 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7085 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7088 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7089 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7090 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7091 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7092 properly to be processed.
7095 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7096 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7097 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7100 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7101 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7103 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7104 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7105 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7106 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7107 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7108 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7109 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7110 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7111 or delete all the .err files.
7114 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7115 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7116 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7117 to regenerate it if needed.
7118 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7119 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7121 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7122 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7124 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7125 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7126 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7127 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7128 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7131 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7132 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7134 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7135 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7137 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7138 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7139 error, but didn't set one).
7140 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7142 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7145 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7146 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7149 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7150 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7152 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7153 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7154 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7155 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7156 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7157 OID is not part of the table.
7160 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7161 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7164 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7167 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7168 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7172 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7173 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7175 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7177 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7179 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7180 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7182 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7183 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7185 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7186 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7188 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7189 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7192 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7193 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7196 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7197 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7199 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7200 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7202 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7203 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7205 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7206 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7208 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7209 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7210 unused in the certificate verification process.
7211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7213 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7214 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7217 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7218 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7219 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7221 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7222 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7223 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7224 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7225 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7227 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7228 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7231 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7234 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7237 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7238 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7240 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7243 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7246 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7249 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7250 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7251 other error libraries.
7254 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7257 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7258 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7262 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7263 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7264 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7265 the new set of documenation files.
7266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7268 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7269 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7270 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7271 number of arguments.
7272 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7274 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7277 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7278 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7279 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7281 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7284 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7288 unixware-2.0-pentium
7292 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7293 before they are needed.
7296 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7300 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7302 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7303 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7304 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7306 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7309 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7310 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7311 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7313 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7314 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7315 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7317 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7318 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7319 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7321 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7322 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7324 *) Updated the README file.
7325 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7327 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7328 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7329 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7331 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7332 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7333 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7335 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7336 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7337 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7338 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7339 o removed obsolete TODO file
7340 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7341 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7343 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7344 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7345 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

7348 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7349 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7351 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7354 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7355 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7356 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7358 [The OpenSSL Project]
7361 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7363 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7366 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7369 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7370 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7373 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7374 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7378 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7380 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7382 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7385 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7388 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7391 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7394 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7397 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7400 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7403 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7406 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7409 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7412 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7415 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7418 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7421 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7424 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7427 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7430 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7433 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7434 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7435 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7438 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7439 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7442 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7445 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7448 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7449 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7452 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7455 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7458 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7459 bytes sent in the client random.
